[DEAN MOUSCHER HAS SINCE BECOME THE VERY ARTICULATE DIRECTOR
OF PATIENT RELATIONS AT THE BURZYNSKI RESEARCH INSTITUTE. HIS FATHER LIVED
ONE YEAR PAST THE PREDICTIONS OF HIS CONVENTIONAL DOCTORS ON BURZYNSKI'S
TREATMENT.--ED]
Dean Mouscher (Compuserve's Cancer Forum,
CIS #70401,1236) spent many months searching for a treatment for his father's
brain cancer. He finally settled on Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski's peptide treatment,
antineoplastons. In November, Dean sent this letter to Texas Attorney General
Dan Morales, who in engaged in efforts threatening to take away Dr. Burzynski's
medical license. In early January, the elder Mouscher's exam again showed
that his tumors had stopped growing and had shrunk a little, and his neurological
functioning was better.
I understand that you are currently engaged in efforts to prevent Dr.
Burzynski in Houston from practicing medicine. I understand and appreciate
your desire to protect the public from fraud and I am certain you would
be interested in hearing any valid information about him.
I investigated Dr. Burzynski for my father, who is suffering from glioblastoma
multiforme, a viciously aggressive brain tumor that rarely responds to radiation
or chemotherapy, and then only briefly. It is basically a death sentence....[I
spoke to] Dr. Patronas, an NCI neuroradiologist with 20 years experience,
whose knowledge of Dr. Burzynski came not from rumors but from a site visit
during which he audited a number of cases. He told me that he believes in
Burzynski's results, that he found the evidence "extremely impressive,"
and that "in 20 years in this business I haven't seen anything that
looks so promising."
But the most impressive evidence...is my father himself. A scan taken
on 11/9/92 shows that the tumors have stopped growing and that there is
some necrosis [tissue death] within two of the three tumors. That is the
opinion not only of Dr. Burzynski, but also of Dr. Michael Gorey, the radiologist
at Evanston Hospital here. And in fact, my father's neurological condition—which
had been declining rapidly—seems little changed since he began taking
Dr. Burzynski's antineoplastons.
I would be happy to send the radiology reports at your request. I know
that many in the medical establishment are hostile to Dr. Burzynski. We
should keep in mind how often the medical establishment has been proven
wrong....Mr. Morales, I am sure that you have only the public's interest
at heart. I urge you to consider the possibility that Dr. Burzynski's treatment
is in fact saving lives.
I urge you to keep in mind the very real possibility that had your efforts
to prevent him from treating patients succeeded, my father might be dead...."
