What to Expect

We know the thought of leaving home for several weeks for treatment may feel intimidating. This page explains in detail what you can expect from your time at our center in Tijuana, Mexico.

Step 1

Getting Started

The term “cancer” describes over 100 diseases that can affect any part of the body. All types of cancer start with abnormal cells growing out of control.

Normal cells in the body grow, divide to form new cells, and die in a steady, orderly way. Cancer cells continue to grow and divide without dying, and may grow into other tissues. Cancer cells frequently grow into tumors, which can replace normal cells or push them aside.

Every cancer diagnosis is different. Symptoms vary widely. The cancer may progress slowly or quickly. It may remain in one part of the body or metastasize (spread to other tissues or organs).

Step 2

Arriving to the Center

You may fly into either the Tijuana, Mexico or San Diego, California International Airport. We will make arrangements to pick you up from either airport and take you directly to Immunity Therapy Center or your hotel. If you are driving your own vehicle, we will provide directions to Immunity Therapy Center.

If your treatment program is out-patient, we will provide local hotel recommendations. These hotels offer reduced rates for Immunity Therapy Center patients, as well as a driver to provide transportation to and from treatment (at no additional charge).

Please visit our Travel Information page for information about traveling to, and staying in, Tijuana during your alternative treatment program.

Step 3

Beginning Your Treatment

Dr. Bautista will meet with you immediately to complete a thorough evaluation, and also to spend some time getting to know you, so you feel comfortable working with him during your cancer treatment.

Dr. Bautista will review your initial diagnosis and current condition, your previous cancer treatments, and your medical history. He will want to know specifically about your experience—physically, mentally, and emotionally—because your attitude toward treatment is an important factor in its success. You will also discuss your lifestyle, and how that may affect your cancer and the efficacy of your alternative therapies.

Please ask Dr. Bautista any questions you have—now and at any time during your treatment. He will develop a completely custom, integrative, and holistic cancer therapy program for you to receive during your stay.

Step 4

During Your Treatment

You will find our facility is designed to provide a peaceful, restorative, hopeful environment. Your days at Immunity Therapy Center will vary based on your specific, customized alternative therapies and natural cancer treatment program. One thing you can expect is to meet with your assigned doctor every day to evaluate how your cancer treatment is progressing.

Step 5

Treatment Length

Most of our natural cancer treatment programs last three weeks. Depending on the type of cancer you have, its stage, and your overall condition, you may need additional weeks of alternative cancer treatment. Dr. Bautista will discuss the length of your cancer therapy during your initial phone consultation and when you arrive at Immunity Therapy Center.

Step 6

What to Wear

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing during your treatment program at Immunity Therapy Center, and avoid wearing jewelry. You may wish to wear layers you can remove and put on easily. We want you to be comfortable, and Dr. Bautista and our nurses will need to easily access different parts of your body while you are receiving cancer therapies and natural treatments.

Step 7

In Case of Complications

Our treatment programs are more natural and less aggressive, therefore complications during treatment are rare. If one does occur, we are able to attend to it with the proper equipment and a fully-trained staff.

Step 8

Your Time in Tijuana

2 Healthy, organic meals are included in the cost of your Immunity Therapy Center program, from Monday to Saturday. Outside of these meals/days, our onsite chef is available to prepare additional healthy, organic meals for you.

Lodging costs are not included.

We are here to answer all of your questions about Tijuana, and are happy to provide recommendations.

Step 9

Ending Your Treatment

Dr. Bautista will evaluate your condition thoroughly at the end of your cancer treatment program. We expect by this time you will be seeing very positive results. You will receive a customized “home program” with various alternative therapies, medications, and natural supplements to continue your progress to remission. Depending on your individual condition, we may recommend you return for follow-up treatment in three to six months.

    Autoimmune Diseases

    Autoimmune diseases are caused by an abnormal response from the body’s immune system. Essentially, the immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues instead of fighting foreign pathogens. Autoimmune diseases and symptoms vary widely—they can be mild, severe, or life-threatening. In most cases, the causes are unknown.

    Autoimmune diseases we treat:

  • Many patients come to us after going through several rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and other conventional cancer treatments. Our alternative cancer therapy programs are often more effective and have fewer side effects for our patients than those treatments.

    Many of our alternative therapies are designed to boost your immune system so it is better able to recognize, fight, and kill cancer cells without the need of chemotherapy and radiation.

    Learn more about our alternative cancer therapies.

  • We offer the following alternative therapies for naturally treating cancer and other diseases:

    • Whole Body Hyperthermia
    • Localized Hyperthermia
