Excellent series of videos and articles about Quack cancer doc Stanislaw Burzynski...

Orac has written extensively about Burzynski at Scienceblogs, but USA Today recently did a very, very detailed series on Burzynski, his clinic and his "treatment" of cancer.

This is well worth the time to view and read, if you're at all interested in what's going on in the medical woo community. It also gives a glimpse of why so many of us are so intolerant of predators like Burzynski, who profit handsomely by selling false hope.

Orac reviews the piece, and provides a smackdown of the response from Burzynski's minions here:

Enjoy!
