Whoever knows how to get in touch with Valerie Harper please forward this information.

“Burzynski” is the title of the do***entary on Netflix. If you do not have Netflix his do***entary is also on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnxvn5CSuc8 Dr. Burzynski discovered a cure for certain forms of cancer and has demonstrated a tremendously higher percentage rate than the conventional method of putting other forms into remission all in the form of a pill with no side effects in the 1970s. In this do***entary you will hear parents testifying in front of Congress whose children were sent home with 2 to 4 months to live because of inoperable brain tumors. Six weeks after starting Dr. Burzynski's pill all evidence of their brain tumor was gone or the tumor was greatly reduced in size.
You can put this web address in (not allow to enter 2 "urls) and get information on his treatment center in Houston Texas.

Good luck and God bless
