“they chose to cling on the hopes offered by Stanislaw Burzynski.”
With a name like this, it sounds like this guy practices Soviet-style socialized medicine.
This should have the parents a clue to find another Dr. With a name like Goldberg or Rothstein, you can pretty much getting a quality doc than one named “Stanislaw”...
Just an observation...
He is not a quack. I’m actually quite sure Burzynski did not tell her that her son would be cured by his method. However, the FDA has been trying to shut him down for decades and he has been taken to court many times. Each time he has been able to show that the FDA was not honest in their prosecution. The FDA’s heavy handling of his clinic in Texas has also been the focus of Congressional hearings.
This is merely one more attempt by the FDA to shut him down. I hope he beats it again. He has had a lot of success with several types of cancers. (He does not claim to have “the cure” for all cancers.)
5.0 out of 5 stars A story that needed telling, November 1, 2002
By Henry Wasserman (Deerfield, Illinois) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: The Burzynski Breakthrough (Hardcover)
Thank you, Thomas Elias, for bringing the Burzynski story to the public’s attention in a big way. I know this book has already saved lives — my neighbors’ son was diagnosed two years ago with an untreatable brain stem tumor, given less than three months to live — but is alive today because they read this book and acted on it.
But I didn’t know until I read the book myself that the government has tried for years to stifle this drug, even tried to put Burzynski in prison. It’s an incredible story of governmental malfeasance, very well told.
Bravo, Mr. Elias, both for writing this book and for making it such a good read!
