I think you will find that this clinic is not well reviewed. Lots of glossy marketing and allegedly positive patient stories but some suggestions of conflicts of interest (selling their own diet products) and no real clinical evidence that their approach delivers positive outcomes. Worth researching before you part with cash.

I briefly looked at this, it looks interesting. Don't know their success rate, don't know how many can afford to go to Turkey, the cost may be a issue. Traveling in general does not seem to be as safe as it used to be, don't know about Turkey and the virus. It is always good to hear about the latest clinics, thank you for sharing.

I emailed them my mom’s results and they got back to me. They will arrange a phone call next week to provide all the information.

Thank you Sandra, I will. They actually posted documented evidence with images,pet scans,mri on their website. There are cases of 2 young ladies with stage 4 breast cancer and metastases to almost all organs. They got back to me after 2 months. They have a lot of patients from Europe and US. I will do more research and ask questions. 🙏

There are many similar places throughout the US, Mexico, Europe, and other countries. Unless they can provide independently-reviewed statistics showing superiority of outcomes, it would be dubious to pursue further.

Seconding girlsptz. (Girl's sports?) She knows her stuff, follows the research, and has a good mind. At the same time that I was initially diagnosed with breast cancer, a colleague and neighbor of mine was, also. As fast as I could, I had surgery, get that thing out before it spreads! Radiation, light chemo, anastrazole for five years. The whole time, she and I were talking walks. She used essential oils, oxygen therapy, and some red drink from China. She brought me a bottle and the brochures that claimed success. I was astonished that she fell for this. We are social scientists; supposedly we can recognize evidence and distinguish it from hype. There were just anecdotes, and complaints about lack of funding to do a full trial because it was non-traditional. Too much promotion. She kept telling me I was wrong, and I kept telling her that everyone I knew who used alternative medicine (not as a supplement, but as the only treatment) is dead. We had to agree not to talk about it, to stop telling the other she would die.

Ten years later I ran into her husband who said she is dying, mets everywhere. He said I was lucky; most people with breast cancer die. I said, no, most live, complete cure, as I seemed to have. Then it turns out I have mbc! Not so lucky. I ran into her at the hospital, on a walker; she was getting palliative care because her tumor had broken through her skin. She is suggesting I get free aides, home food delivery. No, I am shopping, cooking, playing tennis, and do not qualify for anything. Not now anyway. The traditional medicine has side effects but it works. She is dying; I am not. That apparently won't be true forever (the woman who often posts here has gone 17 years is the exception by a lot), but I have had 15 years of health and function, as she has sought unsuccessful alternative treatments and suffered.

If you want to try it, do, but look for real data (photos and stories of two people are not data), and use evidence-based treatment also.
