About Eric Merola

Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business tells the story of a pioneering physician and PhD biochemist who developed a novel, proprietary approach to cancer treatment.

The film follows Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski’s decades-long battle to bring his discovery—Antineoplastons—into FDA-approved clinical trials, while facing relentless opposition from the medical establishment and regulatory agencies.

Through the experiences of his patients and the legal challenges surrounding his work, the documentary reveals a nearly 50-year struggle marked by scientific controversy, government intervention, and an ongoing fight for recognition.

SYNOPSIS: PART II

In the compelling follow-up to the internationally award-winning documentary, Burzynski; Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business, Part II explores the current status of a controversial cancer therapy called Antineoplastons and this experimental medicineʼs clinical testing sanctioned by the United States Food & Drug Administration. This documentary also features a modern story of the turbulent journeys of cancer patients being treated today at the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas.

“Burzynski charts how a Texas medical doctor and biochemist developed Antineoplastons … and with them began to treat a wide range of cancers … with remarkable and continuing success only to bring down the full force of the medical establishment, which has laid assault to him in the most stupefying, devious and costly manner.”

Los Angeles Times

” … a dramatic expose of the FDA and its incestuous relationship
with Big Pharma as it seeks to first discredit, then co-opt Burzynski’s discovery.”
