Mexican cancer clinics

November 11, 2004

Carolyn (and list),

I thought that I would give you a little of the background of some of

the Tijuana cancer clinics during the years before you came to Tijuana to

recruit patients for Jeff Freeman.

I first met Jeff when I was medical director of the Manner

Clinic. This was before Wilner took over in about 1991. Del

Rio (one of the owners) gave Jeff a tour of the place to see if their was

any interest in employment. Jeff had a job with Kurt Donsbach at Santa

. When Jeff started Europa he had a great hostility toward

Donsbach. I told him that Donsbach was no saint (as anyone can tell you)

but that this is a small world and it doesn't make sense to unnecessarily

make enemies. Much of the hostility centered on ownership of microwave

hyperthemia equipment. Filiberto Munoz also worked with Donsbach for a

while including running the hyperthermia equipment and he too felt a bit of

disillusionment in many of the therapies. Jeff and Filiberto are MD

clinicians.

I came to a parting of ways with both Cytopharma and with the Manner

Clinic. I had taught the chemists at Cytopharma how to make Deprenyl but

they couldn't get a license to manufacture and distribute it at that

time. My deal with the Del Rios and the Manner Clinic was that I would

serve as director and that my remuneration would be 15% of gross. Andy

McNaughton (RIP) brought in Wilner who lost his Florida medical

license for using ozone. Rob Wilner made a deal to run the Manner Clinic

for 12-1/2% of gross and the Del Rios thought that this was a better deal.

Dr Wilner and I did not get along at first. I refused to wear a tie

and he refused to give up smoking. I also thought he was too much of a

showboat and was convincing himself of nonsense. His downfall was when he

convinced himself that HIV did not cause AIDS. He injected himself with

AIDS-tainted blood before an audience in Spain. Soon after he died of AIDS.

Del Rio then invited Hulda to the Manner Clinic. He had

to do something to bring in patients. He told me that he had to let her go

as all her patients were dying. I did not talk to Hulda but I feel sure

that there are two sides to this story. I was not interested in returning

to the Manner Clinic as money was not being put back into improving patient

services and I did not like backstage micromanagement by the Del Rio

brothers. The Manner Clinic is now closed. This is unfortunate as it was

one of the first clinics and many patients did very well in the days that

Harold Manner developed the therapies.

About 1992 I began working with Len Sands at the San Diego

Clinic. It began as a herpes clinic. It was easy work (nine to five), the

treatments were very effective, but what could be more boring than painting

genitals all day long. One physician who worked for us was Martha

Munoz. She is an excellent physician who now does the Whole Body

Hyperthermia at the San Diego Clinic. Her husband Filiberto was a

physician at Santa , at the Hoxey clinic, and a couple of other

places before he started to work with Jeff Freeman at Europa.

Jeff and Filiberto worked out well for a while. They both brought

different things to the table. Jeff's wife ( ,MD) took

over doing the microwave hyperthermia which was the main attraction at

Europa. Personally I liked Jeff a lot but his health went downhill. He

was semi-crippled from what appeared to be an earlier stroke. He developed

heart disease and diabetes. He had to spend more and more time away from

the clinic and hospitalized that the clinic suite that he put together in

the Lloyd building had to close. Carolyn Borman came to Tijuana and tried

to recruit patients for Europa. I thought this was a plus as she seems

intelligent; she was certainly industrious. Europa's prices were too high

and neither Jeff nor had people skills. Jeff would get cranky by

afternoon and I always thought that seemed a bit uncomfortable with

alternative medicine. I was hoping that with Carolyn doing the marketing

that prices would drop.

Both Filiberto and I brought many patients there for microwave

hyperthermia. Joyce Palau also had a clinic with a quality microwave

hyperthermia. They both had their pluses and minuses. Neither clinic

seemed to be familiar with sensitizers nor were they willing to push it to

the limits of what the equipment can do. Microwave hyperthermia is a

regional hyperthermia that reaches to a depth of about two centimeters --

almost an inch. Occasionally you could slow perfusion through a deeper

tumor by injecting xylocaine with epinephrine and this would allow heat to

build. Microwave hyperthermia is often my strong recommendation with

certain small breast cancers and with most squamous cell cancers of the

neck. Some patients have done well with hyperthermia with radiation. For

patients who chose this option I recommend various sensitizers depending on

the case. Normally I am not a fan of radiation and don't encourage it, but

I have seen it help save the day with certain brain cancers

and intractable bone pain.

Filiberto quit Europe to work with Len Sands at the San Diego

Clinic. The emphasis at the SDC at that time was mostly the German immune

therapies and the mycoplasma vaccine. This vaccine was developed by Dr.

Scheidl who taught not only Dr. Issels but a number of other people in

Tijuana. I don't make it as it is an older technology, but I am

considering writing a book that will spell out the procedure.

The best profit center for Jeff was the microwave hyperthermia. He

and would often try to package it into ten sessions. With

sensitizers I could usually get it down to three sessions and a tumor would

resolve, but I pushed it on the heat and duration -- and the sensitizers

would often cause nausea. Most people think that, well, this is nothing

but heat and heat is doable, but hyperthermia is a real treatment and it

can be extremely draining.

After funding the development of some remarkable vaccines Len Sands

died of old age and a confluence of ailments and Filiberto took over the

SDC. He purchased a fancy German Whole Body Hyperthermia. It is an

excellent computer controlled device and dovetailed neatly into the use of

meds that were developed through the generous funding of Loren

Parks. Results began to climb faster and we began to discard other

treatments that sounded good but just didn't pan out in the real world. I

think Carolyn mentioned a few that Jeff used before he lost his health.

Jeff needed something else to bring patients in and began working

with Hoffman using cesium and aloe. I have no idea how well this worked

out. I was uncomfortable with the notion as it seemed a bit dangerous and

I did know of one disaster where Hoffman gave it to a woman with a

chemo-damaged heart and she sank. Jeff resolved to minimize his working

relationship with Hoffman. Jeff and tried working with Wm Hitt who

was making lots of money spinning down patient urine, adding benzocaine and

injecting it back into the patient. I bet they didn't teach Dr Hitt that

in med school. I sat and talked with Dr. Hitt one day. He wore the

world's whitest lab jacket and had absolutely nothing on his desk. I made

a mental note to never let him see my desk. I hoped that Jeff would not

get too involved with Bill Hitt.

was extremely supportive of Jeff. What I thought

she lacked in the human relations department she more than made up in

supporting her husband. She took jobs at other clinics and worked, worked,

worked. I began to see a side of her that I hold in the highest

respect. Meanwhile Carolyn continued developing her business. This

includes sales of a whole body hyperthermia device that has a very clean

and modern look to it. I don't know what such devices normally sell for,

but the prices she quoted did not seem unfair. I think that Carolyn is

offering a real service by selling these things.

For the last three years I have operated a non-profit organization

in Solana Beach (The Center for the Study of Natural Oncology) which is

about 40 minutes north of the border. Our main purpose has been to develop

straightforward medicines and strategies that work for cancer. We try to

keep things as natural and safe as possible. One of the goals is to find

ways to put such treatments under the patient's own control so they no

longer have to rely on expensive clinics and costly meds. We also try to

determine which popular alternative treatments are being oversold.

The Center has worked very well with the SDC over the years and by

patients arranging their treatment through our non-profit they can get many

of their costs cut. For those patients who have no money we still try to

find some treatment that will help. If we can find another donor we will

make the lab and maybe the SDC both part of the non-profit. We will also

establish a place where patients can stay -- something like a hospice only

our intention will be to rescue the patient, not ferry them across that

dreaded river. I have discussed this in the past.

We accept donations from private people, from foundations, and from

most corporations. We won't accept money from pharmaceutical companies nor

from government. Currently the Center is without funding, everyone is

volunteer, and I've been funding the office and lab rent with home equity

and credit cards. This will cease in December if something doesn't come

together fast. If there is anyone on the list who wants a tax write off

and wants to see the incredible uniqueness of our Center, come down and

spend a week or two with me. You will see the vast majority of difficult

cases turn around. I have a philosophy of operating everything with

absolute transparency. As time allows we will be teaching other clinics

and clinicians how we approach cases.

We never try to convince anyone of anything. That is not the way we

work. We sit down with the patient and problem solve. The whole idea is

to develop a treatment plan for a sustainable remission that can be put in

the hands of the patient. I personally prefer the stage 3 and stage 4

cases. There are many alternative clinics that can routinely provide

competent help with early cancers.

Bob Hurt asked me if I would write about various treatments, when

they work and when they don't. I will try to as I find time but the job at

hand is to keep the non-profit going.

Thank you for this detailed information. If you want I can give

you some more inforamtion about hyperthermy in Europe where also in

certain special clincis, also in regular academic hospitals, hyperthermy

develops very very fast and wiht good succeses and for reasonalbel prices.

and even some patients get theier hyperthermy poayed by

insurecancecompanies. Not all of them but we are close to that. .

In the hospitals in Berlin and Nurnberg they use now very advanced

machines for hyperthermy in combination with radiation and chemo. This

week I will write the story of a Dutch man at my website who was treated

in april-may 2004 for his relapse of prostatecancer with nanotecnology

wich is not more or less a combination of brachytherapy-hyperthermy and

magnettherapy. Very very interesting and this man has now already for six

months after the last treatment a PSA of 0.05. and it has been for months

and months around 6-8 before the treatment. his quality of life is

excellent. The man is 69 years old.

But I hope to write more about this all next week.
