Former patient

"There’s a doctor present at the clinic around the clock, and I found the Mexican MD’s very professional and much more personable than the ones I was used to north of the border. Some had had 25 years experience with alternative methods in addition to their normal medical training. I was surprised to find them sitting down with me in my room twice each day getting to know my specific needs and willing to answer any questions I
might have. Amazing…

The dining room by the pool was gathering place for what quickly felt like “family” and almost everyone commented sooner or later that they could share things here they couldn’t at home. We laughed a lot. The food seemed endlessly varied in spite of fitting within specific guidelines and was fresh, pure and beautiful to behold, the kitchen was filled with the tinkling laughter of the ladies who served us.

I think what surprised me most about my stay at the clinic was the level of joy there. I would have expected it to be more serious and heavy, what with people coming there to be healed of “serious” illnesses. Yet there was optimism in the air. Even the most challenged patient seemed happy after a few days in that atmosphere. And the staff – the doctors, nurses, cooks,
gardeners, managers and maids -- also seemed happy, just to be doing exactly what they were doing. I marveled at the young Mexican ladies in the kitchen. Hourly juices were served with the sweetest smiles ALWAYS. There was a care
and concern that was genuine.

The only way I could explain it was that people who staffed that clinic knew they were helping people to help themselves, and they knew they were doing something worthwhile. The patients seemed to feel empowered, as if they were being given back charge of their own destinies -- a sense quickly lost in the world of established medicine. It was a nice feeling, and it caught on all around. The time flew by, and now I’m making my own juices at home and remembering those smiles that came with each juice there… and the dear new friends who are making their own juices now in so many places in the world…"
