CMN Hospital

Everyone was very compassionate and the facility was very clean. They attended to my needs quickly and I felt well cared for.

I went to CMNACT for treatment a year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It came back after my first lumpectomy and spread to my lymph glands. I again went under the knife and they wanted to do chemo and radiation. I had seen too much as a nurse. My diet change over the past year wasn't enough. I spoke with Shannon with 'Angels for Shannon' and she said CMNACT had more modalities than some of the others. Stem cell transplant was an essential treatment she stated. I was familiar with some of the other clinics as I had visited them when living in LA. I then researched programs in the US, Mexico, and Europe and found CMNACT offered more. My husband and I traveled across country to Yuma, AZ. He (a retired police officer from Los Angeles) wanted to make sure that I would be safe due to the news reports of the crime and hordes of people flooding across the border from Mexico. We spent the night in Yuma before starting my program at the hospital and saw none of that. Our car was parked at the airport with security. Hospital personnel came to pick us up. They spoke English fluently. We never felt in danger crossing the border into Mexico or returning. We even took walks in the small town around the hospital. My husband said he felt more safe there than in Los Angeles where we lived most of our lives. Hospital staff were professional and took care of me and my husband, working hard to do all the treatments. It was a very positive experience. Six months later and I am excited to be returning to CMNACT on my own for three days for a booster and to see everyone who are like my family. Three days ago two of my scans - A CT and MRI are negative for further rogue cell growth. As a grandma I want to live, helping my grandchildren make it on this planet.

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!
