The FDA also observed that Burzynski had denied patients informed consent by not informing of extra costs that they might incur during treatment and that he could not account for his stock of the investigational drug. Lastly, the FDA observed: "Your [...] tumor measurements initially recorded on worksheets at baseline and on-study treatment [...] studies for all study subjects were destroyed and are not available for FDA inspectional review," meaning that there is no way for the FDA to verify either initial tumor sizes or any effect that the antineoplastons might have had.

Hi Guys,
Before you close the tab, this isn't a charity plea!
This was sent to me in an email asking me to sign a petition to help save this Child's life.

Refael Elisha Cohen, a six year old from Houston TX, was diagnosed with brain cancer. He has gone through many treatments and unfortunately, doctors have now given him one last resort.
The only possibility of saving his life is  by giving him Antineoplaston therapy. However, this therapy is currently under FDA inspection and it'll be too late for him when it is finally approved.
The FDA has the power to approve a "compassionate use exemption" so Refael Elisha can undergo this therapy before it is fully approved to try and save his life.

I know that the community here is large. We have thousands of users of different cypto-currencies here. All I ask is that you take a minute out of your schedule to sign this White House Petition to help give this brave and strong child a chance of life.

The petition can be found here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/authorize-fda-grant-compassionate-use-exemption-refael-elisha-cohen-antineoplaston-therapy/BVSP1ZkW

Another 46000 signatures are needed by January the 2nd.

We alone on bitcointalk have the power to ensure that the petition reaches 100k signatures in order to save this Child.

Please spread the word, and post below if you have signed it. No matter what race or religion you are, we are all humans and we all have the right to live...

Many Thanks

- AT101ET

It means, it will now be reviewed by White House officials.
They have the final say and will either give it the all clear or reject it.

PETITION HAS BEEN FULFILLED!!!
Many thanks to all those who signed it.
Have a wonderful Christmas (to those that celebrate) and a happy, healthy and successful year.

Thanks once again. Smiley

WE DID IT!!!  Smiley Smiley Smiley

What does "has been fulfilled" mean?
Is this the thing where the White House MUST answer when enough votes?

Hmm, tough call.  Based on what I've read about the guy that runs this clinic it does sound like he's a scammer that preys on the terminally ill's hopes, in order to stay in business.  But the kid seems real enough...  I guess if his parents want to spend their money that's their business.  But I don't necessarily want to help the doctor get more money, if he really is a charlatan.  Tough call...  Screw it, I'll sign it, it looks like it's a one time authorization for this particular kid.  Signed...

Bumping up again.
Thanks to everyone who's helped so far.
I've now created a post on reddit as well, so thanks for the advice.
Only 29,000 more signatures needed. A big drop from the 55,000 needed when this thread was started.

can you link us to the reddit thread? i'd like to see what kind of an impact that has had.

20,000 signatures sign i signed it a few days ago. at this rate, it looks like it will go through. we'll have to see if anything will really happen though.

another idea: you could contact a talk show, such as ellen.. to get them to cover this story. that would probably put you over 150,000 even.

You are free to debate it.
BUT, if you don't believe in it, don't try to persuade others not to sign up.
And which sadistic people would do that?

I don't know this kid, but his story has been going round, and I don't think for a second that any family on Earth would make that up.

For all those trying to promote this, I thank you.
My gratitude may not be much, but you will be rewarded one day Smiley

Guys, I respect your views.
However, please don't make this a discussion thread whethe you believe in it or not.
I'm sure the parents and doctors have spoken about it greatly and this really is the last resort.
In addition, I'm certain the parents wouldn't force anything on their dying son without discussing it with him first. Yes he's 6, but he understands that's he's sick, and I'm pretty sure he's able to make a decision over a small chance he has of living and dying.
THIS IS NOT AN APPEAL.
$92k has already been donated for his treatment.
Whether you believe in it or not, this is the child's only hope, and I'm sure if anyone here was in the same or similar situation (which should never happen), I'm sure you'd all do the same.

Thanks


Wait!.
We are free to debate and talk about this. You can't force us to either sign up or walk away with our mouths shout.
Reading some posts I do hope this isn't a clever elaborated scam to prove this treatment works on a healthy child!

btw, have you tried posting it on reddit? that might get more than enough signatures. it's possibly front page material right there. if that were the case, you'd end up getting well over 100,000 votes.

Yes, that's true.
But if someone doesn't believe in it and genuinely has something against it, then that is up to them. However, I ask that they do not post their views if its only going to dissuade others.
This is about saving someones life, not a national debate.

Thanks

well, if you want people to sign the petition, and they are discussing about the validity of what the petition is for.. i think it's proper to mention.
