This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I went to Hope 4 Cancer in February of 2016 with metatastic ovarian cancer. I was quoted $30, 000 for a two week stay including reghvir, PCN-27 and various vitamin infusions. For an additional $15, 000 I could get another week, which was, of course recommended. The receptionist Pam, who had been so friendly before I arrived became downright impatient and rude once I arrived. After two weeks of treatment, I was told I needed to spend another $18, 000 for medication to take home, that I wouldn't know whether the treatment was working for another 3 months. Bottom line is, when I got home tumor markers rising steadily, no improvement whatsoever, and I am $60, 000 poorer. Shame on Dr. Jimenez and all the phony money-grubbing staff there.

ElizabethD, I appreciate your review because my husband and I are in the very same position right now. He has stage 4 cancer in his lymph nodes, lung and liver...we feel like we have to try anything and my husband is intrigued by Hope 4 Cancer's claims. I notice that your comment was written just recently and I am so sad to hear that you are suffering the way my husband is, I was hoping you might be able to give us some more detail or even contact us direct. He is literally wanting to head there this week! We will keep you and your family in our prayers!

my sister in law went there. it didn't help at all. they did a testimonial video of her and put it on their website. it was all a lie because she still had cancer and died a year after being in their treatment. their treatment sounds wonderful but i know first hand that it DOES NOT WORK. she did absolutely everything they told her to do (which cost thousands upon thousands of dollars) and her cancer continued to spread as they lied to her and told her that she was improving.

i will provide more information including her testimonial video and her obituary if that will help you make your decision.

I returned from three weeks in Cancun in late June.

The TJ clinic is for more serious cases.

I was overwhelmed to tears the first day, but was greeting with hugs and a great staff.

I have stage 4 ovarian cancer…my second. It’s now on the lining of my lungs. It’s a tough one.

After three weeks of constant therapies and IV’s, six days a week, my lesions had shrank.

They sent me Home with a lot of supplements and B-17, sono machine, laser watch etc.

It’s stayed stable, but I feel like some of the therapies they have there are needed at home, too.

(Hyperbaric chamber and infared)

I cried when I had to leave because I truly love those people. They cared.

They constantly lied to my SIL about her tumors shrinking. All while "loving" her. I hope you get a second opinion in the US from a real doctor. By the time she did, it was too late. I hope your case is different.

I hope this helps your friend not waste her money but they are very good a brainwashing people.

This video was on Hope4Cancer's website but they took it down after I contacted them to tell them that she had died. I was surprised to find that the video is still available. Someone is still using this lie for their benefit.

https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/jacksonville-fl/brenda-thompson-11150486

I hope this is enough to convince her to not go. I saw this lie first-hand and its heartbreaking.

This is my Google review of the place.

My sister-in-law went here. She is even featured on their 'Patient Testimonials' page as a success story (Brenda Thompson). Unfortunately, she passed away a little over a year after that video was made. This place sounds wonderful if you watch her video but it doesn't work!

More false advertising on the Testimonials page...

Grant Pollard had been dead since 11-12-2020 but he still has success video on their website.

Also, still on the Testimonials page as a success story:

Ronell Harvey - gone since at least 10-20-2021.

Jack Dawson - passed away January 13, 2022.

Kenneth Lepp - passed away July 16, 2022.

Emily Bell - April 2, 2023

Be careful what you read on Instagram, Facebook, their website or any other social media that they can control. They remove comments and block anyone who leaves a negative comment.

If you or someone you love is considering going here, please go to YouTube and find a video titled "Hope4cancer's Crowdfunding Graveyard". The creater did extensive research on people who had a GoFundMe to raise money to go there. Unfortunately, most have died or their social media profiles have been deleted. There isn't a single GoFundMe where the patient has reported back that they are cancer free after going to this place.

Update: Nice reply from H4C ... she was happy with her progress when the video was made because she was told that the tumor in her liver was "dead" which was not the case. Being told that just kept her coming back as her health continued to decline. Also, her "success" video was made when she STILL HAD CANCER but the video made it seem as though she was cured. Very misleading but great advertising when it appears that a woman who had stage 4 cancer has been cured with no conventional treatment. Unfortunately, Brenda desperately wanted conventional treatment near the end of her life but it was too late.

The false hope sold here is very expensive. They tell people what they want to hear just to keep them coming back. For Brenda it was always "you are making progress but there is still more work to do so come back in 3 months". In truth, nothing was getting better. Unfortunately this place teaches a distrust in modern medicine so she never asked for a second opinion from a real doctor until it was too late.

All the money and effort spent doing coffee enemas, vitamin C IVs, vitamin B17 injections, light therapy, heat therapy, alkaline diet, etc did absolutely nothing for her. Honestly, how anyone can believe that any of those things can cure cancer is incredibly naive. But if you do believe it, just keep giving them your money until you can't anymore.

All testimonial videos that I mentioned above have now been removed. Oh, and the food pictures from all of the positive reviews that were submitted after I originally posted this review in February look absolutely amazing, like you can't get food just as good from a local restaurant!

Do not do it! its A SCAM, IN MY opinion and gave my wife false diagnosis of her X-rays, it is a money machine that’s it! Your free bible below they give you, and in my opinion if you go there, you will need it. They also make you and a guest or husband, or mate sign non-circumvention, hum why, also We stayed at a nice hotel across the street but paid tons of money, for allot of time loss for my wife life, Trust me when I tell you, I am getting to the bottom of all the history and people involved in this place. And it is very true, after paying thousands of dollars in advance, on the way out, after 3 weeks they hit us with a bunch of supplements for just about $5000 more. My wife requested to see Dr. Tony because that was all part of the trip, It just so happens he was coming the day after we were booked to leave, my wife was even willing to pay more to stay another week and they told her no, the reason was because she caught them all most giving her the wrong treatment’s and several other things, they bruised her arms terribly and I'M NOT SO SURE their nursers are all qualified, and the women that take your money are all like car salesmen, Nice for a while then nasty or do not want to deal with you once they have it. We have friends we met they’re that are worse, as my wife is very bad now also. They themselves, have said it was a waste of money as other we met have also. I am doing a docuseries on this place and others, as I do Investigate shows, all up on major platforms to help people not waste their money and expose bull crap. If it has worked for you great, but I'm sure it depends on your stage and mind set, but my experience was not a good one to witness for my wife, and as I said my opinion is it's a cash cow! Oh ye we were in the cancun mexico branch.

Many of those 'testimonies' are from people who still have cancer. My sister in law was one of them. She died after a year of their treatment and of course, thousands upon thousands of dollars later. Its nothing but a scam and they suck you in with their idealistic treatment and mantras. 'Build up the immune system rather than tear it down'. 'You cant cut, poison, or burn your way to good health'. It all sounds so good but it doesn't work.

Thank you for your comments regarding hope4cancer. My husband is dealing with non Hodgkin lymp stage 4 and after unsuccessful results after 2 years under our medical care and plan that was switched to LA Care from Blue Shield that plan will only cover 1 more series of treatment. A treatment we were told he will be blasted by poison.

We are, mid-stream, stalling, moving back to Blue Shield and to their assigned hospital until we can raise the cost to get treatment at h4c. Our personal fundraising and gofundme are moving but no

I'm sorry for your outcomes. Praying for a better when we go and praying for you and your families. I will post my outcome and I hope it will be a testimony!

Thank you for your posting. I'm researching going to Hope4cancer for my husband who has stage 4 prostate cancer. Were you able to take your husband to H4C? Can you share your experience? My prayers are with you and your husband.

Top Doctors in the US told me that I was terminal. After going to the clinic in Cancun, I have been in total remission for over 5 years.

I have known more people who are dead now from chemo than from Hope4Cancer
