Arrested Over 200 Times for One Reason: Curing Cancer

Meet Harry Hoxsey, renowned herbalist and owner of the largest privately ran cancer treatment center in the USA during the 1950s. Consisting of more than 17 branches nationwide, he opened his first cancer center in 1924, expanded quickly and cured thousands of people of cancer during his 30 years in business.

 

The story goes that John Hoxsey, Harry's grandfather, once had a horse that had cancer. He noticed that after getting cancer this horse would always graze around a certain area of the pasture where a certain kind of plants grew, plants that normally the horses wouldn't eat. Eventually, due to eating those specific plants, the horse was cancer free. I don't know how true that part of the story is, it sounds like a legend to me, but it doesn't matter if it's true or not because Harry's grandfather did in fact develop an herbal formula that he treated sick horses with and had great success with it. When he passed away the formula was passed down to Harry's dad who started treating humans with it. Harry eventually became the member of the family to use the formula on a large-scale basis, having great success at curing many thousands of people from cancer. The Hoxsey internal tonic consists of:

 

- Barberry Root

- Buckthorn Bark

- Burdock Root

- Cascara Sagrada

- Licorice Root

- Poke Berries and Root

- Potassium Iodide

- Prickly Ash Bark

- Red Clover Blossoms

- Stillingia Root

 

He stated that tomatoes, alcohol, processed flour and vinegar could possibly negate the formula’s effects and advised against consuming those while on the program.

 

Harry Hoxsey was a very outgoing and confident person. He went on TV to advertise his clinics, and when he faced criticism he'd publicly challenge the medical authorities to come to his clinic and prove him wrong.

 

“All I want is to have them come here – the American Medical Association, the Pure Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Government, anybody – come here and make an investigation and if I do not prove to them beyond any question of a doubt that our treatment is superior to radium x-ray and surgery then I will lock the doors of this institution forever.”

 

Of course they never accepted the challenge. Instead they continually harassed him and had him arrested more than 200 times for “practicing medicine without a license.”

 

District Attorney Al Templeton, perhaps Harry's biggest critic, had him arrested more than 100 times, that is until his brother developed cancer and was cured at one of Harry's clinics. He had tried chemotherapy and radiation without success. He then secretly went to Harry and was cured. Al Templeton was so moved by it that he went from continually prosecuting Harry to becoming his Defense Attorney!

 

In 1954 an independent team of 10 physicians visited Harry's clinic in Dallas for a two-day inspection. They reviewed case histories, medical records and spoke with patients. At the end of their visit they issued an official statement declaring that the clinic was “successfully treating pathologically proven cases of cancer, both internal and external, without the use of surgery, radium or x-ray.”

 

At one point, Morris Fishbein, the head of the American Medical Association and editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, tried to purchase the rights to Harry's herbal formula. If that isn't an admission that Harry's formula was effective then what is? If it didn't work then why purchase it? The bottom line is that they knew if Harry's clinics got too big it would destroy their entire cancer empire but their attempt to get the formula from Harry was met by a flat no answer. Harry wasn't a sucker. He knew that if he sold them the formula it would never see the light of day again, it would be tucked away and hidden forever. He knew that the only reason they'd want to buy it from him was to eliminate their competition. He didn't fall for it. Harry was an honest man who wasn't interested in making money from his formula. He already had money, he was an oil millionaire. He treated everyone who came to his clinics regardless of their ability to pay. He didn't want people to go without treatment, he wanted to help people, therefore he rejected the offer to sell it.

 

From that point forward Fishbein put out articles in the medical journals insulting his herbal formula calling it “worthless weeds” and basically slandering him every chance he got. A massive smear campaign was launched against Harry because if they couldn't buy him out they'd have to do it by any other means necessary. Below is an actual flyer put out by the FDA during their smear campaign. Eventually Harry became known as “the biggest cancer quack of the century” due to their lies and false propaganda. Harry sued Morris Fishbein for slander and won, forcing him to resign from the American Medical Association but the damage done to Harry's clinics was too much to repair. Harry eventually closed down all of his clinics and moved his main clinic to Tijuana, Mexico. Harry passed away in 1974 but his clinic is still open to this very day under new proprietorship. It's called the Hoxsey Biomedical Center and their website is at HoxseyBioMedical.com.
