Control your path

The world of alternative cancer treatment can seem complicated and full of misinformation, leaving you unsure of who to trust and what path to take.

Hoxsey Bio Medical stands on an established history of healing grounded in empathy and guided by expertise.

Grounded in empathy

Hoxsey Bio Medical was founded on a desire to share hope and help people heal. When Harry Hoxsey was entrusted with his family’s herbal cancer remedy in the early 1900s, he determined to make the treatment accessible to anyone who needed healing.

Since its inception in 1963, Hoxsey Bio Medical has allowed over 250,000 patients to face cancer on their own terms. Many of our original staff and trusted partners remain at the clinic, preserving the mission of empowering each patient to face their diagnosis with strength and stability.
