It is true that this documentary is based on Burzynski's side of the fence. However, he does make compelling arguments, provides multiple important witnesses, and seems to have a substantial backing from his patients. He indicates that cancer treatment is not 100% successful however, he has had significantly better results from his clinical trials then chemotherapy. Most of all, for those who don't realize how the FDA works this documentary is an eye opener. This "quack" has been interviewed Dr. OZ, Oprah, and many others. If he has indeed fooled us layman, I feel it's necessary to make it clear that he has fooled thousands of doctors as well. Regardless of what you believe, this documentary is worth watching.

You have only to read the hysterical reviews above to realise that this film is propaganda, and you'll probably recognise that the propaganda is designed to offset the fact that the subject of the film has failed to carry scientific opinion.In fact, he hasn't even tried to carry scientific opinion. His long list of "publications" is basically resume-padding; there is nothing by him in any of the high impact medical journals, and nobody appears to have reproduced the results he claims (a massive red flag, especially when you consider that tens of thousands of doctors and scientists around the world are working to find cures for cancer).There is no conspiracy to suppress Burzynski. Nobody forced him to run unethical trials, to break the low on interstate trade, nobody forces him to charge tens of thousands of dollars for clinical trials when normally they are free to patients, only he controls the inflated prices of generic drugs in his pharmacy, only he mandates that pharmacy for his patients, only he chooses to run endless trials without publishing the results for others to review and perhaps replicate or improve on.Burzynski is behaving like the worst kind of quack. This propaganda film seeks to gloss over that. It is despicable.

This is a great story in its own right, but the information it reveals is even more important. The story is of an epic battle between the 'powers that be' including the medical establishment and government bureaucrats at every level, versus a small band of committed makers of change, a battle that has lasted decades. The information revealed is an expose of a ruthless and corrupt partnership between government agencies and the cancer industry, devoted solely to protecting their interests. These sociopaths (no lesser word will do) are absolutely uninterested in the welfare of cancer patients; their only interest is their self-esteem and self preservation, a stunning example of organizations that have come to exist only for their own sakes, not for the principles upon which they were founded and chartered. The theme is courage against all odds, continuing to this day, a fight truly worth fighting. Please find or buy a copy of this documentary, for your own sake if not for the sake of the David presently fighting Goliath. You won't be sorry!

There is an important message....This movies goes beyond the idea that there is a new "miracle" cancer treatment.It is about truth.Rather then simply reading reviews, positive or negative, I think this movie warrants your own judgment and critical thinking.It reveals something important...The idea that maybe, just maybe, the FDA and government does not have our back. Maybe the incentive for the FDA is to support those who support them.I would ask you to watch the movie and decide for yourself.If his treatment works or not, is not important to me. What is important is the obvious witch hunt that is happening here.Federally funded and well documented witch hunt...You and I are paying for this man to be put out of business. I am not sure I support that. I would like to see his treatment receive the proper funding and testing it deserves.Cancer is big business and healthy people aren't profitable, that is a fact.Anyway, this movie was a real eye-opener for me. Particularly since so many people in my family have died from cancer. Some of them waaayy too young.I asked myself why.I think I know. Do you?
