From Ashley, on the Cancer-Info.com message board in July 2006:
Hi- I just went to Dr. Issels with my fiance who has stage 3 non-hodgkins lymphoma. He has been to the best of the best doctors (M.D.'s) and no one impressed him like Dr. Issels. I was able to sit through the first meeting and was amazed at what he was able to identify. My fiance decided to let Dr. Issels treat him for the next year- and no one else. I can't tell you that he is cured, at least not yet, but I will say that once you have met with Dr. Issels and understand the way he treats his patients it all makes sense. I encourage a meeting. And btw- after spending a couple hundred thousand dollars out of pocket above and beyond insurance Dr. Issels' costs are nominal! We were shocked and delighted! I hope this helps. Good Luck! [source]

From the The Cancer Survivors Network discussion board in October 2004:
Hello...I know it has been months since you posted this message, but i just joined. My grandpa went to Oasis of Hope and received the Issels treatment and that is what saved his life. He had fast moving bone cancer, his doctor gave him 6 months to live on chemo, and three weeks to live without it. We found the issels treatment and Oasis of Hope online. We read the information and the treatment and then we contacted them. YOu have to send them your medical records and after they review them they let you know if they believe they can help you. You are welcome to come no matter what but they will tell you straight up if they do not think they will be able to make a difference. My grandpa is a doctor himself...an anesthesiologist...he was skeptical at first, but after reading all the materials he believed it to be medically sound. It is in Mexico, and it is expensive, but it worked. My grandfather has been cancer free for two years to the astonishment of his Dr. here in the U.S. It took effort, a lifestyle change, but he is here with us strong and healthy as ever. IF you go to www.issels.com (I believe that is correct) you can review the treatment and the success stories. God Bless. [source]
