I can't embed it either.

[osoab]

i see the embedded video in TT's op.

you got a synopsis TT? it's like 1.5 hours long.

[crimethink]

Cancer "treatments" = tens of billions annually

Cancer cure = a fraction of the cost, and an increasing reduction annually.

"The love of money is the root of all evil."

[crimethink]

i see the embedded video in TT's op.

you got a synopsis TT? it's like 1.5 hours long.

It looks at one possible "alternative" treatment (cure) to at least some cancers. It presents evidence that the treatment works (cures), and reviews the rabid politico-economic opposition to patient choice.

[Serpo]

This whole medical satanic system is one big crime field , built on the deaths and suffering of people who have been denied true healing medicine because the truth has been denied to them.

It has been denied so some people can make profits through a patented medical system of various chemicals.

This is the biggest crime and if it dosnt prove how disgusting this stupid system we live in is then there is no hope .

Every atom in our bodies should burn with rage .......................

Walking through a hospital in there present form today reminds me of a death camp.

Where is the health...........

[Twisted Titan]

I can find the whole vid on youtube

I just never heard of this guy before.

I always got hit with some challenging news.

My youngest brother has cancerous growth inthe stomach.

Its very early but it can go a number of ways

He made adjustments to attitude and diet

I will fill the last part education.

I sent him a 2pound bag of appricot seeds and told him to get busy like a chipmunk.

While looking for B17 videos i came across this one.

It was the final push to get homeopathic treatment centers shut down in the states.

I never heard of him before so it was very imformative.

Common Name
Hoxsey herbs, Hoxsey formula, Hoxsey method



Top (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/hoxsey-herbal-therapy#top)
Clinical Summary
Alternative therapy comprised of herbal tonics and restrictive diets promoted as cancer cure. The Hoxsey treatment, illegal in the United States, is available at the Bio-Medical Center and other clinics in Tijuana, Mexico. According to inventor Harry Hoxsey, the principal “brown” tonic contains potassium iodide, licorice, (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/licorice)red clover (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/red-clover), burdock root (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/burdock), stillingia root (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/stillingia), barberry, cascara (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/cascara), pokeweed, prickly ash bark, and buckthorn bark. The diet involves eliminating pork, vinegar, tomatoes, pickles, carbonated drinks, alcohol, bleached flour, sugar and salt, and emphasizes iron, calcium, vitamin C, yeast supplements and grape juice. Hoxsey claims the treatment detoxifies the body, strengthens the immune system, balances body chemistry, and allows the body to digest and excrete tumors. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), vitamin B12, Gerovital (a mixture of procaine hydrochloride and vitamins), “Prolobin liver,” TST-100, rosette cactus, Koch Antitoxins, BCG vaccine, and Shulte's medications sometimes are included in the regimen.

Hoxsey was convicted many 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) (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/hoxsey-herbal-therapy#references-2). The National Cancer Institute evaluated 77 case reports submitted by Hoxsey and concluded that none showed efficacy (5) (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/hoxsey-herbal-therapy#references-5). No clinical data support the value of this therapy.

Mechanism of Action
Hoxsey claims that the internal formulation “stimulates the elimination of toxins that poison the system, thereby correcting the abnormal blood chemistry and normalizing cell metabolism.” His head nurse added that it restores acid/base balance, normal metabolism, and immune function, and “deals with the DNA.” None of these claims is substantiated by scientific data. The herbal tonic was developed by Hoxsey's great grandfather, whose horse was reportedly cured of a leg tumor after eating wild herbs. Hoxsey combined these herbs with home remedies to create the “brown” tonic. In vitro and animal studies conducted with individual components (e.g., licorice, red clover, burdock, pokeroot, stillingia, barberry - see individual monographs) indicate possible anti-tumor and immunostimulant properties, but their concentrations and activity in the tonic have not been determined (1) (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/hoxsey-herbal-therapy#references-1) (2) (http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/herb/hoxsey-herbal-therapy#references-2).

Warnings
The American Cancer Society strongly urges cancer patients not to use the Hoxsey treatment, as no objective evidence exists to support its efficacy.

Adverse Reactions
External paste and powder: Severe burns, scars, and disfigurement can occur with use of the external treatments.
Iodine toxicity: “Iodisms” can result from intake as low as 60 mg/day or long-term use, causing pimples, excessive secretion of the eyes or nose, impotence, and inflammation of salivary glands.
Buckthorn: A violent laxative, causing abdominal pain, dehydration, anxiety, decreased respirations, diarrhea, nausea, trembling, vomiting.
Cascara: Only approved for short-term use. Laxative effects can cause abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, discoloration of urine, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, osteomalacia, steatorrhea, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, vomiting.
Licorice: Hypertension, lethargy, muscle pain, cardiac arrhythmias, sodium retention, hypokalemia, hyper-mineralcorticoidism, pseudo-hyperaldosteronism, decreased libido in men, and suppression of scalp sebum secretion
Pokeweed: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps. Ingestion has been associated with illnesses requiring hospitalization, and has caused deaths in children and heart block.

Literature Summary and Critique
Only retrospective reviews have evaluated the Hoxsey treatment. In the 1940s and 50s, the NCI examined 137 case reports of patients Hoxsey claimed to cure with his internal herbal tonic. The NCI found no evidence that the tonic is effective. Researchers from the University of British Columbia followed up on 71 of Hoxsey's patients in 1957, also finding inadequate evidence for the treatment's effectiveness. Subsequent reviews of the available literature and cases by the American Cancer Society have reached the same conclusion.

Richardson MA, et al. Assessment of outcomes at alternative medicine cancer clinics: a feasibility study.J Altern Complement Med 2001;7:19-32. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11246933)
A recent evaluation of record keeping the Bio-Medical Center found that only 43.6% of patients treated for cancer had pathological confirmation, data needed for follow-up on outcomes was not available, and 60-90% of patients have received prior conventional therapy. The authors concluded that a retrospective study of survival to evaluate the efficacy of this clinic's treatment is not feasible.

The herbal tonic was developed by Hoxsey's great grandfather, whose horse was reportedly cured of a leg tumor after eating wild herbs.*


That horse was eating wild gourd leaves....they taste terrible and are beyond bitter....but the leaves are bursting with vitamin B17 or Amigdalin and that is was reversed the turmor.

The American Cancer Society strongly urges cancer patients not to use the Hoxsey treatment, as no objective evidence exists to support its efficacy.

The American Cancer Society is one of the most corrupt "charities" in the world.

Their entire existence is dependent upon cancer continuing to be a deadly plague.

When I worked for them in the 1990s, they came out with their "2015 Goals," promising much, and, if successful, working themselves slowly out of a money-making job.

Progress?

I don't trust them either. I was curious about what the ingredients were. I have wild licorice growing in my pastures and the cattle and horses really go after it before it goes to seed. I also have some burdock growing but try to kill it out because it has such a nasty burr on it. I'm going to see if I have any of the other ingredients of his cure growing where I live.
