Burzynski ruling is in (Update: Pathetic punitive actions imposed) | Doubtful News

As regular readers know, we have chronicled the operations of Stanislaw Burzynski, a medical doctor who runs his own cancer treatment clinic using some alternative methods unsupported by evidence, who was the subject of propaganda movies and campaigns and who has violated research standards according to FDA inspectors while running a never-ending trial without solid results. He was accused of charging patients exorbitant case management fees and selling them drugs at high costs from his own pharmacy.

Web pages, including ours, deemed “critical” of Universal Medicine removed from Google Search results | Doubtful News

Well, well, well, looks like a certain alternative and controversial “esoteric healing” group was busy for a year or more trying to scrub their image on the internet. Doubtful News is one of many pro-consumer blogs that have reported information about Serge Benhayon’s questionable health treatments resulting in complaints to Google initiated by Universal Medicine (UM) and our URLs removed from Google search results.

Holiday reading – web pages censored by Universal Medicine | The FACTS about Universal Medicine.

For the past two years alternative medicine conglomerate and religion, Universal Medicine, has spammed Google with complaints of defamation. Some succeeded. The following is an incomplete list of URLs removed by Google from search results. It includes links to blogs, including this one, and links to news reports from major media outlets. So much for free speech and a free press in Australia.

The UM group is in Australia. Defamation claims have been made through Google, however, UM has not made any actual legal threats. Hmm, this seems a low-cost, low-risk, easy route to follow to manipulate your online reputation. Even though they seem to have lawyers at the ready, none of the websites received real legal threats. Other sites evicted from search results include many news reports on UM’s activities (including the reports we linked to in our FACTUAL stories). Also, Pharyngula (FTB), Museum of Hoaxes, the JREF forum, Reasonable Hank, and, naturally, “universalmedicineaccountability”, “factsaboutuniversalmedicine” and “universalmedicinecult”.

Texas Medical Board files detailed complaint against Burzynski | Doubtful News

The screws continue to be tightened on “Houston Cancer Quack” Stanislaw Burzynski. Burzynski’s clinic has been the focus of very many serious allegations of violations from the state, FDA, and from diligent skeptics who know snake oil when they see it. Burzynski advocates a treatment, antineoplastons, which has not been demonstrated to work even after the clinic promised that clinical trials would take place and the results published. There are no results that show that this treatment is at all effective. However, it is expensive. Dr. B lives very well off his clinic’s income. In a ridiculous move, he has been allowed to proceed by FDA.

The Texas Medical Board has (again) filed an official complaint against Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. It’s not brief. It’s 202 pages long and detailed. Available at this link (part of the public release), you can read the entire document. But here are the factual allegations of the Texas Medical board:

Burzynski misled patients into paying exorbitant charges for drugs and medical services accepting care from unlicensed persons while Burzynski and his employees misrepresented those unlicensed persons to be licensed medical doctors in Texas accepting care from healthcare providers who didn’t have appropriate qualifications to be treating cancer patients
