[…] Antineoplaston therapy – End Stage, Complete Remission […]
Reply
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with MM, May this year.
I was also stage 5 renal failure.
Hospital statrted me on prednisone.
A few days later they started me on CyBord protocol
Then henodialysis 3 x a week.
It has been almost 4 months.
Chemo has reduced my Kappa light chains from 1600 to now, 280
But since my kidney function is still not back. I’m still stage 5.
There are sticky proteins stuck in my kidneys and they are “blocking”
Next step would have been; intravenous chemo to eliminate all remaining bone marrow, followed by bone marrow transplant a few days later.
The oncologist is concerned that if we do bone marrow transplant without my kidneys functionning; there are more chances of complications and less success.
Do you know of treatments or anything that can unblock my kidneys.
Or an alternate approach.
I’ve read that getting a kidneytransplant(even with the MM still not in remission) has worked on some.
And they eventualy went into recovery and remained heatlhy many years.

Hello. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in January 2018. I had to have my L3 vertebra removed as it had totally collapsed and there was a growth.
I was sent to a haemotologist and asked him for explanations and to give me time. He He was not interested so I changed my diet completely and used supplements to help reduce the myeloma. Unfortunately, my T4 compressed in January 2020 and then my C5 in August 2020.
I started canna honey oil in September and it has truly truly helped with pain.
I want to do your coaching course but I live in South Africa and with the rate of exchange it makes your fee exorbitant. Please can you let me know how your coaching would help me? I would not be able to do Dr Burzynski’s therapy as I live live in South Africa.
I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards. Sue Clarke
Hi Sue,
PeopleBeatingCancer has a grant that supports MM Cancer Coaching patients that cannot afford the program at list price. The grant provides the MM CC program at a 50% discount.
The MM CC program will help you if you think that 21 guides and 24 lessons discussing everything from anti-MM nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle combined with information about conventional standard-of-care therapies is what you need to control your MM.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
David Emerson

Hi Christine-
Please call the Burzynski Institute to confirm- my understanding is that ANP is offered on an outpatient basis. In other words, when I underwent ANP over a 17 months period, I did so from my home in Cleveland, Ohio. You may have to go to the BRI at times but please confirm this.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi David, when you explain that you did the ANP in a 17 month period, from your home in Ohio, did they provide you with the medication to take with you? If so, in what form did they give to you? In pill? Also, what kind of tests do they perform to monitor you? Many thanks!!

David,
Diagnosed with MM in May this year. Revlimid, Ninlaro and Dex have taken me from 70% invasive to 5% as of today. From reading below it seems you don’t necessarily recommend Burzynski if things are controlled by these types of medications. Correct? How long did you require treatment to achieve the incredible remission you’ve had? Did you do oral or IV treatment. FYI, just contacted the clinic and it is currently (2019) $7000 per month for oral and $17,000 per month for IV. No insurance accepted. Doesn’t include travel, tests, etc. Not everyone gets the option of choosing which treatment. Depends on your genetic work up.

A very good friend of mine was recently diagnosed with a stage 4 malignant brain tumor. He has been through radiation and chemotherapy as well as two operations/procedures to relieve pressure cranial pressure. His wife and his father are at a loss and have been told theres nothing more that can be done for him… basically he was sent home to die. I have seen the Burzynski documentary on Youtube and have shared it with them. They are desperately seeking information on getting my friend a consultation with a knowledgable doctor who can determine whether or not he would be a good candidate for an ANP treatment. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much,
Heather B

any help would be wonderful.
Hi Stanley/Donna-
I am sorry to learn of your situation.
If you are asking about antineoplaston from the Burzynki Research Institute in Houston Tx., there a too many pros and cons to list in an email reply to you. I’m happy to discuss this therapy with you over the phone (no charge) if you are interested.
It’s your call. I am not a medical doctor. I am a long-term cancer survivor who underwent ANP therapy when I was end stage for a different type of cancer.

Mr Emerson, I purchased your program in September and it was a computer based program, do you offer your program in print? I never did have the phone conversation with you that came along with the purchase of your program. I would like to talk with you and am wondering your fees for coaching /consulting on a regular basis. This disease is confusing and looking for a more holistic view other than a Mayo viewpoint! Also I am going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn. November 27 for testing and then Stem Cell collection, they said to plan for 8 to 12 days depending on how fast I turned out Stem Cells. At this time I don’t have a SCT scheduled.

My husband has MM, what is ANP? How does it work? you said the course of 17 months, did you stay at the clinic or how did you doit? Thank you for you time
Reply Hi Joanne-
I am sorry to learn of your husband’s MM diagnosis. Several things. ANP stands for antineoplaston therapy. No, I did not stay at the clinic in Houston for 17 months. I traveled to the clinic once a month for testing, more ANP and to confirm results. ANP is comprised of peptides which are the building blocks of proteins.
The issue of ANP therapy for MMers is complicated- not only is Burzynski himself controversial (many oncologists consider Bruzynski to be a quack) but there is the issue of cost, efficacy, FDA approved MM therapies, others. My advice to those MMers who ask me about my experience at the BRI is that I responded well to the therapy but that the FDA requires all MMers to undergo conventional therapies before ANP.
On the subject of conventional FDA approved MM therapies, I encourage you to learn about and pursure evidence-based integrative therapies, as well as other evidence-based but non-conventional complementary MM therapies.
Do you know your husband’s stage at diagnosis? Any symptoms such as bone damage or kidney involvement?

I need to know how much CBD and specifics of dosage. I have had NO other treatments. What else should I be taking and how much? i.e. 5,000mg of Curcumin/day? D3? What other supplements were effective for you>? I am an older woman and it is my IgG/IgA that are showing problems with excessive proliferation. Thank you.

MY CONSULTANT IN BELFAST THOUGHT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT I HAD POEMS, A RARE FORM OF MYELOMA. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE UNTRUE BUT I HAD A FEW SYMPTOMS OF POEMS. I WAS PUT ON A CHEMOTHERAPY COURSE JUST 2 WEEKS AGO. I FEEL WASHED OUT AND SLEEPY ALL THE TIME. ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!
Reply Hi Henry-
I am happy to make suggestions once I know what 1) your diagnosis 2) your symptoms and 3) your health status (age, other health issues such as heart, blood pressure, etc.)
Let me know, thanks.

Reply can you help me help my good friend with stage 4 brain cancer” How does he go about getting a consultation to see if he is a good candidate for ANP treatment and maybe a ballpark estimate on the cost of such treatment. Also, can you recommend or suggest an alternative or homeopathic type supplement he might try in the meantime?
Thanks
Reply Hi Heather-
I am sorry to learn of your friend’s brain cancer diagnosis. My understanding of people who want to learn more about the BRI simply call the office in Houston, TX. The BRI can send your friend a packet of materials explaining the basics. You are correct in thinking that the prospective patients often then travel to Houston to meet someone at the BRI.
http://www.burzynskiresearch.com
I can tell you what I spent at the BRI however my experience was from 11/97-4/99 and it was for a blood cancer called multiple myeloma.
Regarding other brain cancer therapies, I will link several below- or I should say that I will link blog posts I’ve written that link studies about therapies IN the blog posts.

David, how does one enroll for ANP? Is this something that is regulated? Any idea of the cost and the process involved to become a candidate? I have recently been diagnosed with MM, 35 years old. I’m not ready to jump on the chemo wagon just yet and am exploring all options.
Reply Hi Maria-
The process of thinking through ANP, the pros and cons of ANP and the BRI is more complicated than what I can explain in an email. Much of your thinking will revolve around therapies for MM in general both conventional (FDA approved) and evidence-based, non-conventional. At 35, a diagnosis of MM is young. Keep in mind however that I was 34 when I was diagnosed so please question the “incurable” label.
Please consider the MM Cancer Coaching program. I will link a free webinar below for you to learn more. There are a host of both conventional and evidence-based non-conventional therapies shown to be cytotoxic to MM. Further, if you choose to consult with me we can talk through all aspects of ANP and the newly diagnosed MM patient.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi
I have MM I am from the Caribbean. I am at stage three, never got any treatment before. I take Curcumin but that alone is not helping. Do you think ANP can help me. I lost lots of weight, have bone pain, HB 7 and Albumin & Globulin Ratio is 0.2. Protein level is 149 G/L
Hi Sim-
I am sorry to read about your stage 3 MM. While non-conventional therapies like ANP, nutrition and supplements may help manage your MM long term, I encourage you to undergo specific chemo ASAP in order to stabilize your health. My guess is that bone pain and other symptoms are very active MM which will continue to negatively affect your health.
Can you access an oncologist quickly? Say in Nassau or Miami/Ft. Lauderdale?

“Chemo” could include very harmful chemicals. Darzalex is immunotherapy that’s now available for mm and brought my numbers to normal in 8 treatments and a friend’s in 5 (all his previous chemo and SCT had failed). NO MORE CHEMO, w it’s hideous side-effects, is needed anymore (no SCT either).
Please suggest Darzalex in place of chemo these days.
Thanks.
Reply Hi Peter-
I understand what you are saying and as a MM survivor who has lives with several different chemotherapy-induced late stage side effects, I agree with your thinking. Chemo, all chemotherapy regimens, bring short, long-term and late stage side effects.
It would be a huge disservice to MM patients and survivors if I suggested darzalex in place of chemo as you suggest. Let me explain.
There are several challenges facing multiple myeloma patients and survivors:
First, MM is incurable. As such, MM patients and survivors take a combination of chemotherapy regimens one at a time until the patient’s MM becomes resistent to the regimen (MDR), followed by the next therapy, remission, relapse, etc.
Second, Darzelex is a chemotherapy based on the NCI’s definition of the term and does have short, long-term and late stage side effects. As the article linked and excerpted below states, the serious side effects are rare but they do happen.
MM patients have died because of darzalex…
Thirdly, according to the study linked below, darzelex works much better as a MM therapy when it is combined with SOC MM chemotherapy regimens.
In short, MM patients and survivors need both darzelex AND all other FDA approved MM chemotherapy drugs. The key is to take/urdergo as little chemo, endure as little toxicity as possible while managing your multiple myeloma. Balance the damage done by chemo with the damage done by your MM.
chemotherapy
Treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemotherapy may be given by mouth, injection, or infusion, or on the skin, depending on the type and stage of the cancer being treated. It may be given alone or with other treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or biologic therapy.
Darzalex (daratumumab)
Effectiveness
Eight clinical studies looked at how effective Darzalex was at treating multiple myeloma, alone and combined with other cancer-fighting drugs. The research showed that treatment of multiple myeloma was more effective if Darzalex was added to standard cancer treatments than if these standard treatments were given alone…
Darzalex side effects
Serious side effects
Serious side effects from Darzalex aren’t common, but they can occur. Call your doctor right away if you have serious side effects. Call 911 if your symptoms feel life-threatening or if you think you’re having a medical emergency.
Serious side effects and their symptoms can include the following:
Infusion reaction, a type of allergic reaction. Symptoms can include:
trouble breathing
throat tightness
feeling lightheaded or dizzy from low blood pressure
coughing or wheezing
runny or stuffy nose
nausea or vomiting
chills
fever
headache
itching
Pneumonia, a type of lung infection. Symptoms can include:
coughing up phlegm (mucus)
fever and chills
shortness of breath
chest pain
Hepatitis B, if you’ve had it in the past. Symptoms can include:
worsening tiredness
yellowing of your skin or the white part of your eyes
Peripheral sensory neuropathy (nerve damage that causes tingling, numbness, or pain).
Symptoms can include:
numbness or tingling
burning pain
sensitivity
weakness in your hands or feet
Peripheral edema (swelling of the hands and feet). Symptoms can include:
swelling of the arms or legs
stretched skin
skin that dents (pits) when pressed for a few seconds
Allergic reaction.*
Thrombocytopenia (low level of platelets, which are a type of blood cell that helps blood clot).*
Neutropenia (low level of neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections).*
Shingles (herpes zoster infection).*
This serious side effect is explained further in the “Side effect details” section below.
Side effect details
You may wonder how often certain side effects occur with this drug. Here’s some detail on serious side effects this drug may cause.
Allergic reaction
As with most drugs, some people can have an allergic reaction after taking Darzalex. It’s not known how often people using Darzalex have allergic reactions…
Pneumonia
Taking Darzalex may lead you to develop to a lung infection called pneumonia. This is because if you have multiple myeloma, you’re much more likely to get infections than healthy people.
In clinical studies, 11% to 26% of people who took Darzalex and standard multiple myeloma treatment developed pneumonia. This is compared to 6% to 14% of people who received just the standard treatment.
Pneumonia was the most commonly reported severe infection. Up to 4% of people across all the Darzalex studies had to stop taking the drug due to pneumonia. Death from pneumonia was very rare. But if death did occur, it was because of pneumonia and sepsis (a life-threatening response to infection)…”

I am assuming you have MM. Yes, ANP may help you but you are a long way from an expensive therapy like ANP. Are you experiencing any side effects from RVD? Do you know your M-spike?

Reply Hi Ada-
I am sorry to read of your MM diagnosis. I’m not sure what you are asking “But is it easy to get there?” Are you asking how to fly to Houston, Texas where the BRI is located? There are pros and cons to undergoing ANP therapy for MM.
What was your stage when you were diagnosed? Have you undergone any therapy such as chemo or an ASCT? What is your current stage?
Let me know, thanks.
