Product Description

In 1924, Harry Hoxsey claimed a cure for cancer, herbal formulas inherited from his great grandfather. Thousands of patients swore the treatment cured them; but the medical authorities branded Hoxsey the worst quack of the century. So began a medical war continuing to this day.

By the 1950s Hoxsey's Texas clinic was the world's largest, with branches in 17 states. Two Federal courts upheld his treatment's "therapeutic value." Even his archenemy, the American Medical Association, admitted it does cure some cases. Yet organized medicine banned the therapy, exiling it to Mexico where it claims an 80% success rate today. Why won't medical authorities investigate the treatment? Hoxsey charged a "conspiracy" to suppress alternative therapies. Was Hoxsey a hoax? Or was he the "Quack Who Cured Cancer"?

Hoxsey's alarming scenario may make you angry, but most of all Hoxsey offers hope.

Is there a cure for cancer? Thousands flocked to Harry Hoxsey's clinics across the United States hoping that his herbal and dietary remedy would stave off their life-threatening illnesses. The story of this colorful man and his battle with medical authorities is told in Hoxsey: How Healing Becomes a Crime. Insightful and sympathetic, the film uses contemporary news footage and interviews with those involved, including patients and clinicians at the Tijuana clinic that continues his work. Though there's only anecdotal evidence that his program works, enough people swear by it to provoke at least curiosity in the viewer; it's hard to see how the medical establishment could keep their eyes closed for so long. Whether he was a snake-oil hustler or a mistreated humanitarian, Hoxsey's life makes compelling viewing. --Rob Lightner

effective/alternative cancer clinic intro.......2006-07-05

a nice intro to hoxsey, his clinic(s), and his treatment; valuable to all, from cancer patients(as an intro tool when deciding on treatment) to health care professionals(& especially those still in training/school who haven't been polarized to an allopathic-only mindset). This video came before the (thick) bk, When Healing Becomes a Crime (which is a virtual treasure trove of cancer/treatment info, not just historical or hoxsey specific; highly recommend that you read the bk), and the video is a synopsis of the heart of the bk, minus later history/studies/otherTreatments. I learned of the video via the bk, which is actually one of my textbooks for the class "Cancer: Prevention and Politics," within my natural health degree program.

Greed & Hidden Truths of Cancer Cures.......2004-01-18

By viewing Hoxsey I learned a very important lesson and that is that there are those who really care about you but it is not in the present so called "money motivated health care system" we have in place today. There are very simple remedies out there in which we are not being told about because there is no money to be made in herbal medicine as there is in prescription drugs. The Harry Hoxseys of today are still out there but we are taught from an early age that we should put all our trust in modern medicine and that this is the only way. By viewing this documentary of a wonderful human being who cared and loved his fellow man you will also see that there are other ways we can help ourselves besides running off to a medical doctor every time we come down with an illness. I very highly recommend that if you have any health problems at all that you view this video. May this open your eyes up to the simple things in life.

Customer Reviews:

A heartwarming show!.......2004-12-02

If, like me, you love Pavarotti but are used to seeing the older man who can hardly move, you will find it a great pleasure just to see him literally bouncing around the stage here! It's worth the price just for that cheerful sight! He is absolutely perfect as the lovestruck and touchingly gullible country bumpkin, and it's plain to see that he loves playing as well as singing this part. He perfectly portrays the suffering, the strength, and the simple dignity of Nemorino, as well as his humorous and lovable side. And he's in terrific voice here!

The rest of the cast is also excellent and the ensemble singing is absolutely fabulous. For me, there were no weak links in this performance.

The opera is staged in a traditional manner without overly elaborate or overly realistic sets. It won't be everybody's cup of tea, but I find it charming and exactly suitable to Donizetti's style. The sound and the camera work can be uneven (that's why 4 and not 5 stars) but that is, unfortunately, pretty common in these films of staged performances, and it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the show; I just adjust the volume up and down as needed.

This is the DVD to own for those times when you want to be swept away by the beauty of great opera music, but don't want to end up weeping -- yep, the hero and heroine both live to the end! Like I said at the beginning: it's simply heartwarming!

NOTE ADDED 6/3/06: Don't panic & pay a fortune for a copy of this; it's still available at the Met Opera Shop online for a reasonable price.

Good show.......2004-11-02

Although tempted to give this one five stars, I will say that although Pavarotti is definitely in better shape than we see him in later videos, some might still find him too chubby for the role and also his acting still leaves some to be desired. That aside, his singing is superb, and his acting is the best you generally get from him. I personally find him enjoyable enough for the role visually, and well, downright endearing. All the other cast members are a delight. My favorite is the late great buffo, Sesto Bruscantini - very famous in earlier decades - a once practicing lawyer, who knew over 100 opera roles. His comic timing is absolutely perfect as Dulcamara, and the Metropolitan Opera sets for this production are very engaging with Dr. Dulcamara coming down in a hot-air balloon. It's a terrific show all-around. As long as you are not a Pavarotti-hater, you will be very pleased with this DVD.

Una maravilla y un lujo .......2004-10-05

Antes que todo, debo declarar mi gusto por Pavarotti y mi afán por adquirir cuanto Cd o DVD aparezca de él.
Dicho lo anterior, puedo afirmar, con conocimiento de causa, que de todos los DVD de ópera en que participa ese tenor, este de "El Elíxir del Amor" es, como lo dice el título de esta revisión, una maravilla y un lujo.
Alguna vez le escuché decir a Pavarotti que Donizetti le agradaba mucho, pues su voz se adaptaba perfectamente a los requerimiento musicales de ese autor. Pues bien, eso es patente en esta ópera, en que la perfección y gracia de su canto y su presencia en el papel de Nemorino, son verdaderamente increíbles: Logra todos los tonos naturalmente, se desenvuelve en el personaje como si no lo estuviera representando sino que fuera él mismo, y ejecuta y enfrenta arias y duetos en forma magistral (de hecho, se escucha mejor que en grabaciones de estudio, pues los temas llevan impresa la emoción de estar viviendo la historia en el escenario).
Mas no sólo Pavarotti deslumbra en esta ópera: La interpretación de Adina es muy buena, con una soprano que da, además, con la figura de la mujer: Estilizada, fina, atrayente, y con la mirada que tienen las féminas que se saben cortejadas y que creen poder manejar a su amaño a los varones.
Para qué decir del Dr. Dulcamara, y del enamorado Sargento.
En fin, por todo ello (y no quiero agregar más para dejar algo de sorpresa a quien vea u oiga este DVD) recomiendo abiertamente esta ópera. Y conste que la recomiendo no sólo para los amantes del canto lírico, sino también y especialmente para aquellos que tienen curiosidad por ver una ópera completa: Esta es una buena opción, pues es fácil de escuchar y tiene ritmos que, por italianos, se quedan grabados de inmediato en la mente (... dando ganas de tararearlos después).
Cinco estrellas... Sin ninguna duda.

Airdate: 06/03/07 In 1998, Dr. Jack Kevorkian appeared on 60 Minutes and showed Mike Wallace a videotape of him giving a lethal injection to a man with Lou Gehrig's disease -- a man who said he wanted to die. That tape put Kevorkian in prison for murder for 8 years, and on the day he was released he talked again with Wallace. Kevorkian said that although the conditions of his parole do not allow him to assist a person considering suicide, he will work for the cause in other ways.
