Clinical reasoning
Why this clinic combines three disciplines instead of practising one, and what that changes about your plan.
The starting point
Dr. Jorge Vázquez Parnass trained in functional medicine at Sanoviv Medical Institute, where he worked from 1999 to 2007 and ran the medical side for the last four years. That training changed how he understands disease: not treating symptoms from the compassionate side, but treating the patient from the medical side, looking for the root cause rather than only the surface.
In practice that means something very concrete. Before a therapy is proposed to you, somebody here has to know what is actually causing your condition. Not assume it. That is why diagnostics at this clinic run longer than at a wellness consultation, and it is why an evaluation can end with you not being a candidate for anything the clinic offers.
Functional medicine is the foundation, but on its own it does not go far enough. Combined with regenerative medicine and anti-aging medicine it becomes a far more complete system: one that does not just treat disease, but works to improve, prevent and regenerate. All three are practised here on the same patient and the same plan, not in three separate offices.
This is the one that asks why. It reviews clinical history, habits, lab work and the body systems as a whole, to find the imbalance sitting underneath what you feel.
On its own it falls short. On its own it understands the problem well and has few tools to repair tissue that is already damaged.
This is the one that repairs. It works with stem cells, exosomes, peptides and the therapies that give the body the signal and the material to rebuild.
On its own it falls short. On its own it repairs without correcting what caused the damage, so the problem tends to come back.
This is the one that sustains. It works on the processes of aging itself: hormones, mitochondria, inflammation, and the markers that shift with the years.
On its own it falls short. On its own it optimizes a person whose cause nobody looked for and whose damage nobody repaired.
We now know that diet, sleep, exercise, stress and relationships all matter. That part is said everywhere. What is almost never said is that the genome matters too, and that gene expression can be modulated.
There is a functional map of roughly 26,000 human genes and a growing ability to act on how they are expressed, which is what the hallmarks of aging are about. That is the piece almost no wellness clinic touches, and it is central to how a plan is designed at BMC.
Diagnostics
A plan built on a routine blood panel is a plan built on assumptions. These are the studies used here to build the patient map. Which ones are ordered depends on your case; not everyone gets all of them.
A typical treatment plan runs two to three weeks. It is not a single session: it is a sequence, with the therapies in the order that makes clinical sense and the number of sessions defined from the start.
If you live in Tijuana or Baja California, follow-up is scheduled weekly or every two weeks. If you are travelling in, the full calendar is handed to you before you book flights and lodging, because a plan you only half know is a trip you plan badly.
A plan is built from these pieces. They are listed here in catalog order, and each has its own sheet: what happens in the session, who it is considered for and when it does not apply.
The consultation everything starts with. No therapy is given without it.
The studies used to find the cause before any therapy is proposed. Includes genetic panels and food allergy panels.
Stem cells, exosomes, secretomes and peptides, applied under medical criteria and with a written indication.
Pressurized oxygen in a multiplace chamber. The therapy with the longest documented clinical record in the clinic.
Infusions formulated on medical indication: NAD+, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C and the Myers cocktail.
Hormone replacement with molecules identical to the body own, prescribed from lab work and never from symptoms alone.
Medical ozone, systemic or local, in measured doses from a calibrated generator.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields applied to one area or to the whole body. Non-invasive and needle-free.
An eating plan built on your lab work and your real routine, not on a printed diet.
The program that puts several therapies into a single sequence, for patients who travel in with a fixed number of days.
"We are not just trying to help people feel better. We are trying to help them get to 150."
Dr. Jorge Vázquez Parnass, Medical Director, BMC Clinic
It is the consultation where your history is reviewed, the studies you need are decided, and it is determined whether any of the therapies makes sense in your case. It can be done by video call before you travel.
