My wife was cured of cervical and bone cancer in the mid 1980s by the Hoxey Clinic of what the doctors in Calgary had determined was terminal. She is still doing fine, and without relapse.

I found out about him through my adventures in surfing the net!

He is the only man that took on the AMA (ameircan medical association) and WON.

His father passed on a formula based on weeds that actually cured cancer.

Still being used today in the cancer clinics in Tijuana Mx, and other parts, also his formula can be bought over the net.

You must see this film. It will show how the medical mafia ran this great, caring man from helping people.  He finally gave his head nurse the formula and told her to take it to Mx, where they still help people today.

Harry Hoxsey: Healer Before His Time

http://www.consciouschoice.com/2001/cc1409/harryhoxsey1409.html

an interview with Kenny Ausubel

In 1924, ex-coal miner, Harry Hoxsey, claimed a cure for cancer using herbal remedies inherited from his great-grandfather. Thousands of patients swore the treatment cured them but medical authorities branded Hoxsey the worst cancer quack of the century. Was Hoxsey a quack — who cured cancer? Decide for yourself with the help of this excerpt from a conversation between Kenny Ausubel and Michael Toms, on New Dimensions Radio.

Michael Toms: So Ken, tell me how you got interested in Harry Hoxsey and this whole process of curing cancer. What’s the story behind that?

Kenney Ausubel: Well, I was living on a small farm north of Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1976 and I got a phone call one evening from my mom telling me, blood chillingly, that my father had cancer. And six months later he was dead; they didn’t even try to treat him. Two weeks later in the mail, unbidden, I received this newsletter containing testimonials of cancer patients who said that they had actually been cured by using this nutritional and metabolical program.

I decided with my father freshly buried that if there was anything to this I really wanted to know about it. I embarked on a personal investigation. And I sort of fell through the rabbit-hole into this nether world of remarkable remissions, what Dr. Bernie Siegel calls "people who got well when they weren’t supposed to." Several years into that process I came upon this very obscure article in a magazine by Peter Chowca about the story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics. Here was this fellow who claimed to have a treatment for cancer that really worked — these herbal formulas — and two federal courts upheld the therapeutic value of the treatment. He had senators, judges, Congressmen, even many doctors supporting him, yet he could not get organized medicine to give him a fair investigation.

Toms: Let’s set the timeframe for Harry Hoxsey.

Ausubel: He was born in 1901. He was the baby of thirteen children. His father had these herbal formulas that he had inherited from his grandfather who was actually a horse farmer in Illinois around 1840.

[According to] Hoxsey legend, the great grandfather’s prize stallion had a malignant tumor on its right hock. He didn’t want to kill the animal, so he just put it out to pasture to die peacefully. Three weeks later he noticed that the tumor had stabilized and within three months the horse was completely well. So he started to observe this horse very closely, of course, and what he found was that it was eating all these unusual plants, not part of its normal diet, mostly roots. He went to the barn and got his mortar and pestle and started to experiment with these herbs that were discovered, quite literally, by horse-sense. He actually became very famous as a veterinarian for treating animals with tumors and cancer and then passed the formulas down through the generations.

In 1924, Harry’s father died and bequeathed him the formulas on his death-bed with various charges: poor people should be treated for free, and if possible, he would like the Hoxsey name on it. He warned the boy against what he called the high priests of medicine who would fight him tooth and nail of every turn because he was taking money out of their pockets. And boy, was that prophetic.

At that time medicine was not very remunerative. In fact, the largest cause of death among doctors was suicide usually owing to poverty. But great financial empires were being built around oil, steel, and money and so forth, and several of these folks recognized that medicine was an unexcavated gold mine. So by the time Harry Hoxsey opened up his first clinic in 1924, the American Medical Association (AMA) was suddenly a formidable organization backed by very large financial interests.

Toms: So then — the allopaths literally took over.

Ausubel: They took over. There are two levels of the story: one of them is about money and about a trade war of people essentially competing for business. And the other part of it was really a difference in medical opinion. A complete difference in medical philosophies about the nature of healings and the nature of therapy.

Toms: Also, at the same time this is when the American Medical Association got created, right?

Ausubel: It was actually created in 1847 but it was an inconsequential trade association throughout the nineteenth century. It was only when these large financial forces got involved that it became powerful. What was good about it for the doctors was that they started to make more money. What was bad was they lost control over their professional integrity and essentially gave up their power to this organization that is pretty notorious for self-serving interests.

But Hoxsey didn’t quite understand that. He opened up his first clinic in 1924 —

Toms: So he’s jumping into this context now.

Ausubel: Yes, and he had sort of wanted to go to medical school but somebody jump-started him a little bit and convinced him that he should just open up his clinic, which he did.

Toms: Did he go to high school?

Ausubel: No, he obtained a high school correspondence course diploma. His family was very poor.... When his dad died when he was in the eighth grade he had to go to work in the mines.

He sold insurance. He actually played baseball — he was very athletic and he played ball for three different teams under three different names. Kind of a Baron Von Munchhausen character, very charismatic and had the manner of a used car salesman, but utterly sincere about his therapy.

And so as he opened his first clinic, word spread pretty quickly and he became rather famous rather fast. He was just south of Chicago in a place called Taylorsville. Word reached the AMA headquarters in Chicago, and he was invited to do this demonstration of his treatment. But then the mystery really kicks in because the accounts diverge radically.

Hoxsey said that the AMA called him into their office and offered him a contract for the rights of his formula. And he brought up the issues that his father had asked about treating poor people for free and maybe carrying the Hoxsey name and they frostily told him there would be no changes in the contract: sign it or else you’ll be ruined. And he refused. The AMA denied of course that this ever happened. For the next thirty-five years they fought each other tooth and nail.

Toms: We probably at this point, should describe the Hoxsey method. It involves two types of medicine —

Ausubel: There is an internal tonic that you take orally and then there are these two salves. One is a powder and one is a paste. And the tonic is nine herbs in a base of potassium iodine. And it tastes kind of like flat root beer, it’s not unpleasant at all.

And then the two salves,...called esoterics. They actually come from a shepherding tradition. The red paste is an indiscriminate caustic: it will eat anything in its path. It can be very, very dangerous in unskilled hands. And then the yellow powder is called selective. It will only harm malignant tissues. In other words, you could put it on your arm if you had some skin cancer and it would not affect the healthy tissue but would literally eat away the malignant tissue.

The external salves are not even contested anymore: they do work. Organized medicine in one of its battles with Hoxsey admitted that around 1950.

Toms: I know that Dr. James Duke — who used to be at the National Institute of Health and later at the Department of Agriculture — made a statement for your film and also in the book that all the ingredients of Hoxsey’s tonic were ingredients that had been tested at NIH and had been proven anti-carcinogenic.

Ausubel: Yes, it’s really fascinating because all these years Hoxsey’s quest was for an investigation. Essentially at least seven of the nine herbs have shown anti-cancer and anti-tumor activity under controlled laboratory conditions. There is no question of this that these are anti-cancer plants.

Toms: So in the fifties, [Hoxsey] was going strong.

Ausubel: Right. There was a prosecutorial assault [throughout] the 1950s and amazingly, Hoxsey won almost every single trial. Then the story takes quite a Shakespearean twist. He discovered in 1967 that he had prostate cancer. And Hoxsey took his tonic but it didn’t work for him.

His wife finally prevailed on him to go and have surgery but this was the very surgery that he had decried all these years, of course. Nobody knows exactly what happened but something went wrong in the surgery. For the last seven years of his life he was an invalid. Isolated, almost alone, people had forgotten about him and he died in 1974 without even an obituary in the Dallas newspapers.

Toms: So [he sent] his nurse friend...to Mexico.

Ausubel: Tijuana, in Mexico. And a federal government or government sponsored report has found "noteworthy instances of survival using the Hoxsey therapy." They are recommending investigation. So seventy-five years later, Hoxsey is getting what he wanted all along. [And now] the Office of Alternative Medicine budget has jumped from $2 million to $50 million in about four years. So you’ll be seeing many, many more of these therapies starting to enter practices.

Toms: What are some of the other ones?

Ausubel: There’s a very interesting one developed by a physician in Houston named Dr. Stanislav Berzinsky, [who] came up with this peptide theory that there are changes in the amino acids. The Food and Drug Administration went after him for fifteen years and they finally, finally lost the trial and Berzinsky won. He’s now got seventy-five clinical trials going, and the early results are absolutely clear that he is curing certain kinds of cancer. That’s one of the front runners. The Burton protocol is another amino-augmentative therapy that has shown some pretty good results.

None of these things is a magic bullet and none of them has claimed to be. Hoxsey never claimed to have a cure-all. He said he had his own opinion about his success rates and certain types of cancers that it is more or less effective against and we should test that because we should know. Also it should be emphasized that conventional cancer treatments do work for some kinds of cancers and some stages of cancer and patients should absolutely be advised of those therapies. [But] chemotherapy [is comprised of] brutally toxic drugs. You can actually die from the drugs. In the case of the Hoxsey tonic, the worst it’s going to do to you is nothing but it won’t hurt you.

Toms: One of the things that struck me, Kenny, in reading the book and seeing the film was that [Hoxsey’s treatment] also has to do with patient’s attitudes. Tell us about that.

Ausubel: Well, it’s kind of remarkable because very early on, Hoxsey actually said that cancer is not only a disease, it’s a psychosis and so he treated the whole person. He treated the mind and the spirit and the emotional body. In the 1920s,‘30s,‘40s, and‘50s this was very radical.

At that same time, he recommended a diet, which in that era was also very radical because organized medicine said there is no connection between diet and health or diet and disease. So he was way ahead of his time on these things. And it becomes even harder to investigate these treatments in that way when you have a whole gestalt. So it makes it very complex when you try and look at these things scientifically.

Toms: So this leads us into the power of the patient.

Ausubel: I think that’s the crux, really, of a lot of this stuff. It’s entirely people-driven. They say that as many as two-thirds of cancer patients are now using an alternative therapy. There are bills before Congress now and eventually one of these is going to get passed that essentially demand access to medical treatment. That you as a patient in consultation with your physician have the right to make an informed choice and that’s a very, very reasonable thing.

Toms: I remember when I used to talk to Andy Weil maybe ten, twelve years ago in the late eighties and there were something like two or three medical schools that had any kind of curriculum in complementary or alternative medicine at all. And now there are 119 or 122, something like that. That’s going to create a whole other world.

Ausubel: Exactly. Education is so important to this process. What Andy talks about and other physicians talk about is integrative medicine, where you take the best of all worlds and as much as possible you base that on real evidence rather than the ideology of whichever side. That’s certainly the future I would like to see, and I believe many patients would like to see that. After all, you want the maximum of good options that you can have and when you’re facing a terminal illness you don’t really care about ideology: you’re interested in results.

Toms: Why wouldn’t anyone want the best of all worlds?

Ausubel: I can’t answer that. But George Soros, the currency trader, actually gave a speech and money to Columbia University recently, and he has suggested that medicine should be taken out of the market. That it should be a non-profit industry. Should we really be making money off human suffering? He says no, and I think it’s worth thinking about.

Toms: So it sounds like there’s a very hopeful future for having more choices and more possibilities actually integrated into the culture.

Ausubel: Well, there is. I, personally, am guardedly optimistic. But knowing the story that Hoxsey tells you have to remain a little bit sanguine about it, too.
