Alternative Cancer Spa Treatments Show Promise

For most of us a cancer diagnosis conjures up images of sterile white hallways, doctors’ long faces, bouts of constant pain, and hours of uninterrupted bed rest. In the past “alternative” treatments for something as large and daunting as cancer were akin to voodoo practices, as varied and unpredictably bogus as going to a palm reader in a strip mall. Now a new practice of healing the cancer patient—not just the tumors—is gaining popularity, although it has been around for almost 25 years.

Bryomixol is an integrative treatment of cancer through a natural product line that is oftentimes used in conjunction with traditional Western methods in order to ensure the stability and well-being of the patient. Developed in Germany decades ago, the formula behind what is now Bryomixol has been used extensively throughout Germany as a natural preventative tool for cancer and other maladies.

The formula was transformed into Bryomixol in Central America by Dr. Cesar E. Bertacchini, the current owner and president of the company that finds and manufactures the non-toxic substances that are distributed to his patients. Bertacchini has been using Bryomixol protocols for over twenty years.

Dr. Fernando Basail, a board certified doctor practicing in the United States, left his full-time medical roots to join Dr. Bertacchini’s cause in El Salvador in order to help members of his own family fight cancer. Although the program takes place outside the United States, all of the equipment and techniques are completely modernized. The treatment is considered holistic but it does not abandon the safety procedures and structure found in conventional medicine.

The herbs and formulas mixed with mineral content are not to be confused with popular over-the-counter supplements. The Bryomixol treatment uses non-toxic and all-natural substances from all over the world in order to help the immune system fight off cancer cells. When cancer settles in your body it disables Natural Killer (NK) cells which are responsible for the fight from your immune system. The blend of natural components is put into the body to reactivate NK cells by re-stimulating the immune system. Essentially, Bryomixol is teaching the body to fight against the cancer by waking up its sleeping soldiers.

The program—as the staff calls it—is more than concentrated herbs. The most important part of the program is to learn about the patient as a whole. Healing with Bryomixol also takes place outside the hospital. Staff members and 24-hour assistants (if necessary) encourage trips to the ocean and outdoor activities like hiking the nearby volcano or merely just sitting outside to absorb the electromagnetic activity of the earth and taking in the serenity of the scenery.

Stressing the individuality of the treatment, the doctors consult with each patient to figure out the best course of action. Dr. Basail stresses that each person’s treatment is different because every person’s cancer is different. Affliction not only affects the body, but the mind and the soul as well. If the doctors are able to pin down just what the patient’s fears and emotions are at any stage of the disease, they are able to better exact the best path to walk them down.

Personal time is important for the specialists because they have all had someone close to them affected by cancer. Every day of the usual ten, the doctor sits with the patient for two and a half hours of treatments, instead of most doctors’ usual pattern of jumping from patient to patient as participating in a relay race.

The feel-better approach to medicine uses psychiatric consults as well as comfortable spa environments in order to calm the patient and get to the root of their emotional pain as well as physical pain. Similar to Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines, a treatment of all three components: mind, body, and soul is integral to its success. With close to an 80 percent success rate for patients being cancer-free for at least five years, Dr. Basail considers that incredible because most of the patients treated turn to Bryomixol because they have exhausted all other options.

Dr. Basail says that five countries in South America have already approved the process—which is comparable our Federal Drug Administration (FDA)—and Bryomixol is close to getting FDA approval in the United States. Although a treatment center in the United States may make people feel more at ease and be better financially, the El Salvador clinic seems to give people the feel of a vacation rather than a medical trip.

By “treating the patient not the tumor” Bryomixol prides itself on its personal treatment and respect. One patient, a young woman working as a nurse in America, recently went through breast cancer treatment and brought her husband and kids along with her to South America. After the “opportunity fell in my lap,” she continued to say the treatment center became another home throughout the ten-day program, “I met some of my best friends there. I’ve become part of their family and I call them my second family. The professionalism I experienced [in El Salvador] compared to what you get in the States doesn’t compare. I didn’t once feel like a number.”

It is important to remember that Bryomixol is an integrative process meaning that it can be used alongside the traditional radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery but it can also stand alone because of its miraculous way of using the body’s own immune system to heal itself.
