Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does your clinic treatment program work when a person needs natural treatment for cancer?
A: Usually we present a prospective patient with a plan for treatment that has been approved by the treating physician of the clinic. The program often lasts for two months, with the first two weeks of that two month program being spent at our clinic.
[Top] Q: What happens at the end of the planned program?
A: Each person and their case of cancer are unique. Our programs are designed with the intent of inducing major healing during the course of the program. How extensive this healing response is needs to be assessed near the end of the program. Because each person and their case are unique, it is expected that results at the end of the program will vary from person to person. The most common disposition at the end of the program is that we ask the person to remain on supplements for several years. This is not very expensive or difficult. In other cases we may think that more treatment in clinic is required, but this is very infrequent.
[Top] Q: Are the treatment modalities the same in Nevada and The Bahamas?
A: Our programs for various types or cancer are generally identical in each location. However, when we want to add options to the programs, we may need to choose one location over the other because of treatment availability issues. For example, certain types of stem cell treatments are available in Nevada, but none are allowed in The Bahamas, because The Bahamas is a very religious country and has effectively banned stem cells. On the other hand, The Bahamas allows the use of any medicine that is approved for use in any other country, whereas in the USA we are limited to only those medications approved for use in the USA. We try to suggest the location for each client that is best suited for their particular needs.
[Top] Q: Who is in charge of your treatment programs?
A: Only licensed physicians can diagnose and treat disease, so the licensed doctors at our clinics are in charge of designing and approving the programs of treatment. When patients present to one of our affiliated clinics for a treatment program, the licensed physician in charge of the clinic further evaluates the planned program and makes whatever modifications are required once having examined the patient in person.
[Top] Q: What is your success rate against cancer?
A: When it comes to statistics on responses of cancer patients to our methods of treatment or our "success" rates against cancer, we are very proud of how well we have done for our patients over the years. We don't publish success rates or statistics on success for several important reasons. We believe that only the results of carefully done clinical trials should be given as statistics. We are applying for grants to have an independent third party do such a study with our patients but have never attempted such an arduous task ourselves. You may notice that clinics in other countries sometimes offer these statistics. They can do so because they have no government oversight and can claim whatever they wish. We can't because in the USA and must follow American rules.
[Top] Q: Why do you have a clinic in the state of Nevada?
A: Nevada laws offer the most broad array of potential natural therapies of any state in the USA.
[Top] Q: How do I get to the clinic in Nevada?
A: If you wish to arrive by air, simply book a flight into the Las Vegas International Airport. the airport code is LAS. Arrival via auto is also easy as Las Vegas is served by major interstate highways. Travel by auto from southern California can be as short as two hours from the coastal cities.
[Top] Q: Why is one of your clinics in The Bahamas?
A: For many years we have tried to maintain clinics in both the USA and The Bahamas. We do this to give the best possible service to our clients, and to allow easy access from both coasts.
[Top] Q: Is it difficult to travel to The Bahamas?
A: No. There are many convenient flights each day from major and minor cities in the USA and Canada. There is also good service from Europe via London.
[Top] Q: What can you do to help me if I am nervous about travel to a foreign country?
A: Our staff normally picks you up at the airport in Freeport and drives you to your hotel. The currency is US dollars, the language is English, and the laws and customs are nearly identical to the USA and Canada. There is nothing to be nervous about in this regard.
[Top] Q: What is hyperthermia treatment?
A: Hyperthermia means using heat to kill cancer. Cancer cells are very sensitive to dying in the presence of heat. When appropriate we use standard hyperthermia (heating the body via the use of external heat sources) and metabolic hyperthermia (using natural substances that cause the body to internally heat itself).
[Top] Q: Can hyperthermia be used in people who have lymph node resection?
A: Yes, but special care and observation is required for those who have had some of their lymph nodes removed to avoid swelling and congestion. This is true also of injections and IV therapies.

Every person and their case of cancer or other illness is unique. The cases presented here should not be taken as being "typical". Others may respond differently to our therapies. We encourage every patient to learn of all their options in both natural and conventional medical care. There are many additional sources of information for patients and their families to research, including their own local licensed physician. We do not claim to have any sure and certain "cure" for any disease, but endeavor to bring our best medical knowledge to bear on each case.
