Advanced Gerson Therapy Clinic (Northern Baja, Mexico)

We had a very unpleasant experience dealing with Dr. Patrick Vickers at the Advanced Gerson Clinic in Rosarito, Mexico. Turns out he has a very dark side and it really doesn't take much to trigger it, so beware. He actually stole $1,000 from us! Here is the story. We had signed up and wired a $10,000 deposit in good faith around December 18, 2022, a few weeks prior to our visit around the January 10, 2023 timeframe. There was a delay after we sent the deposit of over a week where we heard nothing back from Patrick after having received immediate responses prior to having sent payment. That was a little unsettling. We emailed him and then he became somewhat curt, dismissive and chastising when we did hear back saying "he refused to disturb his team during their winter break" which of course we knew nothing about and hadn't ask him to disturb them, we just wanted an update. When we finally heard back from Stephanie at the clinic around Jan 2nd or 3rd, barely a week prior to our scheduled departure, we were informed that we would need to bring $5000 IN CASH to be paid upon our arrival. My husband found that unusual, as all the other Gerson clinics we were talking to accepted payments by credit card, Paypal, etc...My hubby wasn't really comfortable with that and found it inconvenient and asked Stephanie if they would accept a cashier's check. She said she would ask Dr. Vickers if that was acceptable. Apparently, it was not, because the next thing that happened was we received an email from Dr. Vickers canceling our attendance and saying he doesn't accept patients with metastases. Well, there was no cancer metastases - my husband was recently diagnosed with local prostate cancer, and we had sent him all the medical records, so he was, or should have been, fully aware of that. During his discussion with Stephanie my husband had inquired about a first floor room because he had fallen skiing in late November and had injured his hip and after a month it still wasn't improving and he was having to use crutches to get around and was in quite a bit of pain with every move, let alone step. So Dr. Vickers said he would refund the money. Well, we got the check, but instead of it being $10,000 it was $9,000!! What!! We were in shock. When we got the check we were actually being treated at another Gerson Clinic and they were a dream to work with compared to Patrick. So my husband inquired about the missing $1,000 and Patrick Vickers laid into him calling him, and I quote directly, "a coward" (I guess for not wanting to carry $5k in cash?) and then told my husband that it was useless for him to attempt to get his $1,000 back because Patrick was "Very well connected" with the "government in Mexico" and "he couldn't be touched." Again, what??!! Is he bribing them or something. He then encouraged my husband to do whatever he was going to do quickly because "you don't have much time." For a man who claims to want to heal people what kind of a sick, mean statement is that?? This man is petty, vindictive and steals money from people who he thinks are sick and weak!!! He claims he has the right to withhold 10% based on his "policy of terms." But WE NEVER CANCELED, HE CANCELED US. He provided no service whatsoever to us. I am beyond dismayed and shocked that a man purporting to heal people would resort to these tactics. Apparently Patrick was angry that we asked if there was a possibility for a first floor room and claimed that back in December he had asked my husband if a 2nd floor room would be Ok. However, how were we to know two weeks later, my husband's hip would be no better. Also Patrick was angry because, due to the lack of communication from Patrick, my husband started getting uncomfortable with the silence so he completed an inquiry form on Patrick's website soon after we paid and used my name in a hope to gain more information through some kind of automated email follow up he thought might be in place. He was wrong, as Patrick say the website form fill and it confused him after he realized we were already signed up and had paid $10k. For some reason, this made Patrick extremely angry for which we believe he felt us worthy of punishment by canceling us and taking 10% of the $10,000 we had wired him in good faith! So as I said in the beginning of my post, let the buyer beware of dealing with Patrick Vickers. He is not an ethical man and unfortunately, we found out the hard way, that he is unstable and cannot be trusted. We will probably be reaching out to the American Embassy in Mexico about this, as well as taking other measures. I doubt he is well connected there.

Lost 30+ lbs. Feeling better

I can’t thank Dr. Vickers and his incredible team enough! They have saved my Dad’s life! He went from having an over 2” bleeding cancerous tumor to now 8 months later he looks and feels 20 years younger. While he has another year+ on the therapy, his cancer is a thing of the past. He was given 10 months to live and he’ll probably live to 100+! If you or someone you love has cancer (or any other chronic disease!) go see Dr. Vickers and his team - they are top notch and have a world class facility to heal!

On 17 July 2021 (Sat), the manager of the centre at Rosarito, Mexico suddenly announced that everyone has to pack and leave as the authorities will be raiding the premises the next day. In a few hours, the whole place was empty as their staff went busy packing up stuff and furniture on their 21st floor of the building, including juicers, supplements, fridge, mattresses, etc. Does this mean they have been operating without proper licensing all along? We were caught completely unaware and left in the lurch. All these despite having already paid high fees for treatment in the region of US$30k++ for a 4 week treatment and stay. As a centre that claims to heal and treat, their actions are unbelievably unethical without care for their sick patients. Hope the authorities will check on the veracity of the owners and give justice to the patients.

the doctor (a chiropractor) and owner of this facility neglected to tell us when we paid in advance for treatment at his clinic was in Europe at the time - there were cameras in common areas and when we asked why they said becasue of theft. The food was low quality and for us unediable. I have since been to Optimal Health Institute ( OHI in Austin, TX) this was a poorly run operation on multiple levels.There were really bad smells in this facility (which was located on one of the top floors) and our room wasn't clean. I had brought my sister with me. The manager confided in us that a lot of people leave - and we did. We were promised over the phone a full refund - which not only happened but were verbally abused regarding our desire to leave by the owner Dr. Patrick. We spent just a couple hours there and a long, expensive journey to get there - so this not what we were hoping for. But the worse part was that "Dr. Patrick" the owner sent me a ugly email saying that we were disgusting human beings ... vipers - it went on and on. I was shocked by it. But glad that he revealed his true nature which made our painful decision to leave more tenable. I recommend Optimal Health Clinic for $1250 to $1500 a week - a fraction of the cost of most clinics and so many classes (including exercise and meditation) its located on a beautiful estate with luxuriant gardens. And they have 42 years reversing cancer. They have the kindest and most experienced people on staff - including several PHds who offer free workshops all day long. As well as learning about wheatgrass, how to grow it and its medicinal properties in helping to heal cancer.

Upon arriving to the clinic I was in excruciating pain, massively depressed, I had gained nearly 48lbs and barely eating anything. In only 3-5 days, the symptoms reduced greatly and in 10 days I was nearly 100% pain free. I was able to sleep, I dropped weight, my gut pain was gone, even the headaches and brain throb was nearly gone! The staff is SO SO caring, so kind, loving... it's absolutely incredible!

Ongoing with full Gerson Therapy after 3 weeks at this wonderful place to learn all about it.

My experience at the clinic was great! Even met or exceeded my highest expectations on every level. The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, all the people were amazing. Everything was just totally taken care of from the moment we walked in the door. All of my symptoms had eased within just a few days of starting the treatment. I had my ups and downs energy-wise, but space was always given for plenty of rest and recovery. This is an amazing place and a life transformational jump start to a full on Gerson Therapy program if you're up for it.

💯 satisfied with my treatment Cancer diagnosis July 2019 Currently ONE YEAR cancer FREE I recommend anyone go with any type of ailment I believe in them so strongly!
