By adding more antineoplastons, the theory is that those substances may: Antineoplastons can be taken orally or injected into the bloodstream. I dont know what sort of attacks on the UK bloggers who produce the bulk of the skeptical blog posts about Burzynski are coming in Burzynski II, but when it comes to me no doubt Merola is referring to this bit of yellow journalism in 2010 from an antivaccine propagandist named Jake Crosby, entitled David Gorskis Financial Pharma Ties: What He Didnt Tell You. After 27 years of independent research, the results of Japans randomized clinical trials using Antineoplastons were published and the results showed that Burzynskis Antineoplaston therapy was not only remarkably effective, it enabled the patients to live TWICE as long than with chemo alone. Publicizing their alleged research in a movie made by a Burzynski sycophant, toady, and lackey is just not the way science is supposed to be done, and his record, as demonstrated by the public record, appears dismal. The year 2012 was rung out and the year 2013 will be rung in by news that Eric Merola, propagandist for brave maverick doctor Stanislaw Burzynski who claims to have developed a cancer treatment far superior to current conventional science- and evidence-based cancer treatments, is releasing releasing a sequel to his wildly successful documentary (in the alternative cancer underground, that is) Burzynski The Movie: Cancer Is Serious Business.

They are made up of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and peptides (compounds made of two or more amino acids). More problems were observed in 2013 during the FDA clinic inspection. Burzynski believes antineoplastons are part of our natural defense system and that they help prevent abnormal cell growth. Antineoplaston therapy is an experimental cancer treatment.
