The ones provided to subjects in legitimate clinical trials.
Such as?? Your anser is very vague.
Let's put it this way, visit the website which is listed upthread and take a
look. See the dramatic difference with the fees involved.

Wrong, and not the point. What Burzynski is doing is ensuring the fact that
people do not participate in his trials, unless they can pay out of pocket.
Health insurance does NOT cover experimental treatments, etc. He is not
funded from NCCAM, etc. Thus it is the desperately ill terminal patient who
has to cough up the bucks for the medical treatment.

See above. Do YOU think it is legitimate to charge people in this
circumstance?

them.
Many doctors do provide free medications (the ones dropped off by evil sales
reps), and I know of several doctors who will perform surgery for free. In
fact, one good friend of mine will perform surgery at no out of pocket
charge, if the case is a challenge. His website, the last time I looked,
says so. I would post the URL, or provide it to you in email, except that I
do not trust you and you enabler. Your loss.
