Diagnosis Neurological Lyme Disease

Prior Treatment to CMN Biological therapy

It has been exactly a year since I received treatment at CMN Hospital. As such, I feel that my review serves as a solid reference for those seeking a treatment facility. Instead of rushing to write it immediately, I wanted to take the time to provide an honest assessment of this establishment.

Upon arriving in Mexico, the process was seamless. A CMN representative greeted me right outside the Yuma terminal in a clean, brand-new vehicle. Fluent in both Spanish and English, she made the journey to the hospital effortless. Crossing the border was a breeze thanks to their fast access pass exclusively for patients.

CMN, located in a small and charming town, immediately captured my heart with its serene and tranquil surroundings. The facility itself had a cozy outdoor patio where patients could relax during their stay. As I made my way upstairs, I found myself in a dedicated wing for patients like me, offering seclusion and utmost comfort. My private suite had  a personal TV, AC unit, and a fully equipped bathroom, making it a quiet, clean, and comfortable sanctuary.

The CMN staff warmly greeted me, showing kindness and compassion throughout my entire stay. Fluent in both English and Spanish, they effectively communicated every aspect of my treatment and patiently addressed any questions or concerns I had.

The first week presented some challenges. I harbored doubts and found it difficult to be in the right frame of mind. After years of battling an illness, I had become bitter and felt that hope was dwindling. Moreover, as the treatment commenced, I experienced flare-ups, migraines, and general malaise. However, I understood that these were signs of my body responding to the treatment, so I practiced patience. The staff did everything possible to ensure my comfort during this time, offering round-the-clock support.

Moving into the second week, I began to feel a significant improvement. My energy levels increased, and I actively participated in group therapy and individual sessions to address my mental well-being. CMN's holistic approach emphasizes the healing of the mind, body, and soul.

The daily routine, starting at 7 am and lasting until 8 or 9 pm, left no room for breaks. This dedication to healing resonated with me as it aligned with the purpose of being there. The meals were exceptional, freshly prepared daily, and tailored to individual preferences while maintaining a focus on healthy eating. I truly felt like I was at a 5-star resort, both in terms of treatment and nourishment.

During my downtime, I would frequent the community room, which offered a comfortable couch, art therapy, yoga, a small exercise section, and a television. Some days, I would immerse myself in painting, while other days I would practice yoga or ride the stationary bicycle.

Throughout the weekdays, I had the privilege of being visited by Dr. Payan, a compassionate and dedicated individual. He patiently explained the next steps in my treatment, answered my questions, interpreted lab results, and was open to conducting additional tests to alleviate any doubts. On weekends and during the night, Dr. Garcia attended to my needs with equal care and expertise.

Having a holistic and natural approach to healing, I appreciated how CMN respected my practices. Once, I woke up with an excruciating migraine, and despite my preference for holistic remedies, the pain became unbearable. The nurse promptly entered my room and offered painkillers. I explained my preference but agreed to a minimal dosage considering the severity of the pain. The nurse had no issue accommodating my request and administered the medicine intravenously.

I sought treatment at CMN Hospital for neurological Lyme Disease after trying various protocols, herbs, and Western medicine options. While some treatments provided temporary relief, the disease always found its way back into my life after a few weeks. I had spent a considerable amount of money chasing a cure, hope, and wellness. In retrospect, I wish I had made the decision to go to CMN sooner. Over a year has passed since then, and I have not experienced any flare-ups. Perhaps I am in remission, or perhaps I achieved exactly what I set out to do - rid myself of the dis-ease and truly heal. CMN Hospital played an integral role in this journey, as every treatment proved beneficial and their gentle, kind approach worked wonders.

While at CMN, the number of patients never exceeded eight. I had the opportunity to meet an incredible woman from the Netherlands who was fighting cancer, as well as two other women from the United States in similar battles.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the amazing staff members who contributed to my healing journey. Raquel and Celia took care of cleaning, America and Rosa handled laundry, and Carmen, Elena, and Nadia worked tirelessly in the kitchen. Additionally, the nurse crew including Itzel, Karen, Marixa, Ishmel, Alma, Carlos, Erika, and Luis provided exceptional care.

Allow me to conclude this review with my favorite quote from the father of medicine, Hippocrates: "If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him."
