Check out www.burzynskimovie.com and you can see a modern day example of what Dr. Lane endured, but Dr. Burzynski eventually WON!
Diane Very wise, PT! The Feds have a long and disreputable history regarding "trials" of alternative health strategies and materials. In short, they cheat. A perfect example was Dr. Wm. Lane, who wrote the book "Sharks Don't Get Cancer" and who sold his specially purified shark cartilage called Benefin with the proud claim (and proof, which he had to go to Cuban hospitals to prove, publicized on the TV show, 60 Minutes) that it stopped cancer by antiangiogenesis, basically drying up the tumors' blood supply. He had a thriving forum like this one, which was read by many and postings were often sheer gratitude, other times less so, as you would expect. I was an avid reader of his forum in the nineties, being a cancer patient at that time.
