Living in the Houston area and working in research in pediatric
hematology/oncology I've personally known a number of children treated by
Dr. Burzynski.  Unfortunaely they all died a painful death that their
families were not prepared for because of the false hope they were offered.
His "cure rate" is no better than the rate for spontaneous remissions often
experienced in these cases.  If his treatment is so much better good
scientific evidence and careful records would show it and the
pharmeceuticals would be clamoring to buy it.

My tenant's 56 year old mother came down with one of the lymphomas. It
is
one of the cancers he claims to be able to cure. His charge was $42,000.
The family scrapped together the money. After they spent $28,000 she
died.
Later contacting Burzynski he didn't even have in his records that she
died. As far as I'm concerned he is a fraud that falsifies records to
make
himself look good.
