Oasis of Hope Hospital

Body, mind, and spirit are the emphasis of the healing programs at the Oasis of Hope Hospital. At its healm is Dr. Francisco Contreras, renown oncologist and author. He promotes the “Total Care” approach, that was developed by his father, the late Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr.. The total care approach is designed to combat cancer and improve the quality of life. This approach recognizes that the whole person has physical, mental and spiritual needs. Nutritional, spiritual, psychological counseling and an education program support the medical treatment.

The Oasis of Hope group of doctors treat you; not the disease. They will provide therapies that not only attack the cancer, but will equip your immune system to fight against cancer. A special detoxification program will create the necessary environment for your body to get the best results.

More than 40,000 Americans have sought care at the Oasis of Hope since 1963. Contreras forms partnerships for life with patients to provide therapy that will improve the quality of their physical, mental and spiritual lives. A beautiful 100 bed medical / surgical facility, intensive care unit, 25 specialties, dental and cosmetic / reconstructive surgery and a serene environment are part of the support for the patients at the Oasis of Hope Hospital. Oasis of Hope offers a free phone consultation and book to everyone who calls.

Cancer Support Groups . . .
A vital link in the healing process.

Cancer support groups provide the vital link between patients with cancer and the emotional, financial, and spiritual support needed to endure their often times life-threatening experience. One-to-one programs provide vital educational information for the prevention and alternative treatment of cancer. CARF provides funding for various qualified cancer support groups.

 

The Gerson Therapy:
Healing ‘Incurable’ Diseases

The Gerson Therapy is a state of the art, contemporary; holistic and natural treatment which utilizes the body’s own healing mechanism in the treatment and cure of chronic debilitating illness. The Gerson approach to wellness was originally developed by Max Gerson, M.D. in the late 1920’s and refined by his empirical observation and careful experimentation over the course of 30 years of clinical practice. After he died in 1959, his daughter Charlotte continued his work, establishing the non-profit Gerson Institute in 1976 to continue to develop and enhance Gerson’s protocol through continued treatment, research and observation.


Through the efforts of the Gerson Institute and its allied practitioners, thousands of patients have been treated using the Gerson Therapy protocol for a variety of diseases over the last twenty years. Hundreds of long-term remissions of otherwise terminal diseases have been documented, including a number of patients by Gerson himself in the 1940s and 1950s, still healthy and active as much as fifty years after their original diagnosis.

“With generous high quality nutrition, increased oxygen availability, increased metabolism, and improved detoxification, the cells — and the body — can regenerate, become healthy, and prevent future illness. With the immune system reactivated, the body can heal itself.”
Max Gerson, M.D.

“I see in Dr. Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in medical history.”
— Albert Schweitzer, M.D.

In programs and services, CARF directs it's efforts and resources towards supporting programs, clinics, and hospitals that teach the public about and provide methods for treatment of cancer.
