But I think his questions should be answered in public&#8230; Just to set the record straight.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8216;Steve, is Burzynski paying you? A very detailed anecdote along the Burzynski party line with overt appeals to emotion? Sounds totally legitimate to me (sarcasm). How convenient for the Burzynski clinic that this \u201cwoman\u201d shares their opinions AND knows how to express those opinions with all of the polished diction of a Burzynski shill. Oh my, did I just say that? She\u2019s certainly not a shill, no, no, certainly not. Couldn\u2019t be. She\u2019s an anonymous woman who sent you a long, detailed email about her experience with the Burzynski clinic AND who&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1. No, I am not paid by Dr Burzynski. I have no relationship to him or his organization. In fact, my wife died in October without the benefit of his treatments because I could not afford them, and no accommodation could be worked out despite the fact that I had excellent insurance and my wife had been told before we traveled to his clinic that we could work something out.<\/p>\n<p>2. I clearly noted at the top of the posting that you are so upset about that I did not vouch for this person&#8217;s authenticity. But her posting did relate the cost and other details that I often get questions about, and I clearly stated this was the case. To refresh your memory, this is what I said:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">&#8216;This parent\u2019s post answers many of the questions I see coming in\u2026 I do not know her, and do not guarantee what she says is true\u2026 but the facts about costs etc.. are true as far as I know. Hope you find this useful\u2026&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Seems pretty straight forward to me.<\/p>\n<p>3. I believe Dr Burzynski&#8217;s treatments work for some patients. In fact, I personally observed one who had experienced a remission of stage 4 prostate cancer that simply does not occur naturally.<\/p>\n<p>4. I also believe that there are several treatment options detailed in other postings on this site that are at least as effective for some patients, and I urge patients to seriously consider them.<\/p>\n<p>5. I maintain this website with no financial assistance from anywhere. Readers are welcome to believe in what is detailed or not. I strongly believe they will live longer and better if they integrate some of the treatment options I discuss into their therapy regimens.<\/p>\n<p>6. So, now we get to you&#8230; Why the f_ck do you care whether people go to Dr Burzynski or not? Who&#8217;s paying you? I think that&#8217;s a question readers must ask themselves&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I receive a lot of e-mail and comments.
