Book Review | DIPG: Eternal Hope Versus Terminal Corruption

Review by the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute | Author Dean Fachon


Cover of book, DIPG, written by Dean Fachon

If there was ever true beauty to be found in the most devastating of circumstances, the novel “DIPG: Eternal Hope Versus Terminal Corruption," penned by Dean Fachon exemplifies this to the fullest. 


When Dean and Wendy Fachon’s son, Neil, a 19-year-old engineering student at Northeastern University was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a devastating rare brain tumor, their family wasted no time and turned all their intellect, love, and energy to provide the greatest hope for his survival. 


More than just a memoir, DIPG the first book in a trilogy is a resource for those navigating the complexities and often frustrating landscape of medical treatment options for a rare disease, and a case-study critique of the current healthcare system. The author skillfully weaves together personal experiences, medical reports, and correspondence to create a compelling story that serves multiple purposes. The book acts as a guide for families facing similar diagnoses, and it’s a call for greater healthcare freedom and open-mindedness.


The book also calls into question the root cause of their son’s crisis. Heavy on their hearts  is the fact that when Neil turned 18, he went to his pediatrician as an adult, with full authority over his healthcare decisions, to get his college-entrance physical. With no reason to doubt the recommendations of the office, he was given both a Meningitis vaccine and an HPV vaccine. 


At face value, this seems perfectly reasonable, yet anyone who has delved into the benefit versus risk of these two vaccines will find plenty of data showing the benefits do not outweigh the risks. What was Neil’s risk of cervical cancer?…Sigh.


Regardless of the cause, Neil (a master chess player) along with the full support of his family, weighed every option and decided to put their greatest hope in the Burzynski’s Clinic’s antineoplastic protocol. After being accepted into an FDA-approved trial at the clinic, the FDA brought everything to a halt at the 11th hour. The agency cited concerns about the purity of a single ingredient that had been used for years without any prior evidence of harm.


In the “postscript” of this book, author Dean Fachon highlights a striking irony: just four years after shutting down Neil’s trial, the FDA took on the role of promoting experimental COVID “vaccines.” “The FDA tried to persuade every adult and child in the country to take an experimental treatment while keeping information about its ingredients hidden,” he writes. Despite reports of injuries and deaths exceeding those associated with all other vaccines combined, the FDA continued its push, potentially exposing thousands to the risk of developing rare diseases like Neil’s.


While this book takes readers on a deeply emotional journey through one of life’s most harrowing challenges, it is the unwavering courage, grace, and positivity of Neil and his family that leave the most profound and lasting impression.
