The Hoxie Method of Treating Cancer
Hoxie was forced to lease his clinic to someone else, but the FDA succeeded in getting a permanent injunction against his treatment. From late 1960 on, the Hoxie method of treating cancer could no longer be legally practiced in the United States. In 1999, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine examined evidence submitted by a Hoxie clinic in Mexico and found that of 149 patients who had been treated, only 85 could be tracked down five years later. Of these, only 17 were still alive. Such a 26% survival rate is not exactly the claimed 80% rate and probably could be achieved by an anti-cancer diet of frog legs, snails and Mexican jumping beans
