In most countries of the industrialized West, cancer is more a political disease than a medical disease. You don't really realize the truth of this unless you have worked inside the cancer industry and come to understand the sole currency guiding the support of expensive, ineffective therapies and the suppression of effective, inexpensive ones: profit.

The Hoxsey movie, released in 1987, lead to a book version in 2000, (which begins with an empassioned forward by Bernie Siegal, M.D.). The movie version, downloadable above, is a vivid, heart-wrenching portrait of the life of Harry Hoxsey, whose effective cancer remedies lead to the creation of 17 cancer clinics across the U.S.A. by the 1950's. Hoxsey's clinics reported a success rate which rivalled those of orthodox clinics. Despite numerous attempts by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to put Hoxsey out of business, and numerous legal actions involving the testimony of thousands of successful cases, Hoxsey was able to carry out his work in the U.S. for nearly 40 years, starting in 1924. Today, a relatively small clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, is all that remains of the original Hoxsey practice (called "Bio Medical Center," it was founded by Mildred Nelson, Hoxsey's long-time nurse).
