Dr. Burzynski's antineoplastons have given me total remission of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A scan taken on July 10, 1998, at the Cleveland Clinic shows this. I am doing fine now and am enjoying the country.

I was treated with chemotherapy at the Cleveland Clinic from October 1993 until 1995. At that time, the doctors said I needed a bone marrow transplant within 2 months or I would be permanently paralyzed. The second opinion I received from doctors at the Irland Cancer Center was the same. I also was told that the transplant carried with it a 20% risk of death. The benefit was only 1 to 2 years of life. At the time, I was spending 16 to 18 hours a day in bed.

In March of 1995 I went to Dr. Burzynski's clinic, and for 3 and a half years I received antineoplaston therapy. During that time, I had about 12 scans and 4 MRIs performed at the Cleveland Clinic. Every one showed that I had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Finally, on July 10, 1998, the scan showed no evidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in my body.

Dear Dr. Lichtin:

I am now 68 years old. In September 1992, I was treated by you for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, until March 1995. At that time I was told all that was in the cards was a bone marrow transplant and that I needed it within 2 months or I would have permanent paralysis. After the transplant, I may have 1 or 2 years.

After much painful discussion and with the help of God, I found out about Dr. Burzynski's antineoplaston therapy 2 days before I was to start the bone marrow procedures at the Cleveland Clinic. I chose to go to Dr. Burzynski for antineoplaston therapy. I am sure glad I did, because I am here today. I have been in remission for almost 2 years.

I wish I never would have had chemotherapy. It ruined my nerve endings in my feet, giving me my only handicap. While walking, I broke my left hand and right shoulder and cut my face as the result of uncontrolled balance and hitting the pavement. Both hands were casted.

I am gaining my strength now by going to a health club and spending time in the summer riding jet skis in Sandusky Bay. My only bad experience, which almost killed me, was chemotherapy.

I am enclosing an article about Dr. Burzynski's treatment from  Dr. Julian Whitaker's newsletter and outer sheets, hoping that this can be used to help other people as it has me.

I am available to give you or anyone else information as to what Dr. Burzynski has done to save my life, with the help of the good Lord.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Charles T. Novy

Dear Mr. Novy:

Thank you for your November 28th letter. I know how difficult the chemotherapy was and bad the neuropathy is for you. I am impressed with how well you have done.

I am very happy that you're gaining your strength and that you feel that the treatment you had from Dr. Burzynski helped you.

I have become peripherally involved with a child with a brain tumor who is also receiving Dr. Burzynski's treatment. I am not directly involved with her care but have heard of what has been happening with her.

I am interested in this type of treatment, although I still feel that the care that you received here was appropriate. It was your motivation to seek out other opinions that led to the treatment in Houston.

Keep me informed as to how you are doing. I am again, very gratified with your overall course.

Sincerely Yours,
