what do you think, a doctor cures some forms of Cancer but Pharma & FDA try to prevent his work?

What do I think? I think you've watched one video and neglected to do any further research.

The FDA is not suppressing Stanislaw Burzynski's cancer treatment; nor is anyone else.

But many knowledgeable people are, quite rightly, challenging it - because it is not proven.

Burzynski claims to be able to cure cancer using extracts of human urine. He is an MD; however he had no specialty training in cancer and had no preclinical or clinical cancer research experience when he announced his 'cure for cancer' 35 years ago.

His ''antineoplastons" - the substances he has isolated from human urine which he claims cure cancer - have not been shown to have any effect on cancer; attempts to replicate his claimed results by the National Cancer Institute, the Japanese National Cancer Institute and Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals failed.

This is from Orac's Respectful Insolence blog:

''...Dr. Burzynski first gained fame for his antineoplastons back in 1988, when Sally Jesse Raphael featured four "miracle" patients of Burzynski, who, according to her, had had incurable cancer and failed conventional therapies but were then cancer-free, thanks to Dr. Burzynski. Unfortunately, four years later in 1992, Inside Edition followed up these four patients:

'In 1992, "Inside Edition" reported that two of the four patients had died and a third was having a recurrence of her cancer. (The fourth patient had bladder cancer, which has a good prognosis.) The widow of one of Raphael's guests stated that her husband and five others from the same city had sought treatment after learning about Burzynski from a television broadcast -- and that all had died of their disease. In 1995, a federal grand jury indicted Burzynski for mail fraud and marketing an unapproved drug. The indictment charged that he had billed insurance companies using procedure codes for chemotherapy, even though his treatment was not chemotherapy. He was tried in 1997 but not convicted.' ''

This link describes an attempt at independent replication of Burzynski's claims; all nine patient died before the study closed, eight of them because of cancer progression:

And this excellent article is well worth a read before you start claiming that a miracle cancer cure has been discovered and suppressed

...and it's free to read, today and every day! Not enough that Burzynski's 'cure' is hellish expensive, you even have to pay to watch the video about it.
