ISSELS Cancer Vaccine-Oasis of Hope Hospitals

[Guest guest]

Issels Cancer Vaccine

 

You may consult your physician at the Oasis of Hope about adding the

cancer vaccine to your protocol if you are in the Contreras Metabolic

Therapy or TMO. Since 1955, as an important part of his comprehensive

immunotherapy program, Dr. Issels administered an autologous vaccine to

thousands of his cancer patients. The vaccine is prepared from the

patient's own blood following a procedure that favors the development

of antigenic peptides and other immunogenic compounds.

 

The vaccine has contributed to the remarkably high rate of complete long-term

remissions of various kinds of " incurable " cancers by helping to

restore the body's natural cancer fighting mechanisms.

 

Experience has shown that its effectiveness is enhanced when it is

administered within a comprehensive immuno-biological treatment

program, such as the Contreras Metabolic Therapy, that corrects the

conditions that can lead to immune suppression.

 

The vaccine is non-toxic and sterile. It is injected subcutaneously once a week

over 3 months, under medical supervision.

Depending on the response, a new vaccine is prepared for the patient every 3

months for approximately one-year.

HISTORICAL 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.

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.
