CMN Hospital | Cost and Reviews

I did not know what to expect. I do know after 6 months of very strong chemotherapy with severe side effects, and the chemo never even worked, i thought I was going to die. I went on a mission and found CMN hospital because I always believed in alternative care versus poison ..Dr Payan was the nicest, caring, compassionate knowledgeable doctor I have ever met. And I have met a lot of doctors. Alma was wonderful and will Always be My friend.the staff was wonderful. I cannot wait to get back.

I was treated for prostate cancer. The staff was great. Dr. Payan brought his dog in because I missed my dog. My PSA remains undetectable. I've been off of all my meds for 3 months. It's too early to know for certain that i am cured, but it's looking like i am. I highly recommend CMN Hospital for treatment.

October 2021 UPDATE: I came back to CMN for my 6 month follow up. My second home. While the trip went by way too fast my three days there were incredible. They are truly amazing and considered family. Mental Health is their top priority and that means the world to me. The detox was much needed and I’m so happy i was able to come back. The food was amazing per usual and Alma took us around to some restaurants and stores. She always feels like home! Sad to leave but it’s a “i’ll see you later” i’ll never say goodbye to them! **** Feb 26, 2021: Wow! Upon arriving, i was in a wheelchair, had blurred vision and basically incoherent. I was greeted by Dr. Payan the moment I came through the door. I was terrified of coming because of how bad I felt but I did it! Within the first two weeks, I noticed a 95% difference in my symptoms and was up walking! The nurses here are nothing short of amazing! My experience here is one to remember and definitely helped changed my perspective considering I was given a death sentence of 6 months to live by my oncologist at home. Dr. Payan and his staff changed my life forever and really helped me see that I can get through anything. The food is also super amazing and I’m going home with some recipes! Everyone here treats you like family and I felt loved from day 1. No matter what we needed, it was provided for us and with absolute love! I can’t wait to revisit in 6 months! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to heal physically and change their mental. Cancer is not a death sentence and detoxing here has been a blessing! I wish there were centers like this in the USA! I can’t wait to continue my detox at home and heal completely! Feb 2021.

An Experience like no other! From the day we were picked up to the time we were dropped off at the airport, we were treated like familia. I was treated like I mattered, that my life was important, my opinion was important, no matter what question I had or if there was something extra I needed, it always provided. All the staff at CMN from grounds keeper to nurses, doctors etc. are rockstars, even though I live far away I will be taking them home with me in my heart and they are my family now. I can not stress enough how important it is for the mind and heart to be treated the way I was treated at CMN, I feel it was just as important as the treatments….CMN 1 million percent provides the full circle of treatment needed to heal. Treatments - there is a full spectrum of treatments and completed everyday, 7 days a week, it is a full day. From the first week to the last week I can’t explain in words but I feel better. Nothing is 100% guaranteed, but I know I will never regret my decision coming to CMN. I know what the outcome is with conventional treatment, I had nothing to lose to treat my body in order for my body to do what it is suppose to. Scans in 3 months, I will provide an update.

There are additional cancer butt kicking tools in my arsenal thanks to CMN Alternative Cancer Hospital! Whether people choose to do a little chemo, no chemo, or a mix of both chemo and integrative- it’s also important to support your body through the therapies provided by CMN to have a stronger immune system and better outcomes with the rest of your therapies. CMN took great care of me from meals, to outings, to recreational options, to laundry, to making sure I rest as a patient.

Background was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer June 2016 with one node involved but many removed when operated. Went through process of Chemo, double mastectomy and immediate recon with nipple sparing and last radiation was all done by March 2017. Got recurrence in my brain Oct 2017 as a single concealed tumor in the right side of cerebellum which did craniotomy and then focused radiation. Then occurred in 2018 left .5mm did Gamma knife then in few months many occurred did Whole Brain Radiation (which I wish I hadn’t) and went on prap inhabator Telezoparib was clear for 2years and now again 1 or 2 spots .3mm keep reoccurring because I was tired of badgering my body with conventional treatment, I came across Shannon Knight’s Interview with Chris Wrack I managed to contact her to know more about CMN it took me 2 years of debating cause I live in Dubai to go to Mexico that also for a month was difficult. But Shannon’s experience and Skype chat with Dr Payan left no doubt in my mind and I went to Cmn in July 2021 for a 28 day program. I was extremely impressed by the care and compassion shown to me by all the nurses Carlos, Erika, Itzel, Ismael catering staff Melva, Elenita also ofcourse Elma and Monica who assist patients with their other needs and requirements . Most importantly I wanted thank Dr Payan who answered every query and comforted me and last but not the least Dr Garcia (who covered for dr Payan at times). All staff is massed 24 hours (expect when I took pics with them) .The premises is very clean and they sanatize atleast 3-4 times a day. Had 8-9 treatments from morning to late afternoon kept me very busy, I had someone or the other family member with me for which they were very accommodative (1 family member can stay and eat for free in the patients room). On the whole the experience was great would recommend for any patient who is looking alternative treatment for cancer should look into CMN in St Luis, Mexico. Pls call their no and book a Skype with Dr Payan My scans are due next month praying to God and crossing my fingers.

After hearing my options for treatment in the US I decided to go directly to CMN for my cancer treatment. I could not be happier with the care I received there. My husband was able to stay in the room with me. Both of us have nothing but good to say. We were treated so well! I jumped into the protocol the very first day I was there. There’s not much free time. Days are filled with one treatment after another. I had a mastectomy after being there one week. I was very comfortable with everything and not nervous at all. The very next day I was back to the treatments. Dr. Payan and his entire staff are wonderful, caring people. It’s obvious that everyone working there genuinely cares and truly believes in the work they’re doing there. When my 28 days were up, it was hard to leave and say our goodbyes to everyone. I look forward to going back for my 6 and 12 month check-ups and see everyone again. I would highly recommend Dr. Payan and CMN Hospital to anyone who doesn’t want to take the chemo/radiation route for their cancer treatment. You do have options!

It’s been exactly one year since my treatment at CMN Hospital, so to me, my review is very solid reference to those looking for a treatment facility. I didn’t want to write it too soon, so here is my review of this facility. When I arrived in Mexico, the process was simple. I flew into Yuma and right outside the terminal I was greeted by a representative of CMN, she was driving a clean and brand new vehicle and spoke fluent Spanish and English. We started our journey to the hospital, it was easy to go through the border with their fast access pass they were able to obtain for their patients. Arriving at CMN I remember looking around the small quaint town and immediately fell in love with my surroundings. It was calm and peaceful area, the facility has a small outside patio for us as patients to visit during our stay with them. When I went upstairs, the wing I was staying in was dedicated to patients like me, we were secluded and it was wonderful. I had my own private suite, with my own TV, my own AC unit, and my own full bathroom. It was very quiet, very clean, and very comfortable to say the least. I was greeted by the CMN staff, everyone was very kind and compassionate towards me. All the staff spoke fluent English and Spanish. The staff communicated every treatment very thorough and answered any questions I had regarding the treatments, honestly anything in general. The first week was a little bumpy for me, I had a lot of doubts and my mind wasn’t in the right place. After all I have been fighting with a disease and an illness for so many years that I became bitter and felt like there was barely any hope to get better. On top of that, as we started the treatment I started having flair ups, migraines, throwing up, and just felt like crap overall. I knew that meant my body was responding to the treatment, so I was patient with myself. During that time the staff made me as comfortable as possible, they are with you 24 hours a day, everyday, we are never alone on our healing journey. Moving on to the second week, I started feeling better, I started getting more and more energy and was attending group therapy and individual therapy to help me mentally as well. This hospital focuses on mind, body, and soul and as we heal we must be able to heal all three aspects. The daily routine was wake up around 7am start treatment until around 8/9pm daily, no days off, which is great for us because that is why we are here - to heal! The meals are outstanding, they are made fresh daily and tailored to what you like and what you don’t like while encompassing healthy eating - I felt like I was at a 5-star resort the way they treated me and fed me. On my downtime, I would visit the community room. In this room they had a couch, art therapy, yoga, small exercise section, and a television. Some days I would paint, other days I would do yoga, and a few days I peddled on the bicycle. During the weekdays, I was visited by Dr Payan who is very compassionate, loving, and passionate about his patients. He would explain the next steps in the treatments, answer any questions I may have, explain lab work to me, and was willing to do any additional lab work necessary that I may wanted done to double check any doubts I did have. During the night and on weekends, I was visited by Dr Garcia. He was a sweetheart, just like Dr Payan, and was very knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about his patients as well. I am wholistic and a naturalist, while I was there they were very respectful of my practices. There was a time I woke up with a piercing migraine, I was crying, and in severe pain, immediately a nurse came into my room and asked me if I wanted pain killers. I explained I was wholistic but the pain was to severe so I agreed to the medicine but ask for a very small dosage, the nurse had no issues with this and administered it via IV. I went to this facility for neurological Lyme Disease, prior to going I tried so many different protocols, herbs, western medicine, etc. Lyme would go away at times, but always creep it’s way back into my life after a few weeks. I spent so much money chasing a cure, chasing hope, chasing wellness.... now looking back I wish I would have made the decision to go to CMN sooner. It’s been over a year, I have not had any flair ups, perhaps I am in remission perhaps I did exactly what I wanted... I rid myself of the dis-ease, finally healed, and rather than finding a cure I focused on eradicating the disease. I couldn’t have done this without the help from CMN Hospital, not only did every single treatment help, but their gentle and kind approach did wonders. While you are here, do you part in the process, drink the tea, take your supplements, take the LDN dosages, be open minded, accept help, realize we don’t know all, eat the healthy food, and let the treatments do what they were intended to do - heal us. I recommend anyone that is struggling with the decision to reach out to me via email, I’m here for those that need help deciding if this is right facility for you. My email is [email protected] reach out, I will always find time for you! It does not matter what disease we have, it all starts with our immune system and blood, and this is what they focus on while we are at CMN. While I was at CMN, other patients were there, but never more than 8 patients. I met an amazing women that was fighting cancer that was from the Netherlands, and two other women that were fighting cancer from the states. While I was there my staff included the cleaning crew: Raquel and Celia, my laundry crew: America and Rosa, my kitchen crew: Carmen, Elena, and Nadia, and the amazing nurse crew: Itzel, Karen, Marixa, Ishmel, Alma, Carlos, Erika, and Luis. I’ll leave this review with my favorite quote from the father of medicine, Hippocrates, “if someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him.”

Im in my last week of treatment at CMN. The staff has been amazing. I can tell that they truly care. The hospital is extremely clean. Alma took me on regular outings. They used every day that I was here (even weekends). No coronovirus patients are treated atthis hospital. The town is small and safe. I was on 4 reflux meds per day when I arrived, as well as tramadol arou the clock for pain. After 3 days I was able to stop reflux meds and stopped pain meds after a week. There was no pressure to stop any meds. Labs were checked regularly and any issues that came up were treated (I had a uti that was able to be treated before synptoms started.) Dr Payan is incredible and is not afraid to be asked why he does things the way he does. Hes very competant , encouraging, and has scientific reasons for his methods
