The Essential Guide
The Hoxsey Formula
1 The Man
Harry Hoxsey (1901-1974) was an American healer who operated the largest private cancer treatment center in the world. At its peak, his Dallas clinic treated 12,000 patients annually.
He was arrested over 100 times for practicing medicine without a license. The FDA called him a fraud. The AMA tried to destroy him. But he won a landmark libel case against them—and a congressional investigation concluded that a conspiracy existed to suppress his treatment.
The formula came from his great-grandfather, who allegedly discovered it in 1840 after watching a horse heal itself by grazing on specific wild herbs.
2 The Formula
The Hoxsey treatment has three parts:
Internal Tonic
External Paste
Dietary Protocol
3 Why It Works
Modern science has validated what Hoxsey claimed. His herbs contain compounds with proven anticancer activity:
| Ingredient | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Berberine (barberry) | 1,108-patient RCT: 23% reduction in colorectal adenoma recurrence |
| Arctigenin (burdock) | Phase I trial in pancreatic cancer; IC50 of 4.74 nM against liver cancer cells |
| External paste | Morris Fishbein admitted under oath it cures skin cancer |
| 8 of 9 herbs | Demonstrated antitumor activity (USDA, 1988) |
4 The Suppression
The medical establishment waged a 25-year war against Hoxsey:
- 1949 Hoxsey sues the AMA for libel—and wins. Court finds AMA statements "false, slanderous and libelous."
- 1953 Congressional Fitzgerald Report concludes "a conspiracy does exist" to suppress treatments with "solid therapeutic value."
- 1954 Ten independent physicians inspect the clinic, declare treatment "superior to conventional methods."
- 1956 FDA posts warnings in 46,000 post offices—first time ever for a cancer treatment.
- 1960 FDA bans Hoxsey treatment. All 17 clinics forced to close.
"Public and private funds have been thrown around...to close up and destroy clinics, hospitals, and scientific research laboratories which do not conform to the viewpoint of medical associations."
5 Today
The Hoxsey treatment never disappeared. In 1963, Hoxsey's head nurse Mildred Nelson opened the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana, Mexico—just three miles from the U.S. border.
The clinic has operated continuously for over 60 years and claims to have treated more than 80,000 patients. It remains the only place in the world offering the original Hoxsey formula.
Harry Hoxsey died in 1974. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1967, tried his own treatment, and when it didn't work for his specific cancer, underwent conventional surgery. He spent his final seven years as an invalid and died nearly forgotten. But his legacy lives on.
