"The Hoxsey therapy was started in 1840, when it was used on a horse with a cancerous sore on its leg. This formula was passed down through the Hoxsey family and has been used internally and externally on humans for more than fifty years. Mildred Nelson, R.N., now operated this clinic [Bio-Medical Centre], which has been in Tijuana since 1963 and formerly was run by the late Harry Hoxsey." (Fink 1997)
Hoxsey was "convicted three times in the 1920s for practicing medicine without a license. In 1930, he was permanently enjoined from violating the Iowa medical practice act. In the 1950s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration forced him to stop seeing patients." (CA 1993)
Hoxsey's treatment for cancer was based on a formula of ten weeds growing in a field where Hoxsey's grandfather's horse had grazed and been cured of a reported leg cancer. (Janssen)
After being prosecuted for violating the medical practice laws of several states, Hoxsey set up a 'clinic' in Dallas, Texas. (Janssen)
Hoxsey developed prostate cancer in 1967 and treated himself unsuccessfully with his tonic. He eventually underwent conventional surgery. He died in 1974. (Hafner)
