What's It Like To Go To A Mexican 

Hospital for Cancer Treatment?

 

 Hospitals that are offering some of the world’s finest alternative 

treatments for cancer and other degenerative diseases

People usually don't think of Mexico as a health Mecca. But there are about 35 alternative care clinics and hospitals in northern Mexico, mostly in and around Tijuana, that offer a wide array of effective cancer treatments difficult to find in other countries. Some of these facilities offer  superior alternative cancer care. Tijuana is directly across the border from San Diego, California.

They vary in size from one-doctor operations to modern, multi-story, full-service hospitals with teams of doctors on staff. Some are even within walking distance of the American border which avoids the need to wait in line in a car for a long time to clear customs inspections. A passport or visa is usually necessary for citizens of all countries to enter Mexico. Note: Since the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and terrorist activities, Mexico's border crossing policy has been tightened and may change from time to time without notice.

Why do people continue to go to these clinics and hospitals?

Despite endless efforts for decades by the commercial American medical system (not to mention the media) to depict Mexican hospitals as strange, backward or even dangerous  their popularity continues. The reason is simple. People can get  cancer therapies there not available in the United States, Canada or most other industrialized nations due to politics. 

In Mexico, the government feels the doctor should be the one deciding what treatment or therapy is best. It does not attempt to get in between doctors and their patients and dictate treatments that can or cannot be used. Nor does it burden doctors and their staff with endless bureaucratic restrictions, policies, procedures and paperwork which plague most conventional medical systems in major industrialized nations. 

However, Washington DC's influence is heavy, and with the NAFTA treaty, Washington can dictate policy 60 miles over adjacent foreign borders. Many of these hospitals are located close to the border.

As a result of the Mexican government's respect for a physician's personal judgment, doctors can choose between the best therapies from around the world for a patient - alternative or conventional. Further, they can develop and perfect new treatments, and immediately use therapeutic breakthroughs as soon as they become available from doctors, scientists, researchers and other therapists worldwide. 

Not so in the United States and most major nations where cancer treatments are restricted to chemotherapy, radiation and surgery alone by government and legal policies. This unfortunate situation means over 100 other useful, non-toxic cancer treatments from around the world typically go ignored, unknown, or banned - almost all of which have documented scientific evidence to support them. Such is the way of the world.

Mexican doctors have been able to develop their skills in using both conventional and alternative therapies, training their staffs and setting up appropriate facilities. In addition, over the years they've learned which treatments, or combination of alternative and even conventional treatments, work best for what conditions.

Not all clinics and doctors in Mexico and Tijuana are worthwhile of course. Care must be taken to find an experienced, reputable and reliable facility. The best have been around for many years. One in particular, Oasis of Hope in Tijuana, has treated over 100,000 cancer patients with alternative treatments in the last 35 years. That record speaks for itself. The alternative cancer therapy guide available through this website provides instructions on how to determine the best Mexican hospitals. 

Going to a hospital in Mexico, however, is different than a trip to an American hospital. Although most hospital staff there speak English fluently, there are definite cultural differences to get used to. Upon crossing the border, one quickly becomes aware that Mexico is not a rich country. Many streets and buildings are in need of repair, and sometimes clinics or hospitals are found in run-down or industrial areas. This is normal for Mexico and is no reflection on the quality of care one can expect once inside where things are clean, well cared for and modern.

Many of the larger hospitals provide an extra bed so a family member or friend can stay in the same room with the patient at little or no cost. And most hospitals have the usual amenities such as in-room phone service, internet access, cable TV and so on. Specialized cancer therapy diets are designed for each patient.

Hospitals will provide lists of things to bring for the stay, which usually lasts 3 - 4 weeks. This time-frame allows them to monitor the cancer cell's birth-to-death cycle which runs approximately 21 days. Adjustments in therapies during this time frame take place.

Depending on the severity of the condition, a rule of thumb is $5,000 - $7,000 a week with everything included. Again, for cancer, a 3 - 4 week stay is typical. Although a serious amount of money, this is inexpensive compared to the staggering costs associated with conventional American treatment where only chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are used.  

Some insurance companies cover a percentage of services offered in foreign hospitals. In the USA, Blue Cross and Blue Shield sometimes cover certain treatments depending on the state of residence of the patient (no uniform policy here nationwide). Medicare and Medicaid do not cover anything in any foreign hospital. It is very important that insurance paperwork is filled out and submitted correctly. It is essential to use a professional insurance billing service to handle all your paperwork. They are used to dealing with balky and stubborn insurance companies who will look to deny a claim from a foreign hospital. Billing companies collect a percentage of the money recovered - usually 10%. Due to poor financial experiences with patients over the years, most Mexican hospitals require substantial up-front cash payments. Insurance billing takes place after the fact and remains the responsibility of the patient.
