Biography

Dr. Contreras is the General Director of the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Baja California, Mexico, where he actively oversees more than six hundred patients with cancer each year. His exceptional work as a physician, clinical researcher and health educator has earned him recognition as an authority on conventional and alternative cancer therapies and health issues.

Dr. Contreras and his staff treat people, not cancer. The basic philosophy is to treat the patient as a whole person, not as a tumor or growth that must be destroyed. He emphasizes the importance of simple but proven factors that undergird healing and good health:

• Nutrition is the chief ally of health
• Vitamins & minerals maintain the chemical world of our bodies
• Exercise reduces chemical stress, improves mental agility & memory, rehabilitates disturbances of the nervous system, aids digestion, increases circulation & strengthens the immune system
• A good living environment free of toxins, allergens, physical & emotional danger is a must

Dr. Contreras also addresses the spiritual needs of his patients and emphasizes the impact that prayer, faith & trust in God has on health. Each person has a body, soul & spirit and disease can be rooted in any or all of these three realms. He and his father, Dr. Ernesto Contreras have designed therapies that minister to the whole person.

• Managing spiritual, physical & emotional stress helps our immune system
• Positive attitudes improve health, what we think in our hearts our body follows, so what we feel, think & believe can determine our health.
• The most powerful weapon against cancer is love, because humans need love to live.
