It turns out that, if you examine #Burzynski's "success stories," they are almost never really success stories. Anyone with a decent knowledge of oncology (like me) can figure out that it wasn't his treatment that resulted in good outcomes. 12/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/stanislaw-burzynskis-cancer-success-stories/ …
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/ …

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
