Mexico has long been a Mecca for people seeking alternatives to traditional medicine. In Mexico, ethical physicians have treatment options not currently possible in the United States. Europe has a similar philosophy. The International Spinal Cord Regeneration Center is fortunate to have Dr. Fernando C. Ramirez del Rio as the Medical Director, who was an Associate of one of the finest medical minds of the 20th Century, Dr. Wolfram W. Kuhnau.

For years people have been coming to Tijuana for cancer treatments. There is a reason for this. Physicians are using therapies developed in Europe to treat their patients. We do not practice "alternative" medicine but rather "proper" medicine, since there is no alternative to proper medicine. Proper medicine is the ethical application of safe and effective technologies to the healing arts. All of the surgical procedures, however, when utilized on behalf of a patient, are both conservative and traditional, and meet all accepted treatment protocols utilized by Western medicine.

The location of the Center is very convenient for the patient. Being in a "foreign" country we are aware of the apprehensions people have who contemplate coming for treatment. Our Center is less than 500 yards from the International Border at San Ysidro, California, or approximately a one minute drive after crossing the border if coming by car. It is also within easy walking distance. If you desire, we will help you arrange lodging and transportation during your stay. The Allen W. Lloyd Medical Building is easily visible and identifiable after crossing the border on foot or wheelchair.

Welcome to the future! Embryonic Cell Transplant Therapy is no longer a dream but a reality. Embryonic Cell Transplant Therapy was pioneered by Dr. Paul Niehans in Switzerland. Dr. Wolfram Kühnau, friend and disciple of Dr. Niehans, continued his work in Embryonic Cell Transplant Therapy. Today, Dr. Fernando Ramirez del Rio continues to pioneer this breakthrough procedure. Dr. Ramirez is the Medical Director of the International Spinal Cord Regeneration Center, which specializes in spinal cord regeneration. Our Chief Neurosurgeon is Dr. Carlos Romero Gaitan.
