First Minority Cancer Month Highlights Disparities
Lawmakers and health care advocates gathered today to kick off the state's first annual Texas Minority Cancer Awareness Month — designated in the last legislative session to bring awareness to the racial disparities in cancer survival rates.
"Cancer does not discriminate, and is not just a minority problem," said Lovell Jones, director of the Center for Health Equity and Evaluation Research at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Department of State Health Services Commissioner David Lakey presented statistics showing that cancer mortality rates are not consistent across racial and ethnic groups in Texas. While breast cancer diagnosis is ...

I have lost the two most important people in my life from emphysema (from smoking!) and I am about to lose my sister to the same. I am sorry for those of you who are addicted to nicotine but I am savingthe bulk of my sympathy for your end of life caregivers. While you struggle to breathe/die, someone who loves you has to watch you suffer, not knowing what to pray for; that you go ahead and die now and end your suffering or, can i please have just one more miracle, please? Smokers: please don't be so selfish!

The Texas Medical Board vs. Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, will take place on April 11, 2012. Fellow Texans, do not let the FDA and The Texas Attorney General Greg continue the killing of cancer patients in Texas.
Fellow Americans, for years we have witness collusion-conspiracy, Government crony-ism, betrayal and complete disregard for honesty, integrity and principles; from this corrupt government. We the people have enough of this greedy, corrupt Government that is engage in the fabrication of lies and conspiracy; to protect corporations and especial interest; for the love of money and power.
The US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), The Texas State Board of Medical Examiners and the Texas Attorney General conspiracy to destroy and jail, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski; is the worse evidence of Government corruption that deprive the American people from obtain the best possible treatment for the cure of cancer. We as most Americans, do not become aware or do not learn what was going on, we don't realize that our Government, become corrupt criminals that conspire to protect corporations and organizations that maintain them in office. The killing of cancer patients continue and is getting worse because the mainstream news media fell to inform the American people of the actions of collusion- conspiracy, that this corrupt government establishment practice, to control the market in this United states to protect and benefit their corporate and especial interest cronies .
The Texas Medical Board vs. Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, will take place on April 11, 2012. We the people, of this United States must stop the criminals that run the FDA, The Texas attorney General, The Texas Medical Board, The American Cancer Society, the pharmaceutical industry, and the National Cancer Institute. Please join us in the fight to cure cancer, by taking action! Please write letters, send faxes, make phone calls, and send emails relentlessly to all of the Texas representatives: Texas Governor Rick Perry, the U.S. Congressmen and Senators; this is a matter that will defend the peoples rights to choose what doctor or treatment they want to cure their illness.
Fellow Americans, this is the truth about Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. In the 1970’s, a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski made a discovery that threatened to change the face of cancer treatment forever. His non-toxic gene-targeted cancer medicine could have helped save millions of lives over the last two decades had his discovery not been criminally suppressed by the US government, as his therapy, called “antineoplastons,” have been shown to effectively help cure some of the most “incurable” forms of terminal cancer.
Dr. Burzynski developed a cancer treatment that surpassed all other treatments on the market, and the FDA, the pharmaceutical industry, and the National Cancer Institute all knew it. They also knew he was the sole owner of the patents for this therapy, and these two facts combined, threatened the entire paradigm of the cancer industry.
The cancer paradigm is based on very expensive machines and toxic drugs. There's an enormous amount of money to be made in this paradigm, and Dr. Burzynski single-handedly threatened to overturn it.
So they tried to copy his invention using a single non-patented ingredient. It failed. The next step was to steal the whole thing right from under him. There was just one problem. They knew they couldn't use the stolen patents as long as Dr. Burzynski walked free and had the ability to defend his rights to them... So they fabricated 75 fraudulent charges to put him in jail for the rest of his life.
Fortunately for us, they failed in that too. The facts of this case challenge the mind of any sane and rational person, but make no mistake about it: These things did happen, and Dr. Burzynski has all the documentation to back it up.
Fellow Americans, please take action today. Stand for justice and all the cancer patients of the world. correct this miscarriage of justice

Note: When Antineoplastons are approved for public use, it will allow a single scientist to hold an exclusive right to manufacture and sell these medicines on the open market—leaving the pharmaceutical industry absent in profiting from the most effective gene-targeted cancer treatment the world has ever seen.
Stanislaw R. Burzynski, MD, PhD, is an internationally recognized physician and scientist who has devoted his whole life to cancer research. Burzynski Clinic has been treating and cured thousands of cancer patients from all over the world for over 40 years.
