Harry Hoxsey;
An Introduction
to His
Life and Work
Katherine Smith
Harry Hoxsey was born in 1902, into a family which had been successfully
curing cancer for several generations using herbal medicine. According to
Hoxsey, the healing power of the herbs used in the family's secret formula
was discovered by his great grandfather in the nineteenth century.
In 1840 or thereabouts John Hoxsey had a horse which became sick
with a cancerous sore. He fully expected the animal to die, but when it
seemed to be miraculously gaining in strength, he observed the animal
closely. He noticed that the horse would go and eat the wild herbs
("weeds") in a certain corner of its paddock. By the time the horse made
a full recovery from the cancer which had threatened its life, John Hoxsey
had become convinced it was the herbs which it had consumed which
were responsible for its reprieve from death.
He refined the herbs over the years, treating other animals afflicted
with cancer. In time he developed an herbal tonic to be taken internally as
well as a powdered formula—which could be mixed into a paste—to be
applied to external lesions and tumors.
When John Hoxsey died, he passed the knowledge of his cancer treatment
to his son, who later passed the knowledge down to his son, Harry's
father.
Harry Hoxsey was told the secret formula of the family's anti-cancer
preparations by his father when the older man was on his death bed. (See
inset "The Hoxsey Family Formulas" on page 116 for a listing of the
herbs.) At that time, the eighteen-year-old Harry Hoxsey was already
skilled in the application of the powdered formula to skin cancers. He was
also familiar with the dosage for the herbal tonic, having assisted his
father in the unofficial cancer clinic he had held in the evenings after his
work.
With his father's death, however, Harry Hoxsey gained not only the
responsibility of being the sole inheritor of an important cure for cancer,
