CMN Hospital | Cost and Reviews

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!

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!

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 alivewithlyme@gmail.com 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

Very poor upon arrival but made good progress within a couple weeks. Continued improvement upon return home with good overall improvement with the cancer. Better overall care than I received in the US. Very competent and caring staff. Returned a year later for follow up bc of the impressive care I received. Highly recommend. Arrived given 3 months to live from US doctors. Never lose hope. Dr. Payan and his team gave me new perspectives and their love and faith was transparent.

I’m from The Netherlands and I travelled alone. They picked me up from the hotel in Yuma. Arriving at the hospital 26 August 2019, treatment started immediately, 28 days in a row. Very friendly, compassionate and professional If the treatment worked, time will tell. When I went there I had no cancer activity, still not. If you want to read my full story you can find me on Facebook as Jolanda Trendafilosofa. *Other improvements: My tinnitus (ears) disappeared. I feel overall better. Not sensitive to vibrations and noises anymore. I did not always feel well when I was at the hospital, even when I got home it took me weeks but I do feel good now. I am very sensitive to treatments, even non toxic ones apparantly.

I was very pleased with the care that I received at cmn hospital the staff was wonderful and the food was outstanding. And I guess what stood out to me the most is not only my care it's the way that they treated my wife who is totally blind and was very scared about going Mexico. But after a few days she realized there's not a hospital in America that would have made her any more comfortable then she was there. And by the way she was impressed they would come in three times a day and clean our room and before anyone ever entered they would always touch her and let her know what they was doing. I cannot thank Dr. Payan and his team enough for the care me and my wife received

All we can say is WOW. You are most likely in our shoes .Wondering what is the right decision.This is it. Here is our short story. My wife has a stage 4 breast cancer. Starting 9 years ago she has done all the surgeries, many rounds of chemo and radiation. Since august 2018 on two separate occasions she had radiation and 4 different chemo drugs were used. April 2019 her oncologist had her on immunotherapy drug - Keytruda.Nothing was helping. Its was getting worse. Since then until we went to CMN Hospital she was only walking with the use of a cane, lost over 20 pound and lost any appetite she had. More than 30 minutes up and she had to go back to bad. Fast forward 08/22/2019 on our way to Mexico, CMN Hospital. We talk to Dr.Payan over Skype few days before and decided that this is it. This is a Hospital, not a clinic like some other places (we have researched for months). The first impression is how clean this place is. How friendly everyone is. We got picked up together with another family from Yuma Airport in Arizona. Treatments starts right after you arrive. They are intense. From 7am till 6pm or later sometimes. Many different types. But let me tell you we arrived Thursday and two days later on Saturday she got up and walked all day without her cane. You may think its just a coincidence, well its passed 30 days and she is still without her cane. Appetite is back. She eats well. Speaking of which food there is great. Fresh ,tasty and well prepared. You will be in separate private quarters. Your room is cleaned twice a day. The whole place shines. People don't stop cleaning there. Laundry is done anytime you ask. Its full service. You got nothing to think about, but to get well. We made lots of new friends. They all care for you. For you to get well. Very important -NO POISON HERE. ALL NATURAL AND ALTERNATIVE CARE. AND IT WORKS. We will continue the the program at home. Its a long road ahead ,but honestly we couldn't believe what was done in a short period here, that our highly paid oncologist couldn't do for years. Believe it will happen.

My expectations were very high going into this hospital, reason being I had a special family member who was treated there and they were stage 4. It was everywhere. Its been 3 years for me with no chemo or radiation. I had made up my mind that that would be my absolute last resort if I became desperate. I arrived via Yuma, AZ. I stayed at the Holiday Inn by the airport where I was picked up via medical shuttle van. The woman was very kind and energetic. They helped me with my luggage while I sat in the lobby. The woman explained to me how everything was supposed to work, what treatments I was to do each day and answered any questions I had. As soon as we crossed over the border it was just minutes to the hospital. This place has a fully staffed hospital radiology facility for ct scans etc. They had operation theaters (rooms) and and had an ER room, a pharmacy, kitchen, dental office etc. There was a beautiful chapel inside and i passed a nursery as well. As soon as I was signed in. I was brought to my room which was lit with warm lights, had a soothing ambiance and staff that was friendly. I was was told it was time to get started on my treatment. I met Dr. Payan a couple hours later and he was funny and sweet. He had such a positive attitude and never seemed worried about my condition. It was as if he knew I would be fine. I did all the treatments listed in the treatment summary. on this website. The rest of the assistant physicians and nurses I learned their names and they learned mine. I brought my daughter with me. She stayed in a bed just like mine and ate all of the organic foods and was encouraged to drink tons of water . That was one thing I noticed that was different than other hospitals, they brought water bottles to me throughout the day and they wanted US DRINKING. There was a shuttle that took me shopping or out to eat at a Mexican restaurant when I was feeling good. I was there for 28 days. I had the bone marrow stem cell therapy, ozone therapy, and so many other treatments including snacks from the kitchen. I left with 3 months supply of treatments to take with me. In my life, I have never been treated so special with such gentle loving care. I have phone numbers and emails to contact the staff and I know if my family ever gets cancer or a serious illness or disease that we will go to this hospital.

*** UPDATE!
(May, 2020)
I have received my 8th ALL CLEAR PET Scan! Thank you again to Dr. Payan, Dr. Garcia and the wonderful team at CMN Hospital! I was there in 2015 and have been doing so good! Highly, Highly recommend CMN Hospital
(added bonus: the San Luis AZ border crossing is so quick and easy to get through and the people in San Luis Rio Colorado are gracious & kind, a safe little city)

(Dec. 2018)
CMN Hospital- I went to receive the Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplant, Dendritic Cell immunotherapy, and all other treatments like Hyperbaric Chamber (ozone), their other ozone treatments, I.V.’s and Hyperthermia….and because CMN does NOT use any chemo, I.P.T. or oral chemo drugs. These were the most advanced treatments I could find for Alternative Cancer Treatment (that is impossible to find in the U.S. without having to do the chemo). I’m not sure if this matters to some but at CMN I felt HOPE and LOVE. It was important to me to feel safe at a hospital in a different country. San Luis Sonora is a safe little town, I felt so safe and happy there! I still stay in touch with Dr. Payan every month via video call for the last 2.5 years, he still guides me and cares about me. CMN Hospital changed my life. The treatments were so advanced, and they also believe in God, and healing your mind as well as body. AND…I just had my 6th ALL CLEAR scan! Dr. Payan is the best Doctor I have ever encountered. Highly, Highly recommend CMN Hospital.
