Burzynski :The Dangerous Business of Curing Cancer

The documentry Burzynski is a powerful and sometimes painful look at the corruption that exists within medical legislation. 

Stanislaw Burzynski is a Polish immigrant who holds a PHD in biochemistry that he received at a very early age. In the 70's he began to study Cancer treatment, and stumbled on a treatment so effective, it might possibly render chemotherapy and radiation treatments obsolete.

That was of course if that was what the FDA wanted. 

When Burzyinski patented a compound medicine, antineoplastons, he unknowingly signed himself up for a war with the evil empires of the FDA and Pharma, a war that would span four long decades.

The film spends the first half hour breaking down how his treatment works, not only proving that it is successful with MRI charts and testimonies from cancer survivors, but also explaining in simple English how the effects are achieved.

The rest of the movie is filled with tearful testimonies in supreme courts and in several other frivolous attempts to not only strip Burzynski of his medical practice, but acts of intimidation in the forms of: raids, threats, and regulation.

It became very clear to me watching this film that the American Cancer Institute, and the FDA, have no interest in curing cancer at all. A cure to cancer would unravel their trillion dollar industry, put thousands of oncologists making six-figure incomes a year out of work, and cripple the pharmaceutical companies that monopolize on the suffering and dread of their "patients".


Burzynski is an infuriating glimpse into the nature of the medical beast. A very important film for anyone who has known someone who has experienced cancer, or have themselves.
