Nova Vita S.A. Centro Para Medicina Natural Longevity, Rejuvenation and Natural Healing Center
Av. Las Monjas # 115 August 2007 Entre Circunvalacion y costanera Urdesa Central Guayaquil, Ecuador Tel: Out of Country: 011-593-4288-3480 Fax: 011-593-4288-3460 Tel: In Country: 04-288-3460 Fax: 04-288-3460 E-mail: novavitacenter@hotmail.com
Nova Vita (New Life) is dedicated to helping people heal their bodies with natural God-given tools and life style changes. Our atmosphere is like a family. Everyone cheers for each other’s success and we all work to encourage and help each other. The weather is between 80 and 90 degrees all year. The rainy season is from January to April but the temperatures are still warm.
The Nova Vita Center is located in the heart of the business district of Guayaquil, Ecuador about 10 minutes from the International Airport. If you have not arranged to be picked up, you can take a taxi to the clinic which, at the most, would cost between $2.00 and $5.00. The clinic is open from approximately 8:00 am to 6:00 p.m.
Major airlines such as Delta, Continental, American, Copa Airlines (copaair.com), Lan Ecuador (lanchili.com or lanecuador.com), and Avianca have direct flights out of various cities in the United States. Air France and Iberia fly directly from Europe. (We do not recommend Copa Airlines)
While taking treatment, the patients can bask in the sunshine while sitting around the swimming pool in a resort atmosphere surrounded with palm trees and beautiful plants or read a good book or watch a fun movie in the coolness of the air conditioning.
When coming to Nova Vita, you will be greeted at the airport by a driver who will take you to the place you will be staying or bring you directly to the Center. Just look for a Nova Vita sign with your name on it.
The protocols include intravenous treatment with anti-cancer essential oil compounds such boswellic acid, limonene, and terpinenes (a natural non-toxic therapy), regulating and balancing the catecholamines of the neuron-transmitters that strengthen the immune system and suppress degeneration, IV chelation, neuro-auricular oil therapy, massage, Raindrop therapy, colonics, foot baths for detoxification with electrical frequency and other modalities, nutritional diet, modified juice fasting, and research using new plant extracts from the Amazon jungle used by various tribes for hundreds of years for the treatment of cancer and degenerative disease. For the Rejuvenation Program we also have Synergie treatments for the body and Derma Ray for the face which is a very mild type of stimulus to the skin for reducing wrinkles and improving skin tone for a more youthful look.
We also have a complete gym so it would be best to bring workout clothing with you. If you don’t bring this type of clothing, it is very easy and plentiful to buy. All patients will have workout/ training programs. We have a swimming pool, so please bring a bathing suit for your water therapy. If you are having Synergie treatments, it would be best to have white, cotton under clothing.
Everyone is invited to participate in a variety of classes on essential oils, herbs, nutrition, Bible studies (bring your own Bible), positive attitude, goal setting, emotional healing, etc.
All three meals are provided in the clinic Monday through Friday. On Saturday, only breakfast and lunch will be provided. Those on just juices will have them to take home. Meals are basically vegetarian with a little fish or chicken depending one’s dietary needs. Exotic fresh fruits and vegetables are in abundance as well as fabulous juices common to Ecuador. We want our patients to enjoy a peaceful, restful and uplifting time while they are healing. The fruits and vegetables are fresh and mostly organic and very delicious such as mango, papaya, pineapple, watermelon and many that you probably have never heard of which you will enjoy.
There are basically no health food stores in Ecuador. There are little tiny stores that would like to think they are providing health food, but it is mostly oriental and GNC type supplements which are very limited. You may want to bring your own laundry soap if you are sensitive and picky. There is only one that we have found that says it is hypoallergenic and non-irritating to the skin. We haven’t tried it so we can’t say how good it would be.
Our patient housing is in a six bedroom, six bathroom newly built home about four blocks away from the clinic. We have our own laundry facility at the clinic where you may bring your clothes to be laundered. There are also dry cleaning and washing facilities in abundance for your convenience. However, that will be your responsibility. You are responsible for any food you wish in patient housing. The clinic provides juices for special dietary needs for evening needs. Some core essential food will be available for cooking in patient housing such as oatmeal, rice, beans, and some fruit and vegetables. Meals are provided at the clinic (except on Sundays) so it will not be necessary to do much cooking if at all. Although we provide a cleaning service, you are still responsible for keeping your living quarters clean and orderly.
We also have internet service at both the house and the clinic so feel free to bring your lap top computer.
Almost everything in the grocery stores contains sugar, salt, preservatives, food coloring and other chemicals. The people here eat a lot of sugar, white flour, chocolate and fried foods. There is only one little oatmeal cookie as a “munchie” found that is “safe” to eat. For anyone who is accompanying a patient but is not a patient, it is possible to buy bread (made with sugar), yogurt, butter, cheese, etc. You cannot buy good jams or jelly or anything else that is “spreadable.” You can buy walnuts, almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, raisons and other dried fruits. We ask the patients to please NOT bring anything to eat that will conflict with their treatment or they will be defeating their purpose for being here which will greatly impede their healing. Patients are asked to not eat salt, black pepper, sugar, fried food, white flour foods, milk or milk products, any processed food or juices, coffee, definitely no soda pop, chocolate, or foods with chemicals such as food coloring, preservatives and synthetic flavorings.
You can buy phone cards which are relatively inexpensive. A taxi is also inexpensive and available everywhere and easy to hire for places you would like to go. A taxi from the airport to the clinic should cost about $4.00. Guayaquil is a big city of about three million people. You can see the very modern and the very old. There are big, beautiful, American-type malls next to primitive homes on stilts. Shopping is fun and there are a few people who speak English especially in the malls. Guayaquil has a fabulous bus system that will take you anywhere if you are brave enough to try it. Car rentals are very expensive (about double or triple that in the U.S.). Many things have American prices and others are very inexpensive.
Ecuador uses the American dollar so you don’t have to change any money. They use our coins and their old coins together. It makes it easy if you come with a few $1 and $5 dollar bills as well as a few 50 cent pieces so you are prepared for tips. We suggest carrying 50 one dollar bills, and another 50 in five and ten dollar bills. We don’t suggest bringing 100 dollar bills because most establishments don’t like to take them and many of them won’t take them. It seems that you tip for just about everything and usually 50 cents is good. At the airport there will be many porters to help with the luggage. They will take it off the belt and carry it to the scanner (all luggage including carryons, purses, cameras, diaper bags, etc. have to go through a scanner to enter Ecuador). Porters will then carry your baggage out for you right to the taxi or to whoever is picking you up at that time. Generally $1 is sufficient as a tip.
Credit cards are used in the malls and most commercial businesses. But do not expect it everywhere. We suggest that you do not bring travelers’ checks because they are almost impossible to cash. Only the Central Bank will cash travelers’ checks and this bank is located in the center of Guayaquil which is far away from the clinic. It would not be a happy experience to take a taxi to this place.
It is suggested that everyone coming to the Center bring extra items such as toothpaste, soap/bath gel, bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, food “munchies” (for the non-patient) and anything else that you might need as a comfort. Please bring your desired Young Living products for your personal use – especially Ningxia Red (the single packets are the best), PowerMeal, Balance Complete, etc. We do not have a Young Living warehouse yet, and so the products that we have here are for patient protocols only.
The weather is beautiful and at best you would need only a sweater and an umbrella (the rainy season is from approximately January to March). Don’t bring heavy clothing or anything clothing that is made from a thick material. Most people like cotton the best and most dress attire is very casual.
Nova Vita Policy and Procedures
Av. Las Monjas # 115 August 2007 Entre Circunvalacion y costanera Urdesa Central Guayaquil, Ecuador Tel: Out of Country: 011-593-4288-3480 Tel: In Country: 04-288-3460 E-mail: novavitacenter@hotmail.com
To become a patient at the Nova Vita Wellness Center, the following requests need to be met:
Please send or email all the medical records that you have.
a. Are you under a doctor’s care? b. Are you taking medication? c. Have you had any operations? d. Have you taken medication in the past and if yes, what did you take, for how long and when did you stop taking your medication? Please list them.
We do not accept patients over 70 years of age unless authorized by the doctor. That will be determined in a phone consultation.
We do not accept wheelchair patients meaning patients who cannot walk. We do not accept patients who have to be in a hospital bed. We are not a hospital and do not have hospital facilities. When treatments finish in the late afternoon and after the evening meal, patients are driven back to their sleeping accommodation.
There are two categories of treatment:
Degenerative Disease: The cost per patient is $3,000 per week. An evaluation might be possible, however, that will have to be discussed and agreed upon with the doctor. The minimum stay is from four to six weeks for degenerative disease. There are no treatments for degenerative disease for only one or two weeks.
Rejuvenation program: The cost per patient is $2,500 per week. The minimum stay is anywhere from three to six weeks depending on desire and needs and your discussion with the doctor.
Spouse or companion cost is reduced by 25% of the program that the spouse or companion may choose. The costs will be determined when you are here as each individual situation is different. Many will enjoy having a massage, Raindrop treatment, a live blood cell analysis, or even participate in the Longevity Rejuvenation Program.
A spouse or anyone accompanying the patient will be charged $250.00 per week or $40 per day which includes meals and lodging for which a 12% Ecuador tax has to be charged.
We strongly recommend that any patient coming to the clinic be accompanied by a family member or friend. We find the emotional support to be extremely valuable in the patient’s healing.
We require an initial deposit of $10,000. This can be done by bank wire transfer. There after, on-going charges may be made by credit card after you arrive at the clinic. We currently only accept Master Card and Visa. In Ecuador, the bank charges 8% for credit card charges for which you will be responsible to pay, if you pay Nova Vita by credit card. Some people have also brought cash which is acceptable if you are comfortable in carrying cash with you while traveling. Nova Vita does not accept personal checks and/or Traveler’s Checks.
Patient fees include all therapies at the Center, meals for therapeutic and healing application, and transportation to and from the airport. The meals are designed especially for your clinical and dietary needs. Patients will be picked up in the morning and brought to the clinic and taken back to their sleeping quarters after the evening meal.
There will be additional charges for any medical procedures or treatments received outside of the Center such as CAT scans, MRI, minor surgical procedures, blood draws for laboratory analysis, or any type of laboratory work done in a laboratory or hospital facility. You must be prepared to pay for these outside charges with sufficient cash or credit card. If Nova Vita pays for any of these outside charges, the patient’s account will be billed. For more extensive surgical or hospital services, we will help the patient to make arrangements to pay the hospital directly when you are here.
You must be accepted as a patient and have wired the money before you arrive. Please feel free to call us with questions and we will do our best to help you. We want you to feel safe and peaceful in an environment that helps you bring about your desired healing.
The clinic hours are from Monday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and on Saturdays until 1:00 pm. We are closed on Sunday. This is a day for sightseeing, exploring Guayaquil and its surrounding areas or whatever you choose. No food service is provided on Sunday, and the clinic does not normally provide any activities so this is your free day. On occasion a patient may have to have a treatment on Sunday. If you arrive, after12:00-midday, your treatment will begin the next morning. However, there may be some diagnostic work done. Meals and sleeping accommodations will be provided. If you arrive at night, you will be taken directly to your accommodations and then brought to the clinic in the morning.
If you choose to check out early and go home there will be a 50% refund. Shipping supplies for your treatments are expensive. If the doctors determine that you are ready to go home early, then there will be a 90% refund. Any remaining portion will be credited to your account for follow-up and product.
While at the Nova Vita Center, it is important that you come prepared to follow the protocols determined to be the best for you. If you choose not to follow direction and come with your own plan, we will not be able to have you in the Center. It is also important that you do not eat or drink the following:
No sugar No salt No fried foods No alcohol, soda pop, coffee Do NOT smoke No chocolate No white flour products Basically no processed foods In most cases, no meat (On occasion chicken and fish will be served) depending on your dietary protocol.
If you feel you cannot abide by these conditions, then it would be best not to come to our center. If you choose not to adhere to these requests after you have begun treatment, your treatment will be stopped and you will be asked to leave the Nova Vita Healing Center.
Phone consultations are included for the first 30 days after leaving the clinic. After that there will be a $150.00 charge per phone consultation.
We desire to have people come who are committed to getting well. There are many things to complain about in life and if you are a complainer or negative person, you will not accomplish what would be desired for you and therefore it would be best not come.
Sincerely, Nova Vita Administration
