Re: best clinics

[Guest guest]

Leonard,

The telephone number that you have for the San Diego Clinic (SDC) needs

to be updated. The number to use is

011-52-66-46-83-13-98. About a year ago Mexico changed its telephone codes

and digits were added. Another SDC telephone to try is (619)571-6560. It

might be cheaper to try that one. The best times to call would be weekdays

between 9AM to 2PM PST. If you get a recording I suggest that you call

again later rather than leave a message.

My telephone number at the Center for the Study of Natural Oncology is

(858) 523-9144.

Sincerely,

[Guest guest]

Thanks again. That's good stuff for my file.

ALTERNATIVE & INTEGRATIVE CANCER TREATMENT CENTERS

Overview and Disclaimer

The following treatment centers are the places I (a layperson) would most

seriously consider if I had cancer. There are many excellent places not

listed below. I have no affiliation w/any clinic below (except that

Gammill [who's on this list] is a friend & colleague, which compromises my

objectivity on him and CSNO) and am not recommending or endorsing any

clinic, and I assume no responsibility whatsoever. Some information below is

from biased, unreliable, anecdotal, and outdated sources. Commercial

websites are listed for additional information; I do not endorse them.

Please send me any feedback on these clinics and any other clinics or

enzymes, as well as glandulars, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, carrot

juice, a strict diet, and coffee enemas. It's most effective w/pancreatic

cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and soft-tissue sarcomas. It's also

quite effective w/breast and most other cancers. Success is strongly

" CSNO does not directly treat cancer patients. The staff informs patients of

cancer treatment options that are little known or are used in research or in

overseas clinics. CSNO helps patients assess the relative merits of these

therapies and helps make them available..CSNO is an independent non-profit

organization, but it works in conjunction with other clinics, especially the

San Diego Clinic [see below]. CSNO can also arrange for places for cancer

patients to stay while in the San Diego and Tijuana area " ( Gammill).

Dr. Gammill will also work w/patients over the phone. Free initial

consultation.

Dr. Gammill has " 30 years of experience and research on what has been

effective and.ineffective " ; " working with cancer vaccines since the early

1990s " ; " tracks every conceivable cancer treatment -- conventional, natural,

investigational, historical, psychological. makes assessments of the

advantages, disadvantages, and general usefulness of the various cancer

tools, especially in combination. " " I strongly believe that you should treat

each patient like you would a family member, and you can't do that on an

assembly line....I have [much] success with...stage four cancers [(including

pancreatic cancer), as long as medical complications aren't too severe]....I

am familiar with most of the cancer clinics in Mexico and their

therapies..I...provide chemistry, research, and consulting services for a

number of [Tijuana] clinics [particularly San Diego Clinic (SDC; see

I consider Dr. Gammill one of the best holistic cancer practitioners I know

of. Of all the great clinics I know of, CSNO is the most economical.

Most effective w/melanoma; brain tumors; sarcomas; and breast, prostate,

colon, & kidney cancers. Also effective w/ovarian cancer. Least effective

w/pancreatic cancer.

Treatments include hyperthermia (local [for liver metastases and others]

and whole body; sometimes given with low-dose chemotherapy), FEVER THERAPY,

Issels therapy, mistletoe, herbs, Carnivora, electrogalvanic electricity,

hydrotherapy, eumetabolic therapy w/homoepathics, hydrogen peroxide, light

therapy, IV vitamins, enzymes, oxygen therapy, antigens, visualization,

mind-body therapies, and surgery. Chemotherapy, when used, usually employs

lower than conventional doses, or briefer duration, sometimes combined with

hyperthermia. On rare occasions radiation is recommended.

As of 9/01, NFAM.org seemed to think it was the best clinic in Germany:

" best protocol, least expensive " . As of 2002, Moss reportedly considers it

the best clinic. " Ralph Moss....found that Dr. Woeppel...had excellent

documentation to prove his success with advanced...cancer. "
