Frequently Asked Questions
Health Institute de Tijuana Reviews
I had received a prostate cancer diagnosis, Gleason score of 8-9. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic tried to hustle me into having a radical prostatectomy. I experienced high pressure and fear tactics from mayo and other doctors when I sought another opinion. I first learned about The Gerson regimen while watching the series the truth about cancer. Additional research on the efficacy of the Gerson regimen and the abysmal side effects of traditional cancer treatments where the catalyst for me going to the clinic in Mexico. From my initial contacts with representatives of the Gerson Institute I was taken by there low pressure, thoughtful and considerate approach to potential clients. I had some concerns about going to Mexico, but when we arrived at the clinic those worries quickly subsided. It is located in a very nice location in the Playas neighborhood 4 blocks from the beach. The staff was absolutely lovely and dr. Cervantes was incredible. The care I received there was outstanding and I am on my way to a full natural healing.
I attended the only certified Gerson Clinic in Mexico. I arrived 11th May 2013 as a stage 4 terminal cancer patient. I was very sick and malnourished but with a huge will to live.
I spent three weeks at the clinic and had the most amazing experience. Although I was at the clinic fighting for my life I was treated with such respect and felt that everyone working at the clinic were there to help me get better. I had daily consultations with my Doctor who would explain the therapy and discuss my treatment going forward. The nursing staff did daily follow ups to check on my health and vitality whilst at the clinic. The meal times were the best for me, all the patients would meet for breakfast lunch and dinner and we would share our stories from our health to our families, it became a family unit one I was honoured to be a part of. The clinic itself was well run and from the ladies cleaning our rooms daily to the ladies helping us with the therapy from juicing to making our meals and coffee enema solution, they were all really lovely happy and caring people. I followed up with my Gerson Doctor on a monthly basis by forwarding to him my monthly lab work. A phone consultation was organized and my Doctor would discuss with me any adjustments that needed to be made to my treatment according to the lab results. I have no regrets in choosing this clinic and feel my healing was helped along by making this decision
I was feeling down and my blood pressure was high, but when I left, I had all the energy and my blood pressure was normal.
