Functional Oncology Team
Functional Oncology Alternative Cancer Treatment

Functional Physician
Trained to improve patient outcomes through prevention, early assessment and comprehensive management of complex chronic disease, your core functional team leader accomplishes this by identifying and healing the underlying clinical imbalances of chronic disease while creating momentum towards health. Your functional physician will be the primary channel through which all medical information will flow, and will lead the effort to integrate the information provided by the rest of the functional team specialists.

Clinical Nutritionist
Functional Oncology Team
Not all diets are right for everyone, which is why we often treat patients that have a healthy diet yet developed cancer and patients that are following a one-size-fits-all cancer diet yet are badly malnourished.
Let’s start by explaining that in the presence of disease everything changes when it comes to nutrition. Our clinical nutritionist at Angeles Hospital Tijuana, is an expert in the relationship between food and a healthy body. More specifically, he understands the science of nutrients and how they are digested, absorbed, transported, metabolized, stored and eliminated by the body. Besides studying how food works in your body, he will focus in how the environment affects the quality and safety of foods you eat, and what influence these factors have on your health and your illness.
Our nutritionist is trained to know every patient’s nutritional needs under the stressful condition of chronic illness. Nutrition is the essence of our treatment, making it the first line of therapy: Food as medicine.
To do this, our nutritionist perform a clinical assessment allowing him to tailor a specific-to-your-needs organic whole-foods diet.

Patient Testimonial
Cancer Survivor – Raymond Demyen
Sherlyn Nocwiki is a 52-year-old cancer free patient from Canada, that was diagnosed with breast cancer before getting a 12 day treatment with us. She shares how the moment she was diagnosed with cancer was the most frightening moment of her life and after she researched all the negative the side-effect from traditional cancer treatments and their secondary effects the fear only grew and became more real.
Sheryl like most patients, had many treatment options and along with her primary care doctor from Canada who helped her go through the process of deciding, they talked with Dr. Perez for about six hours to decide.
Sheryl explains how before arriving with us, she visited another cancer clinic in Tijuana but her experience was bad and their premises made her feel very uncomfortable, completely the opposite of how she felt when she walked in to Angeles Hospital where the premises are up to US standards and the staff made her feel right at home. She gets emotional when talking about how good the personalized attention of Dr. Perez and the entire medical team was.
