I don’t believe they’re saying it’s a cure all for every type of cancer nor that it will always be effective. Only that in some cases, some percentage of the time it will be. That is obviously a huge, huge win. Given the relatively minor side effects compared to chemo/radiation it could disrupt the industry.
I’m naturally skeptical of this kind of thing but I leave the door open to the possibility. I wouldn’t call someone sheeple (that’s a silly thing to do) the same as I would expect a reasonable person to not always believe all narratives that are spun to them.
This is the info from cancer.gov

Most of the testing info comes from the developer. I wouldn’t put that on him, he obviously wants the testing done so it can get FDA approval. There seems to be some success from the treatment. In the 10-25% range, however given the conditions of the trials you cannot entirely associate the resolution of the tumors with the other treatments were used in conjunction in those cases.
The cases that are shown off in the film seem compelling. Chemo and radiation failed and the antineoplastons treatment provided by Dr. Burzynski cured the tumor(s).
If you were in the position where modern conventional medicine cannot cure you but you have a chance, why not take it? It seems like that’s the situation many of his patients come from. Or the radiation is going to be so damaging that it’s not worth it.
I’m not sure that this and pot/essential oils should be conflated. It makes sense those could help with symptom relief but not much more.
