I met Dr Henriques while I was seeking for a clinic that offer dendritic cells vaccine. Since then, I visited the clinic three times, and the treatment was outstanding. The Dr. is very kind and professional, the clinic is immaculate and well equipped with hyperbaric chamber and heat chamber and in-site chef that make excellent healthy food. After each visit I returned with a set of frozen vials of the vaccine which I used n weekly basis. So far, for the last 2.5 years, I am cancer free. Highly recommended clinic.

Prostate Cancer eliminated thru Hyperthermia, Proton Dynamic Therapy and IV of Nutrients. Immunotherapy for 6 months after cancer eliminated. Staff was very friendly and Knowledgeable and had a couple people speaking English to answer questions of the doctors. Also , they specialise in curing Lyme Disease.

My mom has refractory DLBCL and went to CHIPSA hospital for 3 weeks from Jan-Feb 2023. They charged her $46500 USD and gave her all sorts of “treatments” which were more like torture. She described them as way worse than chemo. Five minutes before she was supposed to leave CHIPSA, a “doctor” met with her to let her know that she should go home to Canada and do the chemo the doctors here recommended. Her Canadian CT’s show that in the month that she deferred chemo to try CHIPSA her tumour grew four times the size. She is currently bedridden and requiring bi-weekly blood transfusions. They plan to start chemo tomorrow, but the doctors are concerned about major complications (tumour lysis syndrome) due to the bulk of the tumour now. I know cancer and end of life are scary, but this place will not solve your problems. The five star reviews are fake. I don’t know how the people who work for CHIPSA sleep at night. This place is a scam.

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.

Experience at the clinic was fine. At home treatment and follow-up I do not rate well.

My wife was dealing with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer. She had radiation treatment which was pretty effective for year or so. The cancer started to come back and she was set to start chemo (in the USA) at Kaiser. She heard about CHIPSA and wanted to try it. They don't guarantee a cure. When she told me about the program, I figured worse case, her condition would stay the same. Her Kaiser doctors (in the USA) said the cancer was coming back but pretty slowly. When she got back from her 3 week treatment the cancer had suddenly picked up speed. To make things worse, she started to lose a lot of hair, which was very traumatizing for her. The CHIPSA treatment included a "weak" chemo with supposedly no side effects (the CHIPSA doctors said hair loss would not be an issue for sure). Her hair loss started a few days after returning home. The so called "weak" chemo was strong enough to cause massive hair loss but completely ineffective against the cancer itself. On top of that, she developed 2 serious bacterial infections, one in her lungs then one in her intestines. Both infections were difficult to treat and both were very hard on her. Do I know she picked up the infections at the CHIPSA clinic ? I can't prove it but the timing is highly suspect. She had to delay the start of her chemo till both infections had been resolved by which time it was basically too late. She passed away 5 weeks later. If I could go back in time I would have stopped her from going to CHIPSA, it was a huge mistake. The trip wasted precious time and caused her harm. I'm sick of people exploiting the fears of cancer patients for financial gain. They know cancer patients are desperate and they prey on them. They typically promote a few miracle cures largely based on anecdotal "evidence". So basically we paid $35,000 only to have my wife return in worse shape than when she went down there in addition to the time wasted. My advice is, stay clear of CHIPSA and don't trust people peddling miracle cures. Use the time saved to do something actually beneficial for yourself or your loved ones. Don't make this mistake like we did. I lost my beautiful wife as a result.

Clean facility. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and respectful medical and ancillary staff. Super nutritious plant-based food. Daily Christian-faith based devotionals. Weekly educational presentations on cancer, treatments, nutrition, art. Meeting others going through similar trial was therapeutic. Completed first phase of treatment, e.g., 20-day inpatient. Gained strength and have gained 5 lbs. Prior to going to Oasis I was dropping pounds weekly for a total of 20 pounds in less than 6 months. Was weak and light headed. Now on home treatment program. No setbacks thus far. Praise God. Still keep in touch with patients we met at Oasis and look forward to seeing them again at Oasis in three months. Almost forgot, our trips with other couples to the beach and to the mall were also great.

I did a three week outpatient treatment. Took all of their treatments except the coffee enema. Couldn't accommodate for that because I didn't have a room. The surgery listed below was to remove the melanoma site on my left calf and to biopsy my lymph glands in my left groin area. I requested that they take only the Sentinel lymph gland and leave the rest. Results have been very good; on my last pet scan it was gone.

It was welcoming and everyone was kind and respectful. From the moment you arrive you are taken care of. We had different classes we can attend on things to help you with your journey to wellness. Each morning at 10:00 am the pastor would come to the infusion room and sing, give a short sermon and pray. It was very uplifting and healing. You made friends and everyone shared their stories. We saw and heard stories of healing and met people from all over. We were at dinner one night and we prayed for someone about to have surgery. It did not matter what religion you were, everyone just joined together to pray. We would recommend this place to everyone.
