Posted on December 21, 2013 by didymusjudasthomas
David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S. is an academic (i.e.: egg-head, paper-pusher, apparatchik) surgical oncologist specializing in breast surgery and oncologic surgery
Gorski is no H.G. Wells
Wells could, at least, tell a convincing lie; as he did in War of the Worlds
Gorski'd likely #fail as his evil half-brother, "H.G. #Fails", in World War Peed, and probably didn't think his readers would get the double-entendre'
Gorski is more famouser for pie in the sky
He'll never be likened to Samuel Langhorne Clemens, or receive a "Mark Twain Award"
He's an unlicensed Hackademic Quackademic who believes that bad press is good press, any press is good press
Gorski is the "Guy" who felt he was Scroogled by Google, when he and his public relations (P.R.) team; which reside in the hyperthalamus section of his brain, decided on 12/5/2012 to go pure pseudononsense pseudononscience:
Critiquing: Stanislaw Burzynski: On the arrogance of ignorance about cancer and targeted therapies [1]
wherein he quoted
Dr Burzynski:
"I published the review article in a peer-reviewed journal almost 20 years ago on the principles of personalized gene-targeted therapy"
Gorski:
"His only publications from the 1990s had nothing to do with cancer as a "genetic disease" or "personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy" and everything to do with antineoplastons"
"Perhaps Burzynski proposed this "revolutionary"
new idea in a peer-reviewed article that's not indexed in PubMed, but if he did I couldn't find it using Google and Google Scholar"
"I was in graduate school 20 years ago, and was taught back then that cancer was primarily a genetic disease.. "
"There's a term called "oncogene," which describes genes that, when either mutated or too much is made, can result in cancer"
Gorski would have the reader suspend belief, and believe that he's not smarter than a fifth-grader; which is entirely plausible
That he could not do a search on the words:
antineoplastons
oncogenes
and find anything whatsoever
and that he did not have the cranial capacity to access the Burzynski Clinic web-site's Scientific Publications page:
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did NOT have any problem finding it
1997 – Burzynski. S.R. Antineoplastons. oncogenes and cancer. Anti-Aging Medical Therapeutics, Vol.1. Klatz RM.
This, from a doctor, eager to prove to the world, just how smart he is, because of:
12/.5/2011 – "positions I hold at an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center" [2]
12/13/2012 – "positions I hold at an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center" [3]
3/7/2013 – "my last two jobs have been at NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers" [4]
11/2/2012 – "Personally having pored over Burzynski's publications" [5]
2/18/2013 – "I've read many of Burzynski's papers" [6]
5/8/2013 – "I've searched Burzynski's publications" [7]
6/5/2013 – "I do know cancer science" [8]
6/10/2013 – "I do know cancer science" [9]
6/7/2013 – "Unlike Mr. Merola, I am indeed very concerned with getting my facts correct" [10]
The same "Guy" who claimed:
Burzynski never explains which genes are targeted by antineoplastons
A statement which I showed to be incorrect, by pointing out at least 18 different Burzynski scientific publications which did what Gorski claimed they did NOT [11-12]
When Dr. David H. Gorski said:
"Personally having pored over Burzynski's publications"–11/2/2012
"I've read many of Burzynski's papers"–2/18/2013
"I've searched Burzynski's publications"–5/8/2013
exactly what did he mean by "pored over," "read," and "searched" ?
Some Bill Clintonesque definition designed to try and stump anyone who's not smarter than a fifth-grader ?
("It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is,' is")
You don't have to be smarter than a fifth-grader to understand that if Dr. Gorski actually did what he said he did, that he should have been able to conclude without any hint of doubt, that Burzynski explains which genes are targeted by antineoplastons
Where was your head ?
Was your head in Mississippi ?
Was your head like a hole ?
Or was your head so far up your "Show Me State" pal Robert J. (don't call me "Bobby") Bob (I'm not a doctor, I just pretend like I'm one on the otherburzynskipatientgroup (TOBPG) and houstoncancerquack) blatherskite Blatherskitewicz (known liar) Blaskiewicz's AstroTurf campaign, that you couldn't see what you were not doing ?
This is a guy who has been funded by:
a) the Department of Defense (DOD)
b) the NIH (National Institutes of Health)
c) the Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO
d) the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
and this is the kind of supposed "Science-Based Medicine" (SBM) "results" he produces ?
This guy is proclaimed as:
"a prolific essayist and managing editor of Science-Based Medicine, a highly-respected blog that exposes non-scientific research and practices"
A "highly-respected blog" ?
Really ??
REALLY ???
You've gotta be kiddin' me !!!
"For the last ten years, he has been a major voice — as himself and pseudonymously — for science-based medicine"
You mean that "Orac" Hack ?
"Dr Gorski also runs an active research laboratory at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute"
Research ?
Is it similar to his "research" which I exposed here?
And yet, after showcasing such "brillianot" research skilz, Tuesday, 7/30/2013, Dr. Gorski was appointed / named program co-director of Michigan Breast Oncology Quality Initiative (MiBOQI); a state-wide initiative to improve the quality of breast cancer care using evidence-based guidelines [13]
He "will be involved in many aspects of the quality initiative"
Let's hope that one of those aspects is NOT the "research" one
"Dr. Gorski has the breadth and depth of knowledge to effectively lead our very strong Breast Multidisciplinary Team," said Dr. Bepler
"I have every confidence that Dr. Gorski will continue this very high standard of care."
Perhaps Dr. Bepler is out-of-touch with reality when it comes to Gorski's "research" and "standard of care" abilities
I wonder how long it is before his effort at infiltrating evidence-based guidelines with his Science-Based Medicine, raises its ugly hypocritical head ?
During the Holidays, maybe Dr. Gorski will have time to celebrate his promotion with his wife with an evening out, and before he pops the surprise to her about his retirement plans for Castro's Cuba, he can take her by the hands, stare into her eyes with his big brown eyes; they have to be brown, right (?), because he's so full of "it," (?) and tell her these heart-warming words:
Darling, I know, that you know, that what I do brings home the bacon, and so it makes a difference in Michigan
In fact, I wanted to let you know how much of a difference I'm helping to make
1997 thru 2001, African American women breast cancer death rates per 100,000 in Michigan; as reported in the American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures for African Americans, 2005-2006, listed Michigan as the state tied with the 20 most breast cancer cases per 100,000, with 36.2
I'm proud to announce that for the last 2 reporting periods (2011-2014), covering 2003 thru 2009, Michigan is no longer tied with the state with the 20 most cases of breast cancer per 100,000
Michigan is now the state with the 11th most cases of breast cancer in African American women, which rose .5 from 33.8 to 34.3 over the last 2 reporting periods
And that's not all
African American women breast cancer incidences in Michigan, per 100,000, rose from 119.0, 2000 thru 2004 as reported in the 2007-2008 report, up .4 to 119.4, 2006 thru 2010, as reported 2013-2014
Additionally, African American women breast cancer death rates in Michigan, per 100,000, rose from 33.8 for 2003 thru 2007, as reported for 2011-2012, up .5 to 34.3 for 2006 thru 2010, reported 2013-2014
And furthermore, breast cancer incidences in Michigan, per 100,000, were 119.4 for African American women for 2006 thru 2010, reported 2013-2014, and 118.7 for 2006 thru 2010 for white women, reported 2013-2014
So African American women had .7 more breast cancer incidences than white women
And also, the breast cancer death rates in Michigan, per 100,000, was 34.3 for African American women 2006 thru 2010, reported 2013-2014, 11.5 more than the 22.8 for white women for 2006 thru 2010, as reported 2013-2014
And I thought you'd be very pleased to know that the estimated new breast cancer cases in women in Michigan, rose from 6,120 in 2008, to 8,140 in 2013
An increase of 2,010
And, Michigan went from being the state with the 9th most cases of estimated new breast cancer cases, to the 8th
And as if that were not enough great news for you, the estimated breast cancer deaths in women in Michigan, rose from 1,350 in 2004, to an additional 10 more women, 1,360 in 2013
And just like with the estimated new women breast cancer cases, again, Michigan went from being the state with the 9th most cases of estimated breast cancer deaths, to the 8th
And last, but certainly not least, Michigan cancer death rates dropped from 25.8 in 2008, 1.8 to 24.0 in 2013
However, Michigan went from being the state tied with the 18th most cancer cases per 100,000, to the state tied with the 11th most
But don't worry honey
If you're white like me, because you're in Michigan, the breast cancer incidence for you per 100,000, went from 133.9 for 1998 thru 2002, as reported 2005-2006, down 15.2 to 118.7 for 2006 thru 2010, as reported 2013-2014
And, even better, white death rates in Michigan per 100,000, dropped from 27.3 for 1996 thru 2000, as reported 2003-2004, 4.5 to 22.8 for 2006 thru 2010, as reported 2013-2014
And best of all, sweetie, if you do get breast cancer and you're white, you have a 9% better 5-year overall survival rate (69% – whites / 60% – African Americans, and for each stage of diagnosis for most cancer sites)
And I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that life expectancy is lower for African Americans than whites among women (77.2 vs. 80.9 years) (2013-2014)
If that's not job security for me, I don't know what is
The mistake that Gorski made is that he did not take into account that this is not the age of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, etc
In this day and age, people canNOT get away with adopting lying as a part of a strategy, because the NSA is watching, and so are We, the People
Remain calm
Germans subjugated themselves to Hitler, the Soviets, Stalin, Italians, Mussolini, Cubans to Castro, and none of them were worth subjugating oneself to
None of them were worth being put on a pedestal
None of them were greater than you or I
Gorski is NOT the greater good
Gorski has a degree in "B.S." from the University of Michigan
I do not have a "B.S." degree
I'm the one NOT full of "B.S."
Now that sounds like a story ripe for a journalistic investigation
So, I guess that means Bob Blaskiewicz's fave "journalist," Liz Szabo, and USA TODAY, are out of the running for this type of "reporting"
But look on the bright side:
"In his new role, he will work with the Samuel Silver, M.D., Ph.D., who is the MiBOQI program director, as well as assistant dean for Research and professor of Internal Medicine/Hematology-Oncology at the University of Michigan Medical School"
Maybe "the Samuel Silver, M.D., Ph.D." will be GorskGeeks "checks and balances"
Such risible hyperbole would induce fits of laughter in me if it weren't such a complete lie
I'm just glad dad got outta Kellogg country while he could
P.S.: Per Dr. David H. Gorski, anything which might erroneously be perceived as a lie about Burzynski, is NOT anything wrong, per Wayne State University [14]

Letter to Congress – Dear CONGRESSPERSON'S NAME: My name is _(Slim Shady)_ and I am one of your constituents
A few weeks ago, one of "The Skeptics" wrote to you concerning the Houston cancer doctor Stanislaw Burzynski, and requested that you take action and look into how he was able to continue treating cancer patients for decades under the auspices of clinical trials with an unproven treatment he claims to have discovered, patented, manufactures, prescribes, and sells (at his in house pharmacy) at exorbitant (NOT so muchly ?) prices
On Friday, November 15, Dr. Burzynski was the subject of a front-page explosé in the USA Today
Additionally, since before "The Skeptics" last contacted your office, the FDA has released sweet inspection notes into the electronic FOIA reading room (also known as "The Internet") about Stanislaw Burzynski in his role as Principal Investigator (also included)
Burzynski (as investigator, the subject of the inspection) "failed to comply with protocol requirements related to the primary outcome, non-compliance […] for 100% of study subjects reviewed during the inspection."
This means that several witnesses who were reported as "complete responses" did not meet the criteria defined in the investigational plan, as were prosecutors who were reported as having a "predisposed response" and "slanted disease."
Some witnesses admitted failed to meet the inclusion criteria for the study
Even though prosecutors needed to have a physician back home to monitor their progress prior to enrolling in a trial, the FDA found a prosecutor who began receiving treatment before a doctor had been found
United States lead prosecutor, attorney Amy LeCocq attempted to subpoena Dr. Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D.
"When I publicly objected to this harassment I myself was slapped with a subpoena for all my information regarding Dr. Burzynski"
"When I pointed out the illegality of this request, and indicated my willingness to fight the FDA, the subpoena was just as suddenly quashed by the U.S. Attorney" [2]
"Dr. Ralph Moss, an award-winning journalist and author of books about cancer, was subpoenaed and ordered to produce every document in his possession — electronic, magnetic, printed or otherwise — relating to Dr. Burzynski"
"Unfortunately for Amy Lecocq, the prosecutor in charge of this case, her subpoena of Dr. Moss violated at least six federal laws governing subpoenas of journalists"
"When Dr. Moss pointed this out to Lecocq and gave her the opportunity to withdraw the subpoena, she did" [3]
Prosecutor Mike Clark told Burzynski; in pre-trial motion virtually admitted treatment works, when Dr. Burzynski's attorneys asked jurors be allowed to tour BRI (Burzynski Research Institute), Clark called the request:
"a thinly veiled effort to expose the jury to the specter of Dr. Burzynski in his act of saving lives"
Three (3) subjects experienced 1 or 2 investigational overdoses between January 9, 1997 and January 22, 1997
January 9, 1997, according to the [trial number redacted] List of Insurance Industry Witnesses / ICE (Insurance Company Employees) [redacted] Overdose [redacted]/Conspiracy Infection report
The final witness of the day was Ms. Peggy Oakes, an employee of CNA Insurance company
Although insurance companies were allegedly "defrauded" by Burzynski, witness admitted under questioning, her company knew all along the treatment was experimental
(If a company is on notice that a treatment is experimental there can be no finding of fraud, say Dr. Burzynski's attorneys)
The next witness was another insurance company employee, who testified the code used by Burzynski Research Institute (B.R.I.) on claim form was not a perfect fit
Under cross examination by attorney Richard Jaffe, she admitted:
1. such codes do not have to be exact fits
2. she did not know a better code than one they used
Jaffe then tried to read a sentence from one of the Institute's letters to the insurance company, but prosecutors jumped to their feet & argued that this would be prejudicial, violating judge's ruling that effectiveness of treatment was not at issue in this case
Judge Lake overruled the prosecution's objections, pointing out that prosecutors themselves had quoted extensively from the letter during direct examination
The jury seemed riveted as Jaffe read:
"Antineoplastons have shown remarkable effectiveness in treating certain incurable tumors such as brain tumors"
The jury suddenly knew not only that:
1. treatment might actually work
2. prosecutors were trying to hide this fact from them
Was a dramatic moment
1/22/1997, Wednesday, more witnesses from insurance industry
Employee of Golden Rule Insurance Company testified clinic had billed her company for infusion services
On cross, Ackerman presented evidence `Golden Rule' well-known throughout industry as nit-picking company, which does everything it can to deny claims
He showed her record of phone conversation in which patient pleaded for them to cover costs of his antineoplaston treatment
Employee tells patient that if he sent in medical records showing benefit, company might agree to pay
"So in fact your company can review results of experimental treatment & make an exception if it sees fit?" Ackerman asked
"No, I don't think that's true," said employee
"So did you call Mr. Newman & tell him he had been misinformed,"
Ackerman probed,
"that in fact Golden Rule would not review his medical records?"
Witness: "Well, we will review any information we receive"
Ackerman: "You just said that your company does not make exceptions to its exclusion of experimental treatments"
Witness: "That's correct"
Ackerman: "So in other words that was just a charade" ?
"Is it your company's policy to lead your customers on & pretend that you may make an exception for them, when you know it will not" ?
Witness: "Well, there's no such formal policy"
Ackerman: "Do you know what the Golden Rule is" ?
Witness: "Yes"
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"
Ackerman: "That's right"
"No further questions"
Prosecutor, Amy LeCocq, asked witness during re-direct if insurance was not a "service industry"
That gave defense opportunity to point out that the more claims company denies the richer it becomes
Golden Rule had "serviced" its clients in such a manner that its own assets had grown to over $1 billion
It seems that these overdoses are related to the protocol, which requires federal members to administer the depositions via phone, paper (papyrus), playback, or on their own
Further, patience records show that there were many more overdoses that were not included in the List of Insurance Industry Witnesses / SAR (Systematic Antineoplaston Ridicule)/Overdose list
The FDA (Federal Deposition Attorney) reported:
"Your […] deposition measurements initially recorded on worksheets at baseline and on-study treatment […] studies for all study subjects were destroyed and are not available for FDA inspectional review."
This is one of the most damning statements, as without any…not a single baseline measurement…there is no way to determine any actual effect of the systematic antineoplaston ridicule treatment
This means that Burzynski's stripes–which by last account cost $25 ($15 + $10 smuggled in) to begin and $60 MILLION + ($60,000,000 +) to maintain–are unpublishable
Witnesses who had Grade 3 or 4 toxic effects were supposed to be removed from trial
One witness had 3 Grade 3 events followed by 3 Grade 4 events
Another witness had 7 disqualifying toxic events before she was removed from the study
Prosecution did not report all adverse events as required by study protocols
One witness had 12 events of hypocrisy (high insurance), none of which was reported
There are several similar witnesses
For instance one witness had an adverse event in 1993 and the oversight board did not hear about it until 1997
The FDA observed that the deposition consent document did not include a statement of extra costs that might be incurred
Specifically, some deposition consent documents were signed days to weeks before billing agreements, and in a couple of cases no consent form could be found
The "Clark" was unable to account for its stock of the investigational drag, an act that would get any other research Labrador shut down
Wait !
"[A] child had to die from apparent sodium overload" ?
Obviously, it canNOT be "infamous" breast cancer specialist Dr. David H. Gorski, "Orac" a/k/a GorskGeek, who's that "guy" who is NOT a brain cancer specialist, but claimed that a Burzynski patient died from hypernatremia even though he has NOT provided one scintilla of evidence that he has a copy of any autopsy, or been privy to any autopsy of the patient [9]
GorskGeek is that cut below the sludge that wakes up everyday, still secure in the knowledge that Burzynski has his name on a number of phase 2 clinical trial preliminary reports, and GorskGeek still has his on ZERO
Burzynski is the lead author on at least 31 PubMed articles (of 47 (1973-2013), 2013 – most recent) to GorskGeek's pitiful 11 (of 27 (1989-2013), 2003 – most recent)
Despite these findings, when interviewed by USA Today, Burzynski actually said:
GorskiGeek, I guess Burzynski could have been talking about you, or your fave biochemist, Saul Green ?
"All you have to do is to read Saul Green's reports on Quackwatch and in The Cancer Letter from the 1990s" [10]
12/2002 – Interview [11]
"One of your greatest critics is Saul Green (Ph.D. Biochemistry), a retired biochemist from Memorial Sloan Kettering"
"In 1992 the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), published Green's article, "Antineoplastons:"
"An Unproved Cancer Therapy."
"What were his conclusions about Antineoplastons?"
"Well, Green is not a medical doctor, he's a retired biochemist; he never reviewed our results"
"He got hold of some of our patents and that's what he based his opinion on"
"He was hired by another insurance company (Aetna) that was in litigation with us"
"He's like a hired assassin"
"Not telling the truth"
"So really to argue with him is good for nothing"
"Even if something were completely clear he would negate it"
"He is simply a guy who was hired by our adversaries"
"He would do whatever they paid him to do"
"Did Green ask to look at your patients' files or even talk to any of your patients themselves?"
"You responded with an article with 137 references, did JAMA publish even part of it?"
"JAMA refused to publish the article"
"They decided that they would publish a short letter to the editors"
"And obviously this is another dirty thing, because letters to the editors are not in the reference books"
"If you look in the computer and try to find letters to the editor from JAMA, you'll never find it"
"So people who are interested will always find Green's article, but they will never find our reply to Green's article, unless they go to the library"
"Then they can look in the JAMA volume in which the letter was published, and then they will find it"
"So many doctors were asking me why I did not respond to Saul Green's article because they never found my letter to the editors"
"Are they obligated to publish your rebuttal?"
"Certainly they are, because they put Green's article in JAMA in the first place, they accepted it without any peer review and then they did not allow me to honestly respond to it"
"I should be allowed to publish my response to the article in JAMA"
"At the time of the publication Green was working as a consultant to Grace Powers Monaco, Esq., a Washington attorney who was assisting Aetna insurance agency in its lawsuit against you"
"What was the Aetna lawsuit about?"
"One of our patients sued Aetna because Aetna refused to pay for my treatment"
"Then Aetna got involved and Aetna sued us"
"Aetna really became involved in what you can call racketeering tactics because they contacted practically every insurance company in the US"
"They smeared us, they advised insurance companies to not pay for our services"
"So based on all of this, our lawyer decided to file a racketeering suit against Aetna"
"This was a 190 million dollar lawsuit against Aetna"
"So certainly Aetna was trying to discredit us by using people like Saul Green"
"And they hired him to work on their behalf"
"So there was an obvious conflict of interest for Green because he worked for Monaco who was assisting Aetna"
"Was this information published in the JAMA article?"
(Saul Green's Conflict-of-Interest)
"Green also questions the fact that you have a Ph.D."
"At the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Symposium, July 1997, Atlanta, GA., he says in part:"
""Burzynski's claim to a Ph.D. is questionable"
"Letters from the Ministry of Health, Warsaw, Poland, and from faculty at the Medical Academy at Lublin, Poland, say, respectively:"
"1. At the time Burzynski was in school, medical schools did not give a Ph.D."
"2. Burzynski received the D.Msc. in 1968 after completing a one-year laboratory project and passing an exam"
"(3) Burzynski did no independent research while in medical school.""
"He cites the people below as giving him some of this information"
"1. Nizanskowski, R. , Personal communication. Jan 15, 1992"
"3. Bielinski, S., Personal communication, Nov. 22, 1987"
"First of all, do you have a Ph.D.?"
"Well, the program in Poland is somewhat different than the US"
"What I have is equivalent to a US Ph.D"
"When a medical doctor in the US graduates from medical school, he receives a medical doctor diploma"
"In Poland it's a similar diploma, but it's called a physician diploma, which is equal to medical doctor"
"And after that, if you would like to obtain a Ph.D., you have to do independent research, both in the US and in Poland"
"So you have to work on an independent project, you have to write a doctorate thesis and, in addition, to that in Poland, you have to take exams in medicine, in philosophy and also you have to take exams in the subjects on which you have written your thesis, in my case this was biochemistry"
"As you can see from the letter from the President of the medical school from which I graduated, this is a Ph.D."
"Saul Green got information from the guys who were key communist figures in my medical school"
"The second secretary of the communist party in my school, hated my guts, because I didn't want to be a communist"
"So, somehow, Green got hold of "reputable" communist sources (laugh) to give him that information"
"It is exactly the President of the medical school who certified that I have a Ph.D."
"So you are saying that theses people he received his personal communication from, Nizanskowski R, and Bielinski S, are both Communists, is that correct, or they were?"
"Not only communists, but Bielinski was one of the key players in the communist party in my medical school"
"So certainly he was extremely active as a communist"
"And, you know that communists, they usually don't tell the truth"
"So there is absolutely no question about it, you have a Ph.D. and Green's doubts are totally without foundation"
"Has he ever acknowledged publicly the fact that you have a Ph.D.?"
"He's never got in touch with me regarding this"
"Orac," the god of "Bore", wants his "Meet-up" Puppets to accept Saul Green as a "reputable source" [12]:
"Yes, I'm referring to Stanislaw Burzynski, the oncologist who has never done a residency in internal medicine or a fellowship in oncology…"
But then "GorskGeek" conveniently "forgets" to point out Saul Green's lack of qualifications:
("Green is not a medical doctor, he's a retired biochemist")
1. Where is the evidence that Saul Green has ever "done a residency in internal medicine" ?
2. Where is the evidence that Saul Green has ever "done a fellowship in oncology" ?
3. GorskGeek, are you now, or have you ever been, a communist ?
4. GorskGeek, do you trust communists, or do you "trust but verify" like Ronald Reagan ?
5. GorskGeek, are you a hypocrite ?
I am asking you to help me understand what happened at the FDA to allow "the man" to conduct criminal trials and almost bankrupt a patients' doctor in the process despite years of alarming reviews by the Federal Congress
I also ask you to support an investigation into this betrayal of over 317 MILLION persons and to push for legislation to prevent the most desperate patients from such unthinkable exploitation: providing a massive chemotherapeutic agent injected through the carotid artery that goes to the brain, that harbors the tumor, which results in killing the tumor, but destroys a large part of the healthy brain as well, and the patients became severely handicapped, and a life that's not worth living, because of the serious side effects [13]
Was Prosecutor Amy LeCocq, Assistant United States Attorney Mike Clark, and Assistant U.S.Attorney George Tallichet, attempting to:
1. Lose this criminal case for the United States Gubment ?
2. Win this case for the United States Gubment ?
Lawyering for Dummies
1. Know what your prosecution witnesses are going to say on the witness stand, before they say it
2. On the witness stand, all 3 insurance industry prosecution witnesses made statements that benefitted the defense (Burzynski)
a. 1/9/1997 – final witness of the day Ms. Peggy Oakes, employee of CNA Insurance company
b. insurance company employee
c. 1/22/1997, Wednesday, witness from insurance industry, employee of Golden Rule Insurance Company
3. Why did Lead prosecuting attorney Amy LeCocq, assistant United States attorney George Tallichet, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Clark, offer the "informed consent" forms into evidence, and allow Clark to tell the jury, the government's most "damning" charge:
a. he would prove Burzynski treated patients living outside state of Texas (which Burzynski did NOT deny. Why should he ?)
b. Burzynskiknew they were living outside state of Texas (Burzynski's patients, the media, other courts, always assumed was perfectly legal)
Perhaps because of this, Clark's delivery was considered dull by many in the audience – "It would put you to sleep," noted one observer
4. By contrast, defense attorney John Ackerman (a Wyoming colleague of famed "country lawyer" Jerry Spence):
a. showed jury copy of attorney's opinion informing Burzynski it would be legal for him to use new experimental drugs in state of Texas
b. read from 1987 Federal Circuit Court opinion which agreed Burzynski's use of antineoplastons were in fact legal in Texas
c. Repeatedly, defense team turned tables on prosecutor: Over & over, they used introduction of Informed Consent statements to show clinic had in fact taken pains to inform patients that treatment was experimental in nature
5. 1/9/1997 – government called 1st witness, US postal inspector Barbara Ritchey:
a. Ms. Ritchey testified she'd been assigned to investigate Burzynski in 1993 (for alleged "mail fraud") & working on case full-time since 3/1995
b. Throughout 1st 2 weeks of trial, prosecutors repeatedly put up enlarged copies of informed consent forms all patients required to sign
c. Some showed out-of-state addresses
d. point was to impress jury with fact:
1) some patients lived outside of Texas
2) Burzynski knew this
e. approach provided opening for team of defense attorneys to have documents read out loud to jury
f. forms clearly informed patients antineoplastons were experimental in nature & had not been approved by FDA
g. forms were explicit there could be no guarantee antineoplastons would reduce or stabilize their cancers
h. Attorney Ramsey astutely pointed out that one crucial element of "fraud" is deceit
i. Without deceit, there can be no fraud, he said
j. "Isn't that Informed Consent form the absolute, honest golden truth?"
he asked
k. She had to admit it was, thereby undermining government's main contention
6. Ramsey had Ms. Ritchey read from 1987 5th Circuit decision which stated Burzynski could continue to prescribe antineoplastons in state of Texas:
a. Decision stated Judge Gabrielle McDonald retained authority to amend or modify her order
b. "In other words,"
boomed the Texas lawyer,
"the FDA had another remedy, didn't it ?"
"If it felt Dr. B. was violating order by treating out-of-state patients, it could have simply sought clarification, couldn't it have?"
"Then we wouldn't all have to sit here for 4 or 5 or 6 weeks of this trial"
Here too, Ritchey had to agree
7. Mr. Ramsey continued cross examination of Ms. Ritchey:
a. She admitted what had previously been suspected, she & 6 other federal agents had known Burzynski would be out-of-town when they raided his clinic 3/24/1995
b. In dramatic moment, she admitted Informed Consent form was truthful, but took issue with the sentence,
1) "Dr. Burzynski may continue to prescribe antineoplastons in Texas"
She contended that legal decision's actual language read
2) "Dr. Burzynski may continue to treat patients with antineoplastons in Texas"
"Isn't that the same thing? "
asked Ramsey
said Ritchey
"Sometimes, I go to the doctor & he treats me but he doesn't prescribe"
Observers seemed non-plussed by this hair-splitting response
United States postal inspector Barbara Ritchey must have thought she was dealing with people who weren't as smart as a fifth-grader
She contended the legal decision's:
MEANT:
and likened it to:
Perhaps United States postal inspector Barbara Ritchey and Dr. David H. ("Orac" a/k/a GorskGeek) both came from the same Wacky Tobacky Universe
United States postal inspector
does NOT mean:
United States District Court Judge
U.S. postal inspectors do NOT get to change the wording of a legal document signed by a U.S. Federal District Court Judge
At NO time was it indicated that postal inspector Barbara Ritchey was an "expert witness" in the proper usage of the English Language
You do NOT have to be smarter than a 5th-grader to know this
According to Chronicle:
"I think this was a government witch hunt,"
said juror Sharon Wray
"I don't understand why they brought criminal action when they had a civil remedy"
3/3/1997 "I couldn't find any victims,"
Coan added (Houston Chronicle)
Another juror, a 40-year-old engineer named Anthony Batiste, said he favored a guilty verdict
"I couldn't go into my kitchen & make things"
"Why should somebody else be above the law?"
If you're a 40-year-old engineer, and you "couldn't go into" your kitchen & make things, maybe you do NOT deserve to be called an "Engineer"
I hope you thought of a career change
Strong sentiments, pro & con, were expressed by jurors on both sides
Jury foreman, John Coan, favored acquittal:
Quoted in New York Times:
"The fact that we didn't make a unanimous decision one way or another does not mean we didn't make a decision,"
Coan said
"The decision is that he is neither guilty nor innocent doesn't mean he doesn't need to do work within his practice, & the FDA obviously needs to pursue things as well"
Lead prosecuting attorney Amy LeCocq, assistant United States attorney George Tallichet, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Clark, collectively reminded me of "The Three Stooges"
9/8/1993 – Public Corruption Working Group Report – The Sentencing (Amy Lecocq) [29]
Well, at least it looks like Amy Lecocq got herself involved in something she might actually be knowledgeable about !

USA TODAY and "The Skeptics" selling false hope to cancer patients
Irrespective Insolence
Hill ?
Sharon Hill ??
Does anyone know SHARON HILL ???
NoNo ??
NO NEVER MATTER
NOT HARDLY !
If it's "Doubtful News", that's a "Hint and a Half" that it's "Doubtful" it's "News" [1]
In fact, I first received confirmation that what flows down-Hill was definitely, NO doubtfully, NOT news, when she displayed her "propensity" for "density" on #Forbes [2]
"Orac", "The Skeptics™" Dope-on-a-Rope Pope. claimed:
4/19/2013 – "also obsessively read anything posted about Eric Merola or Stanislaw Burzynski on any social media."
5/7/2013 – "If "Orac" was anywhere close to being 75% sure, I would have already reviewed "Doubtful News," which received "free pub" on Forbes
"The Skeptics™" must have got into Liz Szabo's ear, since she subsequently short-sheeted herself by being unable to answer her own question
Maybe Szabo shoulda asked the F.D.A. !!
All that Jerry Mosemak (@jmosemak), Connie Mosemak, and Mosemak Creative (@mosemakcreative) wanted to know was what Twitter thought of their Twerk
Bob Blaskiewicz, fresh off the AstroTurf campaign with "Orac's" orifice, seemed ready to really be headed, right in to rectify on Liz's
Liz, do you really want this anywhere around your backside ?
Bob-B obviously confused Liz Szabo with being a "journalist", when she is a "reporter"
Ms. Szabo, is obviously NOT a "journalist"
Liz Szabo (USA TODAY) – health reporter, medical reporter covering cancer, heart disease, pediatrics, public health, women's health, kids/parenting, …
The question is, how did a "reporter" like Liz Szabo, manage to get her name as the reporter "headlining" "The Skeptics™" "report," instead of Robert Hanashiro ?
Hanashiro had under his belt:
8/3/2011 – Urine test may help predict prostate cancer risk [4]
The best Szabo could cite as support was:
3/19/2008 – "Prostate cancer treatments' sexual, urinary side effects compared" [5]
Exactly how did Liz Szabo "win" that "pissing contest" ?
Even a monkey can report the news:
10/18/2013 – Monkeys 'talk in turns' [6]
If @LizSzabo wanted to do a REAL article on "selling false hope to cancer patients", then USA TODAY should have done an "investigation" on something like THIS:
8/25/2010, Wednesday [7]
Canadian Man Sentenced to 33 Months (2 years 9 months) in Prison for Selling Counterfeit Cancer Drugs Using the Internet
Hazim Gaber, 22, of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada sentenced in Phoenix, Arizona by U.S. District Court Judge James A. Teilborg
Ordered to pay $128,724 ($75,000 fine $53,724 in restitution)
Serve 3 years of supervised release following prison term for selling counterfeit cancer drugs using Internet
6/30/2009 – indicted by federal grand jury in Phoenix, Arizona: 5 counts of wire fraud for selling counterfeit cancer drugs through website DCAdvice.com
7/25/2009 – arrested Frankfurt, Germany
12/18/2009 – extradited to United States
5/2010 – plea hearing: admitted selling what he falsely claimed was experimental cancer drug sodium dichloroacetate, also known as DCA, to at least 65 victims (.10/2007 – 11/2007) in:
1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Belgium
5. the Netherlands
According to plea agreement, charged:
$23.68 for 10 grams of purported DCA
$45.52 for 20 grams
$110.27 for 100 grams
Admitted sent victims white powdery substance later determined through laboratory tests to contain:
1. dextrin
2. dextrose
3. lactose
4. starch
Contained no DCA
According to court documents, along with counterfeit DCA, packages also contained fraudulent certificate of analysis from fictitious laboratory and instructions on how dilute and ingest bogus DCA
DCA is experimental cancer drug not yet approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in United States
According to plea agreement knew that website DCAdvice.com contained false claims it was only legal supplier of DCA and falsely claimed it was associated with University of Alberta
According to information contained in plea agreement, DCA is odorless, colorless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic experimental cancer drug highly sought by cancer patients
Doctor at University of Alberta in Canada published report in early 2007 summarizing results of study, which showed DCA caused regression in several cancers, including:
2. cancerous brain tumors
3. lung cancer
According to information contained in plea agreement, DCA cannot be prescribed by medical doctor in:
1. it is not approved for use in patients with cancer
2. nor is DCA available in pharmacies
As part of plea agreement, agreed to:
1. forfeit
2. cancel
1. website
2. domain name
3. Internet services account
related to fraud scheme
"Hazim Gaber went from selling false hope to cancer patients to now spending 33 months in a U.S. prison,"
said Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of Criminal Division
"Criminals often seek to exploit the most vulnerable of victims – but offering fake, unapproved medication to cancer patients reaches a new low"
"Today's sentence shows that cyber criminals who prey on the seriously ill cannot elude justice simply by committing crimes outside of our borders."
"Gaber used the Internet to victimize people already suffering from the effects of cancer,"
said Dennis K. Burke, U.S. Attorney for District of Arizona
"Now he will go to prison for this bogus business and heartless fraud."
"The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office are committed to pursuing individuals who prey on those who are living with the affects of cancer,"
said Nathan Gray, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Phoenix Division
"Today's sentencing illustrates international law enforcement partners working together to send a message not to use the Internet to perpetuate fraud, especially against those afflicted with a serious medical condition."
Sentencing part of larger department-wide effort led by Department of Justice Task Force on Intellectual Property (IP Task Force)
Attorney General Eric Holder created IP Task Force to combat growing number of:
1. domestic
2. international
3. intellectual property crimes
protect:
of American consumers
safeguard nation's economic security against those who seek to profit illegally from American creativity, innovation and hard work
IP Task Force seeks to strengthen intellectual property rights protection through heightened:
1. civil enforcement
2. criminal enforcement
greater coordination among:
1. federal
3. local
law enforcement partners
increased focus on international enforcement efforts, including reinforcing relationships with key:
1. foreign partners
2. U.S. industry leaders

7/30/2013 – United States to Settle Cancer Research Grant Fraud [8]
Northwestern University to Pay Nearly $3 Million to United States to Settle Cancer Research Grant Fraud Claims
$2.93 million – Northwestern University will pay United States to settle claims of cancer research grant fraud by former researcher and physician at university's Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Center for Cancer in Chicago
Agreed to settlement in federal False Claims Act lawsuit after government investigated claims made by former employee and whistleblower who will receive portion of settlement
Alledgedly allowed researcher, Dr. Charles L. Bennett, to submit false claims under research grants from National Institutes of Health
Settlement covers improper claims Dr. Bennett submitted for reimbursement from federal grants (1/1/2003 – 8/31/2010) for:
4. other expenses
5. professional and consulting services
6. subcontracts
that benefited:
1. Dr. Bennett
Allegations made in civil lawsuit filed under seal 2009 by Melissa Theis, (2007 and 2008) worked as purchasing coordinator in hematology and oncology at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, will receive $498,100 in settlement proceeds
Suit named defendants:
2. Dr. Steven T. Rosen
3. Lurie Cancer Center
4. Northwestern
Alleged defendants submitted false claims to United States when:
2. Dr. Rosen
directed and authorized spending of grant funds on goods and services that did not meet applicable NIH and government grant guidelines
Government contends has certain civil claims against Northwestern arising out of Northwestern's improper submission of claims to NIH for grant expenditures for items that were for personal benefit of:
incurred in connection with grants as to which he was principal investigator
Northwestern, fully cooperated during investigation, did not admit liability as part of settlement
Agreement releases university and all its affiliates and employees, other than Dr. Bennett, from claims made in whistleblower lawsuit
Northwestern agreed to pay settlement within 14 business days
Agreement covers allegations university submitted false claims to NIH for costs Dr. Bennett incurred on grant-funded research projects involving:
1. adverse drug-events
2. blood disorder known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
3. multiple myeloma drugs
4. quality of care for cancer patients
Dr. Bennett allegedly billed federal grants for:
1. family trips
2. meals
1. himself
and "consulting fees" for unqualified:
2. family members
1. brother
2. cousin
At Dr. Bennett's request, Northwestern allegedly improperly subcontracted with various universities for services that were paid for by NIH grants
Allegations investigated by:
1. Federal Bureau of Investigation
2. National Institutes of Health
3. U.S. Attorney's Office
4. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General
"Allowing researchers to use federal grant money to pay for personal travel, hotels, and meals, and to hire unqualified friends and relatives as 'consultants' violates the public's trust,"
said Gary S. Shapiro, United States Attorney for Northern District of Illinois
"This settlement, combined with the willingness of insiders to report fraud, should help deter such misconduct, but when it doesn't, federal grant recipients who allow the system to be manipulated should know that we will aggressively pursue all available legal remedies,"
he added
"The mismanagement or improper expenditure of grant funds is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,"
said Lamont Pugh III, Special Agent-in-Charge of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General – Chicago Region

$1.5 Million – Emory University False Claims Act Investigation
University Overbilled Medicare and Medicaid for Patients Enrolled in Clinical Trial Research at Emory's Winship Cancer Institute
Settlement with Emory University
$1.5 million – agreed to pay to settle claims it violated False Claims Act by billing:
1. Medicaid
2. Medicare
for clinical trial services not permitted by:
1. Medicaid rules
2. Medicare rules
Providers generally not permitted to bill Medicare for medical care and services for which clinical trial sponsor agreed to pay
2. State of Georgia
alleged Emory University billed:
for services clinical trial sponsor agreed to pay
(and, in some cases, actually did pay, thereby resulting in Emory's being paid twice for the same service)
Investigation of Emory University revealed institution's clinical trial false billing and led to settlement
Civil settlement resolves lawsuit filed by Elizabeth Elliot under qui tam, whistleblower, provisions of False Claims Act
Ms. Elliot will receive share of settlement payment that resolves qui tam suit
United States Attorney's Office for Northern District of Georgia
Attorney General Sam Olens announced reached settlement
"This settlement demonstrates our office's continued commitment to protect crucial Medicare and Medicaid dollars,"
said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates
"Treatment of cancer is expensive, and Medicare and Medicaid dollars should be reserved for patients who need services that properly may be billed to these programs."
"Our investigation of Emory University revealed the institution's clinical trial false billing and led to today's settlement,"
said Derrick L. Jackson, Special Agent in Charge of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General for Atlanta region
"Protecting Medicare — and taxpayer dollars — remains a top priority."
Mark F. Giuliano, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office, stated:
"Federal funds, to include those of Medicare and Medicaid, are limited and are to be used as intended"
"The FBI will continue to play a role in enforcing federal law that governs the use of these much needed funds."
Attorney General Sam Olens stated,
"Cancer research is paramount to saving and extending lives"
"However, strict rules govern the use of Georgia Medicaid dollars"
"My office takes seriously its obligation to ensure that these resources are used properly."
Case investigated by:
2. Georgia Medicaid Fraud Control Unit
3. United States Attorney's Office for Northern District of Georgia
4. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office of Inspector General
Civil settlement reached by Assistant United States Attorney Darcy F. Coty

Emory Settlement Agreement
5/24/1993 – Court Testimony Of Nicholas Patronas, MD:
Pg. 122
"We have done– we have an experimental protocol at the NIH where we inject a chemotherapeutic agent through the carotid artery, the artery that goes to the brain, and we have three survivals with this technique, by providing massive amounts of chemotherapeutic drugs to the brain that harbors the tumor"
"And we destroy the tumor, but we destroy a large part of the brain as well, and the patients became severely handicapped, and a life that's not worth living"
"And so I have three cases with this particular experimental protocol which resulted in killing the tumor, but a large part of the healthy brain as well"
"So overall the protocol was abandoned and is not any more in effect because of the serious side effects that we witnessed"

Sharon Hill, you're just a footnote to this article, because all you did was "cut-and-paste", and try to pass off David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS and Bob Blaskiewicz as "reliable sources"
You've gotta be kidding me !!!
P.S. A fifth-grader can "cut-and-paste"
Are you smarter than a 5th-grader ?

Critiquing: Eric Merola and Stanislaw Burzynski respond to the FDA findings and the USA TODAY story. Hilarity ensues
GorskiGeek starts off his soapbox stump speech:
"I was very pleased last Friday, very pleased indeed"
Of course he was
After all, it was as if USA TODAY was quoting directly from "The Skeptics™" fave Fahrvergnügen pharyngula and GorskGeeks's jacked July jabberwocky at "The Amazing Meeting" 2013 (TAM 2013 #TAM2013) Twitter Twaddle-fest
Given the normal subject matter of this blog, in which I face a seemingly unrelenting infiltration of pseudononsense pseudononscience and hackery into even the most hallowed halls of hacademic medicine, against which I seem to be fighting a mostly uphill battle, having an opportunity to see such an excellent non-deconstruction of science and medicine in a large bad mainstream news outlet like USA TODAY, GONE TOMORROW is rare and ungratifying
GorskGeek gambits:
"As you might recall, USA TODAY reporter Liz Szabo capped off a months-long investigation of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski and his Burzynski Clinic with an excellent (and surprisingly long and detailed) report, complete with sidebars explaining why cancer experts don't think that Burzysnki's anecdotes are compelling evidence that his treatment, antineoplastons, has significant anticancer activity and a human interest story about patients whom Burzynski took to the cleaners"
My question ?
GorskGeek, how do you know it was a:
"months-long investigation" ?
The article does NOT indicate HOW LONG the USA TODAY "investigation" took
From this, I can only conclude, as I did after 1st reading the article, that based on the comments of Dr. David H. Gorski "Orac", that there must have been collusion between "The Skeptics™" and USA TODAY
Most of this, of course, is no news to my readers, as I've been writing about Dr. Burzynski on a fairly regular basis for over 8 months now
GorskGeek goofs:
"It's just amazing to see it all boiled down into three articles and ten short videos in the way that Szabo and USA TODAY did, to be read by millions, instead of the thousands who read this blog"
Thousands read his blog ?
Does he mean over the 2 year period he's been writing about Burzynski ?
GorskGeek Inspector Gadgets:
"Szabo also found out who the child was who died of hypernatremia due to antineoplastons in June 2012, a death that precipitated the partial clinical hold on Burzynski's bogus clinical trials, about which both Liz Szabo and I have quoted Burzynski's own lawyer, Richard Jaffe, from his memoir, first about Burzynski's "wastebasket" trial, CAN-1"
GorskGeek and USA TODAY both hashtag Failed to point out that a boy, the same age as Josia Cotto, survived a serum sodium (Na+) level of 234 mEq/L
If GorskGeek actually knew how to do real "science-based medicine" research, and if Liz Szabo and Jerry Mosemak had really actually done a "months-long investigation", maybe USA TODAY and "Orac" could have had enough time to have figured the above out, as well as the clinical trial Burzynski's attorney, Rick Jaffe, was referring to, was the CAN-1, which even you did NOT display any knowledge of in the July
TAMmany Twaddle [3], and your 11/15/2013 article [4]
Naturally, upon reading Liz Szabo's " story," I wondered how long it would be before there would be a response from GorskGeek or his minions
Both responses contain the same sorts of tropes, misinformation, and pseudononscience that I've come to expect from GorskGeek [1-2+4]
USA TODAY is biased and in the pocket of "The Skeptics™"
It was a "Shite Muslim Militia" piece
GorskGeek dreamsicles:
"I've deconstructed these, and many more, of Merola's nonsense over the last two years"
"Odd how @BurzynskiMovie pretends I haven't deconstructed his "evidence" in depth before"?
GorskGeek is so much a monumental myopic Mythomaniac
GorskGeek all you did was "cherry-pick" what you wanted to blather about, and selectively ignored everything else
What actually surprised me was the viscousness of the counterhackattack
For example, in counterhackattacking Eric Merola's letter to Liz Szabo, GorskGeek tries unsuccessfully to claim that Merola actually hopes that her child will get cancer, so that Burzynski supporters can gloat about it and Szabo will have to apologize to her children for her "perfidy" (in GorskGeek's eyes, at least):
GorskGeek gesticulates:
"He denies that he hopes Szabo's children will develop brain cancer, but then gloats gleefully over the possibility that she would have to face them after having—again in his mind—"helped to destroy the only thing that could have helped" them"
In the dictionary, under the definition of "spin bowel movement (SBM)," there should be a picture of "Dr." (and I use that term very "loosely") David Gorski
GorskGeek would have fit in holistically as the propagandist for Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.
Then, just when I thought GorskGeek couldn't go any lower, he does, this time in his longer response on his blog
"Eric Merola and Stanislaw Burzynski respond to the FDA findings and the USA TODAY story. Hilarity ensues"
Obviously, to "Orac" asking GorskGeek to follow normal rules regulating medical ethics and human subject protections in critical trolls' blog trials is exactly like murdering millions of people's brain cells, carrying out horrible medical experimentation on common sense and sensibility, making untold numbers of Africans, slaves to his stupendousmess, and harassing, gratuitously, families of soldiers "killed" by his word salad battle
Didn't anyone ever teach GorskGeek that you need to build up to that sort of climax ?
Of course, the big difference between Hitler's propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, unfortunately, is that compared to "Orac," he had talent, and David GorskGeek does NOT
GorskGeek is a hack and is only funny by accident because he has no filters that tell him when he's going way under the top
To him, Burzynski is an infidel
I do not share his belief, but, even worse, I have the temerity to criticize his god "Orac," or, to mix metaphors shamelessly, to point out that GorskGeek has no clothes
Since I've dealt with so many of the tropes included in GorskGeek's not-so-little rant, I hardly see the need to repeat myself
However, as a breast cancer surgeon's skeptic, I find one of GorskGeek's lies to be as despicable, or perhaps more so, than his ad hominem comparisons
GorskGeek, the Hitler of hipocracy, came up with this hit parade of paranoia and "conspiracy theory":
"I don't know what sort of attacks on the UK bloggers who produce the bulk of the skeptical blog posts about Burzynski are coming in Burzynski II, but when it comes to me no doubt Merola is referring to this bit of yellow journalism in 2010 from an antivaccine propagandist named Jake Crosby, entitled David Gorski's Financial Pharma Ties: What He Didn't Tell You" [5]
GorskGeek then ad hocs ad nauseum about ad hominem fallacy
"In this fallacy, rather than addressing the actual evidence and science that demonstrate their favorite brand of woo to be nothing more than fairy dust, the idea is to preemptively attack and discredit the person"
"The ad hominem is not just insults or concluding that someone is ignorant because, well, they say ignorant things and make stupid arguments (in which case calling someone stupid or ignorant might just be drawing a valid, albeit impolitic, conclusion from observations of that person's behavior), but rather arguing or insinuating that you shouldn't accept someone's arguments not because their arguments are weak but because they have this personal characteristic or that or belong to this group or that" [6]
GorskGeek, the huckster of hackery laments that "The Skeptics™" are subject to character assassination, NOT because of their "science-based medicine", but, alas, for being biased, lying, cowards
So, he must justify that as to why he then ad hominems those who he harangues:
"In Burzynski The Movie, Dr. Whitaker has his nose embedded so far up Dr. Burzynski's rectum that Dr. Burzynski wouldn't need a colonoscopy if Merola just strapped a light to Dr. Whitaker's face" [7]
"In the meantime, I realized that seeing Josh Duhamel stick his proboscis firmly up Burzynski's posterior was not enough to explain the disturbance that I was feeling" [8]
GorskiGeek seems to have an unhealthy infatuation with ASS
My suppositorsition is that GorskiGeek, the highfalutin' He-Man of hypocrisy, does wax on, wax off, waxes phonetic about ASS, because he is the apex of ASSmuchness
In essence, he denies the toxicity of water in terms I've never seen anyone try to downplay before:
Water… is toxic?
This was perhaps the most stunningly malicious use of emotion to manipulate the reader in any of the propaganda pieces against H2O in history
"Josia, as readers of Liz Szabo's report will know, was the six year old boy with an inoperable brain tumor who died of hypernatremia (elevated sodium levels in the blood) as a result of Burzynski's therapy"
GorskGeek gassticulates:
"As I pointed out last Friday and Szabo reported in her story, before his death Josia's serum sodium was measured at 205 mEq/L, way above the normal range of 136-145 mEq/L and well into the lethal range"
"As I pointed out then, I've never seen a sodium level anywhere near that high"
"During my residency, the highest I recall ever seeing was maybe around 180 mEq/L"
As I already pointed out previously in this article:
GorskGeek claims that Josia died of hypernatremia (elevated sodium levels in the blood) as a result of Burzynski's therapy
GorskGeek does NOT provide ANY citation(s), reference(s), and / or link(s) in support of his claim, and does NOT provide a copy of the autopsy
GorskGeek's brain cells must be "sleeping in excess", hence the symptoms of lethargy progressing ignorance of adverse events which approach critical black hole levels
Of course, none of this is new information
GorskGeek hacks:
"I also note that one of Burzynski's most famous patients, Hannah Bradley, who with her partner Pete Cohen proclaims herself cured of her brain cancer, thanks to Burzynski, suffered some pretty serious toxicities from antineoplastons herself, including high fevers to 103.9° F, shaking chills, and severe rashes"
"Pete even documented how badly Hannah reacted to antineoplastons in his YouTube documentary Hannah's Anecdote"
GorskGeek flummoxes in that he erred to elucidate that the "rash" which Hannah
experienced, even entailed epilepsy anti-seizure medication [4]
GorskGeek gambols the gabroni gambit by giving nothing but glib reasons for his genetically challenged gestation of Hannah's vlogs after gears up for Great Britain
Yes, GorskGeek is gabless about Hannah's progress in the G.B. as a germinating gerbil, as far as flu or fever, perhaps fearing his failure to feature any fact-checking facilitation a fanboy of Fanectdotes should fittingly fictionalize
The rest of GorskGeek's rant reads like a greatest hits compilation from cancer hacks
You get the picture
That's the whack-n-hack counterhackfensive trying to shore up Liz Szabo's sorry article
GorskGeek blowshard and long about the FDA Form 483′s findings, but does NOT heed his massive failure to be persuaded that:
Who would doubt that if GorskGeek were to blog about Burzynski's 1997 criminal trial, that he would NOT list each and every one of the 34 counts of mail fraud, 40 counts of violating Food and Drug Administration regulations, and the 1 contempt-of-court charge; all "allegations", which netted the U.S. Gubment absolutely NOTHING ? [9]
GorskGeek idolizes the Burzynski Research Institute (BRI) IRB, because of Burzynski's scientific publications, which indicate:
2003 – Membership of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [10]
3/2004 – Membership of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [10]
2004 – Membership of Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in compliance with FDA guidelines [10]
GorskGeek then does a piss-poor "slight of hand job", jerking the reader off about Pseudoprogression, pseudoresponse, so-called pseudoprogression, and "One phenomena, termed Pseudo-Progression (psPD)"
GorskGeek falls flat face first for failing to show this phenomenon has factually happened [11]
GorskiGeek, looks like back to the drawerin' board for you !
