Harry Hoxsey (1901-1974)

Foreword

Harry Hoxsey was a powerful personality. Harry cured many people with his herbal formula, which helped him greatly whenever he was attacked.

All the cancer and natural therapies of the last century that were banned and boycotted by the pharmaceutical industry are now freely available. They can no longer prevent natural (true) healing. There's a Hoxsey clinic in Mexico, and the herbal formulas still exist.

Origin of Hoxsey herbal formula against cancer

Harry Hoxsey, born in 1901, assisted his father's veterinary practice as a child. Word of mouth led to Hoxsey's cancer practice overlapping with human patients, using an ancient Native American herbal formula to cure cancer.

In his book "You Don't Need to Die," he explains that his great-grandfather watched his favorite horse recover from cancer by eating certain flowers and weeds. His great-grandfather then formulated these botanicals into liquid concoctions. Each subsequent Hoxsey generation also worked as veterinarians and continually refined the formulas.

Soon, people with cancer began requesting Hoxsey's formulas. When his father was dying, he made Harry promise to use the topical ointments, powders, and internal liquid herbal formulas to help as many people as possible and not to exploit the remedies for personal gain.

Harry Hoxsey had 16 cancer clinics in America

It began in Dallas, Texas, around 1936. Harry Hoxsey Cancer Clinic quickly became the largest independent cancer clinic in the world after expanding to 16 other U.S. states.

What is harry hoxsey's formula?

The treatment consists of:

-A caustic herbal paste for external cancers

-A herbal mixture for internal cancers

This combined with laxatives, douches, vitamin supplements and diet adjustments.

A solution of cascara (Rhamnus purshiana) and potassium iodide served as the base for the following herbs. The herbs were added based on individual cancer cases.

These herbs were in the formula:

-Burdock root (Arctium lappa)

-Barberry or barberry root (Berberis vulgaris)

-Buckthorn bark (Rhamnus frangula)

-Stillingia root (Stillingia sylvatica)

-Prickly ash bark (Zanthoxylum americanum)

-Poke root (Phytolacca americana)

Hoxsey's view of cancer was that it was a systemic disease arising from metabolic imbalances that needed to be corrected. His tonics were intended to help create homeostasis (internal stability), kill cancer cells, and remove toxins.

This perspective is consistent with nearly all natural cancer treatments and practitioners.

Independent doctors considered Hoxsey's formula effective

Hoxsey's treatments were deemed effective by a panel of independent physicians who reviewed his patients' case histories. Their written testimonies, along with testimonies from some of his cured patients, were used in Hoxsey's 1950 lawsuit against the AMA.

There is only 1 Hoxsey clinic left in Mexico

There is one remaining Hoxsey clinic located in Mexico, just across the Mexican border from San Diego. It has a new name: BioMedicial.

See website

Today, the BioMedical Center has physicians who, in addition to Hoxsey's tonics and ointments, also offer natural remedies. These natural cancer remedies include homeopathy, laetrile, Montana yew extract, and nutritional recommendations.

Cancer patients who are too ill to travel can send a family member to the Tijuana Center with their medical records, which the staff then reviews to determine how to formulate Hoxsey tonics specifically for that patient. Family members then return to the patient with enough tonic for six months. This is usually enough to make the patient well enough to travel to the clinic and continue treatment.

Books by hexsey

The book "you don't have to die" was written by harry hoxsey himself.

Libel and slander against Harry Hoxsey

The pharmaceutical industry emerged around 1911. They bribed anyone who could put them in power, creating a monopoly. They bribed government officials, police, schools, the media, and politicians. Every year, the pharmaceutical industry gained more power over medicine.

Harry Hoxsey started several clinics and became incredibly well-known throughout the country. His method was effective, safe, and inexpensive. The pharmaceutical industry wasn't keen on this.

1-The first arrests started around 1924

Harry Hoxsey was arrested in Taylorville, Illinois, for practicing medicine without a license.

Harry went to Chicago around 1924. His goal was to prove the effectiveness of his medicines to Morris Fishbein, head of the American Medical Association (AMA) and editor of the newly founded JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association).

Terminal cancer cured

Hoxsey's formula was tested on a terminal cancer patient (Chicago police officer Sergeant Thomas Manix), who was cured by Hoxsey's herbal treatments and ultimately lived another ten years.

2-Harry won lawsuit

Impressed, Fishbein offered to buy Hoxsey's formulas to gain exclusive AMA control over their applications. Hoxsey, remembering his devotion to his father and wary of Fishbein's motives, refused the offer. Thus began Fishbein's AMA war against Hoxsey. Although Fishbein admitted that the sanguinarine in Hoxsey's bloodroot-based red paste was effective against skin cancer, the AMA vilified Hoxsey's brown liquid herbal tonics as worthless.

Hoxsey kept his internal herbal formulas secret after winning his libel lawsuit against Fishbein and the AMA in 1950. However, he was forced to disclose the ingredients to the FDA once they gained the power to enforce the ingredient list.

3-Esquire Magazine suppressed article In 1936, Hoxsey founded the nation's largest independent cancer clinic in Dallas, Texas. There, he faced a new nemesis, Dallas District Attorney Al Templeton.

Al Templeton continued to harass Hoxsey until his brother, Mike Templeton, secretly visited Hoxsey's clinic. He was cured of his supposedly incurable cancer.

Al Templeton then became Hoxsey's lawyer. Shortly afterward, Templeton was elected district judge in Dallas, and Hoxsey finally had friends in high places, albeit only locally.

4-Harry got too much fame and the pharmaceutical companies wanted to boycott his clinics

As Hoxsey's clinics expanded from Dallas to sixteen clinics in various states, his fame became too obvious for the AMA to ignore. The AMA was founded by the pharmaceutical industry.

Hoxsey's assistant, Nurse Mildred Nelson, who later founded the clinic in Mexico, originally came to Dallas to get her mother away from "that quack." After her mother recovered, Mildred ultimately stayed to help Hoxsey.

5-Journalist wrote that Hoxsey was a quack who could cure cancer

In 1939, James Burke, a journalist for Esquire magazine, was sent to Hoxsey's cancer clinic in Dallas to write an article exposing Hoxsey as a quack. After conducting research, Burke became convinced that Hoxsey's clinic actually cured cancer and that Hoxsey was not a charlatan. Burke then wrote an article titled "The Quack Who Cured Cancer" and submitted it to Esquire.

It was never published. Burke returned from active service during World War II and went to work for Hoxsey as his press agent.

San Diego journalist Peter Chowka had a similar mission after decades of admitting patients to the BioMedical Center. He went to Tijuana and discovered that the center was a great place for cancer patients, and that the treatments were safe and effective. Since then, Chowka has been an advocate for natural cancer treatment.

6-Pharmaceuticals gained more power and authority and Hoxsey had to close his clinics

It was only when the FDA gained greater authority to intervene in the interstate sales of unapproved drugs that Hoxsey was forced to close all of its facilities and relocate to Tijuana, Mexico, in 1960.

7-Ty Bollinger from "The Truth About Cancer" visited the Hoxsey Clinic in 2015

Ty Bollinger has made several documentaries about cancer, vaccinations, and the pharmaceutical industry. He visited the clinic in Mexico.

Ty Bollinger and Liz Jonas in 2015. Liz Jonas' sister worked for Harry Hoxsey.
