In 1999, The Gerson Institute moved its facilities to Oasis and this is where Charlette
Gerson is currently working. Diet and nutrition is very important at
this facility. The Gerson program is, however, separate from Oasis's
program. As of May, 2002, Gerson has moved to a new facility. Go to
our Gerson page for more
information.
They are currently the only facility
authorized by The Issel's Foundation
to use use the name of Issels and Issels Treatment. Call 888-500-4673.
They have been treating cancer patients over 35 years. Go to http://www.issels.com/reply_oasis.asp
for more information. The Issels Treatment Center is a separate
entity within the Oasis hospital.
Oasis uses mostly alternative therapies,
but in certain situations they may use a combination of both
conventional and alternative therapies. For example, for liver cancer
they use a combination of 5FU (chemotherapy) with laetrile and inject
it directly into the liver. They are having some good success with
this.
There are several programs including a
4 Day Program for people doing chemotherapy who want to complement it
with alternative approaches or for those show are not sure if
alternative medicine is the best solution but want to try it. A
program will be designed during these four days for you to take home
with you. There is a strong
religious side to this facility.
There is a write up on Dr. Contreras in
Burton Goldberg's book The
Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer.
They have an office in
San Ysidro, but the clinic is in Mexico. You can visit their website at www.oasisofhope.com
for more information on this clinic.
