Research Fund
The HEART AND STROKE RESEARCH FUND directs its efforts and
resources towards supporting research programs, clinics, charities and
hospitals that have dual programs: 1. To educate the public about the
prevention and treatment of heart and stroke disease and, 2. To provide
therapies for the treatment and rehabilitation of heart disease and other
degenerative diseases. HSRF acquires and
ships humanitarian aid, medical supplies and equipment, as they become
available, to hospitals and clinics that treat heart disease and other
degenerative diseases.
The Oasis Heart Fund located in Tijuana, Mexico
receives grants and support from the HEART AND STROKE RESEARCH FUND to continue their research and help patients.
The Hospital offers support to patients based on a “Total Care” approach.
Developed by Dr. Contreras Sr., this method of treatment is designed to combat
heart disease, cancer and other degenerative diseases, while at the same time
improve the quality of life of the patient. The total care approach recognizes that
a whole person has physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Nutrition, spiritual
and psychological counseling, and an education program provide the foundation
for the medical treatment.
Through funds provided by the HEART AND STROKE RESEARCH FUND,
the Contreras group of doctors is able to continue ongoing programs of research
and patient treatment. The doctors treat the patient, not the disease. They
provide therapies that not only attack the heart disease, but will also equip
the patient’s immune system to fight against heart disease. A special
detoxification program creates the necessary environment for the body to get
the best benefits. Nutrition combined with non-toxic therapies rebuild the
patient’s natural defense mechanism which ultimately is the best system to
restore wellness.
At the Contreras Oasis Hospital, the doctors seek out the
most advanced, effective, and compassionate treatments available in the world
for the treatment of patients with heart disease and other degenerative
diseases. Their treatment programs are ongoing -- a take-home program is
designed according to each patient's unique needs and it is monitored on a
continuous basis. The programs at the Oasis Hospital are diverse and often
include mega-doses of vitamins, organic foods, antioxidants, hormone therapy,
neurological regenerating agents, and enzymes; all of which provide treatment
for the whole patient. The HEART AND STROKE RESEARCH FUND continues to search for ways to assist in
helping individuals with heart disease to be made aware of the research and
healing programs of the Oasis Hospital.
Oasis of Hope is excited to announce the opening of its
newest oncology medical center in Irvine, CA (roughly 45 minutes south of LA).
Oasis of Hope California is one of the world's leading institutions in the
research and cancer treatments with integrative therapies, combining the best
of conventional and natural cancer treatments. This unique treatment approach
includes: hyperbaric oxygen, vitamin-c therapy, chemotherapy, nutritional and
educational programs, and other complementary therapies.
Destiny Medical Fund is an independent, non-profit
organization in the Philippines. It receives grants and support from HSRF to
continue to provide hospitals, clinics and senior centers support, specifically
for the purpose of treating heart disease and other degenerative diseases.
Destiny Medical Fund programs provide medical assistance for hundreds of people
throughout the Philippines each year. An educational TV show, “Mind and Heart”
has been produced and is airing daily on Sky TV which covers all the region of
Cebu Island. Thousands are educated about prevention and early detection of
heart disease. Destiny Medical Fund works closely with another charity, the
Golden Center, to work on heart disease related projects with their over 2000
senior citizens. HSRF will endeavor to continue its efforts to help provide
valuable medical supplies to the medical facilities and clinics in this less
fortunate region of the world.
HEART AND STROKE FUND continues to support The
Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center. This great “research hospital” has assembled a
dedicated team of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists,
cardiac nurses and cardiac radiologists to provide leading cardiac care. The clinicians
are some of the world’s foremost experts in diagnosing, treating and preventing
heart disease. Each of the 11 condition-specific programs offers a team
approach to diagnosis and treatment that involves a multidisciplinary team of
physicians who specialize in a particular type of heart condition.
For more than 100 years, researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center have conducted groundbreaking research and clinical trials to diagnose, treat and prevent heart disease.
Part of the largest teaching hospital
of Harvard Medical School, the Heart Center trains residents, fellows
and current providers in innovative therapies every year.
International Relief Organizations such as Hope of Life
network with HSRF in providing medical supplies, equipment and humanitarian aid
to be used by those in need in hospitals and clinics throughout the world. The
hospitals and clinics provide much-needed medical care to many of the needy and
disadvantaged people of their areas; in most cases charging nothing; in other
cases, charging only the minimum amount for fees needed to provide the medical
care. The regions they serve are some of the over twenty targeted areas by the
World Health Organization to combat various degenerative diseases such as
tuberculosis, cancer, diabetes, aids and heart disease. Some diseases are
spreading at epidemic rates. The lack of properly equipped medical facilities
and the lack of medical supplies further contributes to the ongoing challenge
of saving lives--especially the children, the elderly, and the handicapped. In
addition, HSRF works closely with representatives of these agencies to help
respond to their ongoing needs.
