Burzynski, M.D., has given the name "antineoplastons" to substances he claims can "normalize" cancer cells that are constantly being produced within the body. <br /> <br /> He has published many papers stating that antineoplastons extracted from urine or synthesized in his laboratory have proven effective against cancer in laboratory experiments. <br /> <br /> He also claims to have helped many people with cancer get well. <br /> <br /> A 1992 analysis concluded that none of Burzynski's "antineoplastons" has been proven to normalize tumor cells.<br /> <br /> In 1988, Burzynski got a tremendous boost when talk-show hostess Sally Jesse Raphael featured four "miracles," patients of Burzynski, who she said were cancer-free. <br /> <br /> The patients stated that Burzynski had cured them when conventional methods had failed. <br /> <br /> In 1992, "Inside Edition" reported that two of the four patients had died and a third was having a recurrence of her cancer. (The fourth patient had bladder cancer, which has a good prognosis.) <br /> <br /> The widow of one of Raphael's guests stated that her husband and five others from the same city had sought treatment after learning about Burzynski from a television broadcast and that all had died of their disease. <br /> <br /> In 1995, a federal grand jury indicted Burzynski for mail fraud and marketing an unapproved drug. <br /> <br /> The indictment charged that he had billed insurance companies using procedure codes for chemotherapy, even though his treatment was not chemotherapy. <br /> <br /> He was tried in 1997 but not convicted.<br /> <br /> In 1998, the Texas Attorney General secured a consent agreement stating that Burzynski: (a) cannot distribute unapproved drugs in Texas; (b) can distribute "antineoplastons" only to patients enrolled in FDA approved clinical trials, unless the FDA approves his drugs for sale; (c) cannot advertise "antineoplastons" for the treatment of cancer; and (d) on his website and in promotional material and ads must place a disclaimer that the safety and effectiveness of "antineoplastons" have not been established. <br /> <br /> The agreement also called for Burzynski to pay $50,000 to reimburse the Attorney General's office and the Texas Health Department for the cost of their investigation.<br /> <br /> The Cancer Letter subsequently noted that although Burzynski has set up many "clinical trials," they do not conform to usual standards.</div> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MbadRxToNe8" width="300"></iframe><br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ArQGMXYXCLY" width="300"></iframe><br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GrD6DXrB6rw" width="300"></iframe>
