The Hoxsey Formula

Yesterday we got a glimpse into life after pancreatic cancer...

... abundant, health-full living... free of cancer.

Today we learn a little more about Pamela's treatment and dig into some nitty-gritty details! 

The therapy that was mentioned in Pamela's interview is called The Hoxsey Formula.

The formula used today has been around a long time... developed in the mid 1800's by Mr. Hoxsey.  And interesting to note, it actually began as a treatment for cancer in one of his horses.  What was a successful treatment in the equine field soon became a successful treatment for those of the human kind suffering with cancers, malignancies, and other inflammatory diseases.

The remedies and herbal therapies have been passed down through the years and are now offered at The Hoxsey BioMedical Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico.

This excerpt from the Hoxsey Clinic website briefly explains the diagnostic and treatment methods used in their practice:

"The treatments available at Bio-Medical Center include natural herbs, special diet, vitamins and minerals, lifestyle counseling, positive attitude, and conventional medical treatments when indicated. Modern diagnostic methods include extensive laboratory analysis, X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, and others as needed for your case. Once an accurate diagnosis has been made, the doctors will outline a special program that works to strengthen the impaired immune system. By rebalancing and normalizing your metabolism, the treatments at Bio-Medical Center give your body a chance to heal itself often without resorting to more toxic debilitating treatments."

Many would call this an integrated or holistic approach to healing the body of disease and cancer.

And Pamela would agree.  Their use of conventional methods along with the effective use of herbal, diet and lifestyle therapies seem to have made the difference in her pancreatic cancer fight.

In The Truth About Cancer, Ty shared his experience after visiting with the staff and doctors at the Hoxsey Biomedical Clinic.  The article is a worthy read, and goes into much more detail about The Hoxsey Formula and the premise behind its success... You can read it here.

In part, Ty shares that "...Hoxsey’s understanding of cancer was that it is a systemic disease created from metabolic imbalances that needed to be restored. His tonics were meant to help create homeostasis (internal stability), kill cancer cells, and remove the toxins created from killing cancer cells. This perspective is in line with almost all natural cancer treatments and practitioners.  Today, the BioMedical Center (just across the Mexican border from San Diego) has doctors that diagnose and prescribe only natural remedies in addition to Hoxsey’s tonics and salves. These natural cancer remedies include homeopathy, laetrile, Montana Yew extract, and dietary recommendations.  "

At one time, Harry Hoxsey operated throughout the United States and had, perhaps, one of the largest group of alternative cancer clinics.  However, over the years the American Medical Association (AMA) made several attempts to stop him from curing cancer patients, accusing him of practicing medicine without a license.

He won a libel lawsuit in 1950 against AMA head Morris Fishbein and the powerful Hearst Publications group, but not a decade later the FDA shut him down and that is when the Hoxsey Clinic moved to Tijuana, Mexico.

So, is The Hoxsey Formula the real deal?

Was he a quack?  Or a healer?

The testimonies of those his formula have healed is long and continues to grow.

The testimonies of those pancreatic cancer warriors that chemotherapy and radiation have healed is painfully short and is. not. growing.

Might the Hoxsey Formula be an option then in the pancreatic cancer fight?

Perhaps so...

For more in-depth information I would encourage you to head over to their website and research it until you can check it off the list or check it out in person:

Could this be the option you are looking for?

A Pancreatic Cancer Success Story...

When we began our 31 Day Challenge: The Truth About Cancer, I was so excited to share a little hope for those walking this cancer road.  The following interview with Ty Bollinger from The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest is just that: living, breathing, joyful hope... A pancreatic cancer survivor that is flourishing 40 years from her diagnosis!

Friends, come meet Pamela Kelsey:

Ty: I’m here at the BioMedical Center, the Hoxsey clinic, with Pam Kelsey. I so thank you for joining us today. I’m so grateful to be able to get your story because you had a very difficult type of cancer to treat, didn’t you?

Pam: I did.

Ty: Tell us your story, Pam.

Pam: I actually had two. I started with cancer of the pancreas.

Ty: Pancreatic cancer.

Pam: Pancreatic cancer.

Ty: Very difficult cancer to treat.

Pam: Very horrible.

Ty: What year was this?

Pam: This was 1975. Way back. I was 34.

Ty: Forty years ago.

Pam: Yes, 40 years ago. I first was diagnosed with some hypoglycemia. I started having low blood sugar problems and finally it got worse and worse, terrible pain through my abdomen. A friend had been to Hoxsey, as it was called in those days, and she had a friend who was cured of inoperable colon cancer.
So she recommended that I see the clinic. So we came down immediately and I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. They said I was fortunate because it was just beginning, just starting to go into the intestinal area. It was really good to know.
I felt like I was in good hands because they showed me the x-rays of exactly what was going on. And it was just a day, just like now. They still have the same regimen. You’ll get your tonic, they gave me supplements. At that time they giving yeast, vitamin C, calcium, and digestive enzymes. They said in three months I should start to feel better. I was just in intense pain, it was really right through my middle, which I understand is a symptom of pancreatic cancer, just like having a knife go through to your back.

Ty: So you had stomach pain and back pain?

Pam: Yes. It was just like right through the center. And it came out in the back, like literally going through the middle of my chest. And so I went home, started the treatment. I was very religious about what I did. I checked with Mildred Nelson, who was very good to me. If I had questions, I’d call her up, she’d immediately tell me what to do. So within about three months, it was actually almost three months to the day, I noticed a change. I didn’t have to take as much pain medication for my headaches. My abdomen started to feel better. I started being able to digest food better. And gradually, from that period of time, I just felt better and better.

Ty: That’s really fascinating. I mean, that’s fast. Three months with pancreatic cancer. Which many people are dead in three months from pancreatic cancer.

Pam: I know. I followed people that have had pancreatic cancer over the years. Jack Benny had it, and with all the doctors and money he had, he didn’t know he had it until it was too late. Michael Landon had it, Steve Jobs, different people that - it’s very hard to treat and very low success for recovery.

Ty: I don’t know anyone that has had pancreatic cancer that has treated it conventionally that’s still alive.

Pam: I don’t either. Over all the years
.
Ty: And you’re alive 40 years later. That’s amazing.

Pam: I know, it is, truly. And to have those symptoms, like I said, the pain. And to know that it was just so deadly. And so then I was clear all the years, until 2011. In 2011, I’d had a good physical in January, but I noticed that my abdomen started feeling tighter and tighter. I felt like maybe it was back pain, or just something muscular. But it got tighter and tighter. And I started to have pain on my right side, right in the middle of my right side. So I got more concerned about it. The pain started getting gradually worse and on a Friday afternoon I thought, “This is to the point where it isn’t my imagination, I better find out about this.” So I called a nurse that was a friend and she suggested that I get to the hospital because it could be appendicitis, it could be a number of things.
So I knew it was too late to come down to BioMedical. So my husband and I got in the car and drove to St. John’s hospital, which I had also for medical reasons, I had checked with some of the doctors there.
It was a renowned hospital. Elizabeth Taylor went there, Michael Jackson. It was a very well-known hospital, and very reputable. It was a Friday afternoon. I had more symptoms, called a nurse, she said I should get to the hospital to find out what was going on. So my husband and I got in the car, drove to St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, and told them what was going on. They gave me a CT scan and sent me home because it was the weekend and said to follow up with the doctor on Monday.
So the pain got worse and worse. I called on Monday. I told him what was going on. He said, “Let me call you right back.” He read the report and he said, “You need to get to the hospital right away.” I said, “Do you think I have cancer?” And then he said, “I think you have what you said.” So I knew that I wasn’t going to go for further treatment. I said, “Let me think about it.” And my husband and I immediately came down to the clinic, got the CT scan here. And Dr. Gutierrez, my old family friend, he informed me that 50 percent of the liver was affected by 22 lesions. And they were up to - St. John’s hospital had done the CT scan and they found a number of lesions.
They said they were up to 3.9 centimeters, and they were hypoechoic which means that there was a low echo when they did the CT scan. There was a low echo which indicated a very dense tissue. And they said liver neoplasm could not be excluded. So that’s what their diagnosis was. The CT scan here said that there were 22 focal lesions. And the same thing, that they were up from one to five centimeters in size. So I decided to go on the tonic, of course, again. And they put me this time on an organic vegan diet which was more strict. No animal products. I couldn’t wait for the three months. I was supposed to come back in three months but I couldn’t wait. I was nervous but I was also wanting to find out. Because I know 50 percent, you don’t want to wait too long. So I came back in two and a half months and they found that only three of the lesions were remaining in that short of a time.


Ty: Twenty two down to three?
Pam: Twenty two down to three. And I just, home free. I felt really secure and I came down a few weeks later and they were all gone. So it’s just been an amazing experience, truly.

Ty: That is amazing. And that was four years ago?

Pam: Yes. Four years ago. And I’ve done ultrasounds since then. I had one more CT scan and it was clear.
And now when Dr. Rodriguez gives me the ultrasounds, he said not only - he checks my whole body, and the abdomen, the pancreas is clear. He said, “It looks like you never - you would never know that you had anything wrong with your pancreas or your liver.” Even the scar tissue has healed on my liver.

Ty: That is just amazing.

Pam: Yes. It’s incredible.

Ty: I think you’re the longest living pancreatic cancer survivor that I’ve ever heard of.

Pam: I know. And the sad thing, Ty, was that the doctor in the hospital emergency when I went in - I called. I wanted St. John’s to know what happened because they have that CT scan. And so I wanted them to know what happened. That I got the treatment and to see what Hoxsey did, what BioMedical did for me.
And he said, “that’s a very interesting story,” but he never followed up to want to see it or anything.
Which was just shocking, you know? To have them do that CT and to know that there it was. And he said that it was very interesting.

Ty: I say it’s shocking, but it’s not shocking anymore. It used to be shocking to me but throughout these interviews, everyone that I talk to that has been diagnosed with some kind of an advanced cancer, they go back to the oncologist and they don’t want to know. It’s not really shocking. It’s a shame. That they don’t want to know.

Pam: It’s a tragedy really, and I’m so glad you’re doing this. Because for a long time - we have a business where we publish a magazine and have a website, and it’s kind of known all over the world. And I always wanted the clinic to do more publicity. Of course, they kept a fairly low profile with referrals. But it’s really nice to have more publicity and to have more people be able to know that this is such an amazing, simple treatment. That we’ve known people all over the world, over the years, have been treated for colon cancer, breast cancer, two particular ones were prostate cancer. Given up to die and they’re doing well.

Ty: That’s really amazing and people need to know this. They need to know that they have options.

Pam: Absolutely. This is so simple, and there’s no pain, there’s no deterioration of your body, there’s no harmful treatment. But it works.

Ty: And it’s affordable for most people.

Pam: I know, and it’s so fast. The thing that I would really like to always recommend to people is that they come down first. Because for a lot of the patients it’s a last resort. And that’s the only reason why some people do die. One of two things I’ve found over the years is that either they’re not following their diet and their instructions carefully. Because people think, “well you can cheat here, you can cheat there on your diet.” But the tonic is very sensitive to different chemicals like in tomatoes and things like that.

Ty: We heard that from Dr. Gutierrez.

Pam: Yes. So you have to follow it completely and then also they’re too weak. We knew one man from Germany who didn’t make it but he was absolutely given up to die. He was a skeleton when he walked in here. And it was just too late. So that’s the only reason that we’ve seen anyone not do well.

Ty: What’s your message to somebody that’s been diagnosed with cancer and they’re told that they’re terminal? Because you had pancreatic cancer. What would you like to tell them?

Pam: I would just like to tell them, no matter what they’re doing, and this is what I tell people whenever I’m contacted or whenever I find out about anyone, to just come here. Even if it’s for a second opinion.
Send your records down here. Come and see and talk to the doctors. And decide, make an informed decision. Because once you get here and you feel that you just can talk to people, it’s so faith-building.
Don’t give in to just a treatment that’s promised. My own mother died of lymphoma and it was just so sad that she completely trusted the doctors. They thought she would do well. She didn’t. And so it’s a matter of trust. And the medical situation, like with pancreatic cancer, they don’t have good records of success rates.

Ty: Is there always hope?

Pam: Absolutely. I mean, here, there really is.

Ty: Pam, you’re living proof. Forty years out from pancreatic cancer.

Pam: I feel like a poster child. And they’ve helped me through different things too over the years. Mildred knew so much. And Dr. Gutierrez - I will say one more thing that might be interesting to people. The doctor that is head of the clinic, Dr. Rodriguez, had his own clinic. He was a radiologist. He had his own clinic in Tijuana. So Mildred used to have him come up at lunchtime to read the x-rays and all the radiology and do the radiology for all the doctors. They’d get together and meet at lunch. He’d come up, help read the x-rays, and then he’d go back.
And he found that when he - because he treated multiple people all over the city - he found that the people that he treated that came here, he would see results on the X-rays. He’d be doing the follow up.
And he said, “You’re curing cancer. I can see all these results.” It was so astounding. So Mildred gradually had him come more and more and now he’s head of the clinic. So I think that’s very faithinspiring.

Ty: That really is. He said, “You’re curing cancer.” Harry Hoxsey was always the quack that cured cancer.
He’s no quack.

Pam: Reading his story was very interesting too, how it originated. He treated Barnum & Bailey Circus animals and then people wanted to go to him. And it wasn’t, well you probably have that story, but anyway. He was a very famous. He was a horseman who raised thoroughbreds. So he had a horse that he put out to pasture. The horse had cancer and he put him out to pasture and the horse healed up.
And he thought, “What is this horse doing?”
And so he came up with the formula and then he began treating the Barnum & Bailey Circus animals and they had success. So one man in town had found out he had cancer and he was, I think he was a doctor I’m not sure of that, but anyway, he begged him to treat him. Hoxsey said, “Well this is just for animals.” He said, “I don’t care. I’ve got cancer. I don’t want to die.”
So he gave him the treatment and he did well. And in the beginning days, then the American Medical Association, the AMA, was just starting. There was a political thing. They wanted to go into partnership with Hoxsey and charge $10,000 a patient. And Hoxsey said, “I can’t do that, because my father promised I would never refuse to treat patients if they couldn’t pay.” So he refused that. And then, of course, that was what led to coming south of the border. Because they were in Dallas for many years.

Ty: What would you tell Harry if you could talk to him?

Pam: I’d tell him, thank you, thank you, thank you. You saved my life. I wouldn’t still be alive.

Ty: Well thank you, Pam, for sharing your story. Very inspiring.

Pam: Thank you, Ty.

Ty: Forty years out.

Pam: I just want to encourage anyone to come and send their records. Dr. Gutierrez is even available by telephone.

Ty: Good people here.

Pam: Very good.

Ty: Thank you so much.

Pam: You’re welcome.

The Truth About Cancer and a QuackWatch Review

My thoughts have been tumbling since watching episdoe 1 of The Truth About Cancer...

Especially the interview with Pamela Kelsey... cured of pancreatic cancer decades ago with a natural remedy called the Hoxsey Formula.

Are you like me?  Believing that it's just too good to be true?

A part of my heart wants to believe so badly that this is a real, bonafide option for pancreatic cancer treatment... then again, part of my cynical self can't believe that it's possible... for if it were true than why have the doctors not been advocating it's use... why would so many suffering the nightmare of pancreatic cancer be allowed to waste away under conventional treatments??

Tumbing emotions... wild, crazy feelings...

And, let's be clear... conventional treatments for pancreatic cancer have a dismal track record.

Statistics show that someone diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic (exocrine) cancer has a 1% survival rate after 5 years... dismal results... heartbreaking suffering... and grievous loss...

So, this daughter can't let it rest.  And does what we've always done... gone into research mode...

The Hoxsey Formula.

Looking for reviews, I found this QuackWatch report... Here's the short(er) version, please click here to read the (long) review in its entirety:

"The Hoxsey treatment involves several herbal preparations, all of which are made from combinations of herbs and inorganic compounds. At present, this treatment is offered only at a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, although from 1924 until the late 1950s it was offered at a number of clinics in the United States under the direction of the late Harry Hoxsey (1901-1974). Awareness of the treatment was recently renewed by the release of Hoxsey: Quacks Who Cure Cancer?, a documentary film on the history of the Hoxsey treatment and on Harry Hoxsey's personal role in its development and promotion.

According to Hoxsey's autobiographical book You Don't Have to Die, the herbal formula for the Hoxsey treatment was developed in 1840 by John Hoxsey, Harry Hoxsey's great- grandfather. It was derived from grasses and flowering wild plants growing in a pasture where one of John Hoxsey's horses, afflicted with a cancerous growth, grazed daily. The horse's cancer reportedly disappeared, and John Hoxsey surmised that the wild plants had caused the recovery. He gathered some of the plants from the pasture, and later added ingredients from old home remedies for cancer. He used the resulting herbal mixture to treat similarly afflicted horses near his farm in southern Illinois.

The herbal formula was bequeathed to John Hoxsey's son, then to Harry's father John, and finally to Harry Hoxsey in 1919, whose father charged him with using it to treat cancer patients "if need be, in defiance of the high priests of medicine". Although Harry's father, a veterinary surgeon, was the first to use the formula to treat people with cancer, it was Harry Hoxsey who made it famous. The first clinic offering the Hoxsey treatment opened in the early 1920s and by the 1950s, the Hoxsey Outpatient Clinic in Dallas was reportedly one of the largest privately-owned cancer centers in the world, with branches in 17 states. By Hoxsey's account, the clinic had at its peak of operation 10,000 patients "under constant treatment or observation".

Hoxsey was widely known for his flamboyant and confrontational style. His reluctance to disclose the treatment formulas and his bold claims reportedly led Morris Fishbein, then editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, to publish articles labeling Hoxsey and his late father as charlatans. Hoxsey sued for libel and won. In 1956, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner ordered that a "Public Beware!" warning against the Hoxsey treatment be posted in U.S. Post Offices and substations across the country. Repeated clashes with FDA over violations, and a number of arrests, eventually prompted Hoxsey to close his main Dallas clinic in the late 1950s.

Since 1963, the Hoxsey treatment has been offered at a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, under the direction of Hoxsey's longtime chief nurse, Mildred Nelson. The herbal preparations Nelson uses to treat cancer patients are reportedly based on Hoxsey's herbal formulas and method of preparation .

Rationale for the Treatment

In 1956, Hoxsey described his belief that cancer was a systemic disease, however localized its manifestations might appear to be. Although he did not "pretend to know its fundamental cause," he believed that "without exception it occurs only in the presence of a profound physiological change in the constituents of body fluids" and that it leads to a "chemical imbalance in the organism" (418). Hoxsey summarized the theory behind his approach this way:

It follows that if the constitution of body fluids can be normalized and the original chemical balance in the body restored, the environment again will become unfavorable for the survival and reproduction of these cells, they will cease to multiply and eventually they will die.

He also did not claim to know how or why his herbal cancer treatment worked, but he maintained that it "corrects the abnormal blood chemistry and normalizes cell metabolism" by "stimulat[ing] the elimination of toxins which are poisoning the system".

Nelson believes that the Hoxsey tonic "normalizes and balances the chemistry within the body," a process she believes results in tumor regression. In a 1984 interview, Nelson said:
"When you get everything normalized, the abnormal cells —the tumor cells —cease to grow. And very slowly the tumor is absorbed and excreted, and it's gone".

Components of the Treatment

Hoxsey's 1956 book You Don't Have to Die lists the ingredients of his internal treatment given in "all cases of cancer, both internal and external" as potassium iodide combined with some or all of the following substances, on a case-by-case basis: licorice, red clover, burdock root (Arctium lappa), stillingia root (Stillingia sylvatica), berberis root (Berberis vulgaris), poke root (Phytolacca americana), cascara (Rhamnus purshiana), Aromatic USP 14 (artificial flavor), prickly ash bark (Zanthoxylum americanum), and buckthorn bark (Rhamnus frangula). The last two substances in this list are not specifically mentioned in Mildred Nelson's list of ingredients used in the Hoxsey treatment she currently offers.

The current Hoxsey treatment offered by Mildred Nelson at the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana includes a liquid tonic, a salve, and a powder, all of which are reportedly based on Hoxsey's formulas. In addition, Nelson's treatment regimen specifically includes nutritional supplements and dietary restrictions. Nelson advises before-meal "tri-tabs," after-meal tablets, yeast tablets, vitamin C, calcium capsules, laxative tablets, antiseptic douches, and antiseptic washes. She also recommends that patients exclude certain foods that "nullify the tonic", such as pork, tomatoes, pickles or other products with vinegar, salt, sugar, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, carbonated beverages, and bleached flour. All patients tested for systemic infection with the fungus Candida albicans before treatment is initiated, although the reasons for such testing are not given in the patient literature. Treatment lasts up to three days at the clinic, with followup visits within three to six months after the initial visit.

Adverse Effects

Hoxsey's medical director stated in a 1952 publication that no toxic reactions had been seen in patients treated with the Hoxsey tonic, but he added that "the growth of a cancer can be stimulated if the treatment is used improperly".

Claims

Hoxsey presented numerous case histories of patients treated at his clinic in his 1956 book. Additional case histories supporting his claims are described in a 1954 publication by Defender Magazine. In his book, Hoxsey noted that cancer patients sought his treatment "as a last resort." He wrote:
We don't pretend to cure all of them. The vast majority are advanced and even terminal cases by the time we get them. Many come to us after the disease already has spread through the body; after surgery or irradiation has so impaired circulation of the blood to the affected areas that our treatment cannot reach them...Nevertheless we believe we cure a far greater percentage of cases treated than is cured by any other method at present known to science.

Attempts at Evaluating the Hoxsey Treatment

No clinical trials of the Hoxsey treatment have been reported. Several record reviews, initiated in the 1950s, have been discussed in the literature, however. The first was based on a site visit in 1954 by a group of physicians, who, by Hoxsey's account, spent two days inspecting the clinic, reviewing patient records, and talking to patients. Although the data on which they made their conclusions are not given in Hoxsey's book where an excerpt of their statement appears, the group concluded that the Hoxsey Clinic was "successfully treating pathologically proven cases of cancer, both internal and external, without the use of surgery, radium or x-ray".

Hoxsey made attempts (in 1945 and 1950) to have NCI review his patients' records. On both occasions, NCI determined that the records Hoxsey submitted did not meet NCI's previously established criteria at that time for documenting treatment effects.

According to several sources, NCI concluded on the basis of Hoxsey's data that no assessment of his treatment could be made.  Hoxsey believed, however, that it was NCI's responsibility to verify his case records; their failure to do so was deliberate, he believed, resulting from a widespread conspiracy organized against him by the AMA. In 1947, Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma asked the U.S. Public Health Service to investigate Hoxsey's treatment, and the Surgeon General refused the request.

Hoxsey's point of view was echoed by a 1953 report to the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee by Benedict Fitzgerald, an attorney who examined records of Hoxsey's litigation with the AMA and the Federal Government. After reading about the circumstances of these attempted case reviews, Fitzgerald wrote that NCI "took sides and sought in every way to hinder, suppress, and restrict [the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic] in their treatment of cancer". To date, no independent, comprehensive assessment has been made to resolve the many allegations and issues raised by Hoxsey's tumultuous career."

Well... that was an involved review (for being the shorter version!)... and I'm no closer to determining the veracity of the Hoxsey Formula...

I am troubled however, by the refusal of the established medical community to investigate the Hoxsey treatment, as evidenced by the litigation charges near the end of the review, and also the fact that no independent clinical trial has been done on this treatment.

Is it possible that the Hoxsey Formula could be an option for pancreatic cancer patients?  If Pamela Kelsey is to be believed then, yes, it needs to be considered...

Not long ago, we did a series called Mapping the Journey: Pancreatic Cancer 101 and we talked about the hard decisions that must be made when first diagnosed with this dreaded disease.  These hard decisions are the hardest grace.  And no one should make them for you...

Each pancreatic cancer patient must make decisions that are right for their situation.  And I believe with all my heart that knowledge is truly a powerful thing... knowing your options when facing the foe is the first immeasurably important step

And so... when considering the options, perhaps the Hoxsey Formula needs to be on the table.

Ask the questions, do the research, leave no potential treatment unexplored.

Continuing on in the search together, walking this journey with determination and hope... So graced to be in your company...

Always,
           Jane
