"Naples, who had gotten wealthy through successful medical and real estate deals, looked to expand his medical practice by obtaining the patent for a controversial cancer treatment from Dr. Nicholas Bachynsky. Bachynsky, who began his practice in Houston, is the Food and Drug Administration's poster child in a campaign against some risky, unauthorized cancer treatments.
In a paper titled "Diet Drug Danger Déjà Vu," the government details Bachynsky's claim that he can cure cancer in some patients in just two weeks for $15,000 to $35,000. The doctor maintains that an intravenous solution of 2,4-Dinitrophenol speeds up metabolism, causing high fevers that kill off cancer cells, but not healthy cells.
In a few cases, the FDA said, the practice has shown promise on small areas of the body to enhance radiation therapy.
The FDA, however, banned use of the chemical as a medicine in 1938 after some patients using it for weight loss died or went blind. Dinitrophenol, or DNP, was one of three main medicines that prompted the FDA to begin requiring tests on new drugs. It is now classified as a poison in the United States and is mixed into insecticides and photo-processing chemicals, among a host of industrial uses.
Bachynsky was convicted in 1989 and served eight years in federal prison for tax fraud and for billing insurance companies and the Department of Defense for the weight-loss treatments. The FDA estimates his clinics throughout Texas defrauded patients of $15 million to $37 million."
