CHIPSA saved my LIFE! And the people who work at CHIPSA are THE NICEST, most kind & patient group I have ever met... anywhere. The collaborative care each patient receives --with contributing expertise from multiple physicians with different credentials & expertise-- is unrivaled. read more

My wife was dealing with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer. She had radiation treatment which was pretty effective for year or so. The cancer started to come back and she was set to start chemo (in the USA) at Kaiser. She heard about CHIPSA and wanted to try it. They don't guarantee a cure. When she told me about the program, I figured worse case, her condition would stay the same. That was not the case at all. Her Kaiser doctors (in the USA) said the cancer was coming back but pretty slowly. When she got back from her 3 week treatment the cancer had suddenly picked up speed. To make things worse, she started to lose a lot of hair, which was very traumatizing for her. The CHIPSA treatment included a "weak" chemo with supposedly no side effects (the CHIPSA doctors said hair loss would not be an issue for sure). Her hair loss started a few days after returning home. The so called "weak" chemo was strong enough to cause massive hair loss but completely ineffective against the cancer itself. On top of that, she developed 2 serious bacterial infections, one in her lungs then one in her intestines. Both infections were difficult and time consuming to treat and both were very hard on her. She said there were issues with her chest IV Port, it kept coming loose. Some of her treatments included circulating her blood thru some kind of machine. Plenty of opportunities to pick invasive bacteria which is probably how she got infected. She had to delay the start of her chemo till both infections had been resolved (which took 4 weeks) by which time it was basically way too late for the Kaiser chemo. She passed away 5 weeks later. If I could go back in time I would have stopped her from going to CHIPSA. It was a huge mistake. The trip wasted precious time and caused her harm. I'm sick of people exploiting the fears of cancer patients for financial gain. They know cancer patients are desperate and they prey on them. They typically promote a few miracle cures largely based on anecdotal "evidence". So basically we paid $35,000 only to have my wife return in worse shape than when she went down there in addition to the time wasted. She had a small window of opportunity for the Kaiser chemo to maybe help and that window was squandered because of the CHIPSA visit (and its harmful after effects). My advice is, stay clear of CHIPSA and don't trust people peddling miracle cures. Use the time saved to do something actually beneficial for yourself or your loved ones. Don't make this mistake like we did. I lost my beautiful wife as a result. read more

Ask CHIPSA if they remember Kaoy Saechao!  They took over $33,000 from her, and then told her she would have to go back home after 3 days there, BUT promised to refund her $19,641.  This was in November 2019.  Kaoy died on January 5th, 2020.  She has a son who needs this money.  CHIPSA paid back $5,000 in July 2020, and $4,500 in October 2020.  And that was due to me chasing them for payback.  The employee who I was dealing with has left, and they ignore any requests.  They still owe Kaoy $10,141.53.  This is going to be paid back and this scam will be exposed.  They have the money, but they do not think anything can be done because Kaoy was from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.  They are wrong!  And Doctors in Canada say CHIPSA was negligent and not trained well, because the medicals we sent them clearly showed she was too far along to be cured. NOW IT'S JUNE 1, 2021 Well......Kaoy Saechao (and her son) is STILL waiting for the balance of the money owed to her, even though she passed away on January 5th, 2020. Her son requires the balance of the refund to help support himself. He was with her during her very short stay at CHIPSA. 18 months have gone by and he is STILL waiting for the balance of his refund! read more

I have spent the last 6 weeks at Chipsa hospital with my sister who is battling a recurrent cancer, now in metastasis ,she has already had many surgeries and this last time the doctors in USA wanted to perform a very abrasive surgery, removing her nose for complete and throat, they did not give us any other options , it all sounded like a whole business for money , so we looked for more options and we found Chipsa, 6 weeks later her tumors have shrunk and necrosis by 70% without the need for surgery. All the staff make us feel at home , gave us classes of the power of the mind and personal development that were so needed at this time, they really care for my sister and given us hope and results that no one else has offered us. Cancer sucks and is so unpredictable but I am so thankful that at Chipsa she have a chance to fighting this terrible disease and has a hope for a chance that does not exist elsewhere. Eternally grateful read more

See all

I had two phone consultations scheduled. On both occasions I did not receive a call. Total waste of time. Based on how they run their front office, I would certainly look for another provider. There are several other very well reviewed stem cell treatment facilities in the area that I would look to first. read more

Beware! Are you thinking about coming to C.H.I.P.S.A. Hospital for alternative cancer treatment that you can't receive in the U.S.? Read this BEFORE you make your decision. On June 12, 2022 my 64 year old sister who had battled stage 4 ovarian cancer for the past 3 years flew to C.H.I.P.S.A. Hospital ALONE to receive alternative cancer treatment after her doctors advised her to seek Hospice care. My sister paid $32,000 to go there for 2 weeks of treatment. When I talked with her during her first week there she had received the IV apatone. By the start of her second week, the hospital was telling her she needed to stay a third week and by the end of the second week her organs started to shut down, by the third week she was in complete organ failure. All information we were receiving was coming from the patient coordinator who was assigned to her when she arrived. My sister died on July 4, 2022 ALONE in a foreign country. We have NO WAY of ever knowing what treatments of the $32,000 she paid for were actually administered. I'll save you from all the craziness we had to go through and additional money we had to pay to get my sister's body and personal belongings back. What I want to point out in this review is that C.H.I.P.S.A. Hospital has been in business since 1979 (per their website). That's 43 years. On Google there are ONLY 110 reviews, 19 that are 3-stars or less. One hundred ten reviews... I wouldn't go to a restaurant that only has 110 reviews, ESPECIALLY if it's been in business for that long! One more fact to point out. C.H.I.P.S.A. Hospital's website references that they are "the Gerson hospital". C.H.I.P.S.A. Hospital might incorporate Gerson therapy in the treatments they provide however they are NOT a licensed Gerson clinic (https://gerson.org/licensed-gerson-clinics/). Bottom line, if you are going to go to C.H.I.P.S.A. Hospital, please don't go there alone!! read more

CANCER is a KILLER. Chipsa hospital helped me beat it. I am five years stable. The truth is once you have cancer you'll have it for the rest of your life. There is NO CURE!! You can go into remission and become stable (no active disease present) but the cancer will ALWAYS be there. It can attack you at any moment. Don't fall for the "you are cured" diagnosis! The thing is ... you MUST eliminate the poisons you put in your body (eat, drink, breathe) on a regular basis. Chipsa has the BEST treatment for cancer in the world!! I am a testament to the fact and so is my friend Stacy Ward! There are many more. Yes some passed away too but that is the chance we all take going for treatment anywhere! As with any disease you have to keep up with the regimen prescribed to stay alive. It is hard to do but if you want to live it is what you must do. So blaming the Dr's and hospitals is childish! JS I am a cancer patient and if cancer does take me it's NOT the Dr and hospitals fault. #truthfullypeopleneedtogrowup read more

My mom has refractory DLBCL and went to CHIPSA hospital for 3 weeks from Jan-Feb 2023. They charged her $46500 USD and gave her all sorts of "treatments" which were more like torture. She described them as way worse than chemo. Five minutes before she was supposed to leave CHIPSA, a "doctor" met with her to let her know that she should go home to Canada and do the chemo the doctors here recommended. Her Canadian CT's show that in the month that she deferred chemo to try CHIPSA her tumour grew four times the size. She is currently bedridden and requiring bi-weekly blood transfusions. They plan to start chemo tomorrow, but the doctors are concerned about major complications (tumour lysis syndrome) due to the bulk of the tumour now. I know cancer and end of life are scary, but this place will not solve your problems. The five star reviews are fake. I don't know how the people who work for CHIPSA sleep at night. This place is a scam. *Update: My mother died less than two months after completing her CHIPSA "treatment". If she would have perused conventional treatment in Canada, there is a good chance she would have been cured for free. Please don't gamble your money and life away at this place. read more
