Statistics: Orthodox vs Alternative healing

 

 

TORICAL REVIEW OF CLINICAL TRIALS AT

THE OASIS OF HOPE HOSPITAL

By Francisco Contreras, MD

 

Since 1963, one hundred thousand patients have been treated at the

Oasis of Hope Hospital founded by Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr..

Patients have come here from every part of the world seeking cancer

therapies and treatment approaches pioneered by the Contreras

doctors, specifically the Metabolic Therapy.

 

Dr. Contreras called his cancer therapy " metabolic " because it

enhances normal function of organs while provoking an adverse

environment for malignant cells.

 

This is accomplished through a treatment program that provides

detoxification, natural anti-tumor agents such as laetrile, whole

foods and juices, emotional and spiritual support, and immune

stimulation from vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and enzymes.

 

In 1981, we conducted a retrospective study to document the five-

year survival rates of our cancer patients.

 

It is important to note that 95 percent of these patients came to us

with stage IV cancers after conventional therapy had failed to help

them. They had been sent home to die.

 

We treated them with our metabolic therapy and the results were

encouraging. Our overall five-year survival rate for all types of

cancer was 30 percent. We also noted that 86 percent of our patients

outlived their prognosis and reported an improvement in their

quality of life.

 

Malignancies in the lung, breast, colon and prostate are the most

prevalent in our experience. For this reason, we designed a

prospective study on the efficacy of metabolic therapy focused on

these advanced stage IV cancers.

 

In the table below, we compare our results against those from

clinical trials with conventional therapies.

 

Type of cancer

Number of patients 5 yr. survival rate (%)

 

Oasis -Conventional

 

Lung Cancer 200 30% 2%

Breast Cancer 130 39% 21%

Colon Cancer 150 30% 8%

Prostate Cancer 600 86% 33%

 

1. Distant: A malignant cancer that has spread to parts of the body

remote from the primary tumor either by direct extension or by

discontinuous metastasis to distant organs, tissues, or via the

lymphatic system to distant lymph nodes.

The Oasis statistics when compared to the Conventional statistics

are dramatically better.

 

What makes these results astounding to me is the difference between

the Oasis group and the Conventional group.

 

The Oasis patients had already undergone surgery, radiation or

chemotherapy. They had endured the hair loss, nausea, burns and

devastation of their energy levels and immune systems.

 

Those in the Conventional group had no previous treatment to damage

their general condition. They had a fresh start.

 

We can only speculate on the better results we could achieve with

patients that would avoid conventional therapy before they arrive to

the Oasis of Hope.

 

In spite of the impressive results, our studies were rejected by all

peer reviewed medical journals.

 

The only studies that these groups recognize are single drug double

blind clinical trials.

 

Our study just didn't meet those criteria. In fact, our results

depend on a combination of therapies. This makes it difficult to

single out one active agent, and this is the objective of cancer

research.

 

Scientists want to identify the 'means' and we have focused

completely on the end 'result'.

 

Our results in lung cancer were so dramatic however that one group

of oncological authorities did invite us to make a presentation at

the World Congress on Cancer in Buenos Aires.

 

Unfortunately, the Congress coordinators canceled our participation

at the last minute due to opposition from some outspoken doctors.

 

Once again, those who insisted that the results were secondary and

that our study did not adhere to their guidelines were able to

silence us.

 

In the past, financial restraints and negativity from the

oncological community have hindered us from conducting standard

double blind clinical trials.

 

But the legal and medical environment is changing as more and more

people demand access to alternative medicine. The governments in the

USA and Mexico have already established offices of alternative

medicine in their health departments. The Ministry of Health in

Mexico has approved our application for a clinical research

organization (CRO) and we are now positioning ourselves for research

grants.

 

We intend to conduct the necessary trials to publish the results in

an effort to make valid therapies available to people in any part of

the world.

 

We have never been on a crusade to prove the value of alternative

therapies. In fact, we have often been criticized for our use of

conventional medicine.

 

We keep focused on our ultimate goal, the total well being of our

patients. We try not to limit our patients to either alternative or

orthodox therapies. We offer them what are the most effective and

least harmful options.

Our approach compliments conventional medicine with natural elements

and mind/spirit support. To our critics who wage that we do not

utilize pure science, we would like to remind them…

 

Medicine is much more than science, it is a healing art.
