I dont know if this has ever been posted before or discussed here, but Its the first time of me hearing about it and I thought others might find it interesting as well . If there is any truth to this we are in far worse shape as a country then I ever thought before .
This is just a snippet from the article there is a 35 minute video at the link that is very interesting.

[SIZE=+2]* FDA Suppression[/SIZE]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]Despite the amazing success of antineoplastons, the Food and Drug Administration is trying to suppress them! " [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]Yes, the FDA is trying to suppress antineoplastons," confirms Elias. "There also has been an effort to steal them, with the FDA cooperating with Elan Pharmaceutical Corp. in that effort.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]"Elan now is in deep financial trouble, so I don't believe they are much involved any more. But I have copies of signed internal National Cancer Institute documents in which NCI official Michael Friedman stated as early as 1992 that 'the human brain tumor responses are real' but that it would be easier for the FDA to develop the drug through a large pharmaceutical company."[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]The Weekly Universe has also learned that the NCI now acknowledges Burzynski's research on its website. However, the NCI claims that at this point [May 20, 2002], "no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the effectiveness of treatment with antineoplastons."[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]Elias reports that Friedman went on to become deputy commissioner for operations at the FDA, then acting commissioner during the last two years of Clinton's term. He is now senior VP at Abbott Laboratories (a division of Monsanto Corp.).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]"The FDA is on record as saying it has never, and never will, license a drug to a private entrepreneur," says Elias. "Instead, in 1997, the FDA put Burzynski on criminal trial, charging him with 75 counts of interstate trafficking of an unapproved drug, and with insurance fraud. Burzynski was acquitted on all counts. Since then, the FDA has merely harassed him and his patients.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]But while one arm of the government is trying to stop Burzynski from saving dying patients, another branch is trying to steal Burzynski's work![/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]"NCI patent applications for drugs that precisely duplicate Burzynski's drugs establish that the government knows this drug works!" charges Elias. "It is clear from an NCI response to my FOIA request that the FDA prosecuted Burzynski in hopes of putting him away somewhere where he could not protect his patents!"[/SIZE][/FONT]
