(The Best Years in Life) It’s rare that a person who introduces a successful alternative cancer cure fights back continuously against the medical establishment’s cancer industry while remaining in the USA with any success. Yet the colorful and dynamic Harry Hoxsey did so often for over 35 years and won a few battles in the process.

The medical establishment used the FDA to eventually win the war. His USA operations were closed down in 1960, but his legacy continues as the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana, Mexico. His clinic was the first alternative cancer clinic to flee into a less politically medical hostile environment. Others have since followed, thanks to the tyrannical monopoly of the Medical Mafia.
The Hoxsey Clinic’s Approach
There are two herbal formulas used in the Hoxsey treatment. One is external, and it consists of a red paste made with bloodroot, the active anti tumor ingredient, mixed with zinc chloride and antimony sulfide. This paste is applied directly onto skin cancer tumors.
The internal tonic consists of Red Clover blossom, Licorice root, Buckthorn bark, Burdock root, Stillingia root, Poke root, Barberry root, Oregon Grape root, Cascara Sagrada bark, Prickly Ash bark, Wild Indigo root and Sea Kelp. The Sea Kelp may have been added more recently to the original formula. A supplement of potassium iodide was included along with the tonic.
In the clinic, patients eat together and mingle freely among themselves. The atmosphere is cordial and friendly, the type of positive attitude that encourages healing, sometimes in and of itself. Communication among staff and patients is open. Humor and positive attitudes are encouraged. When Hoxsey was in charge, he would personally greet and encourage patients to instill a positive attitude.
There was, and still is a one time fee, which enables patients to return as often as needed and receive the tonics. In 2005 at the now renamed Mexico Bio-Medical Center, it was around $3500 to $5000 with a one-third down payment. Compare that to chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, doctor bills, and hospital stays for the average cancer patient!
Hoxsey himself never turned anyone down for lack of funds. He had become successful as an oil man in Texas and he didn’t need the money. Yet claims that Hoxsey was a con man out to exploit people anxious for a cure was a chronic AMA tactic.
Journalist James Burke observed Hoxsey take people who had traveled to his clinic in Dallas and personally handle all their travel and living expenses while charging nothing if they were broke. Burke was originally sent by Esquire Magazine in 1939 to expose Hoxsey as a quack and a fraud.
After witnessing so many patients recover, the manner in which they were treated, and the generosity Hoxsey displayed for cancer victims low on cash, Burke submitted an article titled “The Quack Who Cures Cancer” to Esquire Magazine. It didn’t get printed. After WW II, James Burke worked for Hoxsey as a press agent.
All the medical institutional queries into Hoxsey’s treatments were and still are negative and dismissive. And these reports are the ones that get published and circulated among the medical journals and press releases to the mass media.
What doesn’t get circulated in journals or mass media, however, is that several independent doctors, free of association or institutional restraints, conducted their own investigations and concluded that the Hoxsey therapy was more effective at curing cancer than the “conventional methods,” and without side effects. Additionally, there are many Hoxsey cured patient testimonials.
Hoxsey’s Personal History and Battles with the Medical Mafia
Harry Hoxsey was not a medical practitioner. But he was the young son of a rural Illinois veterinarian who used an herbal tonic and salve on animals, mostly horses, then secretly on humans with cancer. He found the formulas very successful. Though young Harry never got past the 8th grade, he assisted his father and understood the family formula his dad used and how to use and apply it to others.
As Hoxsey’s father lay dying in bed, he told his son to use the family name for the formula, and to ensure its integrity. He also told Harry not to use the family formula primarily for monetary gain, but to allow its use for as many cancer victims as possible. In 1922, Harry Hoxsey started his first clinic in Taylorville, Illinois. He was hounded and arrested often for practicing medicine without a license.
He went to Chicago around 1924 to meet with the head of the American Medical Association (AMA) and editor of the AMA’s Medical Journal, Dr. Morris Fishbein, to prove the efficacy of his treatment. He was given access to a Chicago policeman, Sgt. Thomas Manix, whose cancer prognosis was terminal. Using both the ointment and tonic, the policeman was completely cured. This is a documented medical fact. Manix lived another 10 years.
