​Cancer is a significant concern for millions of Americans. Tijuana, Mexico's Oasis of Hope Hospital strives to address the situation with holistic and alternative therapies. Oasis of Hope supports the Cancer Control Society (CCS), an organization that promotes non-toxic treatments.

The forerunner of CCS is an international organization of cancer survivors and friends organized by Ms. Cecile Hoffman, who lived for years after a supposedly terminal breast cancer prognosis. The Los Angeles chapter of the group formed the Cancer Control Society in 1973.

CCS’ goal is to educate the public about alternative medicine for cancer and other diseases through print materials, DVDs, and videos. It also publishes a Green Sheet listing alternative medicine providers and a Patient Sheet of people who are willing to share their experiences. CCS phone volunteers also answer cancer-related questions, and can be reached by calling (323) 663-7801.

CCS also sponsors an annual convention, at which some 40 practitioners provide information over a three-day period, with a doctors’ symposium on the fourth day.

Based in Tijuana, Mexico, Oasis of Hope is a renowned medical center that takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to treating complex diseases such as cancer. Rather than prescribing treatment plans that just target tumors in patients, Oasis of Hope uses research-based alternative and conventional treatments to restore patients’ immune systems, weaken cancers, and extend patients’ lives. The center is directed by Dr. Francisco Contreras, who was recently featured on the documentary series “Healthy Long Life.”

“Healthy Long Life” is a series that looks into the problem of illness in old age. Many people spend the last decade of their life sick and in pain. This documentary offers people some keys to healthy aging, highlighting ancient healing traditions and healthy eating practices from around the world.

The documentary consists of eight episodes, with each running for 40 minutes. The episodes contain interviews with leading health experts, chefs, and people who survived cancer. Three episodes introduce viewers to ancient Asian wellness practices, two of which feature Dr. Contreras: Episode 1 on India and Episode 5 on China.

In Episode 1, the documentary explores India’s roots as the origin of Ayurvedic medicine and the world’s spice capital. The episode features interviews with natural healers, medical doctors, and an individual named Brad who recovered from stage 3 colon cancer.

Episode 5 puts the spotlight on China, the largest country on earth by population with 1.4 billion people. The episode shows viewers how a Chinese Olympic team physician uses traditional treatments, and also draws for viewers a link between plant-based diets and longevity. The docuseries is available on Amazon Prime Video.

Free Radicals and How They Impact Health

Picture
Oasis of Hope is a Tijuana-based medical clinic that offers a mix of alternative and conventional therapies designed to achieve recovery from cancer when past treatments have failed. One focus of Dr. Francisco Contreras and his Oasis of Hope team is on addressing free radicals, which can undermine health and accelerate aging.

As described by a University of Nebraska professor emeritus, aging occurs in tandem with oxidation. Examples of the oxidation process include a peeled apple turning brown shortly after it’s exposed to air and rust corroding metal over time. Human cells rely on oxygen as a basic source of energy, but oxidation can also harm health.

Free radicals form when oxygen molecules lose an electron. This generates energy in ways that are destabilizing, as the free electron (radical) seeks to unite with another electron stolen from a surrounding molecule. The chain electron reaction that can result is often described as “cellular chaos.” Unchecked, free radicals trigger an accelerated program of cell degeneration and disease, with effects ranging from high blood pressure to tumor growth.

The body receives significant exposure to free radicals each day, regardless of one’s lifestyle. The key is to limit their destructive capacity by avoiding nutritional and environmental factors such as pesticides, radiation, pollution, foods high in saturated fat, and physical stress. Taking these steps as part of a holistically designed program can help reduce the potential of tissue injury and cancer, while also slowing down the aging process.

What Is Radio Frequency Ablation?

Picture
Oasis of Hope, for 58 years, has been a world leader in cancer research and treatment. Located in Tijuana, Mexico, Oasis of Hope offers numerous cancer treatment and therapy methods. In the past, it utilized radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

RFA employs entirely localized, extremely high temperatures to kill cancer cells by using the heat generated by radio waves. The term "radiofrequency" refers to a form of electrical energy, and ablation means destruction. The radiologist uses imaging tests to direct a thin needle through the skin or an incision into the tumor tissue. High-frequency radiation is transmitted through the needle and causes the surrounding tissue to heat up, killing the cells.

RFA is most frequently used to treat a small area of cancer that is causing discomfort or agony. Oncologists do not utilize it as the primary treatment for most tumors (larger than five centimeters). Doctors use radiofrequency ablation to treat malignancies in the following areas: adrenal lobe, breasts, bones, kidneys, livers, lungs, pancreas, and the thyroid.

Generally, oncologists do not use RFA as the primary treatment for cancer. Suppose the patient is affected with primary (original cancer in the part of the body where it started) and secondary cancer (cancer cells that have spread to another part of the body and formed a new tumor there). In that case, RFA may is used alone or in conjunction with other therapies to treat people living with cancer.

Oasis of Hope has advanced and substituted RFA treatments for targeted prodrugs that are non-invasive and more effective.

Natural Vitamin B-17 Supplements Part of Cancer Fighting Equation

Guided by Dr. Francisco Contreras, Oasis of Hope offers patients from around the world a combination of alternative and conventional cancer treatments. Focused on individual care that considers the whole person, Oasis of Hope integrates the use of supplements, including shark cartilage and vitamin B-17, into wellness regimens.

Known naturally as amygdalin and synthetically as laetrile, B-17 as a compound found most abundantly in apricot kernels and bitter almonds. It is also accessed in many traditional diets through staple ingredients such as papaya, cassava, sweet potato, unrefined rice, and yam. When it comes to daily diet, a moderate amount, such as five apricot kernels, is recommended, as too much amygdalin in the system has negative effects.

The efficacy of natural B-17 has been researched in clinical settings, with one study finding that amygdalin reduces cancer cell proliferation and growth in vitro. In a study at the Pasteur Institute, mice with human cancer strains ingested amygdalin (500 mg per kilogram of body weight) on a daily basis. This was demonstrated as delaying tumor growth, while increasing survival rates by up to 100 percent.

Within a clinical therapeutic setting such as that developed by Dr. Contreras, natural B-17 supplementation is part of a broader program that includes healthy eating, immunotherapy, and supplements such as vitamins C and K3.

​Located in Tijuana, Mexico, Oasis of Hope is a hospital that combines allopathic and alternative treatments to deliver new pathways to fight cancer. One vital aspect of the patient experience offered by the Oasis of Hope is meaningful assistance in implementing exercise and dietary habits that help bolster the body’s healing powers and innate ability to control pre-existing cancers.

Dietary regimens encompass not only food intake but supplementation that fights cancer. This involves combining safe, currently available drugs with nutrients and natural, plant-derived chemicals. This combination helps suppress overactive signal transduction pathways present in tumor cells and boosts under-active immune system pathways that work against cancer.

The compounds and nutrients employed within Cell Signal Transduction Therapy include familiar substances such as milk thistle extract, green tea extract, and fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, less familiar ingredients such as diclofenac and boswellic acid are incorporated into the therapy regimen.

Picture
Serving the needs of patients worldwide, Oasis of Hope Hospital is a Tijuana institution with a half-century of experience providing access to leading-edge cancer treatments, from low dose chemotherapy to epigenetics. One of Oasis of Hope’s distinct offerings takes advantage of a location only three blocks from the Pacific Ocean and focuses on overall nutrition and aerobic exercise as a predictor of success in fighting the spread of cancer.

In addition to shifting to a low-fat vegan or quasi-vegan diet, many patients also begin taking special nutrients and phytochemicals that are naturally derived from plants. Those employed within cell signal transduction therapy include green tea extract and milk thistle extract, as well as fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Patients may also begin a regimen that includes salsalate, diclofenac, boswellic acids, and disulfiram.

Taken together, a properly planned supplement regimen can boost under-active pathways and help in the suppression of signal transduction pathways that are overly active in cancer cells. The ultimate effect is to starve cancer cells of their capacity to grow and spread into diffuse organs, as well as inhibit cancer cells from creating new blood vessels that serve to nourish the tumors.
