Stanislaw Burzynski , M.D., Ph.D.
born: 1943
physician, medical research
Discoverer of anti-cancer drugs
Born 1943. Known for the discovery of a promising and controversial cancer cure: antineoplastons. His experimental treatments evoke skepticism, but Dr. Burzynski has used antineoplastons for 30 years in the treatment of more than 3,000 patients. Many survivors claim that he saved their lives.
Dr. Burzynski received a M.D. from the Medical Academy in Lublin, Poland, in 1967. In 1970, he came to the United States and worked in the department of anesthesiology at Baylor University in Texas. He received a grant to study the effect of urinary peptides on the growth of cancer cells, and by 1976 isolated dozens of previously unknown peptides.
After a series of tests he discovered that some of them - which he called antineoplastons - attacked cancer cells without harming normal cells. Soon he began using them on patients in his private clinic in Houston, raising eyebrows in the medical community.
A 14-year long legal battle followed between Dr. Burzynski and the FDA. The doctor - and his patients - emerged triumphant in 1997.
Other medical research centers have replicated Dr. Burzynski's work, among them the National Cancer Institute, the Medical College of Georgia, the Imperial College of London and the University of Kurume Medical School in Japan. He continues to save lives in his Houston clinic under the Hippocrates's motto: 'First, do not harm."
