Dr. Francisco Contreras, director, president and chairman of the Oasis of Hope Health Group, which has offices in Mexico and California. Dr. Contreras says there is no "silver bullet" cure for cancer but that many patients learn to manage their disease and add years, sometimes decades, to their lives.

Daniel Kennedy, chief executive officer of Oasis of Hope Health Group. Kennedy has a master's degree in counseling and has overseen counseling at Oasis of Hope since 1993. He is the co-author, with Dr. Francisco Contreras, of "Hope, Medicine & Healing."

Oasis of Hope Health Group is pioneering a new course of treatment called the Contreras metabolic integrative therapy (CMIT). When combined with chemotherapy, CMIT resulted in a 75 percent survival rate after five years for patients with advanced, metastatic breast cancer who came to the hospital for their first course of treatment. That compares to a 20 percent survival rate for patients receiving conventional treatment in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute's 2007 statistics. Oasis of Hope has also found that even patients with a genetic predisposition toward developing cancer can often prevent it by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Oasis of Hope Hospital was founded by the late Dr. Ernesto Contreras Sr. in 1963 in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico
