About This Archive

Purpose

This independent archive preserves documents about Harry Hoxsey and explains one of America's enduring alternative-cancer-treatment controversies. It is a history and evidence project, not a clinic, patient-referral service, or treatment advocate.

Editorial standard

• Distinguish claims from verified facts.
• Label memoirs, testimonials, advocacy reports, court records, laboratory studies, and clinical trials by source type.
• Represent legal holdings precisely.
• Do not infer that an ingredient's biological activity proves a mixture treats cancer.
• Correct consequential errors openly in the repository history.

Medical-safety policy

We do not provide preparation quantities for caustic products, collect treatment testimonials, refer readers to Hoxsey providers, or suggest delaying standard care. Authoritative medical sources are prioritized whenever a claim could affect a health decision.

Not medical advice

Nothing here diagnoses or treats disease. People with cancer or a suspicious lesion should consult qualified clinicians. Supplements and herbs should be discussed with the oncology team because they can cause toxicity and treatment interactions.

Contact and corrections

Corrections should identify the page, disputed statement, and strongest available source. Evidence that changes the conclusion—not merely evidence that repeats a claim—is especially valuable.
