Then I learned that #Burzynski had figured out that one antineoplaston was a prodrug of an orphan drug and was starting to use that drug off label as his "miracle cure.". 7/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/stanislaw-burzynski-antineoplastons-and-the-orphan-drug-sodium-phenyl-butyrate/ …
Depressingly given all the years it's been at it, last year the Texas Medical Board, although it managed to enter a judgment against Burzynski, failed to strip him of his medical license and only had his practice monitored. 17/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/texas-medical-board-lets-off-stanislaw-burzynski-lightly/ …

Sadly,
#Burzynski is still up to his old tricks. providing false hope and charging them hundreds of thousands of dollars for his ineffective treatment. 18/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/05/01/how-is-it-that-in-2018-cancer-stanislaw-burzynski-is-still-preying-on-desperate-cancer-patients/ …Show this thread -
Unfortunately, although it makes me feel good about humans to see how willing they are to help, the generosity of strangers frequently provides that money through social media fundraising. 19/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/05/03/how-is-it-that-in-2018-cancer-stanislaw-burzynski-is-still-preying-on-desperate-cancer-patients-update/ …

As for
#Burzynski's data, although he's published some of his results, he's never published any convincing evidence. Here's one example. 20/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/04/17/stanislaw-burzynski-publishes-42-5-of-one-clinical-trial/ …Show this thread -
Here's what is perhaps
#Burzynski's best attempt to show that his ANPs work. It is utterly unconvincing. 21/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/06/09/stanislaw-burzynski-publishes-his-antineoplaston-results-again-its-no-more-convincing-than-last-time/ …Show this thread -
Then there's this trial, which, as much as
#Burzynski and his fans tried to spin it otherwise, basically showed that ANPs don't have detectable activity against liver metastases from colorectal cancer. 22/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/03/24/dr-hidaeka-tsuda-demonstrates-that-antineoplastons-dont-work-against-colon-cancer/ …Show this thread -
In the end, what
#Burzynski shows more than anything else, is how ineffective state medical boards and the@US_FDA sometimes are about stopping quackery. 23/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/stanislaw-burzynski-and-robert-o-young-how-two-quacks-of-a-feather-illustrate-how-poorly-states-regulate-medical-practice/ …Show this thread -
Worse, now that
#RightToTry has passed Congress and will soon be signed into law, Burzynski's practice model has, in essence, been legalized. After all, ANPs have passed phase I testing and Burzynski still has clinical trials for them registered—bogus trials, but trials. 24/Show this thread -
In the end, for four decades,
#Burzynski has victimized the most desperate of patients, selling them a toxic brew that causes severe hypernatremia for vast sums of money while labeling it "nontoxic." Why he is lionized in alt med circles, I'll never understand. 25/25Show this thread
