Blaming an alternative cancer clinic for the death of a patient who was terminal when they walked in the door is like suing an auto body shop worker for damaging the car you towed in after it was totaled in a high-speed collision. The press, as usual, is blaming the wrong party. But someone has to play the propaganda role in the grand effort to suppress health freedom, right?
If there's one thing conventional cancer clinics are good at, though, it's making sure patients are evicted BEFORE they die. |

Organized medicine's scorched-earth campaign to eradicate unorthodox cancer therapies was a success by 1960, when the last tattered vestige of the Hoxsey cancer clinic closed its doors forever in the United States. Or so it seemed.
Mexican Standoff
^y\/hile filming at the Tijuana Hoxsey clinic, we met Fred Walsh, a patient first treated in Dallas in 1958 for cancer of the forehead and nose. He recalled going over to see the now absent former owner, Harry Hoxsey. "I met him in the Oilman's Building on the expressway, and I had quite a visit. |

The Tijuana cancer clinic kidnapping
Jimmy Keller cured his own cancer through the use of natural medicine therapies. Encouraged by success with his own cancer, he pursued a career in natural medicine and later moved to Mexico and opened a clinic that could legally treat U.S. patients with the disease (treating cancer naturally is illegal in the United States, so the best practitioners are forced to open clinics in Mexico or other countries). The success of this clinic caught the eye of health authorities in the United States, and they decided to put a stop to it. |

We find as fact that our investigation has demonstrated to our satisfaction that the Hoxsey cancer clinic is successfully treating pathologically proven cases of cancer, both internal and external. We as a committee feel that the Hoxsey treatment is superior to such conventional methods of treatment as X-ray, radium, and surgery. We are willing to use it in our office, in our practice on our own patients, when at our discretion it is deemed necessary. |
| After his father's death, Harry founded the first Hoxsey cancer clinic in 1924, heralded by the local chamber of commerce and high school marching bands on Main Street.1
So begins the Hoxsey legend, and with it the thirty-five-year cancer war between organized medicine and the folk healer. Orthodox medicine branded Hoxsey the worst cancer quack of the century. He would be arrested more times than any other person in medical history.
Yet by the 1950s Hoxsey's stronghold in Dallas, Texas, grew to be the world's largest privately owned cancer center, with branches spreading to seventeen states. |
| Baker identified himself as operating a cancer clinic using unorthodox methods in Muscatine, Iowa. Hoxsey had heard Baker on the radio station he owned that broadcast throughout the Midwest. Baker wanted a demonstration of the treatment and offered him a job if it showed results. Hoxsey drove up the next day to the Baker Hospital on the banks of the Mississippi River.

| He began remodeling an office for a Hoxsey cancer clinic in the Hawley Building on the tenth floor next to Radio WWVA, where he bought a broadcasting contract. He invaded the newspapers with ads depicting a folk-art cartoon history of his life, which was smoothly evolving into populist fable. His third wife, a "sassy redhead" named Eva Ruth, opened the offices, while Hoxsey refurbished the furniture and walls, which he striped in black. Before the clinic could open, he was arrested on charges instituted by the Ohio State Medical Society, which had already been in touch with Dr. |
| I have learned that your reason for calling me is because my wife was treated for cancer at the Hoxsey cancer clinic, generally considered a quack institution. I use 'quack' purposely because, since your Board was created in 1907, the AMA has looked upon all irregulars as quacks. But because I decided not to let my wife be destroyed by cancer and encouraged her to go to an irregular institution where she got beneficial treatment, I was told to give up my time and go to the expense of appearing before your Board and explaining my personal affairs. |

The next visit to his cancer clinic in Germany three months later (much to the doctors' surprise, as they didn't expect to see him alive) revealed no trace of kidney cancer or any other disease, and after 14 years he is as healthy and active as ever.
Spontaneous remissions rarely occur spontaneously or for no apparent reason. The body regards cancer as an emotional and physical obstruction that can be overcome through a healing crisis and cleansing on all levels of body, mind and spirit. |

By then, Peters had left the Dana-Farber to build a prestigious breast cancer clinic at Duke University Medical Center, where he would train the next generation of transplanters. As more and more doctors began trying their hand at high-dose chemo, stories began appearing in the media, adding to the growing sense of hope in breast cancer support groups. Nearly all of the stories followed the same format. The dying patient was cast as a victim of both her breast cancer and her insurance company. |

MacCormick of the Cape Breton cancer clinic at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, writes that chemotherapy is only a secondary treatment for breast cancer and while it claims a 30% improvement in long-term overall survival, it "demonstrates significantly less absolute improvement." What Dr. MacCormick is saying is that chemotherapy is very harmful in itself. Long-term side effects include a decline in mental function, muscle and bone complications such as early onset of osteoporosis, premature aging of the skin and eyes as well as profound fatigue.

| An acquaintance of the family who went to Mexico to undergo treatment at a border cancer clinic recommends that he try it. They make phone calls to ask what it would cost for Manny to receive care there. But Manny doesn't go to Mexico because the oncologist gives them new hope. He says there is a new drug, Avastin (a drug that inhibits growth of new blood vessels that feeds tumors), and many patients on it are surviving much longer. The doctor orders the expensive drug after having gained approval from Manny's health plan. |

Every cancer clinic in the world would virtually go bankrupt and out of business. The manufacturers of chemotherapy would be bankrupt. Billions of dollars in profits would be lost. Oh yes, millions of people's lives would be saved, but that's the craziness that's going on in today's society—who cares about lives, we're talking about money here.
There are many machines that use this technology. Practitioners who use this technology have to do so underground; they cannot say that they are using it. |

Then, in 1924, when Harry was only 23 years old, he opened the first official Hoxsey cancer clinic in Dallas. It was operational into the 1950s and eventually became the biggest private cancer center in the world.
The Hoxsey therapy was mostly known for its success with external tumors on the surface of the body. People with external cancers were treated with an herbal paste applied directly onto the tumor and given a liquid herbal tonic to drink as well. People with internal cancer that showed no external signs were just given the tonic. |
| With the supervision of some doctors who supported her work, she was able to leave the hospital and start up her own cancer clinic in Bracebridge, Canada. She was 33 years old at the time. From 1934 to 1942, Rene Caisse treated thousands of cancer patients who had no other hope. Though she never claimed her treatment was a cure, it turned out to be just that for many people. Caisse's own mother developed liver cancer at one point and Rene put her on Essiac. Her mother recovered and went on to live another 18 years.
Most people who tried Essiac came to it as a last resort. |
| Gerson was not able to see his effective cancer treatment accepted by mainstream medicine, he moved his cancer clinic to southern California and tirelessly continued to treat patients until his death in 1959. His cancer therapy is still being offered today at a facility in San Diego called the Gerson Institute. This nonprofit organization is run by Gerson's daughter, Charlotte Gerson. Charlotte Gerson is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in her father's treatment approach, and cancer patients flock from different parts of the world to her facility. |

She resolved to take charge of her own health and visited an "alternative" cancer clinic in San Diego where she received treatments that included megavitamins, BCG vaccine (bacillus Calmette-Guerin, a drug used to treat tuberculosis that is also used against certain types of cancer), and a phytonutrient-rich vegetarian diet. She continued researching the role of nutrients in helping the body heal from cancer. Slowly but surely, she discovered how the body uses the power locked inside phytofoods and vitamins to heal itself (Table 5.5). |

The Hoxsey cancer clinic was founded in Dallas, which became a mecca for the herbal treatment of that disease. However, he received such persecution from the American Medical Association that he was persuaded to sign a contract transferring to them his herbal formulae, medicines and ointments, and to abandon his practice. This he did in good faith but the opposition continued. Worn out by long prison sentences for practising medicine without a licence, he died a broken man. |

By the 1950s, the Hoxsey cancer clinic in Dallas was the world's largest private cancer center, with branches in seventeen states. Born in Illinois, the charismatic practitioner of herbal folk medicine faced unrelenting opposition and harassment from a hostile medical establishment. Nevertheless, two federal courts upheld the 'therapeutic value' of Hoxsey's internal tonic. Even his archenemies, the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration, admitted that his treatment could cure some forms of cancer. |

Mesna emerged from a nonconventional cancer clinic, but is now accepted around the world. It is not necessary to cite dozens of studies showing that mesna is a safe and effective adjunct to ifosfamide. So here's another instance in which a powerful antioxidant not only does not interfere with chemotherapy but is routinely used alongside it by all oncologists who use ifosfamide.

The next day there were headlines in the Springfield newspapers, "FAKE cancer clinic RAIDED!" and "DOWNSTATE MURDER MILL RAIDED!" Oddly, no such raid had taken place—the mere fact that the AMA wished it, made it so. This was typical of the kind of problems that Hoxsey's enemies were able to generate for him over the next forty years.
In 1928, Hoxsey was sued by most of his brothers and sisters who saw his success and now wanted a share in the family formulas. (They had shown no interest in these before Hoxsey transformed them into a successful business. |

I stopped in a cancer clinic filled with farmers and their wives. I was the only person under age fifty, and felt very out of place. My skin hurt; my chemo-irritated eyes felt like they were burning out of my head; my lungs, scorched during radiation, made it painful to inhale. The doctor said that my immune system was so compromised from chemo that if my fever reached 101° F, I would have to check myself immediately into the local hospital. I'd faxed the results of tests to my oncologist back home, but he'd misread them and never called me back. |

Detectives conducting the probe yesterday said they may have only scratched the surface of a drug sales operation covering several states and Mexico.... |
| Headlines screamed: cancer clinic RING SEIZED IN CALIFORNIA. The public was led to believe that the FDA had launched a daring raid on one of the most dangerous and despicable criminals of the twentieth century smuggling "illicit drugs" into the country and preying upon innocent, helpless, and desperate cancer victims.
It said:
California food and drug agents moved this week to break up what they described as an "underground railroad" that has been transporting cancer victims into Mexico for treatment with a drug that is banned in the United States and Canada. |
