"The Burzynski Breakthrough" Is a book that I suggest anyone interested in cancer reads. It is about D. Burzynski (yes, he is polish) who has basically (IMHO) found a cure for cancer. The only problem is that he is trying to go through the burocracy of the US. His "cure" are protein naturally produced in human being which prevent cancer. Sometimes people stop producing these proteins for unknown reasons, and they get cancer.
Dr. Burzynski first isolated these proteins in human urine, which makes perfect sense, if you understand how kidneys work. They can now be synthesized for those of us who are squeamish.:P
The ONLY problem is that Burzynski's proteins are NOT artifically produced in such a way they can be PATENTED as a drug and used to make money. Using herbal or plant based treatements has the same problem. Anytime something COULD be used to cure something, but CANNOT be used to make money, the "scientific community" refuses to accept any data.
A Quote:
"What made Dr Burzynski a threat to the cancer industry from the beginning was the prospect that antineoplaston therapy represented a successful alternative to toxic and dangerous chemotherapy drugs, upon which most of the cancer industry's profits depend. Did the NCI pick up the tab for completing his research? Did the ACS help with favourable publicity? Of course not. The minute NCI saw evidence of antineoplastons working they distorted the data by withdrawing the 2 successful patients and thus the evidence. NCI's conduct towards him is a striking example of how an agency presumed to be objective can set up a study that will either prove or disprove anything it wants. In this case, there is clear evidence that NCI wanted to prove antineoplastons didn't work."--John Diamond, M.D. & Lee Cowden, M.D.
I have to agree that chemotherapy is quite expensive (not to mention dangerous) and that by having a cheap cure for cancer one would strike a blow to cost the medical profession billions of dollars every year.
Anyway, just my two bits!
