Overview
Immunity Therapy Center is a clinic at Blvd. Padre Kino 10133, Zona Urbana Rio Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, a short distance from the San Diego border crossing. Its site says the centre was opened in 2007 by Dr Carlos Bautista.
The clinic presents itself primarily as an alternative cancer treatment centre. Its own description of its approach is that its therapies are “natural, effective, alternative cancer treatment options” that are “non-invasive, or less invasive than conventional treatments such as chemo and radiation”. These are the clinic’s words, not an assessment by this directory.
Stem cell therapy sits alongside that cancer work as a separate programme, and is also offered for autoimmune, degenerative, joint, cardiac, digestive, liver and neurological conditions.
Most of the therapies listed below fall outside mainstream oncology and are not standard cancer care. Anyone considering treatment here should discuss it with the doctor managing their care.
