Question

During the 1950's, this man founded the largest private clinic of its kind in the entire world, and operated it out of Dallas Texas, yet today hardly anyone knows his name. Where is the Hoxsey clinic located today? Finally, were you personally ever a recipient of the Hoxsey treatment?

Answer 1

Description / Source / Components
"Hoxsey herbal treatment includes a paste of antimony, zinc and bloodroot, arsenic, sulfur, and talc as external treatments, and a liquid mixture of licorice, red clover, burdock root, Stillingia root, barberry, Cascara, prickly ash bark, buckthorn bark, and potassium iodide for internal consumption. A mixture of procaine hydrochloride and vitamins, along with liver and cactus, is prescribed." (Spencer)

This treatment is currently offered at the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana, which is operated by Mildred Nelson, Hoxsey's former chief nurse. (U.S. Congress)

During treatment, patients are asked to avoid consumption of tomatoes, vinegar, pork, alcohol, salt, sugar, and white flour products. (Fink 1988)

Answer 2

FOR OVER THREE DECADES, Harry Hoxsey (1901-1974), a self taught healer, cured many cancer patients using an herbal remedy reportedly handed down by his great-grandfather. By the 1950's, the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic in Dallas was the world's largest private cancer center, with branches in seventeen states. Born in Illinois, the charismatic practitioner of herbal folk medicine faced unrelenting opposition and harassment from a hostile medical establishment. Nevertheless, two federal courts upheld the "therapeutic value" of Hoxsey's internal tonic. Even his archenemies, the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration, admitted that his treatment could cure some forms of cancer. A Dallas judge ruled in federal court that Hoxsey's therapy was "comparable to surgery, radium, and x-ray" in its effectiveness, without the destructive side effects of those treatments.

Answer 3

The clinic is located in Tijuana, Mexico. No, I never have been a recipient of this very questionable cancer treatment and I don't personally know of anyone who has.
