Dr. Burzynski discovered peptides and amino
acid derivatives in the human body that control cancer, not by destroying
cancer cells but by correcting them. He named these substances
antineoplastons.
Antineoplastons are nontoxic substances
that have shown to be a promising therapy for difficult-to-treat brain
cancers, low- and intermediate-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and many
common types of solid tumors. Note: Antineoplastons have not been approved
by the Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective for the
treatment of any disease or condition. However, clinical trials are under
way on this treatment.
Dr. Burzynski has been approved by
the Food and Drug Administration as Principal Investigator in over
70 clinical trial studies. These studies encompass a wide range of
cancer types in both children and adults. However, he is best
known for treating brain cancer.
After 25 years of experimentation,
the outlook for antineoplastons in the treatment of cancer has never
been brighter. However, Dr. Burzynski advises that the treatment is
still considered experimental, and that no promises of effectiveness
can be made.
All residents of the United States must participate and be treated under
a current FDA-approved clinical trial or Special Exception. Residents of
most other countries must receive FDA permission to ship antineoplastons
to that country. All patients are treated on an outpatient basis. The
treatment is self-administered and normally free of serious side effects.
Currently there is legislation underway to
allow for choice of therapy in treating ones cancer that resulted from
Thomas Navarro being denied treatment at Burzynski's clinic. Go to our legislation
page for more information on the Thomas Navarro FDA Patient Rights
Act (H.R. 3677) or go to www.cancerbusters.com.

The information on this page is provided by
The Cancer Cure Foundation based on information we have received from a
variety of sources, including the clinic itself, feedback from people who
have gone to the clinic, and in some cases from clinic tours. The listing
of a doctor or clinic here does not signify an endorsement by the Cancer
Cure Foundation, unless we have indicated it. We encourage you to check
out each clinic by visiting the clinic if possible, talking to people who
have gone to the clinic (ask the clinic for contact information of people
who have gone to the clinic), and by checking with other
organizations as to what they know about the clinic. There are also
some forums you can join to
get feedback from others. We would also be happy to tell you what we know
about any of these clinics.
If you do go to any of these clinics for treatment, be sure to mention
you heard about them through The Cancer Cure Foundation, and be sure to
let us know about your experience, positive or negative. Any feedback you
can offer may help others who are trying to decide which clinic to go to
or which therapy to use.
