Can you identify this cancer report?

Question

In February 2001, a federal government-sponsored report under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was published finding "noteworthy cases of survival" among cancer patients using the Hoxsey herbal treatment.

What we the report, and where can I read it?

It's, "What WAS the report..."

Answer 1

This was an NIH (via NCCAM) funded research report on 2 alternative medicine clinic, including the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana which uses Hoxsey.

Here is the "noteworthy cases" paragraph from this paper:
"A best-case series or prospective monitoring of patients is justified not only because of the public health issue and investment of many patients in this course of treatment, but also because of several noteworthy cases of survival. One such case involved a patient from Australia who met with the research team while being treated for recurrent melanoma of the leg. For the past 7 years, she had used the tonic and powder only. In a small observational study, skin melanoma was cited as one cancer site for possible monitoring based on a limited number of cases (Austin et al., 1994). The recommendation to monitor patients with melanoma also was confirmed anecdotally by Mildred Nelson, R.N., Clinic Director, who stated that these patients respond to a treatment consisting of the tonic and external paste only.(*)"

IMHO, the article on the whole is definitely NOT an endorsement of Hoxsey and that quote is most likely pulled out of context to make a small piece of anecdotal evidence seem more prominent. However, as always it's best to read the article and draw your own conclusions.
