The Burzynski Clinic is a medical clinic in Texas, United States founded in 1976 and offering unproven cancer treatment. It is best known for the controversial "antineoplaston therapy", a chemotherapy using compounds it calls antineoplastons, devised by the clinic's founder Stanislaw Burzynski in the 1970s. The clinic has been the focus of criticism primarily due to the way its antineoplaston therapy is promoted, the costs for cancer patients participating in "trials" of antineoplastons, problems with the way these trials are run, and legal cases brought as a result of the sale of the therapy without state board approval. Additionally, there is no accepted scientific evidence of clinical efficacy of antineoplaston combinations for various diseases. == Stanislaw Burzynski == Burzynski was born on January 23, 1943 in Lublin, Poland. On graduating with Distinction at age 24 from the Medical Academy in Lublin, he had published fourteen papers. The following year he earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry.〔Smith, p. 136 "he earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry with a thesis entitled 'Investigations on amino acids and peptides in blood serum of healthy people and patients with chronic renal insufficiency'."〕 Burzynski moved to the United States in 1970, working at Baylor College until 1977, when he established the Burzynski Research Laboratory where he administered antineoplaston therapy, initially to 21 patients but then more widely as "experimental" treatment. This opened him up to "charges of unethical conduct and to the suspicion he had become a merchant of false hope", which led to several instances of media controversy.〔 Burzynski founded the Burzynski Research Institute in 1984.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.burzynskiresearch.com )〕 His scientific papers have caused academic controversy, with reviewers disputing the design of the trials and scientific validity of the published results.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burzynski Clinic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
