which are themselves carcinogenic and may promote

recurrences and the development of metastatic disease."

Let's read that one again, shall we?

"Current approaches to combat cancer rely primarily on the use of

chemicals and radiation, which are themselves carcinogenic and may

promote recurrences and the development of metastatic disease."

Now how could the U.S. Patent Office be corrupted to the point that

they issue patents on medical therapies that have

already been patented,

and issue them to someone who had nothing

to do with their discovery or use?

How could that happen?

And how could the patent

office then assign these fraudulent patents

to some of the most powerful

institutions in American government?

And imagine,

all of this was being done while

these same government agencies

were spending millions of taxpayers' dollars

trying to put Dr. Burzynski in jail

so he could not fight the criminal theft of his discovery.

They sometimes have a creed-

it's to "separate the medicine from the medicine man".

Of course these "higher-ups" at the NCI (National Cancer Institute)

or whatever, they think "Hey guys, we've been doing this for years."

"We know what's going on."

So they think, "Well, we know what's going on with

phenylacetate, phenylacetylglutamine..."

If you can outsmart the medicine man,

you can cut a piece of the pie for yourself.

That's the name of the game.

If you cannot be the first one,

If you can be the second one,

and be bigger than the first one-

Steal. Why not?

That's the mentality.

Under the capitalist sun, there is nothing sacred.

Money talks.

The smear campaign against us continues,

from good doctors, from the American Medical Association,

from the American Cancer Society.

Despite of the fact that it

should have stopped a long time ago.

What do you mean by this "plaston study", what is that?

Antineoplastons are peptides which I discovered, which can

stimulate genes which fight cancer, and that can decrease

the activity of the genes that cause cancer.

They are molecular switches.

Did you publish that?

Yes, I published about 300 articles.

That seems revolutionary, do you discount that?

I have known of what he's been doing and I think

that there is no scientific evidence that his treatment

provides any benefit for cancer patients.

Your discounting all the work he's been doing?

Yes.

He also claims that there are no complications in his

treatment, and I have actually had on patient that

went to him and had the treatment, and almost died.

Let's meet a cancer patient that

Dr. Keith Black had previously consulted:

Four years after my diagnosis, I had run into one of

the neuro-oncologists that I had met with.

I told him that I had gone to Dr. Burzynski and I was cured.

He kind of wrote it off. I was very excited to tell him

that I was cured, and he really burst my bubble about it.

It was depressing for me.

I don't know why Dr. Black will not tell the truth.

We conducted 12 Phase 2 clinical trials under

strict FDA supervision.

In every one of these trials, we have proven that this

treatment works. This treatment can cure incurable brain cancer.

These patients have lived not just 5 years free of cancer,

but over 10 years free of cancer-with the types of cancers

that chemotherapy can do absolutely nothing.

This is well documented. It was reviewed by the top oncologists

in the United States, but it was never reviewed by Dr. Black.

He didn't review a single patient treated by us.

Why are you not open to this?

Actually, I am open to anything that would benefit my patients.

The doctors I know and the clinicians I know-these people

are evangelical. They are hugely vested and invested in

doing what they believe is very important work.

It helps them get up in the morning to go to work.

So, people who are invested in that kind of zealous way,

are going to look at anything that isn't within their vision-

they are going to look askance at it-calling it weird,

or calling the doctor a charlatan.

If they had not looked so askance at it, and they had allowed

him the opportunity to put this through the testing 20 years ago-

think about how much farther ahead he'd be.

I think what is amazing, is that Dr. Burzynski has had

a vision, a passion, and a zeal for 40 or more years-

he's tolerated being called everything short of

and probably including a witch doctor,

because of his firm belief that he can save people's lives.

And what that says about his character, and the fiber

of his backbone, to be willing to take that on,

and to be alive and recognized when it happens. There are many

times in history where the inventor has basically died or was

impoverished before they had a chance

to see the fruition of that great invention,

and he has a chance of doing that.

Since 1995, all cancer patients who received

Antineoplaston treatment in the USA, did so under

the approval and supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.

These patients where treated within "Phase 2 FDA clinical Trials",

without the aid of The National Cancer Institute,

or any other cancer research entity.

Antineoplastons are responsible for the first recorded

cures in medical history within any FDA-approved clinical trial

for inoperable brainstem gliomas in children - with a 30%-50% cure rate.

A "cure" is defined as a 5-year survival.

Since 2009, permission for the final phase of FDA clinical testing

to allow Antineoplastons to be "FDA-approved" has been granted.

The only obstacles now are the $300 million dollars

needed to pay for this final phase of clinical testing-

-and the FDA requiring children with inoperable brainstem glioma

to also undergo radiation treatment in these Phase 3 trials,

claiming it would be "unethical" not to do so.

The fact that we are permitted to

enter Phase 3 trials means

that the treatment already shows

safety and efficacy in Phase 2 trials.

This means that at this moment

we should receive overwhelming support,

instead of being harassed as we are so far.

When you look at what is going on

and how Dr. Burzynski is being handled,

it is clearly a result of big business, big government,

big labor, big PhRMA, big cancer industry, whatever-

they become so wrapped up in protecting the institution,

whatever it is, that they forget what their fundamental job is.

What is happening with big PhRMA and big cancer

is that they have forgotten to be curious about new

opportunities and options out there,

instead they are focused on protecting their turf.

This film is dedicated to everyone who has

been affected by cancer.
