We offer the most effective nutrition- and vaccine-based immunotherapy, intelligently integrated with other “best-choice-for-you” methods and materials. Integrative immunology can produce results superior to “stand-alone” chemotherapy and radiation, which are frequently offered as the “only options available” in standardized industrial oncology.
We are known as the Gerson Hospital
CHIPSA (Centro Hospitalario Internacional del Pacifico S.A.) is a full-service community hospital caring for sick and injured within the community of the ocean-front suburb of Playas de Tijuana.
CHIPSA’s special research license allows it to offer investigational therapies on a compassionate basis. Since 1979, CHIPSA’s Gerson-integrated medical practice has become world renowned, and has long been identified as the home of Mexico’s Center for Integrative Medicine and Research.
Our original inspiration was the monumental contribution of Max B. Gerson, M.D., scholar, investigator and developer of the first comprehensive nutritional-immunotherapy in the history of medicine. Gerson and the majority of his collaborating contemporaries documented resolution of infectious and degenerative diseases, including durable remissions of advanced cancer.
History
Dr. Gerson’s diet therapy was introduced in Mexico in 1977 with the dedication of several beds at the Hospital La Gloria. Both the treatment’s initial successes and popular demand prompted the opening of a second facility in 1979, the Hospital Jardines de la Mesa. The economic downturn of the 1980′s led to the merger of these facilities. Following a major fire that seriously damaged the La Gloria facility, a temporary location was established at Hospital Del Sol in Playas de Tijuana. Within five years, the medical practice moved to new facilities at Centro Hospitalario Internacional del Pacifico, S.A. (CHIPSA), a full service community hospital, where it has made its home for nearly twenty years.
Throughout this time, the cancer therapy developed by Dr. Gerson has remained a foundation for the management of cancer and other chronic and degenerative diseases. Modern chemo-prevention research into phytochemicals has led to more precise understanding and to refinement of the approach. Today, the seminal contributions of Dr Gerson continue to grow in importance as vaccine-based immunotherapy comes of age, because nutritional control improves the immune system’s responsiveness.
Collaborations
The medical practice of CHIPSA collaborated with the Gerson Institute for 18 years until 1996, when the Gerson Institute chose to pursue other options. In spite of Dr Max Gerson’s endorsement of vaccine-based immuno-therapies, the Gerson Institute was unsupportive; with its departure, CHIPSA and the Gerson Research Organization (GRO) moved immediately to follow Dr Gerson’s suggestion to integrate diet therapy with the Coley Fluid.
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Josef Issels joined with CHIPSA and GRO to establish a methodology for integrative immunotherapy focusing on cancer and other chronic, degenerative, inflammatory diseases. After Dr. Issels death in 1998, CHIPSA and GRO scientists continued to pursue this approach and do so today, incorporating new findings as they become available.
Our staff organizes educational lectures on immune enhancing lifestyle, broadcast worldwide, and in-hospital instructional activities for patients and their companions. Relatives and friends are encouraged to stay with their loved ones for spiritual support in our ‘companion stay’ facilities.
CHIPSA holds registration in Mexico to provide the official Gerson Therapy for treating human illness. (Reg. 512646)

The first 2 patients interviewed in “Cancer Survivors USA” (http://www.vimeo.com/15289257) were cured of lung- and abdomen-metastasized melanomas with Coley Fluid and Gerson’s diet. Last week, we located a 3rd lung-and-gut-metastasized melanoma survivor, also cured by Coley Fluid and Gerson’s diet. Sharon is out 15 years, Patricia is out 11 years, and Rick is out 11 years.
This year alone, we have 2 new lung-metastasized melanoma patients who have become disease-free with Coley Fluid and Gerson’s diet.

Between 1996 and 2000, CHIPSA’s team cured 3 lung-abdomen-metastasized melanoma patients. Sharon (15 years out) and Patricia (11 years) are here: http://www.vimeo.com/15289257. We just reconnected with Rick (11 years).
Yesterday visited George S in Cypress CA who had bilateral lung melanoma metastases. He is 65, tumor-free, doing full workouts 2 x weekly. Treatment in early 2011 was Gerson, Coley, and Temodar.
Some chemotherapy drugs may activate antitumor immunities by causing messy cell death and release of antigenic danger signals. If this is true, it is likely that these drugs have been misused since their introduction.
Prof Silvia Formenti of NYU has demonstrated that GM-CSF administered with radiation can predictably lead to the abscopal effect, i.e., shrinkage or reduction of PET SUV in nonirradiated tumors. She calls the approach “vaccination in situ”, which is an application of the Danger Model of immunology. Brava Professor!
Dr Max Gerson’s Therapy is not complete without Coley Fluid.
The human immune response to Strep pyogenes, the dead microbe in Coley Fluid, can cure cancer. http://www.gerson-research.org
FDA blocked Coley Fluid research and development for 30 years, but the ban was lifted in July 2006!
If you are on Gerson Therapy and your tumors are growing, your immune system needs danger signals, and you need Coley Fluid. #http://www.mbvax.com

Gerson diet calms angry commensal microbes like S pyogenes and clears biofilm.
FDA is blocking “compassionate use” applications of doctors wanting to treat cancer patients with Coley Fluid. Boo! Shame!!!#http://tinyurl.com/83gyxgw

Fasting does not cure cancer, but it does protect normal cells against chemo toxicity.
Overfeeding calories and protein per se lowers anticancer immunities. It is yours to lose.
Dean Ornish says “Holy Cow”, and he is right. Red-meat eaters are digging their own graves, the data don’t lie.
According to Matzinger, the best definition of “the immune system” is “every tissue in the body”.
Bailey is 1 year free from melanoma! Congratulations, kid!!

For the first 20 years treating cancer with his diet therapy, Max Gerson MD prescribed orange juice, grapefruit juice, and grape juice; he prescribed carrot juice for only the last decade of his life #http://tinyurl.com/7sk67yl
IPT delivers low-dose/low-toxicity chemo directly into cancer cells, destroying them in a messy death that alerts tissue and circulating immune cells to “danger”, starting an immune response that can clear tumors.
