30 years ago, I remember following the plight of Dr. Burzynski in Houston when reading some articles on alternative medicine curing aggressive brain cancers in pediatric patients.

Because of his use of alternative cancer treatments, the FDA raided and destroyed his offices and laboratory, hounded and arrested his patients; the list of hardships this man endured goes on and on. He recovered his business several times with the help of grateful patients he'd treated. Why did the FDA do this? Because Dr. Burzynski's treatments of various cancers had such a high success rate while the current conventional methods had a terrible cure rate.

Eventually, he won against the FDA in court...but even so, the FDA told him they would continue their vigil unless he began offering "conventional" cancer treatments as well as the alternative methods he had developed.

It's definitely a big money industry and they don't like competition.
