Meet Some Of Our Patients Who Have Regained Their Health Through Our Alternative Therapies

Shannon Lee McCarrer

After struggling with chronic hives for over ten years, Shannon came to Immunity Therapy Center after hearing about a friend’s remarkable recovery from stage 4 cancer. Despite trying countless treatments in the United States, her symptoms had become debilitating. Encouraged by her husband and the success stories she’d heard, she decided to travel to Tijuana for care, and she found exactly what she had been hoping for.

She described her experience as inspirational, noting that she witnessed other patients make incredible strides in their health while she herself began to feel lasting relief. Having worked in the medical field for 45 years, she was deeply moved by the dedication of every team member—from doctors and nurses to the nutrition and kitchen staff—each committed to making sure her treatment experience was positive and effective. “I’ve never experienced an entire team listening and really understanding how to take care of all of us,” she shared. Since starting treatment, she’s lost inflammation, regained her energy, and found a renewed sense of health and peace. Grateful for the affordability and compassionate care she received, she says she would recommend Immunity Therapy Center to anyone seeking real, holistic healing.

Teresa Wilson

After being diagnosed with recurrent metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her bones, Denise sought hope beyond conventional treatment. A family connection led her to Immunity Therapy Center after hearing about a young woman named Gabriella who had fully recovered from Hodgkin’s lymphoma through our care. Encouraged by that story, Denise and her family spoke with Dr. Alvarez, and within weeks, she began her first round of treatments in Tijuana.

Since then, Denise’s cancer has regressed dramatically, from being widespread in her bones to just two remaining spots. She credits the personalized, non-invasive therapies and the compassionate staff who made every step of her journey feel supported. Denise shared how Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Bautista took time to review her tests, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure she felt confident in her treatment plan. “They take very good care of you. You’re very safe here,” Denise shares.

Denise’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible when care is compassionate, integrative, and deeply personalized.

Kelly Gordon

After struggling to get answers and care back home in Tucson, Arizona, Kelly Gordon turned to the internet in search of alternatives—and found Immunity Therapy Center. She was immediately struck by how quickly the team responded, with a doctor consultation scheduled within 48 hours. “It was such a relief to get that response and that were were steps I could take and things I could do,” she said. Kelly began treatment with a customized plan designed around her needs, and within just a few months, the tumor near her kidney had shrunk to nearly nothing, with no cancer visible in her lymph nodes—an outcome she hadn’t expected to happen so quickly.

Throughout her experience at ITC, Kelly emphasized the comfort, attentiveness, and hands-on care she received. She shared that Dr. Bautista and Dr. Alvarez made themselves available, and that the entire staff knew where she was supposed to be at every moment.  The supportive atmosphere, paired with a clear treatment plan and compassionate team, gave Kelly the sense of hope and healing she had been missing. She recommends ITC because: “it gives people another avenue of hope and of treatments, and despite where you are at, and what you’ve been through and what you’ve done, there’s still hope here.”

Kellie Krenning

After a rare and aggressive diagnosis of Synovial Sarcoma, Kellie Krenning from Montana faced years of grueling treatments that never seemed to stop the cancer from returning. When told her only remaining option was to stay on chemotherapy pills indefinitely, Kellie decided to take a different path—one that led her to Immunity Therapy Center. Guided by strong patient recommendations and her own research, she chose ITC for its integrative approach and compassionate care.

From the moment she arrived, Kellie felt supported and at ease. “It wasn’t a big medical center—it’s warm, it’s inviting, and everyone’s friendly,” she shared. In just four weeks, her tumors had shrunk, there was no new growth—something that hadn’t happened in over two years—and she felt better than she had in years. With personalized therapies, daily access to her doctors, and nourishing food that left her asking for recipes, Kellie not only found healing, but renewed hope. “There’s help out there,” she said. “Just do it…it’s your life you’re talking about, and it’s pretty important.”

Jessica Friedland

Jessica Friedland’s journey highlights the transformative care at the Immunity Therapy Center. After being diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in May 2023 and given only one year to live, Jessica sought hope beyond conventional medicine. In the U.S., she was denied treatment options, but at ITC, she discovered a supportive environment that combined innovative therapies and holistic care.

Through tailored treatments, her breast tumors shrank by over 50%, her cancer stabilized, and she transitioned off pain medications despite extensive bone involvement. “I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t come here last year,” Jessica shared. She emphasized the compassion and responsiveness of ITC’s staff, along with the peaceful, stress-reducing atmosphere that played a crucial role in her recovery.

Jessica’s story stands as a testament to the life-saving potential of personalized cancer care and the importance of addressing every aspect of a patient’s well-being.

Allen Dixen

Allen Dixen, from the U.S., was diagnosed with cancer after initially thinking he had the flu and a bump near his belly button. Traditional healthcare took time to diagnose him, but once he connected with the Immunity Therapy Center, things moved quickly. After sending his emergency room results, ITC contacted him within 30 minutes, set up a Zoom call with Dr. Orozco, and scheduled his treatment to begin shortly after.

Allen highlights the compassionate and efficient care he received: “I talked with him for five minutes, and I felt like a dark cloud was lifting off of me.” He appreciated how well the entire team at ITC worked together and how they tailored his treatment to his specific needs. He describes the center as a “fine-oiled machine” and felt supported by the community of patients and staff during his stay.

His wife recommends ITC to others, saying, “It’s a great place to be, when you are going through something like this. This is a place that brings you comfort and unity.”

Angela Maddalone

Angela Maddalone’s journey with Immunity Therapy Center reflects her determination to find an effective, compassionate alternative to traditional cancer treatments. After facing the challenges of non-small cell lung cancer, including painful surgeries and difficulty with immunotherapy due to an autoimmune disease, Angela sought a more personalized approach to care. She discovered ITC through extensive research and was drawn to our comprehensive treatment plans, cutting-edge therapies like cell therapy, and the supportive environment they provided.

Within weeks of treatment, Angela saw remarkable improvements. “Some of the treatments actually have reduced my pain significantly, and I actually stopped taking some of my pain medicine after arriving,” she shared. Her lymph node size decreased by half, and her voice, vital to her profession, recovered noticeably. With ITC’s tailored therapies and the unwavering kindness of their staff, Angela feels empowered to take control of her health, stating that the care she received gave her a chance “to be in control of [her] own destiny, health, and future.”

Gabrielle Friscia

Facing Stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Gabrielle Friscia and her family sought comprehensive treatment within their country’s borders. Unfortunately, their search came up short. By chance, it was Gabrielle’s father who discovered the ITC just days after her diagnosis. Initially skeptical about pursuing treatment in Mexico, like any patient, they embarked on this medical journey.

The results were remarkable. Following her initial scan, Gabrielle’s lymphoma exhibited astonishing shrinkage. From six neck spots, only two remained. A once 6.6 cm tumor on her neck was reduced to a mere 1.9 cm. Gabrielle praised ITC’s staff for their genuine care and attentiveness, saying, “The staff did an amazing job here, not only connecting with you but also caring for you.“

In Gabrielle’s own words, the professionalism, attentiveness, and holistic approach of the ITC team were a transformative experience. Her story is a testament to the dedication that transcends borders, restoring hope and health to those who seek it most.

Theresa Dinallo

Theresa Dinallo, from Cleveland, Ohio, was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in her right breast in 2013. Faced with the decision of how to treat her cancer, Teresa knew she didn’t want to follow the conventional path of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Instead, she sought out natural alternatives and was determined to find a holistic approach that aligned with her values.

After researching alternatives, Teresa found the Immunity Therapy Center in Mexico. What impressed her most was the immediate and personal communication with Dr. Alvarez. “He called me two or three times during the day, and I emailed him photos.” In the States, she ran into the common struggle of only being able to book appointments that span over months. However, with ITC, the process was fast, thorough, and comforting. “It was communication unlike anything we experienced in the States.” 

Theresa made the trip to Mexico, accompanied by her mother, and was pleasantly surprised by the compassionate atmosphere of the center. The staff, the meals, and the community of patients made it feel like a home away from home. “It’s almost like you’re building a mini-family,” she adds. With the support of ITC, Teresa feels confident in her choice. “This was the best decision I made, and it was exactly what I expected the outcome to be for me.”

Sadie Litosky

Hailing from Calgary, Canada, Sadie Litosky’s life took a turn when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at just 19 years old. In a few short months, this first-year university student went from having a minor neck lump to facing breathing difficulties and chest pains.

Sadie’s mother tirelessly researched treatment options worldwide and discovered ITC. Initially skeptical, Sadie’s outlook changed when she received a treatment plan designed to minimize harm to her body, a contrast to traditional treatments.

At ITC, Sadie found the therapies non-invasive and comparatively painless. Within two weeks, she felt the benefits: increased energy, relief from chest pain, and improved breathing. After three and a half months of treatment, Sadie achieved complete remission.

She praises ITC for its supportive community, amazing nurses, and caring doctors, highlighting Dr. Bautista’s transparency. The positive environment and personalized care made her journey from fear to hope a reality. In Sadie’s own words, “I was welcomed by everyone here, which was really nice, especially when I was scared.”
