      I will NEVER, EVER donate to the America Cancer Society, NCI, or other Pharma companies
      My jaw dropped after watching this documentary. The evil and length to which the bought-and-paid-for FDA cronies in bed with big Pharma will go to stop, discredit, jail, and steal the IP of Dr. Burzynski made me want to vomit. I'm 100% certain that this is what Copernicus had to deal with when attempting to tell the world that "no, the Sun does NOT revolve around the Earth and I can prove it." He was Polish too, by the way.

      Dr. Burzynski, since the 70s (!!!!!), has effectively found the CURE for some of the most aggressive, incurable, death-sentence cancers out there. Not only that, his treatment is non-toxic as compared to Chemo and others. This is evidenced by patient testimony and peer-reviewed results of diagnosis and post-treatment results. 1000s of patients have gone to Dr. Burzynski and many of them continue to be cured---not just in remission---CURED! I'll be honest that I had not heard of this guy before but after watching the footage---some dating back to the 80s---, Grand Jury hearings, FDA witch-hunting, and States Attorney's repeated harassment, it became patently obvious that Big Pharma and their Federal puppets were going to do anything to stop Dr. Burzynski from getting his drug to market as it would mean the end of Big Pharma's toxic anti-cancer drugs forever. Thank god HE patented it. He is the ONLY individual to have ever patented a drug individually and not as a "Pharma" company.

      You HAVE to watch this documentary at all cost. There is no sensationalism, bias, cute animation. It is all very professionally done with the majority of speaking done by former patients, colleagues, and Dr. Burzynski himself. It is all laid out for the viewer and all evidence appears in refereed medical journals so it is not quack science and can be 100% verified. You will clearly see the evil of the FDA and, in the shadows, big Pharma. Eye opening.

      UPDATE: 12/2/2011: Wow, look at all the negative reviews this movie is now getting. Gee, I wonder if any of these reviewers work for big Pharma / FDA and are bashing it to sway opinions and fake downrating. If so, they will fail, and epically at that. Don't buy into their garbage. It obvious the numbers for positive reviews are skewed.

      ALL of Burzynski's antineoplaston research is sound--after all, why else would Dr. Dvorit Samid steal his work for Élan?--and has been peer reviewed and featured in refereed medical journals. Refereed means people who are even higher up the food chain and smarter than Burzynski vetted his findings AND confirms his results. The very same doctors who diagnosed the aggressive cancers he's cured confirmed the patients were in remission or cured. The proof and truth is right there and you can view and find it for yourself and decide what's what.

      Do you *really* think a person like Burzynski--an MD and PhD--would have been wasting his time for nearly 40 years on research and treatment that would not be going anywhere AND been able to make a living off of it? Get real. There is nothing self-serving or infomercial about this movie. It is a complete overview or Dr. Burzynski from his beginnings to present as well as evidence that he has cured the most incurable cancers out there. Documented fact and truth. Fight the FUD machine.

      UPDATE 3/18/2013: So by now you might know that the second part to this documentary series has been released and contains strong evidence that is evaluated by various oncologists who go along with the *whole* antineoplaton process with their patients. Also, after 27 years of research conducted *independently* of Dr. Burzynski, a group of scientists in Kurume, Japan came tested antineoplastons and their results confirm, irrefutably, that antineoplastons do indeed work and that Burzynski has been right all along. One other famous Polish scientist (Copernicus) was also persecuted for his belief. How did his theory work out for us all?

      It is so blatantly obvious that all the negative reviews are intended to throw you off and dissuade you with opinion rather than fact. Should Burzynski just give his formula for Antineoplaston formulary or treatment away to anyone who wants to test it? I think not. He's got a right to keep his formula secret. It would be like asking Coke or KFC to give the secret formula\recipe. Not going to happen and understandably so. Burzynski may not have the silver bullet to cure *all* cancers but some day he may. It's no surprise the bottom lines of multi-national corporations are being threatened and they will do *anything* to stop the revenue from being diverted away from them.

      The truth will out.
