It pains me to write this review because in many ways, this was a 5 star experience for me. The…read morenurses and staff are amazing, the core treatments are very good, and the price is comparatively reasonable for what you are receiving. But I was lied to by the doctors about my protocol. I came to this clinic specifically after doing a search for ozone and cancer in Mexico because the tumor I had been living with and had stabilized for the past 3 years grew exponentially after the discovery of mold in my home. I knew that I needed something that could kill the mold while also treating the cancer. I emailed ITC first and told them that I was most interested in the ozone program. I had an initial phone call with a doctor again stressing that I needed ozone. I had another call to ask follow up questions in which I asked if I could do ozone 5 days in a row if needed. They said that could be done but they would need to evaluate me once I got there. I also asked if I could get a heavy metals test done there. They said yes. So once I arrived, I noticed that there was no ozone on my sheet but only UBI (Ultraviolet blood irridiation). That's usually done in conjunction with ozone so I assumed that was it. But during my 2nd week, I started to realize that ozone was not being done! In fact there was no ozone at all even though it's listed in their list of potential therapies. Also heavy metal testing was not available since it would take 15 days to get results. So basically my understanding is that they will say whatever they need to in order to get you in the door. And part of their strategy is that they list many therapies that they do not actually do on their website in order to appear in different searches. Again, I want to stress that I really do think their core program is effective. Everyone pretty much gets the same basic treatments with variations in IVs depending on if you're doing low dose chemo or not. I was able to do more B17/DMSO and chelation since I opted not to do chemo. The superstar nurses are often treating a number of people at the same time so I don't think it's possible to really have a completely individualized program. So I completely understand not having ozone. But to have a doctor lie to my face about my treatments is a terrible breach of the doctor/patient relationship and left a bad taste in my mouth.
A few other small matters that came up. There are other procedures that they advise that will cost anywhere from $1800 - approx $5000. If you are spending an extra $5000 and have to stay at the clinic for 12 hours, food should be included. They charged me $6 for a smoothie and I heard other people complain about all the extra charges for food if you have a special diet like keto. Finally, they need to inform people of extra charges up front, like the additional fee if you are coming from San Diego to an area of Tijuana that's not in the central zone, as well as a fee for the medical license that the driver needs to bring you back to San Diego. It should not be the job of the driver to ask for that money. I know it's small, but little things like this plus the doctors lying to me point to a lack of honesty and transparency that need to be remedied.
Also just be aware that there is an optional take home program that can get pricey. It's split between supplements, nutritional supplements, their immunotherapies, and devices. You can pick what you want to get but it could be up to $12,000.
Ultimately, I'd like to thank all the incredible people I met, the nurses and all the restaurant folks who really went above and beyond in their friendliness and care for every patient. Despite the disappointment, I am getting better and I could see changes in my body very quickly. I'm grateful for the experience as it taught me how to be stronger in every way, mind body and soul, and to be more careful about trusting doctors. Keep asking questions! It's your life and your body, you need to advocate fearlessly for yourself at all times!!
