I stumbled across an article that caught my attention. Dr. Burzynski is located in Texas and is currently conducting some phase II trials using synthetic antioneoplastons. The majority of the cancers treated are of the brain. If you google "burzynski clinic texas" his site will pop up.

I am currently reading some of his articles. Might be worth looking into especially for those whose Docs have thrown in the towel already.

I know that the info is a little old now but it does show both sides of the argument plus a professional evaluation.

As always, it's hard to decide what is and isn't a valid treatment but I'd certainly stick with conventional therapies if they were available.

Hello,

He is a rather controversial figure. On the one hand, he does publish in the mainstream medical journals. On the other hand, he never did a study as required by NHI and NCI.

I personally spoke with one of his very committed supporters who is a friend of my friend. She was his patient and she believes she owes her life to him. I also spoke with doctors and staff at his clinic on several occasions. I was not impressed. On top of that, a few weeks ago another personal friend had a treatment at his clinic. It didn't do much for her either and there were several screw-ups that happened during and after the treatment.

To summarize, you may want to decide for yourself, but what I've learned has not been great so far and it is not getting any better as I learn more.

Good luck,

Serguei
