This is a prime example of deceit by Dr Keith Black who is now fighting dirty, revealing his true character on national television. There is a personal hatred going on here.
Dr Black knows that invasive brain cancer is invariably fatal in a short time, and the majority of brain cancer patients go into a coma and die, just like Edward Kennedy from his Glioblastoma. It is very unusual and bad form for anyone to bring up individual patient cases on national television. This is done for only one purpose: to discredit Burzynski at any cost.
The same tactics can be applied to Keith Black's patients. Virtually 100% of Keith Black's invasive Glioblastoma patients go into a coma and die within 6-12 months of diagnosis, yet he is indicting Dr Burzynski because ONE patient went into a coma and ALMOST died. This is the natural course of the disease, and they all do that whether treated conventionally or non-conventionally. This is a bad disease.
To use this case to take a pot-shot at Dr Burzynski, a fellow MD PhD, is an inexcusable breach of ethics by Dr Black, indicating a personal hatred, and a hatchet job for the cancer establishment. Amazingly, Dr Burzinski refused to stoop to Dr Black's level, and did not bring up the thousands of patients who have died while under Dr. Black's care. How do I know this? That is the nature of the game for all oncologists and neurosurgeons who treat brain cancer. Virtually 100% of the patients with invasive cancer die under their care.
Next: Larry King gives Burzynski a chance to respond to Black's allegations, who then informs the viewers that Black is lying through his teeth.
BURZYNKSI: Well, first of all, I don't know why Doctor Black is not telling the truth. We conducted 12 Phase 2 clinical trials under strict FDA supervision. In every one of these trials, we have objective response to treatment. We proved the treatment works, that even can cure incurable brain tumors. The patients can live not only five years tumor free, but another 10 years tumor free, from the types of tumors where chemotherapy can do absolutely nothing. This is well documented. This was reviewed by the top specialists in the United States. But it was never reviewed by Doctor Black. He didn't review even a single case done by us. Why?
I attended one of Burzynski's lectures on gene silencing with methylation groups, and I can tell you the guy is a genius. Contrary to Black's dishonest statement, there is plenty of scientific evidence. To review a few of the 300 scientific articles published in the medical literature showing superior efficacy of antineoplatins compared to chemotherapy and radiation, see this page:
BURZYNSKI: Even the patients whom Doctor Black advised to not come to us, 11 years ago, for incurable brain tumors. Their scanned tumors are gone in two months, it is now 11 years later, they are in perfect health, living here in L.A. And Doctor Black will tell you, you'll be wasting time and money. Why are you doing this, Doctor Black?
Dr Burzynski reveals startling information. For 11 years, Dr Black has advised his patients to shun Burzynski, yet they go to Burzynski's clinic anyway and many are cured of "incurable brain cancer". A remarkable statement.
Bottom line, Burzynski has a novel cancer treatment that works, and Dr Keith Black is spitting bullets of spite. The hatred, loathing, and condescension was palpable.
There was a lot more...to be continued...
