Burzynski The Movie - Cancer Is Serious Business
Sunday, June 9 at 12:00 pm on Channel
12.1
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This film tells the story of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, a pioneering medical doctor and PhD biochemist who ... [See more]won the largest – and possibly the most convoluted – legal battle against the Food and Drug Administration in American history. Burzynski’s battles were centered on his belief in Antineoplastons, a gene-targeting cancer therapy he discovered in the 1970s.
The ultimate approval of Antineoplastons would mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, would hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting, life-saving medical breakthrough.
Directed by Eric Merola, BURZYNKSI provides first-person testimonials of cancer patients who chose his treatment instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation – with full disclosure of original medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery.
IN-STUDIO GUESTS:
During its CPT12 premiere, Director Eric Merola and Houston’s Burzynski Clinic spokesperson Azad Rastegar will join CPT12 Director of Development Shari Bernson and journalist Rebecca Stevens live in the studio to discuss the film.
OPINIONS:
For more than 30 years, CPT12 has brought independent, challenging and sometimes controversial content to air, at times in the face of individual and group protests. This film falls into that category. For all those years we have trusted the intelligence and judgment of our audience and their ability to discern what might be right for them.
While you may disagree with our choice to air BURZYNSKI, we believe that viewers can be the best judge of the content. Our goal is not to endorse the film or its assertions but simply to present the information.
In addition to posting a comment below, we’d like to invite you to bring your ideas and thoughts over to our CPT12 Facebook and Twitter pages (#burzynski) where we will be discussing and debating different opinions throughout the week.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:
CPT12 provides a platform for discussion and encourages you to do your own research if you are interested in this subject matter. Check out these additional resources – both for and against – the film:

SKYPE INTERVIEW SEGMENTS WITH FORMER PATIENT DUSTIN KUNNARI
Dustin Kunnari was 2 1/2 years old in 1994 when he was diagnosed with Meduloblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Because of serious side effects from recommended radiation and chemotherapy, Dustin's parents opted to find an alternative, non-toxic cancer therapy. Their independent research led them to Dr. Burzynski.
The following video segments are part of a Skype interview with Dustin and his parents, Mariann and Jack.
