Just three miles from the US border, there is a successful alternative cancer clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. Called the BioMedical Center, it was established there in 1963. According to the Center’s executive administrator, Liz Jonas, its cancer-free success rate is 80 percent. This includes patients abandoned by conventional oncology who have turned to natural cancer cures.
Below is a photo of me and Liz that was taken when the TTAC team traveled to the clinic to do some interviews for The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest, which will air from August 28 to September 5, 2024.
The BioMedical Center may be the oldest alternative cancer clinic in North America. It started in Dallas, Texas, circa 1936 as the Harry Hoxsey Cancer Clinic, and soon became the largest independent cancer clinic in the world, having expanded to 16 other American states.
Hoxsey’s flamboyant, aggressive persona persisted through many decades of the American Medical Association (AMA) attempts to stop him from curing cancer patients. He even won a libel lawsuit in 1950 against AMA head Morris Fishbein and the powerful Hearst Publications group.
It wasn’t until the FDA became more empowered to intervene with interstate sales of unapproved remedies that the Hoxsey Clinic was forced to shut down all its branches in 1960 and move to Tijuana, Mexico.
Hoxsey Wanted to Prove His Natural Cancer Cures Worked
Harry Hoxsey, born in 1901, assisted his father’s veterinary practice as a child. Word of mouth led Hoxsey’s cancer practice to overlap with human patients, using what some claim to be an old Native American herbal formula for cancers. Hoxsey’s account differs…
He explains in his book You Don’t Need to Die that his great grandfather observed his favorite horse recover from cancer by eating certain flowers and weeds. His great grandfather then formulated these botanicals into liquid concoctions. Each subsequent Hoxsey generation also worked as veterinarians and continuously improved the formulas.
Soon people with cancer began asking for the Hoxsey formulas. When his father was dying, he had Harry promise to use the topical salves, powders, and internal liquid herbal formulas to help as many people as possible and not exploit the remedies for personal wealth.
After being arrested for practicing medicine without a license in Taylorville, Illinois, Hoxsey went to Chicago around 1924. His goal was to prove his remedies’ efficacy to Morris Fishbein, head of the American Medical Association (AMA) and editor of the newly started JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). Hoxsey’s formula was tested with a terminal cancer patient (Chicago policeman, Sgt. Thomas Manix), who was cured by Hoxsey’s herbal treatments and wound up living another 10 years.
Fishbein was impressed and offered to buy Hoxsey’s formulas to gain exclusive AMA control over their applications. Remembering the commitment to his father and wary of Fishbein’s motives, Hoxsey refused the offer. Thus Fishbein’s AMA war on Hoxsey began.
Even though Fishbein admitted the sanguinarine in Hoxsey’s bloodroot-based red paste worked for skin cancer, the AMA vilified Hoxsey’s brown liquid herbal tonics as worthless. Hoxsey kept his internal herbal formulas secret after winning his libel lawsuit against Fishbein and the AMA in 1950. However, he was forced to reveal the constituent ingredients to the FDA once they gained the power to enforce ingredient listing.
Esquire Magazine Suppresses Article; Hoxsey Found Legit
In 1936, Hoxsey established the nation’s largest independent cancer clinic in Dallas, Texas. There he was confronted by a new nemesis, Dallas District Attorney Al Templeton. Al Templeton continued harassing Hoxsey until his brother, Mike Templeton, secretly attended Hoxsey’s clinic and was cured of what was declared an incurable cancer.
Subsequently, Al Templeton became Hoxsey’s lawyer. Soon after, Templeton was elected as a district judge in Dallas, and Hoxsey finally had friends in high places, albeit only locally. As Hoxsey’s clinics expanded from Dallas to 16 clinics in different states, his notoriety became too obvious for the AMA to ignore.
Hoxsey’s assistant, Nurse Mildred Nelson, who later established the Mexico clinic, originally came to Dallas to take her mother away from “that quack.” After her mother was cured, Mildred ended up staying to help Hoxsey.
In 1939, Esquire magazine journalist James Burke was sent to Hoxsey’s Dallas cancer clinic to do an article exposing Hoxsey as a quack. After Burke investigated, he was convinced that Hoxsey’s clinic was actually curing cancer and Hoxsey wasn’t a charlatan. Burke then wrote an article entitled “The Quack Who Cured Cancer” and sent it to Esquire. It was never published. Burke returned from active duty during WWII and went to work for Hoxsey as his press agent.
San Diego journalist Peter Chowka had a similar mission after the BioMedical Center had been taking in patients for a couple of decades. He went to Tijuana and discovered the Center was a great place for cancer patients, and its treatments were safe and effective. Since then Chowka has been a natural cancer treatment advocate.
What’s in the Hoxey Formulas?
A solution of cascara (Rhamnus purshiana) and potassium iodide served as a base for the following herbs, added according to individual cancer cases:
- Burdock root (Arctium lappa)
- Barberry or berberis root (Berberis vulgaris)
- Buckthorn bark (Rhamnus frangula)
- Stillingia root (Stillingia sylvatica)
- Prickly ash bark (Zanthoxylum americanum)
- Poke root (Phytolacca americana)
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.
Hoxsey’s treatments were considered effective by a panel of independent physicians who had reviewed the case histories of his patients. Their written testimonies were used in Hoxsey’s 1950 lawsuit against the AMA, along with testimonials from some of his cured patients.
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.
Cancer patients too sick to travel can send a relative to the Tijuana Center with medical records, which the staff reviews to decide how to formulate Hoxsey tonics specifically for that patient. Relatives then return to that patient with enough tonic for six months. Usually that’s enough to render the patient well enough to travel to the clinic and continue their treatment.
No doubt, Harry Hoxey’s promise to his father lives on in Tijuana’s BioMedical Center, providing an intelligent alternative to conventional cancer treatments.
Awesome!!! Keep preaching and spreading the word about the Hoxsey formula and the Bio-Medical Clinic that has helped with my successful battle with tonsil cancer.
What do you know about neck cancer that matistics into lungs
In 1985 my 4 year old son was cured of acute lymphoblastic leukemia by following the Hoxey diet. My 60 year old friend, who was cured of a stage 4 cancer, shared her Hoxey tonic and diet with me. I paid for my sons chemotherapy and flushed in down drain. I am grateful for Mildred talking with me on the phone, and her guidance when she told me that patients do better if they have not had any chemotherapy. My son is now 35 years old and has six healthy children. It is not easy changing the way we eat, but it means life!

What kind of cancer can be cured, lung, lymphnode. , what stages? How about stage 4 lung cancer thats spread everywhere?
I have been diagnosed with Lobular breast cancer. Tests indicate 1 tumor approx. 1”. Trying to schedule my surgery. I have refused chemo and radiation. Worried about metastasis from surgery, so hesitant. It is estrogen and progesterone receptive. Also, something with an H receptive. Feel it should come out unless there is another way. Can you suggest anything?

Would this be a viable solution for stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis to liver (innumerable and inoperable in liver)
Hi Janine did you end up going to the clinic? If so, how did you go?
Has it been known to cure or help rare cancers? Alveolar soft part sarcoma aswell as osteo sarcoma.
My theory is..also if all Mother Nature natural antibiotics i.e. Garlic & onion are infested with GMO and highly toxic how does you body naturally heal it self..?
Either grow your own. Or buy Organic.
My dog has just had surgery for a sarcoma tumer on her leg. I am told it will come back. Will the herbal formula above work for her? If so, how much of each should I be mixing? She is 100 lbs.
Thanks,
Evelyn
Medical Trials of Cannabis v Cancers
I have an inoperable lung cancer.
The chemo- and radio-therapies caused great damage, to the point where I would not face those treatments again.
I turned to medicinal marijuana, and at the last meeting with my consultant, he said I had done “remarkably well” on my self-medication, but that one person’s results don’t carry any statistical weight.
So I have drafted a set of protocols to create Global Individual Medical Trials.
Obviously, I cannot set up a formal set of trials, I am just an individual, but what I am doing now has the general support of my consultant and my GP.
Over the next couple of years, I expect to gather thousands of results from individuals around the world who have had satisfactory results from using medical marijuana to combat their cancer.
Hopefully more medical professionals will begin to look at Cannabis as a cancer-treatment, and not “hippy-dippy wishful thinking of sad and desperate people with cancer” (as it has been described to me by an MP) (thankfully no longer an MP after recent elections).
The intention is to collect so many success-stories that governments world-wide can no longer deny the results, and therefore a valid treatment will be allowed to come to the rescue of cancer patients everywhere.
I need to put this invitation in front of as many people as possible, and therefore, I’m asking for your help. Can you “spread the word” for me, please?
I know you will need to verify what I’m saying.

Hi Alan Briggs… I invested some time reading through your website. I have suffered some terrible traumas in the last ten-twenty years, some physical, some very emotional (a predisposition (long-story). Last summer it became evident that I was reallllly having trouble breathing even during a very short walk up the stairs or to the bathroom. I am a non-smoker who has been eating organically for 30 plus years, since I came to know the Lord by grace actually. However, I suffered severe physical trauma just 3 years ago that resulted in cervical and other injuries, physical and emotional, just 3 years ago now. I have been in increasing pains and I have been unable to return to work (I was in the dissertation phase of an Environmental Management, sustainable and organic urban agriculture, PhD. You can find me on FB (friend me and we can chat), and LinkedIn. I took a state-of-the-art breathing test at the end of last summer, and, as I suspected, it was not “my asthma” as practitioners had told me for the prior 2.5 years since the most recent physical accident when I began to have real trouble breathing (“wind knocked out of me” they kept repeating). An precautionary x-ray was ordered, and came back suggestive of pneumonia. My 3rd foot surgery of 2015 was commenced. They had REAL trouble keeping me breathing under mild to moderate anaesthesia, so, a sleep study was ordered and a chest CT. The latter revealed a 3×4 cm mass at the hilar region of my lung, a moderate to large hiatal hernia with esophageal fat stranding, and a 1 cm hepatic hypodensity. I have intentionally lost 55 pounds since the sleep study revealed “sleep apnea” (personally, I think there is actually very real autonomic system nerve damage, likely vagus (… when I reach sound sleep, I don’t breathe, my SO2 levels drop significantly, and I awake with a startle to breathe deeply if not sedated; I remain awake more often than not and I am severely sleep deprived for 3+ years now as a result). I immediately sought and followed rigorous natural protocols, many of which are anti-cancerous (Budwig, Essiac, raw juicing, fresh organics, pastured organic meats, if any, and raw: nuts, seeds, and dairy. I have done some very expensive urine and blood tests at the advice of a DC who has killed bone, brain, blood cancer. I am waiting on results. With worsening breathing and radiculopathy symptoms, and at the insistance of medical doctors and some family members, I may do an EBUS shortly (feedback, or personal experiences appreciated); currently wrestling with the risks, and the fact that the current practitioner just told me that he WILL NOT record the journey down my trachea, etc. A pretty big red flag for me. I expected a DVD to go of the video for second, third, or fourth opinions of a diagnosis. The images may be useful in my future for diagnosis and chosen treatment (which I want to be natural, non-invasive, for whatever is wrong with me. Personally, I think I have been sick for a long time, maybe sarcoidosis (I have many symptoms), with now maybe bacteria, cancer stem cells, and virus settled into the substrate at my middle lobe at the hilar region. Dangerous stuff. Anyway, I am VERY interested in being part of the trial. I have read suppository cannabis oil is very tolerable and very effective. I think 10 quid is $15 american US dollars; I could donate that to be part of the support too. Anyway, I can be reached online via social media (FB and LinkedIn for now), or the email provided (slow way to get me!). God’s grace and continued blessing with your work. BTW, I love your early years’ paintings At the Cross!!! I look forward to speaking with you.

My name is Ernie Pearce . I have been involved with Blood Root for 15 years. I had rectal cancer, prostrate cancer, and cancer all over my body with much more on my face. I have found that using the salve as a suppository for internal cancer works very well. It also fights Hep-C and Shingles, also very good results on Agent Orange. (Hilyern@gmail.com)
My mother has Hep-C . Where can I get more info?
Did you get info on the hep C treatment?
Tomorrow I will visit the clinic with my mom (Liver Cancer) for the third time. So far so good!
Thanks a lot TTAC!
Hi Ana, How is your mom doing? I’m going in June with my brother for treatment of liver cancer and I wanted to see what if any side effects your mom has had. Hope all is well.
My wife was diagnosed with stage IV Glioblastoma Brain cancer on 9-8-16. She has had 3 brain surgeries and Has radiation and chemo. Right now there are a couple of spots that show up on the MRI and after a month the spots are slightly larger. She is being treated at Mayo in Rochester. What kind of success has this treatment center in Mexico had with brain cancer? Does insurance cover this treatment and if not what are the costs? Thanks for your concern and your information.
Go to the Bio-Medical Clinic’s web site. The link is towards the bottom of the article. Costs are $400-$3000. They have an 80% overall cure rate but the patient must be compliant. Call them and discuss your situation.
Good luck and God bless!
Hi Mike. I’m just curious if you have looked into anything further with this clinic with your wife? And if so what are you learning? My brother has the same brain cancer and is getting his treatment at Mayo.
Mike Richart: look up Protocel. I believe they have had success with glioblastoma. I think Duke University also is having success with the immunotherapy measures With glioblastoma . It is important to address this as soon as possible. Keep in mind that any government websites often dismiss success stories.
ty for all you do love the truth about cancer ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,true life saver
Go to The Truth About Cancer website. Ty Bollinger has a book out by the same title that is a real eye opener. I would also recommend contacting Natural Health Resources – Don Partridge – 425-271-5606. Also, I would recommend checking out the BiomedicalCancer Treatment Center in Tijuana. I’ve heard good things. Ty Bollinger is a Christian who’s out to help educate people and save lives.
I have seen so many videos of people recovering from
Stage 4 cancers including brain , and pancreatic , that has spread by taking cannabis oil extract , and relief from severe pain , and it’s not getting high , some ppl
Put the oil in a veggie cap and insert it rectally, I just learned all this Jan 2017 , it’s called Rick Simpson oil
And it’s easy to make it yourself , iam going to make some soon and do the hoxsey tonic
Can anyone comment on how difficult it is to bring tonics across the border? Is there any restriction at either the Mexican or Canadian borders? Thank you.
Stage IV colon cancer and starting 2nd dance in less than 2 years here. There were no restrictions to bring back into the USA or Canada. After visiting the clinic we highly recommend making the trip. We learned more in 1 day then we have in 2 yrs dealing with the Canadian HC system and they took time to explain test results, After talking with other patients and staff new HOPE has been given instead of “doctors” telling you chemo is your only choice to extend your life another 12-18 months.
I took Cancer treatment from Arogyam, it really works for me… Thanks to arogyam pure herbs kit for cancer from bottom of my heart….
Thanks for sharing your success with us Karan!
Does anyone know how long the Hoxsey program takes. approximately for beast cancer Mets
Thanks.
Can someone with liver cancer tell me if this Hoxsey treatment is working or not? Are there any clinics in Tijuana that can boast positive results with liver cancer?
Has anyone had success with Glioblastoma from this clinic or any Other?
