• Behind the scenes of my Bioadvanced Medical Center experience

• Full breakdown: Treatments and costs

• 3 International treatment facilities worth knowing

Hi Crew, Carli here!

A little while ago, I posted on Cancer Crew Plus that I travelled to Tijuana, Mexico, for some treatments, and I promised I’d share my experience with you. 

So many of you had great questions, and I’m so excited to finally sit down and tell you all about my incredible experience at Bioadvanced Medical Center.

From the moment I landed in San Diego, I felt completely taken care of. The clinic had a car waiting to pick me up and drive me across the border right to my hotel, the K Tower Lucerna. 

Honestly, it was so seamless and organized, I didn't have to worry about anything. The hotel was beautiful, and the clinic itself is just a couple of blocks away. It was such a relief to feel safe and comfortable, allowing me to just focus on healing.

My first day started with lab work and then a long, in-depth consultation with the doctor. We talked about everything, including my history, my clean scans, but also the lingering bone pain from the medication prescribed to me. 

Based on that conversation, they created a 3-day treatment plan just for me. My personalized plan included:

• Stem Cell Therapy & Natural Killer (NK) Cells to help my body repair and to give my immune system a major boost.

• IV Treatments like high-dose Vitamin C and a mitochondrial booster to fuel my cells and give me more energy.

• Ozone Therapy to help improve my body's oxygen use and support detoxification.

• A Homeopathic Consultation, Radionics and Magnets, and an Ionic Foot Detox as part of a truly holistic approach.

One of the coolest parts was the Live Cell Microscopy. They took a drop of my blood and put it up on a giant screen right in front of me. Seeing my own blood cells live and in action was fascinating and helped me understand what was going on inside my body in a whole new way.

I know a lot of you asked about the practical side of things. For my specific 3-day package, the total cost was about $4,000. But since every treatment plan is personalized after a consultation with the doctor, I'd recommend reaching out to them directly for your own evaluation.

I left feeling so hopeful and so cared for. Their system is tight, and they are answering questions before you even think to ask them. 

When I got home, I was so happy that I could begin to work out again. I felt so strong, and my debilitating knee and back pain were gone and no longer holding me back.

Overall, It was an amazing experience, and I’m so grateful to be able to share it with all of you. Because that's what this Crew is all about, sharing our stories to help each other on this journey.

Why More People Are Seeking Cancer Care Abroad

After reading Carli’s story, you might be wondering why so many people are traveling to other countries for cancer care. Traveling for health isn’t new. Ancient Greeks visited healing temples, and 18th-century Europeans flocked to spa towns. 

But for most of modern history, patients from less-developed countries traveled to the U.S. for top-tier care. In the last few decades, that script has completely flipped, with millions of Americans now traveling abroad for medical treatments every year. 

The reasons usually boil down to two things, cost and options. The incredibly high price of cancer care in the United States and the fact that many Americans lack adequate health insurance is a major factor pushing people to look elsewhere.

At the same time, they are pulled toward international clinics by the promise of different treatments. Countries like Mexico and Germany have different regulations, allowing clinics to offer innovative or alternative therapies that aren’t approved by the FDA or are hard to access in the United States. 

For many, it’s a search for hope, whether that means more affordable care or access to a therapy they can’t get at home. 

A World of Cancer Treatment Options

The landscape of international clinics is vast, with each offering a unique approach to treatment. Here is a quick snapshot to show you the different philosophies you might encounter. 

• Bioadvanced Medical Center (Tijuana, Mexico): We’ve already discussed this clinic, but to reiterate they focus on a holistic philosophy of healing the body and mind. It offers innovative and alternative treatments like Stem Cell Therapy, Ozone Therapy, and IV nutrient therapies to help the body repair itself. 

• Hope4Cancer (Tijuana & Cancun, Mexico): Built on the “7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy”, this center provides non-toxic treatments designed to strengthen the immune system and detoxify the body. 

• The Hallwang Clinic (Black Forest, Germany): This clinic specializes in integrative medicine. They use advanced genomic testing to create personalized plans that may include immunotherapies and targeted drugs not yet standard in America. 

The bottom line is there are many different treatment facilities out there. To make the best decision for the treatment of yourself or a loved one, you need to research the many options available.
