In the 1800's, John Hoxsey watched a horse recover from cancer after feeding in a field of wild plants and
grasses. Hoxsey collected the field plants and formulated an herbal tonic remedy to treat animals suffering various
illnesses. For generations the formula for the herbal tonic was kept a Hoxsey family secret, until John Hoxsey's
great-grandson Harry Hoxsey, an Illinois coal miner, marketed the herbal tonic as a cancer remedy for humans and
promoted himself as a self-taught herbal healer.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care. For medical emergencies, dial 911!
