“Alternative” cancer clinic threatens to sue high school blogger

[Godhumor]

Subject from Bad Astronomy.

So, right now there is a story making the rounds of the incredibly awful quack "Dr" Stanislaw Burzynski suing blogs that point out his "antineoplaston" therapy is essentially, well, horeshit of the worst woo kind (The kind that provides false hope to desperate people and charges many thousands of dollars for the priviledge.).

The reason this is making the rounds now is one of his targets was Rhys Morgan, a 17 year old blogger, whom the clinic minders attempted to intimidate, threaten, cajole, etc. Rhys ended up having none of it and posted the whole exchange on his site. He handled the situation with aplomb and maturity, and, as a result, his story has begun popping up all over the casual scientific communities online.

I found out about it through Bad Astronomy at http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/11/28/alternative-cancer-clinic-threatens-to-sue-high-school-blogger/#more-41301.

Rhys Morgan's account is at his website http://rhysmorgan.co/2011/11/threats-from-the-burzynski-clinic/.

Read the story and give support to a talented and gifted young man who refused to roll over.
