Every week, a southward migration of people crosses the US-Mexican border near Tijuana. The travellers aren’t heading for the bright lights of the city for entertainment or shopping for trinkets. They are making a pilgrimage to a state-of-the-art health clinic and seeking relief from illnesses that many other doctors have deemed incurable.

The people are heading to see Dr. Isai Castillo and his medical staff at the modern IMAQ clinic where patients are offered advanced natural therapies and outpatient treatment to treat a plethora of diseases and illnesses related to the nervous, circulatory, skeletal, and endocrine systems.

Dr. Castillo is well versed in both mainstream and natural health fields and offers his patients the latest treatments available. With 25 years of experience as a medical practitioner, Dr. Castillo has become a leading proponent of alternative medical therapies, which includes taking a metabolic approach to treating cancer, diabetes, and other serious, often life-threatening diseases. This style of treatment cleanses the body and rebuilds a patient’s immune system with an array of nutritional and immune-support products administered through intravenous (IV). Dr. Castillo maintains, “It is extremely important to get the body in the best possible condition so it has the strength to fight the disease.”

Dr. Castillo is joined by a dedicated team of professionals including Drs. Rubio and Fraire, as well as dentist Dr. Navarro. In addition, the IMAQ clinic possesses a medical roster that includes nurses and lab and X-ray technicians. The X-ray and laboratory departments contain the latest in high-tech equipment and the clinic’s pharmacy is well-stocked to ensure that patients aren’t required to waste time tracking down medications.

Inside the Clinic

While the patients are receiving their intravenous treatments, they are able to watch TV, listen to music, socialize with other patients, or relax and observe the goings on in the clinic’s aviary.
The IV treatment usually takes less than one hour and patients typically report that they begin to feel better after just three to five IV sessions. The patients are given these treatments over the course of three or four weeks in order to strengthen their bodies so that they are in the best possible condition to fight diseases. If the patients are in weakened or vulnerable states, it is difficult to stabilize their illnesses.

Dr. Castillo and staff monitor the patients’ progress to evaluate the degree of improvement. To augment the effectiveness of the IV treatment, Dr. Castillo and staff encourage patients to adopt healthy diets (adding vitamins, minerals, and herbs), begin manageable exercise regimens, and to take personal responsibility and proactive control of their health problems and not feel like helpless victims.

After the series of treatments are concluded, patients are seen periodically for post-treatment evaluation to make sure they are following instructions, maintaining their supplemented diets, and are feeling healthy. Many patients return yearly for more IV sessions to cleanse and rebuild their immune systems.

Dr. Castillo, on his website, writes, “I am truly blessed by having the opportunity of having one foot on regular traditional medicine and my other foot on alternative medicine.” Judging from the testimonials on his website and in magazines, it is Dr. Castillo’s patients who feel blessed to have him as their doctor.
