Providing Quality Medical Care in Mexico

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Untagged

At Health Travel Guides, we love hearing from our patients. Below is just one example of the kind of feedback we’ve been hearing from patients who are satisfied with their medical travel experience.

Shaun W. of Oregon “Talk about feeling first class!”

With Health Travel Guides there was great communication from the beginning - they gave me immediate piece of mind. There were actually 3 specialists involved in my treatment, they were professional and kept me informed the entire time. They only had one week to perform some major work which made for an aggressive schedule all of which they performed with precision and empathy. The entire approach was so wonderfully different from my past dental experiences in that they addressed the root cause of the issues and corrected them; what a welcome change! I left confident with the procedures performed and a game plan for the future as well.

What kind of shape is your smile in?
Dental Travel Guides can provide a free dental consultation with cleaning, X-rays and treatment plan to get you started, and features rates up to 70% less than those found in the U.S.

Health Travel Guides connects employers and individuals with top international health care options. Those in need of serious medical treatment benefit by traveling abroad for their healthcare.

· Options: Work with state-of-the-art hospitals and globally renowned surgeons.

· Availability of progressive treatment: access breakthrough procedures common around the world but not yet available in the U.S. due to FDA hold-ups, including lumbar stabilization for chronic back pain, CCSVI testing and treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, stem cell therapy for COPD, and the new minimally invasive gastric plication procedure for weight loss.

· Significant savings on elective treatments: our ADA-certified dentists and board-certified cosmetic and bariatric (weight loss) surgeons regularly treat U.S. patients looking for personalized service at a fair price.

· Whole-patient view: other countries have started to realize that treating the person as a whole, and not just treating a symptom or condition, can have many positive health benefits. The Integrative Medicine program at Hospital Angeles Tijuana is just one example of a new way of looking at cancer treatment.

Do You Suffer from ‘Can’t-afford-the-co-pay-itis’?

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Untagged

A satisfied patient describes her Mexican dental experience
When I was growing up I was often told that I had great teeth. But like many young people, I took my teeth for granted. When I was 16 I was cheering through a megaphone which accidentally hit my top front tooth resulting in a large, noticeable chip. Health tourism, medical tourism

I went to the dentist, who made my teeth look great again. But the crown was larger in the back than my normal tooth, and I would absent mindedly grind my bottom incisor against it, so over time it began to file down. This was the beginning of my dental problems.

As an adult I rarely went to the dentist, only visiting when I was in pain. At one point, my teeth had gotten so bad that I needed 8 root canals and crowns. My dentist knew I couldn’t afford the crowns, but he went ahead with the root canals anyway. Health tourism, medical tourism

What Exactly Is Functional Medicine, Anyway?

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Untagged

Functional Medicine is a dynamic approach to assessing, treating, and preventing chronic disease systems. Functional Medicine is an allopathic approach to healing – that is, the practice of identifying and improving dysfunctions in the physiology and biochemistry of the human body that go beyond the disease specifics, as a primary method of improving patient health.

Each patient therefore represents a unique complex and interwoven set of influences, intrinsic functionality that has set the stage for the development of disease as well as the maintenance and restoration of health.

Truckers, BMI and Sleep Apnea: Recipe for Restrictive Weight Loss Surgery?

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Untagged

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Medical Review Board has formally recommended that all drivers with a body mass index of 30 or greater be tested for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs most often when throat muscles relax during sleep, which momentarily prevents oxygen from traveling to the lungs. The connection between BMI and sleep apnea is well-established, and the potential dangers that sleep apnea poses to over-the-road truckers is too serious to ignore.

It is possible for people to suffer symptoms of sleep apnea and be unaware that they are actually suffering from the condition. BMI is an objective measure whose high correlation to the condition of sleep apnea allows the FMCSA to identify truckers who at risk for sleep apnea.

A Healthier Approach to Treating Cancer

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Untagged

Most of us have been affected by cancer in some way. We’ve seen family or friends affected, or maybe even dealt with our own illness. When a serious health issue like cancer arises, what are your options?

In the U.S., traditional cancer treatment generally includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and biological therapy. While these can be effective in treating the cancer, these methods can also damage healthy cells and tissues, causing side effects, and leaving many patients to worry that the side effects of treatment are worse than the disease.

A Cure for Multiple Sclerosis, MS ?

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Mexico Medical Tourism , Mexico Health tourism , Medical Tourism , Health Tourism , Boomers health

A Cure for Multiple Sclerosis, MS ?

Anyone who follows news in the world of multiple sclerosis knows that a new type of treatment – a surprisingly simple treatment – pioneered by Italian physician Dr. Paolo Zamboni is getting very dramatic results. Dr. Zamboni’s initial study of 65 people with relapsing-remitting MS resulted in a total cessation of MS symptoms within two years for 3 out of 4 patients. The treatment is a simple procedure to unblock restricted bloodflow out of the brain. These study results are doing no less than completely overturning the current understanding of MS; far from being the lifetime sentence of unstoppable nerve degeneration it has long been considered to be, it may be that we are looking at evidence of the promise of a complete cure.

Lose the Weight for Good - Gastric Sleeve Plication

Posted by Health Travel Guides in Tijuana , San Diego , medical travel , Medical Tourism , Health travel , Health Tourism , Gastric Sleeve Plication

If you are one of millions of people struggling with your weight, you may have spent time researching weight loss surgery options. But there is a new weight loss surgery option you may not have heard of yet- Gastric Sleeve Plication.

Gastric Sleeve Plication is an evolution of the traditional Gastric Sleeve, offering patients a less invasive surgery with no device implants – and therefore fewer complication risks - as well as no necessary follow-up care such as fills and adjustment needed with adjustable gastric banding. In addition, weight loss outcomes are more immediate and dramatic relative to gastric band.

Gastric sleeve plication is currently performed only at two North American centers for bariatric excellence- in the U.S. (in clinical trial conditions only), and at Health Travel Guides featured provider Hospital Angeles Tijuana, located just 15 minutes from the San Diego U.S. border.

Boomers Abroad

BoomersAbroad.com was born in direct response to hundreds of conversations with baby boomers from the USA and Canada who were seeking a new life, and to better understand how they might live abroad, travel abroad, relocate abroad, retire abroad and/or invest abroad. Leading industry experts and many of those who have journeyed ahead will share their personal experiences and knowledge in a great variety of areas.

Boomers Living Abroad

The number of Americans and Canadians living abroad, by today's count approximately 7 million (according to The Washington Post), is twice the population of Chicago and greater than that of 33 U.S. States. A number that has grown steadily over the past decade, and it is expected to more than double within ten years. In the next 20 years, 100 million baby boomers, from the USA and Canada, are going to retire. Five million baby boomers turn age 60 each year, Ten Thousand per day, Eight per minute, and scores of them are purchasing property abroad as vacation homes or investment homes. Naturally, many of them are auditioning these homes for potential primary retirement residences.

Boomers Abroad Online Community

At BoomersAbroad.com online community members can ask experts their questions, create their own profiles, join groups of those who share their particular interests, create their own groups, make friends, upload photos, and have their own blogs, among other features. Using the online community model, our goal is to provide the necessary information, education, guidance, resources, tools and alternatives to start boomers down the path of discovering and understanding all that living, retiring and investing abroad has to offer.
