Harry Hoxsey, Healer Before His Time with Kenny Ausubel

MP3 Download

Award winning author, investigative journalist, and filmmaker, Kenny Ausubel presents cutting edge data about an unsung hero: Harry Hoxsey. Hoxsey was an ex-coal miner who claimed a cure for cancer back in 1924, using herbal remedies inherited from his great grandfather. Despite federal courts upholding its therapeutic value, support from senators, judges, congressmen and doctors, and countless devoted patients, he was still labeled a "quack" and a "ghoul feasting on the bodies of the dead and dying." Find out how Hoxsey persevered, managing to become the first alternative healer to defeat the American Medical Association and begin the world's largest privately owned cancer center. His struggle is our struggle, because the power for dominance in the medical field continues today. Ausubel delves into the roots underlying the conflict between conventional and natural medicine, and offers ways to exercise your personal freedom of choice about your health decisions.
