I would like opinions about the clinics Trying Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT I havent hear of the clinics you listed but My husband has been to Hoxsey or Biomedical clinic and he is doing fantastic with Stage 3 brain tumor. Mfstamb Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi,My dad has cholangiocarcinoma and we are heading to the hoxsey biomedical clinc on thursday. I have been doing loads of research and the info im finding is so contradictory that I'm going crazy.could you please give me some more information on your husbands case?im also scared the the tonic may have undesired side effects or have detrimental effects to his health...any info on that?thank you for any help you may be able to give me..  xyz123 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi there- My father just got back from  Mexico at the Oasis of Hope hostpital (Feb 14th, 08) he has PC cancer that had spread to the bones.  I think the treatment themselves are good and the care was pretty good too... so now we just have to wait and see what and how he will do.  he has to go back in 3 month for another 6 day stay.  the hospital was okay - nice for mexico i guess... but i guess i was expecting it to be very nice room wise since we do pay 25,000 for it.  but again it was not bad though... typical mexico they even expected the nurses to get tipped (we said no and that it was not ethical).. but again i am glad he went since it is the actual treatment that i cared about.  now we jsut have to see what happens .... So, if you look into that i would say yes or go to Issels... it better than getting chemo and radiation and it least you feel like your are being treated and not being butured!  when someone is in stage iv you have to try it all... Sophia Smpal Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 2/15/2008 Smpal wrote:Hi there- My father just got back from  Mexico at the Oasis of Hope hostpital (Feb 14th, 08) he has PC cancer that had spread to the bones.  I think the treatment themselves are good and the care was pretty good too... so now we just have to wait and see what and how he will do.  he has to go back in 3 month for another 6 day stay.  the hospital was okay - nice for mexico i guess... but i guess i was expecting it to be very nice room wise since we do pay 25,000 for it.  but again it was not bad though... typical mexico they even expected the nurses to get tipped (we said no and that it was not ethical).. but again i am glad he went since it is the actual treatment that i cared about.  now we jsut have to see what happens ....

I myself have just returned from the Issels Clinic in Tijuana last Thursday. I was just there for a follow up  (my first one) since the 4 weeks treatment last September. I was only there for 5 days. So I am just getting over the long flights. Its a long way back to     England. I have Lung cancer, which is into the lymph nodes. All tumours and lymph nodes have drastically reduced since I started this treatment.I was diagnosed last July stage 3b, no treatment offered just pallative care. so that is why I went to Issels. I have just about finished my course of vaccines,,,,, Did you get home safely with them? The diet seems very strange at first at home, but you soon get used to cooking things. I find Tescos is about the best supermarket for Organic fruit and veg. And a good juicier is important, the cheaper ones does not squeeze the juice out so much, I went for Breville one, it was about £80 in Comet. It is good to hear of someone else who has been to Oasis. Carolyn    mrscarolyn Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
