Burzynski: The Movie **SKEPTIC ALERT**

Again, MsBliss -- is this the research you meant?

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100312133712.htm

Very interesting, and very scary.

It's at the University of Maryland Medical Center, which is in Baltimore.

AnnNYC, then I was wrong.  But I didn't ask nor suggest whether thenewme works for BP, I asked what ties might exist that are bubbling to the surface in all of thenewme's posts.  After all, it was thenewme that started the Burzynski bashing topic in the Complementary Medicine forum.  Anyway, I don't feel that BP is the bad guy, for goodness sake. 

But your statement begs the questions:  how do you have the transcript of my post word for word? The post was edited within minutes of posting.

Interesting -- the authors of the first "microtentacle" study I linked to have also found that lidocaine and tetracaine cause the microtentacles to collapse:

Of course, the first study was done in cell cultures and in mice, and the second study only in cell culture, but hopefully this will be applicable in some way in people, and it sounds like these authors (Martin, Matrone and colleagues) are making some headway in understanding mets...

Thank you for leading me to these papers, MsBliss.

Yes, AnnNYC, the subject of thenewme's connections should not be indictable, if she has answered the question already then enough said.  I support skepticism, even more, I support the scientific protocol.  This is why the Burzynski docu was so interesting.  It was so tightly footnoted that it could withstand complete cross examination not only in a court of law, but in a court of science.  It was disturbing to me because up until I saw the docu, I had dismissed his science completely.  The same standard of proof applies and the film makers satisfied it to a surprising standard.

Regarding the microtentacle study, you are very welcome.  It is a privilege to share on this forum.  There is a wonderful and descriptive video about the study on youtube.  I think you will want to see this:

I don't think I can make the link hot, but copy and paste.

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

HA!  Found it!

And no, I don't have stocks in deer, antelope or buffalo.

Maaaaaybe someone should tell them!

MsBliss, I agree with you completely. I admire your courage on continuing to post on this thread. You're incredible.

Like you, BCO saved me. This board has been great. For me, it was back in 2006, with my 2cm IDC diagnosis. I came here, in disarray. I was overwhelmed. I had CANCER! But back then, they didn't have Complementary or Alternative treatment threads. 

Yet, just reading the regular "Radiation" threads I determined that I would never do radiation. I formed that conclusion from select individuals who had posted who had not done radiation and had done, fine. And I became one of them. And actually, it was my own onc who told me that if I chose not to do the radiation, forget the Tamoxifen. Pretty much useless.

And here I am, 5.5 years later, cancer free. With none of those debilitating side effects of those treatments.  Radiation and Tamoxifen. And Chemo.Although, with my 2cm cancer that was not offered. 

Yet lately, BCO has become something different. I'm becoming one of those driven off of this site. Because I don't hold the PC views. Even on these Complementary and Alternative threads.

I do also believe in surgery as an essential first step in irradicating the cancer. My 2cm IDC was cut out with huge margins. As was my 2004 2cm Leiomyosarcoma cancer.  Although, interesting, for the Leio cancer, I was offered no ancillary treatments. No radiation, no chemo. 

Hmmm. Why not? Both cancers, both 2cm. It is not hard to figure out.  

Dear Leia,

So good to hear you are doing well and thank you for sharing your experience.  Please tell me you have optimized your vitamin D levels!

It is sad that BCO has sunk to the level of having something akin to bullying and banishment on what seems to be trivial, petty little disagreements.  Now something that my neighbor, who is Her2 positive and metastatic said to me several weeks ago makes sense.  I asked her if she went to BCO or any other forums to learn and share and she said that she doesn't do that anymore.  It was draining on her emotionally. I said because you see your sisters lose their battles?  She said no, it was because she didn't feel free to express her true feelings anymore and it was affecting her blood pressure.  I didn't know what she was talking about until yesterday.  That made me sad because I was always so positive about BCO and other forums because they offer us so much.  

Edited for adverbs!

Hi Baywatcher,

I hope we can share with each other the best pertinent info....it will be a pleasure.

All my best,

Bliss

Taxpayers are - apple - reason's complicated and for another thread. In strictly economical terms the private delivery of healthcare especially for a hi tech illness creates a huge inflationary/fiscal pressure. Will say more but not on my no commas cell phone.



Why don't i have a comma......

My comma is Alt N key. I don't believe my insurance company is costing the tax payers. They show salaries in astronomical numbers to the higher ups in the company. But that is my humble opinion.



This info on "B" is really a horror! I can understand the patient (and family) looking for miracles. The answer is not to be found there. I know that as I progressed through the stages (not BC Stage) since my diagnosis there were periods of bargaining, and some of what can I do to make this better. Even bought a VERY EXPENSIVE juicer that is such a pain to use! Thought the more expensive, the better for me. HA! It is going on Craigslist as soon as I can afford the Vitamix!

Ms Bliss, It's very discouraging to see that the mods would edit your post yet let some of the downright utter, meaningless, trollish posts continue to go on here.  It's utter censorship and it does make you wonder who is really behind the scenes.  Attacks to the alt women go on here daily, yet the poster's comments are allowed to remain.  Why aren't those censored or deleted?  If your post was so inflammatory, then why has it been allowed to be repeated and remain in AnnNYC's "cut & paste" post above.  You said nothing more than the rest of us were already thinking. 

Thenewme,why do you get a kick out of antagonizing alt bc women?  You are obviously a staunch "conventionalist."   What do you get out of posting things like this thread on the alt boards?  And dont add injury to insult by saying you want to "help" the newbies.  

Ladies, the ones who are fueling thenewme's fire....Follow me while I go to the conventional boards and post that chemo kills.

Of course I would never do that but that is the equivalent to what is happening here.
