The medicine is called antineoplastons, and I think it is derived from a component of urine. I kwew one of his patients personally. The patient was Ron Wolin, whose name may ring a bell with people involved in the anti-Vietnam war movement. I don't recall the type of cancer he had. Ron was told by doctors at Memorial Hospital-Sloan Kettering Institute in NYC that he was in hopeless condition and that there was no sense treating him. One of the doctors there suggested he try Dr. B. Ron became a patient of Dr. B's, was put on antineoplastons, and after a few years improved to the point of being able to work again. Unfortunately the treatment was not sufficient to prevent a relapse, from which he died, but it did produce great improvements and prolong his life by several years. Dr. B. is not about to be shut down. He is now conducting clinical trials. There has been great controversy regrading his credentials and methods. From the point of view of his patients, he has been "persecuted" because he is perceived as a threat to the vested interests of the medical "establishment" (surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy).
