Hoxsey: How Healing Becomes a Crime

This documentary concerns Harry M. Hoxsey, the former coal miner whose family’s herbal recipe has brought about claims of a cancer cure. Starting in 1924 with his first clinic, he expanded to 17 states by the mid 1950s, along the way constantly battling organized medicine that labeled him a charlatan.

Hoxsey’s supporters point out he was the victim of arrests, or “quackdowns” spearheaded by the proponents of established medical practices. Interviews of patients satisfied with the results of the controversial treatment are balanced with physicians from the FDA and the AMA.

A clinic in Tijuana, Mexico claims an 80% success rate, while opponents are naturally skeptical. What is apparent is that cancer continues to be one of humankind’s more dreaded diseases, and that political and economic forces dominate research and development.

  1. Cancer is a HUGE money maker for any so-called medical institution. Where there is hundreds of billions of dollars, there are equal amounts of disinformation, evil people who want nothing more than to get your money. It doesn’t matter how much you give, it matters that it’s in their pockets. The cure for cancer has been known to be factual for centuries and the fear of having cancer (which everyone knows that fear sells better than the best salesman ever could, hence Covid) is on almost everyones mind. How many people are employed by cancer, how many of those people would be willing to forgo their income because of a cancer cure.

  2. i saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears a documentary where walter fishbein the head of the fda challenged hoxsey to cure an eighty year old who had terminally progressed cancer .it was obviousfishbein was banking on the cancer being so advanced has to be incureable ,even if the theropy worked .on american tv in front of millions of viewers ,the news reader announced we have just witnessed the 8 wonder of the world we now have a cure for cancer.so what started out has attempt to discredit hoxsey once and for all,miraculously showed the cure to mainstream america.the result of thiwas big pharma had start over again to wipe the memory of this from publicsmind.and did they succeed well not only does hoxsey never mentionec in mainstream if he is i know the person is hiding the truth like hyung (the last post on here) because if i was critiscising an issue has importanhas people suffering cancer i would all the important facts such has the cure challenge by fishbein on national tv .you just cant deny that

  3. The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute do not advise the use of Hoxsey Therapy, as neither has found any objective evidence that the treatment provides tangible benefit to people with cancer.[1] Reviews by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center found no evidence that Hoxsey Therapy is effective as a treatment for cancer.[2][3] A controlled experiment in lab mice did not find any difference in tumor growth between untreated mice and those given the Hoxsey tonic.[18] An FDA review of 400 people claiming to have been cured by the Hoxsey method found that many of the patients never in fact had cancer, or had received successful medical treatment elsewhere before being treated with Hoxsey Therapy. Those who had cancer at the time they used Hoxsey Therapy were uniformly either deceased or alive with active cancer. There were no cases of actual cures among those promoted as such by the Hoxsey clinic.[19]

    In 1957, a group from the University of British Columbia visited Hoxsey’s Mexican clinic and obtained records for 71 Canadian patients treated by Hoxsey. The University panel found that:

    For over one-half of the [cancer] patients from British Columbia, the result [of treatment with the Hoxsey method] has been either death or progression of the disease. In nearly one-quarter there was no proof that the patient ever had cancer. Nearly one in ten of the patients had curative treatment before going to the Hoxsey Clinic. In only one case, an external cancer, was there any evidence at all that the Hoxsey treatment had an effect on the disease; in that case, better results could have been obtained by orthodox means.[12]

    The panel reported that in the one case of demonstrable cure, a patient with a skin cancer of the ear, Hoxsey’s treatment had resulted in disfigurement which could have been avoided with standard surgical excision.[12]

    In 1998, the Office of Technology Assessment issued a report on herbal cancer treatments. This group found that while many elements of Hoxsey Therapy had antitumor activity in vitro, the complete Hoxsey tonic had never been tested in animal models or in human clinical trials.

    • All of the medical schools and institutions are established and paid for by Rockefeller’s and Gates, that’s what you meant I’m sure, no conflict of interest as they ARE big pharma also
