Anyone have ever been to this doctor?

it's a long movie, but I ran into it trying to find other alternative to 'traditional' treatment. (Dr. Burzynski movie)

What movie are you referencing, jstpddle?

Hi jstpddle. My MIL went to see him when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I don't know all the details of the treatment...we barely spoke, but she was gone for about three months and if I remember correctly, paid about 50k . She lasted about two and a half years. Her prognosis from doctors here was 1 to 2 years, so I'd have to say she wasted her money. I think the only real success he has had is with glioblastomas, and mostly children.

He's been brought up before. Here's the link.

Leggo, that is exactly right from what I have read. He has also been investigated more than once, I think for fraud but maybe also for malpractice

I have to make it clear though, that the fact he saved even one child from the hell of glioblastoma, is reason enough for the government to work with him, not persecute him. Advances in better treatments in even one type of cancer should be welcomed and celebrated. Instead, they're busy thinking of ways to lay criminal charges. That bugs me.
