FAQ

Questions before you decide.

Can the Institute treat Stage IV cancer?+

Yes, in fact, over half of cancer patients are stage IV and although each patient’s outcome is different based on their current health situation, medical history, eating habits, and overall lifestyle, our studies have shown that many of our cancer patients have reported benefit from our treatments. It’s very important that patients in stage 4 make timely decisions because time is of the essence for the treatment to take a positive effect.

Can I undergo treatment at the Institute if I've undergone chemotherapy?+

Yes, many of our patients are still doing chemotherapy or have had it done in the past. One of the great benefits of our treatments is that it doesn’t affect being in chemo like most other treatments, in fact, many of our most successful cases have already done chemo in the past. Our treatments will precondition the body to eliminate the toxic effects from previous chemotherapy to get the body to its optimal condition for the treatment.

What kind of outcomes can patients expect?+

Every case is different, and no clinic can promise a cure. What we can say is that many of our patients achieve meaningful control of their disease — and some reach remission (no evidence of disease) — while maintaining or improving quality of life. Outcomes depend on cancer type, stage, and individual factors, and are never guaranteed. The best way to understand your specific situation is a case review with our physicians.

What are the side effects of cancer treatment?+

Because our program employs natural treatments that only enhance the body’s own natural ability to attack cancer, there’s no negative side-effects. Patients who have previously undergone chemotherapy will be administered a chemo-preconditioning program that will decrease the negative side-effects like, such as hair loss, nausea, toxicity, anemia, and others, until the body is in optimal condition for our treatment program.

What is the difference between the Immunotherapy offered through your program and what my doctors are recommending at home?+

There are two main types of immunotherapy, chemical, and autologous immunotherapy; we have seen great success with the latter.

In the autologous cellular immunotherapy process, we collect your immune cells and infuse them back into your body after culture.

In the process we activate the anti-tumor response and “train these cells” to effectively target and attack cancer cells.

Autologous Cellular Immunotherapy is made out of specific types of cells mainly Dendritic, NK cells and T lymphocytes.

These cells act against the cancer cells and recharge the immune system.

When they find a tumor cell, the NK and T cells bind themselves to its membrane and inject toxins which kill the cancer cell.

In less than five minutes, the cancer cell dies and the NK and T cells move on to their next target.

Every single case has different specifications, which is why its so important to explore your unique situation.

To find out if this is the right therapy for you, please contact us via phone or Facebook.

What kind of hyperthermia do you offer?+

There are two types, regional and systemic.

Regional refers to the increase of temperature of a single zone or area.

Systemic is whole-body hyperthermia, which refers to the increase in temperature to hyperthermic levels over the entire body.

Hyperthermia is proven to enhance the effect of anti-cancer treatments like immunotherapy and conventional treatments such as chemo or radiation.

Positive trials have established hyperthermia, in combination with anti-cancer drugs, as a breakthrough cancer treatment.

Hyperthermia is generally well tolerated; side effects are typically mild and are reviewed with you before treatment.

Another thing you might wonder is, How long will each session be?

We see great outcomes with 2 to 4 hour-long sessions.

What are the benefits of the hyperthermia we use at our center?

It’s fast acting. You’ll feel results within the first couple of sessions.
You’ll be alert, you won’t have to go through sedation and anesthesia.

You won’t experience any discomfort, which allows for a much larger period, and hence, achieves in a single session, what would take us up to 8 sessions to achieve with other methods.
