First, Stanislaw Burzynski failed them, and, second, they made the news because they held fundraisers to try to pay the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars that Burzynski charges for his services. There are more, so many more, but they all share two things in common. Before that, it was a parade of children and adults that included Brynlin Sanders, Jesse Bessant, Shana Pulkinen, Billie Bainbridge, Kelli Richmond, and Olivia Bianco. Most recently it was Rachael Mackey and Amelia Saunders. This sort of story has become a depressingly common topic for this blog over the last year since I really started to notice Burzynski and his followers in a big way. Through it all, Burzynski collects huge fees for his "services," motivating the desperate families of dying cancer patients to hold massive fundraisers. Lately, Burzynski has been claiming to use what he refers to as "personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy," which is more appropriately described as " personalized therapy for dummies," given how incompetently it is carried out and the manner in which Burzynski mixes and matches very expensive targeted therapy and chemotherapy in ways guaranteed to produce synergistic toxicity. The documentary was awful, full of biased misinformation and overall just a plain bad movie. He's even starred in his very own documentary, which his very own propagandist Eric Merola, used as a paean to the greatness that Burzynski obviously considers himself to possess. I'm referring, of course, to the dubious doctor known as Stanislaw Burzynski, a man who charges desperate patients with advanced (and usually incurable) cancer tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars to participate in his "clinical trials" of antineoplastons, compounds that he claims to have isolated from urine and that he now represents as a promising new treatment that can do much better than existing therapies with much less toxicity, even though there's no evidence that it can. There is, however, one topic other than antivaccinationist assaults against science and reason that will sometimes obligate me to go on a roll such that I might write multiple posts in a short period of time. In fact, it's fairly rare that I feel it for any other topic.
Most commonly, I notice this concern when writing about the lunacy of the anti-vaccine movement. There are times when I fear that I'm writing about the same topic too many times in too brief a period of time.
