William
Hoxsey owned a Percheron
stallion in Madison County, Illinois. The horse developed a sore on its right
hock and, after treatment, the infection spread and
became cancerous. Declining the vet's advice to shoot such a valuable animal, Hoxsey
put it out to graze and waited. Noticing an improvement, Hoxsey
started to monitor the horse's feeding habits.
Three months later, he was able to remove the growth from the horse's leg.
Hoxsey developed the herbal formula and became
famous throughout Illinois, Indiana
and Kentucky
for his cures of cancer,
sores and fistula in horses.
John
C. Hoxsey, grandson of William, modified the
treatment for humans and, under the supervision of doctors in Dallas, started to treat cancer.
Harry, son of John C., was to establish the largest independent cancer treatment
organization in the world with 17 clinics in the USA.
After repeated requests a group of ten independent medical doctors investigated
the treatment and, in 1954, issued a statement:
'This clinic now has under treatment or observation between four and five
thousand cancer patients. It handles approximately ninety patients per day.
Approximately 100 new patients per week come to the Clinic seeking relief, and
the evidence we have seen indicates that approximately 90 percent of these are
terminal cases.
Over the years the Clinic has accumulated more than 10,000 case histories,
photographic studies and X-ray studies from all over the United States, Canada, Alaska,
Mexico, Hawaii, the Central Zone and
elsewhere.
We find as a fact that the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic in Dallas,
Texas, is successfully treating
pathologically proven cases of cancer, both internal and external, without the
use of surgery, radium or X-ray...
Some
of those presented before us have been free of symptoms as long as twenty four
years, and the physical evidence indicates that they are all enjoying
exceptional health at this time...We are willing to assist this Clinic in any
way possible in bringing this treatment to the American public. We are willing
to use it...on our own patients.
The above statement represents the unanimous findings of this Committee. In
testimony thereof we hereby attach our signatures.

A
group of AMA doctor/businessmen offered to buy the formula from Hoxsey,
who agreed, providing that his promise to his father, to always treat patients
who could not afford to pay, was in the deal. The doctors would have none of
this and the campaign to brand Hoxsey as a quack was
born. Repeated attempts by Hoxsey to have the
therapy evaluated were refused by the cancer industry; whilst the media and
political battle raged for decades. One assistant District Attorney arrested Hoxsey
over one hundred times within two years: Hoxsey
merely paid the bail and returned to the clinic. The official changed sides when
his brother was successfully treated for terminal cancer at the Hoxsey
clinic.
As the AMA and the cancer business had failed to stop the therapy, the Food and
Drug Administration were brought in: FDA agents went to patients' homes and
confiscated the medicines upon which the desperate victims depended. Finally,
the FDA padlocked all 17 clinics on the same day. Hoxsey
being unable to take legal action, on this scale, against the government,
decided to go back to his multi-million dollar oil business.
Mildred
Nelson, a Hoxsey nurse, took the treatment to
Tijuana
,
Mexico
in 1963 and changed the
name of the clinic to BioMed. Patients, 90 percent
of whom are officially 'terminal', continue to pour into the clinic, which
maintains a cure rate of around 80 percent.
Johnathon Hartwell, a NCI chemist, confirmed that
all the herbs in the Hoxsey formula had proven
anti-cancer properties.
MACROBIOTICS:
The standard macrobiotic diet consists of 50/60% whole grain cereals, 20/25%
vegetables, 5/10% beans and sea vegetables, 5% soups.
Macrobiotics is a holistic approach to cancer - and life - including the
cultivation of a calm, harmonious approach to society and nature.
'Diet Cured My Killer Cancer'
'...as a doctor I'd never referred any case of cancer to an
"alternative" practitioner. Late in January, I started getting
diarrhea and some intestinal discomfort...an ultrasound scan revealed that I had
cancer of the pancreas...We both knew the diagnosis was, more or less, a death
sentence...I knew the prognosis for my case - it was two to four months survival
from the date of diagnosis...We'd found a hospice in Hampstead and made a
booking.' - Dr. Hugh Faulkner, then aged 74.
'On the advice of a shiatsu masseuse he decided to have a consultation at the
Community Health Foundation to see if macrobiotics "...would improve the
quality of the months remaining to me". Michio Kushi,
the leader of the international macrobiotic movement...took my pulse very
carefully and spent a long time examining my skin...I said "Well, can
macrobiotics cure my cancer?"
"Your body can, he said."
'Now...I am feeling fit and well... I've had full blood counts and there is no
evidence of cancer...they asked me to talk to some GPs on a refresher course.
One of them said, "I don't believe you ever had cancer." So I showed
them my biopsy report and introduced them to my surgeon. They said
"spontaneous regression".
Dr.Faulkner was still alive seven years later.
'Five
years ago Ann Francis...was told by a bully-boy at
Stoke
Manderville
Hospital
that the bladder cancer
(operated on in April 1990) was a "fast-growing" variety which would
be back to the same size within two months if I didn't have radiation! I refused
radiation and told him I proposed to rely on my immune system, whereupon he
said: "You have no immune system." Charming, wasn't it? Some less
well-informed patient might have believed him and really panicked.
THE
B17 COVER-UP:
In 1535 the French explorer Jacques Cartier and his expedition were frozen in
the ice off the
St. Lawrence river. 25 of the 110 crew were
dead from scurvy and the rest were due to follow. At this point a friendly
Native American came forward with a potion made from the needles and bark of the
white pine, rich in ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. This produced a dramatic
recovery.
When Cartier returned to
Europe
and reported to the medical
mandarins they were amused by the 'witch-doctor cures of ignorant savages' and
went on with their search for mystery toxins and bugs lurking in the dark hold
of the ships. 260 years later, after the British Navy alone had lost over a
million men to scurvy, the practice of carrying oranges, lemons and limes on
board ship led to the 'limeys' ruling the waves.
Scurvy - vitamin C; pellagra - vitamin B3; night-blindness - vitamin A; rickets
- vitamin D; beri beri -
vitamin B1; pernicious anemia - vitamin B12. It should have needed no great
intellectual leap to suspect that another chronic, metabolic disease - cancer -
might also be a vitamin-specific deficiency disease.
The use of certain fruit kernels in the treatment of cancer goes back to the
Emperor herbalist Shen Nung
in the 28th century BC. 'Bitter almond water' features in the writings of the
physicians of ancient Egypt, Arabia, Rome
and Greece. Celsus,
Galen, Scribonious Largus,
Pliny the Elder, Avicenna and Marcellus Empiricus
all used preparations based on the seeds of the bitter almond, apricot, peach
etc.35
In 1952 the American biochemist Ernst Krebs PhD proposed that cancer was a
deficiency disease: the deficiency being the factor linked for so long with
cancer therapy. He identified the substance as part of the nitriloside
group specifically, amygdaline, a cyanogenic
glycoside first isolated, from the bitter almond, prunus
amygdalus amara, in 1830
by the French chemists Robiquet and Boutron-Charland.
Its chemical structure is D(1)-mandelonitrile-B-D-glucosido-6-6-B-glucoside,
as recorded in the Merck Index, 1976.
Toxicologically, amygdaline falls between Class 1 and Class 2,36
which means it is virtually non-toxic. This compares with saccharin, between
Class 3 and Class 4 and most 'chemotherapy': Class 6 - super toxic.
The Hunzas, a cancer-free society in the
Himalayas
, consume up to forty
apricot kernels as an after-dinner snack. Coupled with the rest of their
amygdaline-rich diet this constitutes an ingestion of 50 to 70 milligrams of the
substance per day.
According
to Krebs: 'There are many of us in the western world who do not ingest this
amount in the course of an entire year.'
Traditional Eskimos, the Hopi and Navajo tribes, the Abkhasians
of the
Caucasus Mountains
and other notably
cancer-free groups have amygdaline-rich diets.
After taking into account the required factors, Krebs allocated his substance
the next available number on the vitamin B index: 17. He named his concentrated
amygdaline preparation, Laetrile.
As many of the world's cancer-free societies are outside of the polluted
environment and distinctly advantaged in the quest to remain healthy, a group of
Americans began, in the 1950s, to test Krebs' theory:
'For over two decades there has been a steadily-growing group of people who have
accepted the vitamin theory of cancer and who have altered their diets
accordingly. They represent all walks of life, all ages, both sexes, and reside
in almost every advanced nation of the world. It is estimated that there are
many thousands in the United States
alone. It is significant,
therefore, that after starting and maintaining a diet rich in vitamin B17, none
of these people have ever been known to contract cancer.'37
Dr. Dean Burk, then head of the NCI, said he had been contacted, during the
space of 12 months, by at least 750 people, including many MD physicians most of
whom were 'using it (B17) merely with prevention of development of cancer in
view.'38
One of the first doctors to use Laetrile in the control of cancer was Dr.
Maurice Kowan. This landed him in court in
Los Angeles
. The prosecutor told the
jury: 'This is not a kindly old man. This is the most thoroughly evil person the
imagination can concoct...This man has to be stopped. He is very dangerous. The
way to stop him is a guilty verdict.'39 Dr Kowan was
heavily fined and, at the age of 70, sentenced to two months in prison.
The basis used by the cancer mafia for the attack on Dr. Kowan
was a falsified report produced by two doctors,
Garland
and MacDonald in 1953. The
two, who had ideal credentials by way of their being involved in surgery and
radiation and in the promotion of cigarettes as a health measure, produced a
report which stated that no evidence of anti-cancer changes were observed by the
consultants using Laetrile: a report found, later, to be demonstrably fraudulent
but which has been quoted religiously by vested cancer interests.
Nemesis took her revenge in appropriate fashion on the two, one with lung cancer
and one in a fire suspected as being caused by a cigarette.
Dr. John A. Richardson began to use B17 in the summer of 1971. His first patient
was the sister of one of his nurses: a case of advanced malignant melanoma of
the arm. She had been given around six weeks to live with a little longer if she
had the arm amputated.
Amygdaline was administered and almost immediately the lesions began to heal.
Within two months her arm had returned to normal…'39
The woman was also a diabetic who, after the
treatment, controlled her disease without insulin. When she returned to her
original doctor he still wanted to amputate: she declined the offer.
AVOID:
All
animal foods not organically grown - meat, milk, cheese, butter, eggs,
fish...and the derivatives - whey, egg albumen, gelatin...etc. These products
are a fibreless mixture of saturated fats, cholesterol, steroid
growth-promoters/vaccine/antibiotic/ pesticide/herbicide etc. residues, mastitis
pus, disinfectant, salmonella, listeria,
campylobacter, E coli 0157, etc., etc…
Refined carbohydrates - sugar, white flour, bread, biscuits, cakes etc.
Synthetic food additives-preservatives, colorants, etc. READ THE LABELS
Food
prepared or contained in aluminum, copper, non-stick cookware or prepared in
microwave ovens; smoked foods; very hot food and drinks.
Use salt, celery, parsley, parsnips, deep-fried foods…in strict moderation.
Utensils washed in washing-up liquid must be very thoroughly rinsed; in
preference, use washing soda, soap flakes etc.
EAT:
Organically-grown, if possible, fruit, vegetables, peas, beans, rice:
chemically-grown carrots are out. Non-organic cabbage, broccoli, sprouts,
mushrooms etc. should be boiled for a couple of minutes in salted water, drained
and rinsed, then cooked. Lettuce and similar foods which cannot be cleansed with
this process or peeled should be home-grown or avoided.
Emphasize
raw foods; whole grain breads, miso.
Ezekiel
Bread and Essene Breads are considered to be such
excellent sources of ALL the needed vitamins, minerals and proteins, that on
those breads alone along with purified water, a person can live and gain health.
Eat B17 foods regularly - seeds of apricot, peach, plum, cherry, apple; sprouted
alfalfa, mung and wheat seeds; millet, lentils,
watercress, lima beans, blackeyed peas, broccoli,
cabbage, buckwheat, flax seed, linseed etc.
Garlic is the supreme plant from a physician's and a cook's point of view: eat
it raw, cooked: grow it: use it as a medicine for everything from cancer and
tuberculosis to coughs, colds, infections, high blood pressure, whooping cough,
chemical/heavy metal/radiation detoxification etc., etc.
Use
some form of water filter if only a jug type: areas where fluoride-waste has
been dumped in the public drinking water supply will require reverse osmosis or
distillation to remove the chemical.
Look
after the liver: take the juice of a lemon in water on rising; wait a half hour
before taking breakfast.
Fast
one or two days per month on purified water or pure fruit juice; or per week if
the will power is there.
THE
GREEN DRINK:
Gather
unpolluted nettles, dandelion, chickweed, nasturtium, carrot tops, cabbage etc.;
wash well, blend with water, put through coarse sieve, drink: put the residue,
in small amounts, in the dog's/cat's meal and help avoid the vet's bills and a
sick/prematurely-dead animal - from the effects of the vet's treatment.
Chew
all food thoroughly and slowly; without distraction from the television, radio,
newspapers or relatives.
Alcoholic drinks, preferably organically produced, in moderation and in the
evenings can be immuno-supportive and a relatively
safe, effective soporific, cleanser and sedative.
Prof. Aviles, of the Mexican Cancer Biochemistry Dept., saw 7,715 cancer patients over
15 years: 99% suffered chronic constipation, the degree of malignancy parallel
to the intensity of the constipation. Colon
cleanliness is
fundamentality important to the prevention of cancer and other chronic,
degenerative diseases: anyone on Doctor's Balanced Diet or worse, for decades,
might well be carrying 5 to 25 pounds - or more - of rotting waste in the colon;
poisoning and robbing the system of nutrients. A
herbal/ nutritional cleansing regime will remove the residue in time.
HERBS:
Herbal treatments are part of the nutritional approach to cancer control. Other
than garlic and cayenne, specifics for cancer include red clover, periwinkle,
yellow dock, dandelion, mistletoe, violet, blue flag, purple cone flower, golden
seal, sage, etc. - as part of a total holistic package.
The
full, original ESSIAC formula contains sheep's sorrel, Turkish rhubarb, burdock,
slippery elm, water cress, kelp, red clover and blessed thistle. The first four
are the ones used, usually, today. Proprietary brands may have substitutes in
their formulae.
Herbs
should be bought from a reliable source, with guarantees that they have not been
fumigated or irradiated.
Herb mixtures need to be prepared carefully with regard to the instructions laid
down by those experienced in their usage. They work slowly, with the inherent
healing force, to restore harmony within the body.
FURTHER
INFORMATION:
Wear cotton or other natural material next to the skin. Expose the eyes to
natural light as often as possible, without spectacles or contact lenses.
THE
OUTER LAYERS:
Health is multi-dimensional: harmony is needed on all the planes; physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual. Continued stress, whether it be
caused by cigarette smoke or memories of childhood unhappiness, will, if the
pre-disposition is there, lead to a breakdown of the cancer control mechanism.
Suppressed
negative emotions - grief, resentment, jealousy, anger, fear...can
poison just as effectively as junk food or junk medicine or environmental
pollution.
The
difference between what is important and what is less so must be understood:
important things are smelling flowers, talking to cats and dogs, watching
insects, standing in the woodland stream, writing and reading poetry...
