On Meet Stanislaw Burzynski
According to the movie, Burzynski took out patents first. The AMA and the FDA tried to discredit him. Then it was later learned that some of those same parties were involved in filing for patents for the same therapy. The makers of the documentary say that they were attempting to keep Burzinski from suing them for infringement on his original patents by disceditig him as a quack and putting him in jail. It may be conspiracy theory but it does make sense. FYI, I hope you don't have the same pedantic tone in court because juries will see right through you.

@major disaster It's true. I don't know much about patent law, but the movie said that they kept taking him to court and the juries found him innocent, but they were trying to put him in jail so he couldn't fight the patent infringement. Again, I'm no big proponent of Burzynski - just someone who saw a movie that it seems a lot of people are too indignant to see.

@xee Yeah that's the one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1632703/news. I read some sites debunking the movie after I watched it a few months ago and wasn't entirely sold on either side. As I recall the enties that wanted to discredit Burzynski and antineoplastons were part of the FDA and they applied for patents with Elan pharmaceutical. It was their belief that no single person should hold the patent and they only wanted an organization or corporation to have it. It's been a few months since I watched the movie so all the particulars are hazy, but it was interesting. Though if you watch it, people might have a knee-jerk reaction to call you gulible because they believe the FDA would never do anything wrong.

@Flaneur I guess you didn't see the documentary then.

I don't know. The documentary I saw on this guy painted a compelling picture of how the Texas Medical Board and the FDA harrassed him and tried to discredit him so that they could later take out patents on the treatment themselves. I'd employ a pretty aggressive PR team after what he went through.

@Flaneur I looked around but didn't see where it says he produced it or paid for it? Where is that exactly?
