Cancer Cure?

When I was in fourth grade, there was a girl in the class next to mine who was diagnosed with cancer. She was blasted with harsh toxic chemicals and radiation that was to rid her small young body of cancer. She ended up losing her leg due to cancer that year, along with her dark brown curly hair and eyebrows. She lived just down the street from me. I was just amazed by her life and persistence and will to live. As the years past, I have lost my grandma to cancer and have known people directly who have been affected by this disease. What if there was a cure? What if the there was something that could cure most cancers without the person being pumped full of toxic chemicals that in it and of themselves could cause more cancer in the body? 

My husband and I like to watch documentaries together. He kind of got me started on watching them. I would sometimes just prefer reading instead, but he lured me into watching this particular one. As I watched this documentary it struck me with questions, doubts, and hope all in the same instant. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Could this really be true? Here's a few cancer statistics: Based on statistics from the American Cancer Society, in 2011 there are expected to be 1.5 million new cases of cancer and more than 1,500 people a day are expected to die of cancer. The National Institutes of Health estimates the overall costs of cancer for 2010 at $263.8 billion! It's difficult to know what the survival rate is of cancer due to the various types of cancer. Based on the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death preceded by heart disease. I am not stating these statistics to be a pessimist but to hammer in my point. All this to say, if so much money is used for cancer research and treatment, why isn't it working?

There is a clinic in Texas called the Burzynski Clinic. As of now, he has to keep his work and treatment solely in Texas. In the 70's Burzynski created a unique and natural cancer treatment. Burzynski's treatment is called antineoplastons. This treatment stops the cancer cells from surviving. The amazing thing about his treatment is that there are not any ill side-effects because it is a natural treatment! 

Based on info. from the documentary, the government tried to steal Burzynski's patent for antineoplastons several times but were unsuccessful. If his treatment got out and was predominately used in cancer treatment centers, what would happen to the multi-billion dollar chemotherapy business? They would most likely go out of business! Isn't that what we want and have prayed for? A cure? It seems like "the cure" is available. Why are we standing by and looking at it like it like it is out of reach? We have to stand up against the money hungry hands and get the word out there!!! There is a better way...a different but not perfect way...but there is A CURE!
