The Hoxsey Therapy originated in the United States where it has a remarkably successful clinical history. In 1963, Mildred Nelson, RN who worked with Harry Hoxsey starting in 1946 at the Hoxsey Clinic in Dallas Texas and who he chose as his successor, founded  the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana, Mexico, less than a mile from the U.S./Mexico border near San Diego, California. Since then Bio-Medical Center has been the exclusive, international home of the Hoxsey Therapy. Over the years, Mildred Nelson treated many thousands of patients, expanded and modernized the Bio-Medical Center, hired and trained a staff of fully licensed, English-speaking MDs and professional support personnel who take care of the medical needs of patients who visit the Bio-Medical Center from the United States, Canada, Australia and many other countries worldwide.

Many thousands of people with cancer and other chronic conditions from all over the world continue to be drawn to the Bio-Medical Center by the promise of real help, offered with sensitivity, compassion and professionalism and at a reasonable cost without the necessity of long stays. Before her death in January 1999, Mildred Nelson appointed her younger sister, Liz Jonas, who had worked closely with Mildred at the Bio-Medical Center for a number of years, as the administrator of the clinic. Ms. Jonas now oversees the staff who have dedicated themselves to carry forward the legacy of Mildred Nelson and the Hoxsey Therapy into the next millennium.

In 1983, a group of independent filmmakers began an extensive, four-year long investigation into the Bio-Medical Center, Mildred Nelson, and the history of the Hoxsey Therapy. The result is the award-winning feature-length documentary film "Hoxsey; Quacks Who Cure Cancer?," a.k.a. How Healing Become a Crime. The film premiered at the prestigious Margaret Mead Film Festival in New York City in September 1987 and was shown numerous times on the Cinamax premium cable television channel and on other broadcasting outlets around the world. In his review of the film, noted New York Times film critic Vincent Canby praised it as "first rate reportage." Hoxsey, the movie, objectively examines the long history of herbal healing, the politics and economics of medicine, the failure of orthodox cancer therapies, and the overwhelming positive experiences of Hoxsey patients. Dramatic, compelling and inspirational, the film unequivocally establishes the Hoxsey Therapy as one of the leading nontoxic cancer treatments available today.
