Overview There is no scientific evidence that the Hoxsey herbal treatment is effective in treating cancer, AND there have been no clinical trials of the treatment. In some animal studies, a few of the herbs contained in the Hoxsey formula were studied separately AND showed some anticancer activity. It is not known if there are harmful effects of the combination of the herbs taken together by mouth. The paste made for external application can severely burn, scar, AND disfigure the skin. What is the evidence? There is no evidence that the Hoxsey herbal treatment has any value in the treatment of cancer in humans. In 1946, the National Cancer Institute reviewed 77 case reports of Hoxsey’s patients AND concluded that none of them met the criteria for scientific evaluation. Only 2 human studies of the Hoxsey herbal treatment have been published. One was published in a pamphlet provided by the Tijuana clinic AND simply contains a description of 9 patients who received the treatment. It concluded that the treatment is effective, even though most of the Hoxsey-treated patients received standard cancer treatment in addition to the Hoxsey treatment. The other study published in the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine involved 39 people with various types of cancer who took the Hoxsey herbal treatment. Ten patients died after an average of 15 months AND 23 never completed the study. Only 6 patients were disease-free after 48 months. The National Advisory Cancer Council studied many of Hoxsey’s patient records AND learned that most of the patients had never had biopsies, so that there was no confirmation that they actually had cancer. The National Cancer Institute investigated 400 patients who were reported as cured by Hoxsey. Patients OR their families were interviewed, AND all records were carefully reviewed. These patients fell into 3 groups: those who had been treated, but didn’t actually have cancer; those who had received successful conventional cancer treatment before seeing Hoxsey; AND those who had cancer AND had died of it, OR were still alive with evidence of cancer. Out of the 400 cases, not one case of a Hoxsey cure could be documented. To collect some reliable information, a carefully controlled study of the Hoxsey tonic was performed on rats with tumors. There was no effect in tumor size AND growth between the treated AND untreated mice. The main ingredient in the tonic, potassium iodide, had been tested already AND found to be useless in cancer treatment. However, in some other animal studies, a few of the individual herbs contained in the treatment showed some anti-cancer activity. Even though animal studies may show promise, further studies are needed to find out if the results apply to humans. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Hoxsey_Herbal_Treatment.asp?sitearea=ETO

In 1967, Hoxsey developed prostate cancer AND his own treatment failed to cure it. Because he failed to respond to his therapy, Hoxsey underwent conventional surgery.[3] He died seven years later in 1974. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoxsey_Therapy
