Hi There,
I live in Texas and wish I could say Dr. Burzinski's clinic was affordable to everyone but it is not. It is not covered by insurance and from what I have discovered talking to other patients the cost can range upwards of $8000 a month and the cancer can return if treatment is stopped. This is extremely disheartening because this doctor has been through a lot trying to get his treatments to the public and has just started FDA clinical phase two trials. Nonetheless, if his treatment is only affordable to the elite then how does that help all people? He specializes in brain cancer too and his treatment has not revealed itself to be near as effective with several other forms of cancer.
I have met Dr. Hudla Clark, and Dr. Donsbach who both have clinics in Mexico. They are incredible healers. I have also talked with several of their former patients. Indeed they have helped more people then can be counted heal from their cancer. I am sure when you do a search on them you will find many articles from the Quackwatchers group. To counteract that information just do a search on Tim Bolen who has repeatedly revealed in court how that group of Quackwatchers was paid off by the mainstream medical entities to discredit alternative doctors and try to destroy them.
Unfortunately many people opt for natural alternatives last and wait until they are at deaths door to go for alternatives when they should have opted for them first. As was the case in Corretta Scott King when she landed at the clinic of Dr. Donsbach last year. She ultimately died and they did not treat her with anything yet. She was too far gone and all they could do was make her comfortable. The media ran with false accusations and said his alternative treatments killed her. Her own family went public to reveal the truth to protect Dr. Donsbach.
Still his clinic was raided and shut down. He fought back and won but who knows how many of his patients suffered while getting through it? We can not always believe everything we read in initial reports.The Mainstream media is seriously dependent upon billions in advertising dollars from drug companies. They continue to reveal they will not bite the hand that feeds them and just stick with "reporting" the news verses trying to "create" it. Do your homework because the truth can always be found out there if we look hard enough.
Still these doctors at these Mexico clinics have managed to save late stage cancer patients that have been sent home to die by mainstream doctors. The cost ranges from $8000 to $15,000 for a 6 week in-patient program. Nonetheless, many people have returned home cancer free only to have it return because they return to a toxic diet or toxic environmental exposures that caused their cancer in the first place.
If the patient is not willing to address root causes of known cancer exposures in diet, and environment then they are not going to be cancer free regardless of treatment or therapies.
What cancer patients need in the US is true freedom to choose the type of healthcare they want. Many are forced into choices because medicare and insurance will only pay for cancer treatments that ahve been no more efefctive then when they started. It only makes sense that we will never be able to heal a natural biological body with chemicals that destroy the immune system and damage major organs. Nonetheless, that is all they will pay for. So we do need to contact our legislators to demand we have all our healing choices covered for payment and not just the choices that mainstream can patent for a huge profit on our suffering.
As it sits we continue to lose great natural healers every week who are going out of this country so they are free to use what they know will heal patients from many serious chronic health afflicitons. To me that is a very sad testament to the state of ur healthcare system. For any treatment to be accepted by the FDA it will cost into the millions. In the case of natural herbs they cannot be patented unless they are broken down and chemically changed. Therefore drug companies are never going to invest millions into a choice that they know they cannot have a monopoly on to gain a huge profit from the cost of the clinical trials alone.
Only an educated public can make these much needed changes for the betterment of all people. Until then it is almost a joke that people flee Mexico to come here for toxic choices that do not heal while American's flee this country to go to get treatments that heal without the side effects of losing the hair, losing precious body mass, and destroying the immune system when they need it the most.
I hope that helps.
Take care and God Bless, Pamela
