Hoxsey Cancer Salves: A Botanical Approach to Treatment

"In the 1950s the use of herbal cancer salves for tumor destruction and removal had a 75 to 80 percent success rate; but with the advent, first of radiation and later of chemotherapy, the method went underground. In this fascinating and useful book, the author demystifies and revives a major natural method of therapy."-- from publisher's description.
