For more than a decade, one of Tijuana's busiest spas has been a clinic operated by Dr. Ernesto Contreras Rodriguez, 60, who, in the eyes of his patients, offers that most elusive of medical miracles: a cancer cure. The heart of his treatment, a drug called Laetrile, is banned in the U.S. and Canada as a phony remedy; but it is perfectly legal in Mexico, where Contreras has administered it to some...
