First time posting. Wanted to inform and start a discussion on the FDA and National Cancer Institute's motivations for FIGHTING a proven cancer cure...
I just watched that Burzynski movie on the recommendation of a physician friend. I found it very interesting, provocative, and frankly upsetting. We were both discussing the embedded institutional corruption of our nation and whether we would ever see revolutionary cures come about in our lifetime. There are massive conflicts of interest that currently exist between regulators and the healthcare industry. There are massive profits being made to maintain the status quo and the FDA is on their payroll as the movie illustrated.
The FDA tried for years to block him, and then they collaborated with Elan?? to steal his patents on antineoplastons.
The researcher from the National Cancer Institute had a good suggestion that all government cancer research money should be divided into two parts one for establishment big business approved treatments, and the other for the alternative medicine? At the end of the year the money would be reconfigured based upon successes.
I’m now cynical enough to believe if someone ever developed a 300 mpg carburetor, it would never see the light of day because of the embedded wealth it would destroy. The same outlook with revolutionary cures.
As my previous post shows, I disagree.
If Ford developed a 300 mpg carburetor, they would have every incentive in the world to put it in their own cars (sell more of them), and license it to other car manufacturers (make lots of money).
The oil companies might have an incentive to hide such an invention, but the oil and car companies are two different groups. Why would Ford take a huge reduction in its own profits just to protect the profits of Exxon?
This is similar to the way checks and balances work in our constitution, as Adam Smith recognized centuries ago, the free market works because the participants are selfish people looking out for their own self-interest. It doesn’t require altruistic people to function.
Have you seen the movie? It’s worth a watch.
My carb example is not as relative to Burzynski because of the insider regulators who control medical treatment. If a small time inventor (versus Ford) developed the carb it’s possible the entrenched interests would be successful at keeping it mothballed.
Burzynski is a relatively small time operator that has had some astounding and proven medical successes, but it is in a field dominated by big operators entrenched in providing many aspects of treatment, and also with government regulators dominated by industry insiders.
The real message they want to send is that industry changing and revolutionary innovation through small business is dead in the USA, unless one is willing to throw in with those in the club. Unless the vultures either on the financier venture capital side or the existing big pharma side get a big piece of the action, they and regulator puppets will crush you.
When you see the games that the FDA and others played with peoples lives on these trials intended only to marginalize treatment and Burzynski, there should be criminal charges.
Global corporations and bankers and their insider regulator puppets have too much control over all aspects of government. Conservatives need to wake up that bigger business, their control of government and stymieing competition is not in our national interest. Lobbyist insiders are appointing regulatory positions.

LOL! Nice pic.
That is, of course, why Facebook just sold for billions of dollars a very short time after the company started as a lark.
Sorry I don’t compare regulated healthcare outcomes and cures, with a worthless meaningless Facebook account controlled by cronies intended to market our private info. Facebook is intended to control Americans and their lives and their politics, not cure us of anything.
We have been co-opted to become a nation of sheep helping other cronies and not helping society. That’s why the media companies and their sites are now forcibly restricting the ability of readers to comment on news articles except by joining Facebook, and to make Zuckerburg even more billions.
Zuckerburg has already said he wants to know everything about all people and they want to know your beliefs and politics. They will know your political beliefs just as if you voted through FB. IMHO no one has the broad right to know and catalog one’s politics but yet the media and FB is pushing every American to be cataloged politically in their data base.
