Medical Condition Prostate Cancer Stage 2

It's too early in the treatment process to give ab outcome here. After 20 days at the clinic one is sent home to do 4 months of treatment at home. This includes chemo in pill form, and 15 other daily drug protocols. Buying all the drugs from them before leaving was another 4k. Very time consuming and not much follow up from the clinic. Then back for another week at 9K which happens twice a year until cleared of disease. I have not yet had a follow up scan to determine efficacy.

Medical Condition Stage IV Thymic Carcinoma

I have been treated by Oasis of Hope for almost five years now for Stage IV cancer. Most patients there have Stage IV cancer. While many therapies are administered at Oasis, I feel the most potent is the Dendritic Cell Vaccine. I see many people cured of their cancer at Oasis. They are INTEGRATIVE and not ALTERNATIVE and pride themselves on finding the best non-toxic treatment using the best of both worlds. Their motto is “do no harm to the patient”. Patients will have the most success by sticking to their dietary guidelines (low glycemic). The facility is SO NICE. The staff is SO FRIENDLY. The food is SO GOOD. It is located in the BEACHES of Tijuana which is fairly nice. I feel safe walking around by myself during the day. They offer educational classes almost every day and bible teachings as well. I highly recommend Oasis of Hope and always look forward to my visits there!

Medical Condition Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma

I went to the Oasis of Hope for treatment of my Lymphoma. I received low doses of chemotherapy with high doses of immunotherapy treatments, including Laetrile and Vitamin C intravenously, plus many other immune boosting supplements, along with a rigid diet plan. The care of the doctors was absolutely incredible. They looked at me as a person, not a disease, and specifically tailored the treatments for me. They were so professional, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and caring! My only regret was not going to Oasis sooner. I will be celebrating 30 years of being cancer free in February of 2021. Thankful for the incredible miracle Oasis has been in my life and in the lives of multiple friends, who have experienced similar results!

Oasis of Hope is an amazing place! They target cancer in every direction including emotionally and spiritually. Dr. Contreras is a wealth of knowledge concerning cancer and overall health in general. The staff are kind and really gentle with any treatments. The food is excellent! I look forward to that part so much! The overall experience changed my life for the better when I was at my lowest point. The connection you make with other patients is also wonderful and you even learn from each other.

Medical Condition Stage 4 Prostate Cancer

I was diagnosed in 2015 and tried to self-medicate for two years. It didn't work out so well for me.
My PSA went from 4, 7, 14 then 147. I was referred to Oasis in October of 2017 and arrived in a wheelchair because I wasn't able to walk. After being in much pain and cooped up in my room for two and a half weeks of three weeks of treatments, I was up and out of my wheelchair like nothing had ever happened to me!! And been this way ever since. This will be my sixth visit to the Oasis of Hope Hospital. I started my medical journey of healing on Oct. 2017 coming every 3-month until April of 2018 to every 6-months. And this is my 3rd 6-month visit, and also my two year anniversary.
I'm hoping after the Doctors see my latest Nov. 2019 Sodium P.E.T. Scan that they will recommend me to come back once a year. And also stop taking this Lupron hormone shot every 3-months!!
The staff here is very friendly and supportive of all your needs. The rooms are clean, and the food is very good. I would HIGHLY recommend this Hospital and treatments to anyone who wants to think outside of the big Pharma BOX!!

Medical Condition Stage 3 Breast Cancer

No amount of words will ever be able to communicate how GREATLY BLESSED I was to have found this place 16 Years ago. I live in the United Kingdom and was diagnosed aged 60 with stage 3 Breast Cancer. I had the option of going through the conventional treatment of Chemotherapy, Radiation etc., but immediately rejected that, as I had seen the effect of conventional treatments on other People, like losing their Hair, feeling sick, lack of appetite, damage to their ' healthy cells ' etc. I was diagnosed in October 2003 and came to ' Oasis of Hope ' for the first time in January 2004, without having any other treatments. Having throughout my life being used to Alternative or Homeopathic treatments, the only slight hesitation that I had before coming to ' Oasis of Hope ' was the cost, bearing in mind that I would get the conventional treatments in the United Kingdom for ' free. ' Looking back over 16 Years, and having visited ' Oasis of Hope ' once or twice every Year since, I can categorically say that it is the BEST DECISION that I could possibly have made and the BEST THING that I have ever spent my Money on. Although it is impossible for the treatment to work in 100% of the cases, it has a VERY HIGH SUCCESS RATE, considering a large majority of Patients are either Stage 4 or have been told previously in their prospective Countries that there is nothing else that can be done to help them.
Having never been in a Hospital in a foreign country before, of course I was sceptical of what treatment I would receive and what the facilities would be like. On arriving for my first visit, I was immediately impressed by the external look of the Hospital and this was matched when I entered the Hospital. Although Tijuana gets a bad reputation, the Hospital area was VERY SAFE and the Mexican People are very friendly. For People who have never been there before, it is very hard to put SUCH A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE into words. The atmosphere and experience is something that I never ever expected, as it is SO SPECIAL and UNIQUE ( my Son, who comes as my Companion, and I regularly shed tears of sadness when we leave the Hospital after each visit. ) We have made FRIENDS FOR LIFE both with Staff Members and other Patients and Companions that we have met throughout the many Years that we have been going there.

Considering what I have been through over the Years, and the fact that I am now 76, I have a quality of life now that I could only have dreamed about 16 Years ago, and I put this down to one reason : the treatment / encouragement that I received from ' Oasis of Hope ' Hospital.

Medical Condition Triple negative Breast Cancer, Stage 3

The Oasis of Hope was and is a spectacular success for my wife. When she was diagnosed we were blessed to already know about the Oasis of Hope so we went there first. Dr. Contreras and the entire team at Oasis of Hope are the premier providers of alternative treatments that build you up instead of tearing you down.
We continue put Cancer in the back seat, and with the home therapies prescribed by the doctors from the Oasis of Hope all blood tests and Pet-scans have been perfect for two years. We are so thankful for Oasis of Hope.

Medical Condition Breast cancer spread to lungs, innumerable nodules stage 4

One year later I am cancer free. I’ve had two pet scans completely negative of cancer. A year ago, upon discovery, I received one chemo treatment in Oaxaca City, México. Two weeks later, after deep soul searching and repentance and many many prayers from many many friends, the Lord Jesus touched me and His fire filled my chest. A week later my hair fell out and I received one more chemo treatment in Oaxaca City. The cancerous lump that had been in my left breast could no longer be felt by touch by my oncologist nor by my husband or myself. But the Dr insisted that the scheduled 8 chemo treatments would continue when I questioned him what the treatment would be now that the cancer mass was gone. While receiving the second treatment it became clear to me that the chemo treatment that killed my hair would continue to do more damage to my 71 year old body. Faith rose up in my heart and I signed out of the government provided cancer treatment program. I applied for the alternative treatment offered at the Oasis of Hope Hospital, Tijuana, MX and arrived for treatment a week later. There the Pet Scan revealed a small cancerous mass remaining on the bottom of my left Breast and four small nodules still in my lungs. The infusions, blood oxidation, diet, vaccination etc along with the prayers and excellent atmosphere of the Oasis of Hope Hospital cleared up the cancer deposits within six months. The recent pet scan, one year later is negative. We have the highest respect for the Drs and staff of Oasis. Two days after arriving in the hospital my husband had a vision of a portal open to heaven in this place. Later upon hearing the story of Dr Ernesto Contreras being commissioned by God to find a cure for cancer we understood the spiritual battle involved. Our respects and gratitude to this wonderful hospital and staff. I have never lost strength or focus but am able to continue in our calling as missionaries in southern Mexico. Glory to God! I must confess it is rather a challenge to keep taking the multitude of pills every day. Am looking forward to being released from these Drs orders.

Medical Condition Hodgkin's Lymphoma

My experience with the Oasis of hope Hospital was amazing to say the least. In 2015 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Having some knowledge of their alternative approach, I went there immediately. The staff, doctors, nurses were all very friendly, knowledgably and helpful. Language was not a barrier. The facility is excellent. Clean and well maintained. The treatments are administered with skill and care. The Doctors were willing to spend adequate time to be sure you understand every aspect of your treatment. I always felt like I was very important. The spiritual aspect was the icing on the cake. Someone always available for prayer or counsel. It will soon be 5 years in total remission. What a blessing to be able to go to such a place for treatment. The Oasis of Hope is rightly named for that is indeed what they offer, hope for life.
