An Interview with Thomas Elias, author of The Burzynski Breakthrough (Nov. 15) The Burzynski Breakthrough is veteran reporter Tom Elias' second book since he co-authored The Simpson Trial in Black and White. Elias first became involved with the story of Houston physician Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D., when Elias was approached by a neighbor who believes her life was saved by Burzynski's controversial "antineoplastons" cancer treatment. The book, published in August 2000 and extensively revised from an earlier edition, details how the medicine works by manipulating genetic switches that can stop or start a tumor. It explores why Burzynski became the target for an FDA vendetta, and why a medicine that seems to be effective for a wide range of cancers has been suppressed for more than a decade.
