Apparently, someone thinks that they are the only person allowed to have a public opinion about Burzynski in a moving picture, as false takedown order attributed by Google to Burzynski movie director Eric Merola's production company has been issued against c0nc0rdance, who posted a very good video about the Clinic in February. Whoever did this, well, they done somethin' ornery. …

This seems to be yet another dick move in the ongoing series of dick moves from the screechy, fact-free hate group that appears to be the Burzynski fan club.

It’s the only explanation for homeopaths dashing off WTF-ridden Cease and Desist orders to bloggers who have the cheek, the gall, the unmitigated sense of moral duty to expose the brain-shattering inanity of their dumbfuck “teachings”.

Quite what “the worst” is, we only find out at the end, by which time it’s far too late for the infuriatingly dim student.

Homeopathy is generally presented as safe and unthreatening (except of course to Big Pharma). It too can lead to the worst.

Today, we have two stories for you, split over two posts for ease of reading, and also because I expect to swear quite a lot in the second one.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin.
