這是一個非主流的診所，在德州，很特別，他們是採用尿里提取出來的一種蛋白質治療腫瘤，但被主流認為是騙子，還打過好多官司，但的確有不少已被各大醫院宣判死刑的患者被救活了。FDA也不能否定它，也不能肯定它，現在是限制它，只能醫治用其他方法都無效的晚期病人

This weekend, we got the information about the phase II or III clinic trial of antineoplastons(ANP) therapy for Brain Stem Glioma in Burzynski Clinic of Texas Houston and got really excited for Angela: http://www.burzynskiclinic.com/ph/clinical-trials.html. I even called them this morning and they sent us the detailed instruction on how to begin a screening to see if Angela is ok for the trial.



Then, I found out this Clinic and this ANP therapy have been in long run legal and medical controversies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Burzy%C5%84ski



It would be Angela parents decision on whether to explore this, because the trial is not free, it’s expensive and wouldn’t be covered by insurance, and it requires to stop the traditional treatment for a while before the treatment. However, if some of your online pals have time/interests/expertise to dig this dipper and speak out your impression, it might be helpful for them to make the decision. Most of the mainstream doctors are considering this Alternative Therapy as fake, but there also are many positive testimonies. In September 2004, the FDA even granted orphan drug designation for ANP A10 and AS2-1 for the treatment of brainstem glioma. Does this sounds like fake? You don’t have to take any responsibility – Angela’s parents will make the decision. They'd just like to hear more.

I'm totally confused.
