למי ששאלה על הוקסי

שרק לא נהפוך לאמריקה, בישראל אנחנו הרבה יותר מתקדמים מהבחינה הזו: http://www.newstarget.com/019852.html

הוקסי, שהיה כורה פחם, זכה לתואר של אחד מהשרלטנים הגדולים של הרפואה במאה הקודמת. טיפוליו אינם יעילים ואף מזיקים. הוא עצמו נפטר מסרטן הערמונית. http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69258.cfm Hoxsey was convicted numerous times for practicing medicine without a license; the U.S. government reported that the 400 patients Hoxsey claimed to have cured never had cancer, were cured before receiving his treatment, still had cancer, OR had died from the disease (2). The National Cancer Institute evaluated 77 case reports submitted by Hoxsey AND concluded that none showed efficacy (5). No clinical data supports the value of this therapy. Patients should be urged not to use the Hoxsey method. ------------------------------------------- Hoxsey Treatment Naturopath Harry Hoxsey promoted an herbal treatment consisting of an externally used paste OR powder AND a tonic taken orally. The external preparations contained corrosive agents such as arsenic sulfide. The internal medicine, said to be adjusted on a case-by-case basis, contained potassium iodide AND such things as red clover, licorice, burdock root, Stillingia root, Berberis root, pokeroot, cascara, prickly ash bark, AND buckthorn bark. Hoxsey said that the formulas were developed in 1840 by his great grandfather AND passed to him by his father while the latter was dying of cancer. Hoxsey's treatment was offered at clinics in the United States from 1924 until repeated clashes with the FDA led him to close his main clinic in Dallas in the late 1950s. In 1963, Hoxsey's former chief nurse Mildred Nelson began offering it at a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico [22]. Hoxsey himself contracted prostate cancer in 1967 AND underwent surgery after treating himself unsuccessfully with his tonic. Most of the herbs in the tonic have been tested for antitumor activity in cancer, with negligible results for a few AND no results for the others. Some of these herbs, most notably pokeroot, have toxic side effects. The NCI evaluated case reports submitted by Hoxsey AND concluded that no assessment was possible because the records did not contain adequate information [23]. Hoxsey died in 1974. Nelson died in January 1999.
