September 11, 2019 at 2:04 amThis is the most outstanding center!! The moment you step through the door you are greeted like long lost family! You instantly breathe a sigh of relief and know that everything is going to be ok and that you are in the best of hands!! You are treated like you matter!! The various therapies offered are incredible! Too much to go into detail in a review! I highly recommend this place! I loved the environment so much I didn’t want to leave!

May 22, 2019 at 2:42 amThe Drs and Staff including the caring nurses, dining and specialized diet cooking and serving staff, physical therapist I used for extra massage and the office and liaison staff went above and beyond. Everyone was incredible, hard working and caring in giving treatments per Dr Bautista/Dr Alvarez individualized orders. I stayed longer for 6 weeks of outpatient treatment and felt that they used so many different treatments that I would not have been able to get in the states… Four months later, upon return for a repeat PET scan there was quite a bit of improvement…..I continue performing the recommended 6 day per week home program and will see how I am doing when I return for another PET scan in a few weeks. With stage 4 it is a personal lifelong commitment. You can look the center up on line for more details.

May 8, 2019 at 2:22 amI stayed for three weeks. My tumor markers dropped 26 points while I was there. My first pet scan after returning to the USA showed only one area of cancer activity and it was only 3.5. My second pet scan six months later showed no cancer activity. My tumor markers are now within the normal range as well. I had only taken one round of Ibrance with Letrozol before going.

April 4, 2019 at 1:04 amI was in remission after chemo and radiation for 9 months and suffering every day not feeling well and always in the doctors office for an issue,in other words I was beat down and not getting any better until I went to ITC and Detoxed & spent 3 weeks- I kid you not I feel normal again 4 years later and who knows if I would have lasted if I didn’t make this move? I went from a 30 – 40% chance of 5 years survival to a whopping 90% chance & here I am 5 years Remission feeling great mentally,physically, and spiritually

March 19, 2019 at 3:09 amHello everyone. My husband had stage 3 cancer of the urethra when we found it. It was aggressive and invasive.
The doctors wanted to give him three months of chemo that would weaken his heart AFTER giving him a shot that would kill his immune system prior to cutting out his bladder, prostate, and lymph nodes and then fitting him with a bag. Then the cancer still had a 40% recurrence rate even after all of that.
WE DID NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE/PATH!
We chose Immunity Therapy Center in Tijuana because it had all if the treatments we were looking for and more. In addition, we were able to talk to real people, patients and doctors, there at the clinic.
Results to date, the cancer is shrinking rapidly according to our last MRI. I expect it will be gone by our next MRI. I met so many people who came to the center after bleak prognoses and who walked out cancer free.
It was the most loving and healing setting I could have hoped for. It dares exceeded my expectations.

March 14, 2019 at 1:56 amTo begin, Jennifer’s cancer came on rapidly. We drive a truck and were in Chicago when my wife became confused. I took over the driving and we came home. Saw the Dr. and they thought it was a UTI. After a week she was getting weaker and losing weight fast. We returned to the Dr. twice with the same prognosis. Finally, we went to the ER where they took x-rays and found some spots they were concerned with and set us up with the oncologist the following week. During the weekend Jen went from being weak to requiring a wheelchair. Got her to the Dr. And they said they haven’t heard back from the insurance company about coverage and wouldn’t perform any tests.
Said it could take up to a week. I told them she wouldn’t last another week. Didn’t seem to faze them so we told them forget it and we needed to do something else.
That’s when we came across ITC. After speaking with them we flew down to San Diego they picked us up and took us across the border to our hotel. The shuttle from the hotel took us to the clinic where they already instantly put her into therapy. It was amazing. The building is sort of a narrow, tall building with an elevator and a lot of stairs.
Jen arrived in a wheelchair but within 3 days she was walking up and down the stairs.
The therapy is primarily immunotherapy. All sorts of things that boost your immune system. Vitamins and supplements, for the most part, some chemo if necessary, but the dosage is determined by your need.
Jen is currently on 5% for 2 weeks, off 3 weeks then on for 2 again. This will continue until they say it’s no longer needed. There are also some therapeutic machines. Typically heat and frequency. (A few seem sort of hokey but it’s all part of the program)
The program is originally scheduled to last 3 weeks but can be extended if needed or canceled if you decide it’s not for you. Jen was the for 4 weeks.
Costs were about $6k per week. Most vitamins and supplements were included but there are some meds that are needed in most cases that are extra.
Food is a very important component in fighting cancer. They have a kitchen there and the food takes some getting used to (Some you’ll never get used to). 2 meals a day are included in the price. Guests are welcome to eat there also at about $10 ea. There are some options about eating. Street vendors, some fast food within walking distance. I always ate with my wife to offer what support I could.
The folks at the clinic always make you feel important. Very dedicated to their jobs and not there just for a paycheck.
Clients there become family. We were there with Americans, Chinese, Canadians, Brits, Indians, and others. Christians, Muslims, and Hindus. We were all going through the most challenging times in our lives and ignored petty political differences to focus on support for one another. I am an introvert by nature, and I was impressed.
Lastly, I don’t want to give you false expectations or promises. This is a deadly disease, and some of the folks we were there with are not with us anymore. I can tell you that I am convinced that for us it was the best option. Being that cancer is mainly a failure of the immune system to destroy cancerous cells, that enhancing the immune system to combat cancer makes more sense than trying to poison it out of you.
It’s estimated that my Jen had about 1 week to live.
She’s back to driving and has been for 6 months now. Energy is much better than before. She’s lost that cancer frown that was on her face before and the sparkle is back. She’s a little thin but gaining there also. It seems that those who fared out best were those who came to the clinic sooner than later. Jen never had any chemo or radiation in the states and I’m thankful for it.
This is a very personal choice for you and I pray for your well-being whichever way you decide.
Tijuana was a pleasant surprise. People are EXTREMELY friendly. Some cultural differences but you’ll get by just fine. They will try to get you to speak Spanish but in a very good-natured way.
God bless you,
Mick and Jen.

March 5, 2019 at 12:38 pmI attended ITC for 8 weeks (Aug & Sep 2018) and found it to be one of the greatest decisions I have made in my lifetime!!!
I was diagnosed in Canada on June 22 2018.. So it’s been over 8 months since I was told that I had stage 4 cancer with a mass over 20cms growing rapidly in my abdomen (that was pushing painfully against my spine)
There was no hope for recovery.. I was told, “All we can do is keep you comfortable” until I died..
First I’d like to take a moment to thank God that I am still here! 😂 it was touch and go there for a while.. but I can gratefully say that each day is a gift to me!
I figured it was about time to give everyone an update on how I am feeling, and to answer a question that I keep hearing over and over.. “What did they do in Mexico? How did they heal you?”
Well, I am feeling better now than I have in 20 years! I stopped taking all prescription pain meds in August (in fact, I am no longer taking any prescription meds at all!!)
I have been back to work full time since Oct 15 and loving it!
“What did they do in Mexico???”
I have to smile every time I hear that.. because there are so many things that I can say in answer to that question.. but let me try to boil it all down to a simple statement.
They taught me how to live.
They taught me that to live I had to love.. love life.. love my wife.. love my family
I spent 2 months living with the most amazing group of caring people who gave tirelessly of themselves for 12 hours a day with a smile on their faces.
Every memory I have of the Immunity Therapy Clinic is positive.. the staff are absolutely amazing!
They also taught me that my body wants to heal itself.. feed it properly, and it will do what it is supposed to.

March 5, 2019 at 3:30 amI spent 6 weeks at the clinic. A PET scan performed one week after returning home showed almost 70% tumor reduction compared to first scan 3 months prior. I am continuing treatment at home. I would recommend this clinic.

March 2, 2019 at 11:54 pmam posting this review directly to the public as an opinion of what I experienced first hand at this facility. My mother was treated at Immunity Therapy Center back in February of 2017. Like any other hopeless daughter experiencing and witnessing a devastating diagnosis of cancer I was ultimately desperate to save my mothers life. I know every case and experience is different. However, my mother and I had the worst experience at Immunity Therapy Center and I do not wish that upon anyone. I was advised by Dr. Bautista and his staff of doctors that they had previously treated 20 patients diagnosed with different types of Leukemia within the past 3 months from February and also had a successful rate of 70-80%, 7 out of 10 patients were cured while the other 3 had overall good results but needed further treatment and I can assure you that I have every email where I was given this false information. This is why I put my faith and trusted Dr. Bautista with my mothers life. However, I suggest for you to save your money and the time remaining that you may have with your loved one. Dr. Bautista only seems to care about receiving a high 5.0 star rating as well as the money that is coming in. He initially treats every patient with the same treatment plan while every patient has a different diagnosis of cancer. Dr. Bautista had the opportunity to save my mothers life and denied a treatment plan that was customized by the hematologist he brought in. I have recordings of every meeting we had with Dr. Bautista and his staff of doctors along with the recording of Dr. Lozano stating he could save my mothers life but needed Dr. Bautista to come to an agreement and approve everything he was asking for. My mother became severely ill due to sepsis and was transported via ambulance to the nearest port of entry into the United States; San Diego, California. After leaving an honest review directly to Immunity Therapy Center via Facebook, Dr. Bautista replied and told me he did not remember who I was. He also believes my family and I are targeting him and states we are leaving negative reviews and defaming his institution. I can assure you that every review left by my family and I are all honest reviews and have legitimate medical records as proof. Dr. Bautista did not have the best intentions when it came to saving my mothers life and the only reason why I have recordings of every meeting is because I trusted Dr. Bautista and his staff of doctors and nurses and put my mothers life in their hands. The recordings were going to be used to write my mothers story, like the fake stories and videos I came across before deciding to visit Immunity Therapy. I was advised by him and his staff that my mother would get better and would live a cancer free life after receiving treatment at their institution. Unfortunately, it was all a lie and scam. After being treated for 2 weeks she became severely ill and everything we were promised was false. Our lives drastically changed at such a fast pace. My mother walked in by foot and was in a wheelchair right after we began treatment at Immunity Therapy Center. Due to the malpractice of one of the nurses, my mother developed severe sepsis. Nurse lacked knowledge when it came to drawing blood. Dr. Bautista took a week to send in the hematologist to visit my mother. When my mother was transported to a local hospital in California, she had nightmares of Dr. Bautista and feared for her life, this too was all noted in her medical records. The ER nurses at the hospital assured me they would typically receive patients from Tijuana who were left fighting for their lives due to treatments they were offered in return of ones health. I am not trying to defame the institution by any means but due to our rights as citizens we have the freedom of speech. I know there are many other patients and family’s who have had similar experiences like ours but fear Dr. Bautista’s threats and I encourage you to leave your review for the sake of saving someone else’s time and money because the human life has no price.

November 16, 2018 at 2:36 amI was happy I was there. But the tumor did not shrink. It was only stabilized.
Can you share any important tips for anyone considering this clinic?
I felt totally safe while I was there. After 2 weeks in a hotel, we found an Air bnb for the next 3 weeks.

January 2019 update –
My father in law ended up having 2 tumors disappear completely and the 3rd (largest) tumour at last scan when he left in September had shrunk from 21cm wide to ~3cm. We believe it could also be gone now as he has been continuing treatments at home, but no scan yet to confirm 🙂

Still attending the clinic so we haven’t seen extensive medical results but still hoping. What we have seen is less pain, better appetite, less vomiting, and an overall improvement in the quality of life.
Can you share any important tips for anyone considering this clinic?
This clinic was the only one we found with comparative treatment that allows payments by the week rather than a lump sum up front. Doctors have been extremely kind and knowledgeable.

September 30, 2018 at 12:50 amI was diagnosed with pancreas cancer and went through a surgery to remove. I wanted to strengthen my immunity system by going to an alternative clinic. I called a few clinics before choosing the immunity therapy center and was impressed by how responsive the clinic was.
I went to the clinic in October 2017 and it was a very good experience.
I was at the clinic for 3 weeks (which is the minimum time they recommend on). They put a central line because my veins were broken and I received many treatments such as B17, VItamin C, oxygen peroxide, infrared sauna and more.
All the tests were done at the facilities which was very convenient – blood tests once a week and ultrasound.
The clinic offers 2 meals a day – morning and lunch and the food was delicious and follows the ketogenic diet.
Sometimes I liked going to the beach and having my meals at the beach – it is pretty close by, which was great.
I am a nurse, so I can tell that the staff is very professional and the facilities are very clean.
I met with a few people that were in advanced stages and went into remission. Even a lady from Canada that was given no hope by her doctors and went into remission from stage 4 cervical cancer!
At the end of my stay, the doctor suggested I’ll do chemotherapy when I go back to the states, which I did.
All in all, I would recommend this clinic.
