Oasis of Hope

Led by Dr. Francisco Contreras, Oasis of Hope provides alternative cancer treatment delivered by an experienced multidisciplinary team of physicians. Using unique approaches to treatment, as well as traditional modalities, Oasis of Hope has achieved survival rates that are three times higher than the national average in the United States.

Since its inception in 1963, the hospital has provided treatment to more than 100,000 patients living in 60 different countries around the world. The hospital listens closely to the experiences of past patients and provides five years of continued care after treatment.

Oasis of Hope therapies heavily rely on nutritional therapy and natural treatments. Research has provided compelling evidence for the preventive and curative benefits of certain diets and regular aerobic exercise. The most recent research suggests that changes in diet and exercise can slow the growth of existing cancer. Patients may receive supplements, nutritional therapy, or nutraceuticals, depending on individual cases.

Individuals at Oasis of Hope may also receive medical cancer interventions, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Dr. Contreras looks at individual cases to create customized treatment plans according to type and severity of cancer.
