Burzynski will have a hearing with the Texas Medical Board in April 2012. The board might well revoke his approbation.

 

Burzynski had a hearing with the Texas Medical Board in April 2012. The FDA had put a partial clinical hold on his clinical trials for pediatric patients which even was extended to all clinical trials six months later. FDA inspections of both Burzynski Clinic and Burzynski Research Institute followed in early 2013. However, FDA lifted these bans again in June 2013, despite damning inspection results establishing a rather sweeping non-compliance with FDA constraints by Burzynski. Meanwhile, the Texas Medical Board is again taking action against Burzynski. One of the latest additions to the list of trangressions, the TMB added the use of health care providers with little or no education or skill and representing them to patients as being doctors.<ref>http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-texas-medical-board-vs-stanislaw-burzynski-2014-edition/ </ref>
