Issels Medical Center | Cost and Reviews

I was compelled to write this review based on my experience and another rating calling Issels clinic a scam. My wife went to Issels clinic recently for around three months until we needed to change do to her severally worsening medical condition. We were recommended to go to the Issels clinic by a past patient. We met with the son of the founder who now runs the clinic. He seemed sincere and recommended a variety of treatments which also included supplements and a trip to Mexico. We were required to promptly pay thousands of dollars. To be able to call this place a scam, I think would require, the son to look cancer patients and their families straight into their eyes, take their money, hopes and hearts and watch as their health deteriorates and their hearts and hope sink in front of his eyes knowing this was the outcome from the beginning. I have a hard time thinking someone would be this way. I do not know if this is a scam. After months we found out my wife’s cancer had advanced significantly. This caused us and our family to experience severe emotional pain, physical pain, loss of sleep and deep distress, added to the loss of time and thousands of dollars. I think if you decide to look into this clinic you should go talk directly to the son and judge for yourself if he is sincere or a con man behind a “scam” like the post said? Take care to realize people suffering from cancer or some other illness would most likely be easily conned since they are suffering and desperate for a solution. In other words, it may not be too hard to con people in distress.

The holistic integrated approach led by a naturopath and a MD was perfect for me. I went there because they specialize in stage 4 and have a long history of amazing results with huge tumors dissolving. I had a 20cm tumor die and go away And another huge tumor shrunk 80% within 2 months after returning home. They both grew back and they continued advising me remotely and they shrunk again. It’s now 8 months since being there and I continue on a positive path to complete health. The staff is very attentive and caring. I didn’t trust doctors my whole Life but their MD helped me to trust him and then proved he knew what he was doing over and over again. . Santa Barbara is a beautiful and peaceful place to heal. They partner with a clinic in Mexico for a cancer vaccine which is part of the protocol. Highly recommend for stage 4. Highly recommend.

Everyone was very compassionate and took the time to explain all of the treatments given. I spent one week at the hospital in Tijuana and 2 weeks at the outpatient clinic in Santa Barbara.

I believe these treatments would work for people who are early in their cancer. My husband's cancer was probably beyond what their treatments would work on by the time we found them. The setting is very comfortable, and there were several people attending treatments who had been visiting there for years, traveling from other countries. It's too bad that some of the treatments must take place in Mexico. I understand it's because the laws of our country do not allow some of the treatments they use, someday they will be allowed here. Alternative treatments through Issels gave my husband a vision of hope instead of despair. There was no hope through conventional methods. I believe his treatments kept him in a positive mindset instead of becoming depressed.
