Press Release

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

One of our own needs our help. I couldn't believe this was possible in the

USA, but now I do.

Please take 5 minutes of your time and call/email/write your Congressman and

the FDA. Whether or not you believe in the Burzynski Treatment, I hope you

believe that a brain tumor patient should have the freedom to seek the

medical treatment of his or her own choice.

Visit http://www.citizens.org/ They have a simple step-by-step procedure

that allows you to write an email or print out a letter to your Congressman.

Help support the parent's right to choose the medical treatment that they

feel is in the best interests of their son.

Thank you in advance for the Navarro family,

Kurt, father of 11

dx 8/99 - diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

10/19/99 - finished 3D conformal radiation,5400 rads

11/10/99 - started Burzynski treatment

Subject: Press Release

Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 16:41:11 -0500

4-Year-Old Navarro is being ignored by HHS Head Donna Shalala and

the National Media in his 5-Month Fight for Life

Congressman Dan Burton Joins in This Little Boy's Fight for Medical Freedom

for All Cancer Patients

February 25, 2000. Houston, Texas- Navarro is awaiting a response from

the Head of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala. Ms. Shalala, whose

agency oversees the FDA, has never even bothered to respond to a letter

signed by all the Republican candidates for President, and other letters,

asking that be allowed to be treated either as a special exception or

under a newly created protocol for medulloblastoma.

's parents, Jim and Donna Navarro, refuse to subject to a

life-threatening, permanently debilitating regimen of concurrent

chemotherapy and irradiation to the little boy's brain. The Navarros have

done their homework and do not believe it is in 's best interests to

accept the medical consequences of this toxic regimen. The side effects, as

revealed in the cutting-edge medical literature include hearing loss, mental

retardation, profound physical deficits, and more-even death. The Navarros

searched for and found a nontoxic treatment, which has none of these side

effects. But the FDA refuses to allow to be treated with a nontoxic

therapy and insists on giving him toxic chemotherapy and irradiation.

The FDA has dug its heels in now for 5 months. Their stand is set in

concrete: We don't care what the parents want. However, will die

without treatment. As a US citizen, he can have only the treatment the FDA

wants him to have. What makes less sense is that the therapy the Navarros

want to have is being tested in FDA-approved clinical trials. Also,

forms of this therapy are being tested in over 20 clinical trials in over 20

major cancer centers across the United States, all of which are NCI-funded.

Despite pressure from extremely powerful politicians, the FDA will not

relent. As a result, Representative Dan Burton, Chairman of the House

Oversight Committee on Government Reform, has very recently submitted the

" Navarro FDA Patient Rights Act. " This is emergency legislation,

because doesn't have the years it would take for a normal bill to run

the gauntlet of the Congress.

But the mainstream press seems to be ignoring this powerful story that has

implications for every single American. This story needs national exposure

to help get this bill passed, and immediately. This bill will provide

expanded access to clinical trials for all patients with cancer, and other

diseases. No longer will these patients be forced to be subjected to

chemotherapy, irradiation, or even a bone marrow transplant before they can

seek treatment for cancer in a clinical trial.

It is obvious the national media believes that a little Cuban boy with two

homes who is healthy is more newsworthy than . Elian is more important

than saving 's life. Elian also seems to be more important than

medical freedom for all Americans.

However, the American public may disagree. One of two men and one of three

women will get cancer. Medical freedom of choice for cancer patients touches

everyone's life. This is what Americans care about and want open discussions

about, especially during an election year. The candidates and the media have

been ignoring a topic that the American public is more interested in than

any of the issues being discussed.

Yes, nice kangaroo court system isn't it?

Turn kid autistic, can't make claim.

Try to sue, can't sue because you didn't make claim.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Contact: Carol Stott, PhD

MAJOR PAPER RELEASED ADDRESSING THE IMMUNIZATION ACTION COALITION AND THE DR. ARI BROWN ARTICLE " CLEAR ANSWERS AND SMART ADVICE ABOUT YOUR BABY'S SHOTS "

Last week the General Medical Council's Fitness to Practice Panel heard the last of the evidence in defense of three doctors who dared to investigate bowel disease in children with autism. Within days, Dr. Wakefield returns to the public arena with a gem – and the gloves are off.

Major autism organizations worldwide have endorsed the detailed " Response to Dr. Ari Brown and the Immunization Action Coalition. " The response was prompted by an ill-prepared and factually inaccurate document produced by Dr. Ari Brown, a US pediatrician, titled “Clear Answers and Smart Advice About Your Baby’s Shots.”

The Wakefield et al. response provides fully referenced coverage of the real facts behind the issues that concern parents, doctors and scientists for whom repetitious government propaganda and intellectual cowardice is no longer good enough. The response points to the current position of the US Institute of Medicine on the possible causes of autism ( " vaccines are on the table " ) and alludes to the notorious Simpsonwood meeting in which data were manipulated to remove an apparent effect of vaccine exposure on autism onset. Readers are invited to ponder on the reasoning behind mass vaccination of very young babies against sexually transmitted disease ( " …because we can " ). How is vaccine safety evaluated….and what is the real position on mercury toxicity? Are all of our vaccines mercury-free…and what about aluminium? And that Japanese study? Did it prove that MMR is safe?

Point-by-point, this reasoned, well-referenced and important response by Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues and collaborators at Thoughtful House addresses these issues and many more. It concludes by stating that parents looking for sound advice on vaccine issues, frankly, deserve better.

You may link to the downloadable pdf,

" Response to Dr. Ari Brown and the Immunization Action Coalition " by

Please print and share the document. Sample cover letters to attach and take to your physician or legislative health staffer will be posted to the Autism One website soon.
