Bio-Medical Centre (Hoxsey Clinic)
 

As one of the first alternative cancer facilities in Mexico, this clinic has provided the Hoxsey therapy since 1963. Mildred Nelson, who was Harry Hoxsey's chief nurse at the Hoxsey Clinic in Dallas until he left clinical practice, carried on the therapy in Mexico until her death in 1999. Her sister now runs the clinic, that has been monitored since 2000 by local health department officials. It is not as expensive as many therapies, costing only about $3,500.00 for the therapy no matter how long it takes, with 30% due at the first appointment. 

In addition to the Hoxsey treatment, comprised of a liquid elixir containing a mixture of herbs and several topical salves, the clinic may also use other supplements, diet, nutrition, and chelation therapy. They treat most types of malignancies, but it is said to be especially effective with skin cancer (including melanoma), breast cancer, and has been successful with some recurrent cancers and even with patients who've had radiation and/or chemotherapy. Often what people will do is combine Hoxsey treatment with other approaches, like laetrile.
 

This is the clinic that I first attended in 1982, having first heard about it from travellers visiting Adelaide from California, USA. The clinic is run like a hospital out-patients department, consequently patients must be able to travel. Patients plan to arrive early each day and after being processed, diagnosed, treated and supplied with specific supplements are generally sent home to treat themselves the same day. Because of the distance I travelled from Australia to attend, I was supplied with enough supplements to take me through twelve months, after which I was expected to return for further tests and new supplies.

Depending on the type of cancer, some patients are asked to return for daily external treatments for a period of about ten days, until a reaction to the treatment is observed after which these patients are free to return home. Patients usually stay at a motel on the US side of the border and travel daily across the border to the clinic using a dedicated bus service.

I am particularly grateful for the assistance, care and treatment that Mildred and other members of the Bio Medical team provided on every occasion I visited over some five years of being under their thorough counsel and care. 

Below, is a downloadable PDF file of a 1983 magazine article. This outlines the reason why the clinic is located in Mexico and also provides details of the individual ingredients in the tonic prescribed by the clinic.
