Well, there's good news and bad news.
The bad news is we're last on the program. And the good news is we're last on the program, which means that when I'm finished, you all can ask all the questions you want. And there's nobody going to throw me out of here as far as I know. And so I want to stay. I can probably stay maybe half an hour after I'm finished with the presentation. My book is called The Basinski Breakthrough. I went into this as a skeptic. One of my oldest friends, a woman named Mary Jo Siegel, had been treated and cured of a Stage four lymphoma by Dr. Brzezinski. She came to me in 1995 when I was in the middle of covering the O.J. Simpson criminal trial. At the time, I was a national correspondent for the Scripps Howard newspapers. Mary Jo came to me and I knew her to be very reliable person.
And she said, Tom, the doctor that cured me. And, you know, he cured me. It's been four years earlier. They're trying to put him in prison.
Well, I didn't know much about Dr. Brzezinski at that time, so I took a break from the Simpson trial as it happened. There was about a week's break at a certain point in August of 1995. And I had to be in court every day. But I took that week and I went down to Houston. I did some interviewing with Dr. Brzezinski. I wrote a series of articles for Scripps Howard. And subsequently after I left Scripps Howard, I wrote a book on the Simpson trial. And I also followed that up with my book, The Brezinski Breakthrough, of which this is the fifth printing. It's been revised several times and updated considerably. So today I'm going to talk a little bit about the science and the politics of the Brezinski treatment. Let's talk about the science. We have to first talk about what is the Brezinski treatment. He calls it stuff Antineoplaston as well. That's a Greek word. Neoplasm is Greek for cancer. It means an out-of-control growth. And the Greeks had experience with cancer. The ancient Greeks did. And so they came up with the word for it. And Dr. Brzezinski is actually very classically educated. And so it took the Greek word, put an answer in front of it. All it means is anti cancer. Don't let anybody tell you anything more sophisticated or or anything. It has no more mystique than that. What is it we're talking about peptides here.
Peptides are combinations of amino acids that occur naturally in all our bodies.
They are in very
