He was using an herbal formula called the Hoxsey formula. It was the very same formula his father, a veterinarian, had successfully used to cure horses of cancer for years. Harry stressed that his most difficult cases were those who had received radiation and chemotherapy treatment, due to the associated anemia and immune suppression." - Dr. David W.

"The second stage might be considered the Age of Conformity in Medicine, when any promising findings outside of officially sanctioned channels—like those of Royal Rife in pathology, harry hoxsey in oncology, Wilhelm Reich in psychiatry, and D.

An exceedingly generous man, he treated nearly a third of his patients for free, and often paid for the food, lodging, and travel expenses of his poor patients. Mildred Nelson, the woman who was eventually to become Harry Hoxsey's chief nurse, and who is today the most prominent practitioner of the Hoxsey method, was another doubter when she was first introduced to the Hoxsey approach in 1946." - John Robbins, Reclaiming Our Health: Exploding the Medical Myth and Embracing the True Source of Healing (Get the book.)

"Since the Hoxsey treatment has never been rigorously investigated, the question remains: Was harry hoxsey a hoax, or was he "the quack who cured cancer"? We set off to find out for ourselves. A Formula for Conflict ^3ne afternoon in Mildred's trailer, Catherine and I were relaxing after a strenuous day of filming.

' J ¦ I Even prior to the ill-starred confrontation at the Alexian Brothers Hospital, Hoxsey had gotten on the wrong side of the AMA's bedside manner. Hoxsey and Dr. Fishbein were now fated to play out a highly personal contest that would come to personify the deep rift dividing medicine. Dr. Morris Fishbein rises to national prominence.

"Soon she was painstakingly researching the herbs of harry hoxsey, the nutritional regimen of Dr. Max Gerson, and the BCG vaccine, which related to the turn-of-the-century immunological formulation of William Coley, a famous New York surgeon and cancer researcher.

I went next door to visit Mildred. She was resting in bed, looking very frail, slipping below a hundred pounds. It was unnerving and painful to see her so debilitated; I was accustomed to the zestful woman who walked through walls. Like harry hoxsey, she has lived three lives in one. The strain was finally showing. For all her loving strictness with her patients, she herself makes a lousy patient." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"Barberry made history in cancer treatment when Hoxsey Cancer Formula was marketed from the 1930s to the 1950s by harry hoxsey (Dallas). The formula turned out to be highly controversial. Ironically, Hoxsey died of prostate cancer. He took his formula, but it did not work for him. The Hoxsey formula is still available at the Biomedical Centre in Tijuana, Mexico.

"Mildred Nelson, the woman who was eventually to become Harry Hoxsey's chief nurse, and who is today the most prominent practitioner of the Hoxsey method, was another doubter when she was first introduced to the Hoxsey approach in 1946. Her mother, Delia Mae Nelson, had decided to go to Hoxsey for her cancer, even though Mildred, a conventionally trained nurse, was sure harry hoxsey was a quack, and was vehemently opposed. But Delia Mae Nelson went ahead with the treatment, was cured, and at last report was alive and well nearly 50 years later, having outlived all her doctors." - John Robbins, Reclaiming Our Health: Exploding the Medical Myth and Embracing the True Source of Healing (Get the book.)

"After a lifetime of fighting conventional medicine, harry hoxsey died in 1974. He had developed cancer of the prostate, and some sources refer to how ironic it was that he couldn't cure himself of cancer. However, Ausubel, who researched Harry's history more meticulously than anyone else, says that he did cure himself of his cancer using his own remedy and in fact died of other causes. Paul Peters, M.D., Harry's last doctor of record, adamantly claimed that Harry died of liver trouble and a weak heart. He vehemently said that before his death Harry was free of cancer. But Dr." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.) "These people are difficult to follow up on because they tend to go back home to other countries, so it is not easy to assess whether the treatment still has the same efficacy as it did when it was under Harry Hoxsey's administration. Hopefully, the United States will pass more freedom of medical choice legislation, and this amazing herbal treatment will someday be able to return to its U.S. homeland and be developed and studied further.

"According to Ausubel and others, the biggest reason that harry hoxsey kept getting arrested was because the powerful head of the American Medical Association, Morris Fishbein, was out to get him.

Thereafter, it is well documented that the ruthless Fishbein conducted a personal vendetta against Hoxsey." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)
