In March 1995, Dr. Burzynski appeared on the CBS television show “This Morning,” accompanied by three of his patients. That very afternoon, the FDA raided his clinic again. A fourth federal grand jury investigation got underway.
By November 1995, the fourth grand jury charged Dr. Burzynski with 40 counts of distributing a non-FDA approved drug in interstate commerce, 34 counts of mail fraud, and one count of contempt of court for violating the order against interstate delivery of Antineoplastons. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) questioned whether the FDA used its power to retaliate against Dr. Burzynski. “It is extraordinarily rare for a grand jury to fail to indict at the request of a U.S. Attorney,” Barton told The Washington Times. He noted that a grand jury’s failure to indict someone after three attempts is “virtually unprecedented.”
On CBS “This Morning” in 1997 with host Harry Smith a lot of former patients of the Burzynski Clinic were present to support their doctor.
