Jennifer Margulis Treatments for Cancer Healing
April 24, 2025 from Jennifer's son Etani: If you follow my mom on Facebook, you may already know that she was dismissed from the clinic in Mexico and told she could no longer get treatment there. First the clinic put her into outpatient status--when she was too sick to safely be an outpatient--then they told her her treatments were being suspended. They told her they were suspending her treatments and denying her access to the clinic after she went into the room of a very sick patient who had asked her to come and visit.
The patient she was helping weighs 88 pounds. Her normal weight is 130. She used to be a police officer and she was at the clinic by the grace of GoFundAHero. R. was in excruciating pain. They sang "You are my sunshine" (off key) and my mom gently rubbed her legs and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Apparently this was in violation of the clinic's rules. My mom was dismissed from the room, while R. was left completely alone. My mom was told she must "promise" to never enter a patient's room again and that she was in repeated violation of the rules.
Note: before she chose to come to this clinic, my mom talked on the phone with a former patient, a nice lady named Tina Buenzili, whose phone number was given to her by the clinic sales staff that patients visit each other's rooms all the time and the fellowship among the patients and their helping each other was one of the best things about it).
"Do you promise to go back in and make sure she's okay?" My mom asked the patient services person, who said she would "check in on her," but instead walked quickly away.
A little while later, not given time to eat lunch, my mom was summoned into a meeting with the clinic director (whom she had never met before, despite being told several times that she would be introduced to her) and several other people and told the meeting was being recorded (for which my mom says she was very grateful). She was informed they would not be speaking in Spanish (to avoid any misunderstandings) and that her money for the week would be returned to her, including for the day's treatments, and that she was no longer allowed inside the clinic. My mom was then told she needed to "go home." She was not allowed to respond to any of the accusations against her in any way or share her side of the story. She was ushered away, along with her tray of food that she still had not been given time to eat, and made to stand outside the clinic on the sidewalk in Tijuana as she waited for paperwork and the home program. Since my mom, who was in a robe and slippers, was too weak and too hungry to stand up, she sat down on the steps of the clinic so as not to sit on the dirty sidewalk. This lead to her being ushered inside again and allowed the use of one of the chairs in the entranceway. She was made to wait for a long time, given the home program in several bags, and asked to sign papers that contained blatantly false statements. My mom refused to sign the papers. "Then you cannot have your home program," she was told by the same patient services person who had summoned her out of R.'s room. She was allowed to change the wording for accuracy and then sign the forms (which she did not take a photograph of because she did not have her phone with her). No doctor reviewed anything about her care with her before she was discharged. No doctor went over the home program. She never even met the doctor she was assigned to. And her previous doctor barely met with her at all, did not set up a meeting with the clinic's oncologists during the 3 weeks she was an in-patient, and did not help her get simple things like eye drops or slippers. One day she was made to walk barefoot in the hospital because the slippers she had were soaked through and the staff was not allowed to give her a new pair. They almost dismissed her without removing the IV from her arm. That was done in the reception area, which was not hygienic. The place where the IV had been got infected after that. Perhaps because of the clinic's lack of hygiene?
The clinic said there were "numerous" patient complaints against my mom. But they would not say which patients or what the complaints were. If being kind and compassionate and helping someone who asked for help who's crying in pain is a crime, then my mom is guilty as charged.
She has no interest in saying anything against this clinic or getting into any kind of battle.
However, given that they have been in repeated violation of their own protocols and so mismanaged her care that her nutritional markers all declined in the 3 weeks she was an inpatient (paying $1500 a day just for access to the basic treatments and much more for things like vitamin D and an IV of curcumin), my mom has asked them for a refund of the money that people have so generously donated so that she can continue with the life-saving treatments she desperately needs. She also asked to be allowed to come to the clinic for the time she had remaining in Tijuana. (She rented a place three blocks away until April 28) and for a copy of the recording of the meeting when she was told she could no longer continue treatments.
Since all of this happened, a patients services manager based in Cancun phoned my mom and offered her $800 back **if** she returned the home program. However, the same manager also reiterated that she still may not enter the clinic; which means she has no actual way to return the program.
To have mismanaged her care to this extent is really egregious. But my mom is a warrior and she's not allowed to die on me. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. All the best, her son Etani

UPDATE: Jennifer is CURRENTLY AT an in-person cancer treatment facility where all of the unconventional, not covered by insurance modalities are considered and SHE NEEDS TO STAY LONGER. She is not able to travel home and get this level of care that is what her body needs right now. IT IS WORKING BUT SHE NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT TO CONTINUE TO HEAL. Anything you can give to help ease the burden of these enormous unexpected bills will be such a blessing. Thank you for all you can do.🙏🏼
Jennifer Margulis is an incredible mom of four, wife, friend, book author, and ally to the medical freedom community. A voice for the voiceless, she’s been an outspoken advocate for healthy birth, gentle parenting, and vaccine safety for over two decades and needs our help so she can heal and nurture her own body after all her giving. In July of 2023 she lost her eye to ocular melanoma and this month, February 2025, she found out she has metastasized melanoma cancer in her liver and spleen.
Most holistic, natural, and alternative treatments are outside of the scope of what conventional insurance covers. We would like to assist her so that she can rest easy in knowing she is supported and taken care of by people who love and appreciate her. If she’s ever been a listening ear when you needed or a hand to hold as you were walking through something yourself—with her words or with her presence—please help her now. She is truly a gem of a human and even if you’ve never met her in real life or had the pleasure of being close with her, there is a good chance one of her books, magazine articles, speeches, or workshops has touched someone you know. She is truly a special one and we want her to be held in this time.
For an understanding of what these costs can be there are $300+ appointment fees, testing costs at $3,000+, and supplement/treatment charges PLUS airfare, travel cost, hotels… please see update #5 where we go into more detail and you can even help to sponsor a treatment. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, prayers, sharing, and well wishes.

Update #4- Continuing Progress
March 25th, 2025
Jennifer is currently at Hope4Cancer healing for her life and undergoing critical integrative treatments. Her strength and spirit are as fierce as ever, but she needs more care- and she needs our help! Originally we were thinking a three week span would be enough but it required dialing in to find what is working for her body and now that she has it and feels it is working she needs to stay with these treatments!
Options for Life Foundation has made a generous donation to jumpstart her journey but more treatment is needed. These life-saving therapies are not covered by insurance, and the financial burden is heavy.
This woman has poured herself out for all of us- for years. As a gifted author, speaker, and warrior for truth she has impacted thousands. It's time now for her community to rise up and pour back into her.
Please consider making a donation today- no amount is too small. And please share this with your friends, your community, your groups.
Let's surround her with love, support, and the resources she needs to heal!
(paraphrased from a sharing by Vanessa Passov DC)
Update #3- Jennifer travels south
March 11th, 2025
Hola Friends- good news! We got Jennifer down to a lovely spot in Mexico where treatments outside the box are offered. She has been having exciting "adventures in healing" since we updated. Bee sting therapy, hyperthermia, lots of learning about supplements... what a process! She is so willing to receive and so grateful for the assistance with getting her body to a better state.
I have seen the way it helps when we share her story with friends that may want to support an alternative cancer journey and encourage you all to share as you can to promote it. Any financial stress we can collectively help to alleviate in these times is such a blessing!
Update #2- After the Biopsy: An Update
February 23rd, 2025
Jennifer thought she was a-okay after the liver biopsy so two days later my almost-four-year-old and I drove her and her husband to the Chinese New Year celebration in Jacksonville. It sounded like a good idea to get away from it all for a moment.
That turned out to be too much.
She spent the next day exhausted, suffering from pain in her side, and lying in bed. The liver biopsy left her with a large puncture wound, bruising, and profound fatigue. Everyone's different but the doctors, in her case, underestimated how hard it would be to recover.
We heard later that friend of ours had a kidney biopsy as a teenager and felt like she’d been run over by a truck for three weeks afterwards.
The biopsy results are in. Unfortunately, it is now confirmed that she has Stage IV metastatic melanoma.
The allopathic treatment is trying different immune therapies. This is purportedly what cured Jimmy Carter when he had metastatic melanoma in his 90s. Carter also had part of his liver removed and had radiation therapy to the melanoma spots in his brain.
Ironically, immune therapy was the treatment she’d been hoping to do when she was first diagnosed as a way to wake up her own immune system so her body would clear the cancer that was originally discovered in her eye.
At the time, the OHSU ocular oncologist said, “We don’t have access to that here,” a phrase the oncologist repeated three times, and insisted that the **only** option was an enucleation. Frustrating!
For more on that, you can read Jennifer’s Substack, “Vibrant Life.” It's free to subscribe but the cancer updates, since they're so personal are all behind the paywall. Here’s are a couple of links:
Enucleation: They Want to Remove My Left Eyeball (https://jennifermargulis.substack.com/p/enucleation)
Eye Can’t See: But I Have a Prosthetic Eye Now (https://jennifermargulis.substack.com/p/eye-cant-see)
It feels really sad to have gone through that devastating surgery only to have more cancer to clear. It also feels frustrating that she was not able to get access to a treatment option that may have resulted in shrinking the tumor in her eye without needing to remove it.
In addition to the immune therapy, we are looking for a program that will help get her immune system back on-line, as well as help her rebuild her strength and morale.
We’re researching three in-patient treatment programs: Sanoviv, Hope4Cancer, and CMN.
Please know she is doing absolutely everything she can to heal and doing her best. I know everyone means well but messages like, “If you value your life, you’ll click on this link and buy my product,” or “There’s no proof that IV vitamin C does anything,” or “If you find Jesus, your cancer will resolve by itself,” even though they're sent with love and concern, don’t promote healing.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We know money is tight for many people. Even $5 will help us reach our goal. If you’d rather Venmo Jennifer directly, her handle is: @Jennifer-Margulis-2.
For those who are asking about what an alternative program looks like and costs, here is the one from Hope4Cancer. The prices are pretty staggering. But to put it in perspective, one immune therapy treatment costs on the order of $40,000, which is billed to insurance.

Please share this GiveSendGo on your social media chanels to help Jennifer get all the support and funding she can as she makes these difficult choices. Thank you for the prayers and stories you are sending her way also- her eyes get strained easily right now so she is not able to respond to everyone but is appreciative of the care. Thank you!
Love,
Melissa
Update #1- Liver Biopsy
February 16th, 2025
Jennifer had a liver biopsy on Feb 13. She was in the hospital for 6 hours, though the procedure didn’t last long. Everyone at Asante was very kind and all 3 of her nurses had names that started with N (Nathan, Nicky, and Nicole). That’s a prerequisite to getting hired there. Despite the smile in the photo, she was terrified. The next day she felt like she’d been run over by a truck and spent most of the day in bed. She’s feeling better and almost recovered now. She asked me to send huge gratitude to everyone who’s donated or shared this fundraiser. A lot of people are feeling pinched and we know even a few dollars can be hard to spare. Thank you for your support and generosity. 🙏❤️🙏❤️ She’ll hopefully get the results of the biopsy this coming week and then make a treatment plan. We will do our best to keep you updated. Jennifer can’t be on the computer much due to eye strain but she asked me to tell you she also very much appreciates your prayers and words of support. Thank you to all of you who have been able to share this givesendgo also- it helps so much!
