(U.S.) hospitals and physicians cannot use new technology or protocols
until they are tested, proven, and approved. Leibowitz's work satisfies
none of these steps.

There is a lot of latitude about what hospitals and physcians can do. I
think it is more of a question of what they choose to do. Whether medicare
or insurance pays for non standard treatment or off-label use of medications
might be an issue. But, as far as I know, what Leibowitz is doing, any
physcian could do.

Sure ... until her insurance underwriter drops her. My onc cannot treat
his VA pts outside government-approved protocols.
