Book Description
A powerful and substantiated expose of the medical politics that prevents promising alternative cancer therapies from being implemented in the United States.

* Focuses on Harry Hoxsey, the subject of the author's award-winning documentary, who claimed to cure cancer using herbal remedies.

* Presents scientific evidence supporting Hoxsey's cancer-fighting claims.

* Published to coincide with the public release of the National Institutes of Health report on the efficacy of Hoxsey's remedies.

Harry Hoxsey claimed to cure cancer using herbal remedies, and thousands of patients swore that he cured them. But medical authorities branded him a quack and relentlessly hounded him until his Texas clinic was driven to Tijuana, Mexico, in the early 1960s. Since that time, laboratory tests have shown Hoxsey's herbs to have documented anticancer properties. In 1997, the federal government's Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine began a historic preliminary review of Hoxsey's patient records with their findings scheduled for release in the spring of 2000.

When Healing Becomes a Crime exposes the overall failure of the "War on Cancer" and reveals how yesterday's "quackery" is emerging as the leading edge of tomorrow's medicine. As alternative medicine finally regains its rightful place and enters mainstream practice, this compelling book will not only forever change the way you see medicine but could also save your life.
