CHIPSA Hospital | Cost and Reviews

Ask CHIPSA if they remember Kaoy Saechao! They took over $33,000 from her, and then told her she would have to go back home after 3 days there, BUT promised to refund her $19,641. This was in November 2019. Kaoy died on January 5th, 2020. She has a son who needs this money. CHIPSA paid back $5,000 in July 2020, and $4,500 in October 2020. And that was due to me chasing them for payback. The employee who I was dealing with has left, and they ignore any requests. They still owe Kaoy $10,141.53. This is going to be paid back and this scam will be exposed. They have the money, but they do not think anything can be done because Kaoy was from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. They are wrong! And Doctors in Canada say CHIPSA was negligent and not trained well, because the medicals we sent them clearly showed she was too far along to be cured. NOW IT'S JUNE 1, 2021 Well......Kaoy Saechao (and her son) is STILL waiting for the balance of the money owed to her, even though she passed away on January 5th, 2020. Her son requires the balance of the refund to help support himself. He was with her during her very short stay at CHIPSA. 18 months have gone by and he is STILL waiting for the balance of his refund!

I know that many patients had positive outcomes while receiving treatment at CHIPSA. The immunotherapy simply didn’t work on my type of cancer. It was devastating when you put all of your hope (when oncologists at home gave you none)into a program that did not succeed. I learned a lot, changed my entire life (all green.....everything), and beating this horrible disease anyway :)

I'm a bit of a rare case, because most people come here when conventional medicine has not worked or they were sent home to die. Being someone who has known of the Gerson Protocol for years and living in Canada where are health care system is terrible in regards to integrative medicine I came here. Being a person that at a young age knew that most MD's don't ever fix anything, rather just mask the symptoms, I knew building the system up via overdosing on nutrition was the answer. Who would have thought? The easiest thing for me to do would have been to stay home and have the tumor removed and carry on. However I knew that all the various new treatments they added in addition to Gerson Protocol would have dramatic positive impact on overall health and protection against a reoccurring cancer down the road. Reason being is, for anyone considering, the dendritic cell therapies, along with some new immunotherapy's they have introduced, will train your immune system to recognize the cancer cells and abolish them. That's the missing link that most people don't understand. If your finger gets infected, cutting it off isn't the answer. Training your body to fight it is. This is why I will always implement these systems and continue to go back a few times a yr as a health retreat. I'm hoping one day, there will be more people like me who recognize, this is not the last stop when conventional has failed or given up. This should be looked at as, not just a place to go heal cancer, but rather a place for overall conditions. Anyone that goes here that has other health issues, will see great improvement. People need to look at these places as healing centers not a last ditch attempt. I'm hoping one day we will have clinics all over North America like this, that people go to like a gym to maintain health. After all, the cure for cancer is not getting it in the first place. The people there are very friendly and the staff do go the extra mile. You don't feel like a number and as busy as these Dr's and nurses are, they take the time to go over things and bend over backwards. No one is perfect, however you do feel like you literally have personal assistants getting you anything you need. I wish I could remember all the Names of the people I made contact with, but a shout out to Dr Matt, Dr Menes, Sara Peterson, Lola and all the other nurses and coordinators. Even the girl at the front desk at the outpatient clinic is such a caring person. Nothing is a guarantee in this life or clinic and they won't promise you anything. But I can promise you, that you will get better results here then conventional. Ive seen a lot of people that were given death sentences make miraculous remissions and are still here today, you should too.

My wife was at the clinic Nov/Dec 2017 as an out-patient, we were picked up at the Airbnb place we rented, by the hospital every day and got transportation back to the residence. The cost was $24'000 for 3 week treatment. The treatments worked wonders for my wife. The diet (modified Gerson diet) is a bit boring, but if you have cancer then it is a small thing to endure. We felt a nice care given by the really friendly staff. The treatments included a low dose chemo, vitamin B17 (Leatrite) IV, high dose of vitamin C with K3 IV's, Coley's bacteria treatment shot(for waking up the immune system) vitamin B12 shots, Ozone blood infusion, hyperbaric oxygen treatment (2x atmospheric pressure with pure oxygen to breath in), 3 times a day coffee enemas, infrared heat treatment, Gerson diet with many juiced drinks etc. Perhaps looking back it would have been good to get a thorough assessment with the doctors before discharge, and perhaps she would have survived if she stayed longer? We took 3 month worth of treatment medication home ($8000) but the medication was not enough to prevent my wife's cancer to rear it's ugly effect again. By the time we realized that she was failing fast, we could not travel again back to Chipsa. After 1/2 a year passed by she went to be with the Lord.

After 3 weeks of going through 7 therapies I was cancer free. I was so sick the whole time I was there but having my sister there to help me was huge and everyone was so very nice and encouraging. After 6 months I’m still cancer free and found a doctor that will continue some maintenance treatments actually covered by insurance. I now eat organic - take all my supplements supplies by Chispa - do coffee enemas daily andantes getting stronger every day.

Lab tests were good. Too early to know outcome of the treatments. Will return in three months for follow-up which will give me a better idea.

My brother Peter has shown improvement since coming back from Chipsa. He is still very ill but amazingly his blood work looks good, his cough is gone, his oxygen levels are back to normal. We know it's going to be a long journey but he already has exceeded the timeline his previous doctors had given him. We have no doubt that taking him to chipsa was a great decision.

Allie was 9 at the time she was given the fatal diagnosis. We had put a plan together to spend 3 weeks at CHIPSA and get the Issels vials (which are injected weekly for three months) and then be treated in the States using a combination of hyperbaric, cannabis, infrared, and a number of other treatments. Cannabis dehydrates you, so IV with Meyer cocktail was on the menu as well. CHIPSA follows the Gerson plan which is a vegan diet with lots of juicing and coffee enemas. While this is typically helpful for body cancers, brain cancers are a little different. We did the Gerson diet while we were in the clinic, but then switched to a more brain supporting diet when we got home. Our plans were changed and put on hold due to custody issues stemming from the fact that she was a minor and that we were straying from the conventional course of treatment; which was hospice. We had legal issues with various state agencies which we had to resolve, which delayed her care. The doctors at CHIPSA worked with the case worker investigating the medical neglect charge to resolve the issue. She had a repeat MRI about five months after the first one, and although they saw tumor progression, it was not as far as they thought she would be, she was still asymptomatic, and she was still alive. She lived almost ten months (she was expected to live 3) from the surgery which started the journey, and much of that credit goes to the Issels we got at CHIPSA. We had so many things go wrong throughout the course of her 5 year battle, CHIPSA was one of the few things that went right. Can you share any important tips for anyone considering this clinic? Choose Alternative, Conventional, or to let the disease run it's course, but choose. You don't have as much time as you think you have. For every person who fights the battle and wins, there are a hundred who started the journey too late, or refused to get off the fence. If you go, you are making the decision to fight, and win. You will be putting yourself in the company of others who have done the same, and you will make friends with fighters. It's not just about the location, the staff, or the therapies, it's about the type of people you will spend your time with while in treatment. They will become a second family if you let them.

We contacted chipsa hospital because my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Actually, our stay there was good. The doctors and all the people who worked there were amazing and always tried their best to make us feel at home. The treatments were working (at least for my mom... most of the people who were there at the same time with us, didn’t get the results they were expecting). Our main issues were: 1- We found out their take home medications are WAY overpriced compared to the local pharmacies. We were being charged more than $20K and the local pharmacies were charging $13K (for the exact same medications)...so we asked questions and they didn’t like that. From that moment we were treated very poorly by the owners (to say it nicely). 2- Also, their aftercare was awful. It was hard to talk to them or get any information after we were gone. These things were experiences that other people that were there at the same time as us had as well.

On April 8, 2018 my father was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma - primary tumor 12.5cm by 10cm in right lung with metastases to left lung, hip bone, neck and lymph nodes. On April 24th he chose to receive treatment in Sloan Kettering in NYC. He received one dose of Keytruda, Alimta and Carboplatin. The next 3 weeks were miserable for him. He could not walk, had constant vertigo, bone pain, low grade fever, neuropathy, insomnia, no appetite. When we returned on May 15th for our follow up appointment at MSK the oncologist said my dad did way worse than she expected and attributed all the symptoms to Keytruda the immunotherapy and said our options were palliative chemo to extend life approximately 12 months or to stop treatment altogether. My father chose not to do the palliative chemo and instead we decided to go to CHIPSA. We knew about it from my friends and heard good stories of people currently treated there. Before getting to CHIPSA we had a call with the intake coordinator who explained all the logistics, room booking, schedules and prices. She arranged a phone consult with one of the doctors in the hospital. We had a long conversation to determine a tentative treatment plan. Getting to the hospital in Tijuana was a seamless experience. Our intake coordinator was with us every step of the way. Once at the hospital, we were shown to our room, given a tour of the hospital, had an orientation, met with nurses and physicians, had preliminary lab work, x rays and learned about the Gerson therapy that my dad would be following as part of his treatment. After xrays showed the mass unchanged from the month and half prior in NY and blood work results examined, a treatment plan was drafted and followed for the next 3 weeks. Aside from Gerson Therapy with juices and coffee enemas, my Dad received IV ozone, Apatone, B17, chelation, an immuno-oncology vaccine ValloVax and many other treatments. 2 weeks into the treatment we went to an imaging facility to get a CT scan. To everyone's surprise my Dad's tumor was 35% smaller. We were amazed with the results. My Dad was feeling and looking better. We went back to NY and continued the protocols he was given to follow at home with the Gerson therapy and custom tailored supplement plan. We returned for a 2nd 3 week stay at CHIPSA and after that stay my Dad's tumor was down to 4cmx4cm and all metastases down to tiny nodules. My dad was feeling so good he went back to work full time for the few months at home after our 2nd stay at CHIPSA. We are now 6+ months post the diagnosis day when the oncologist told my Dad he had no options. We have a lot of hope and see the improvements every day. His tumor markers are in normal range and we are excited to see future scans. Can you share any important tips for anyone considering this clinic? Everyone at CHIPSA has been exceptional and we could not recommend them enough. There are options out there and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They offer the option to tour the hospital before enrolling. For us, every day of inaction with that rapidly growing tumor was a day setting us back a lot so we jumped into action fast and did not waste time on tours etc. BUT if you can afford the time I think touring gives people some peace of mind knowing where they're going beforehand.
