Welcome.

Hello, this is Doctor T. I hope to be able to help you.

I am an internal medicine physician who specializes in the use of natural medicines in advanced and complex medical conditions.

My clinic in Asheville, NC is an access clinic for those seeking intensive natural therapies such as intravenous ascorbic acid, chelation, and mistletoe. I use therapies that have a long history of clinical use for improving health and are targeted at improving our intrinsic healing mechanisms. Members of my practice have access to these therapies at-cost to reduce bias and improve access to care.

My goal is to reduce suffering, improve lifespan, and reduce dependency on chronic medications.  

To your health,

– Doctor T

About Doctor T, MD

Dr. Teresa Campanile, MD is a double board-certified internal medicine and integrative medicine physician who specializes in the use of alternative and complimentary medicines for advanced chronic disease. She has 14 years of clinical experience practicing in both standard medical (inpatient acute hospital care) and alternative medical settings. 

Dr T obtained her medical degree at The University of Connecticut School of Medicine and completed her training in internal medicine at Case Western Reserve University. Her career began as a dedicated physician and teacher, serving as professor of medicine and faculty at Columbia University, University of North Carolina, and MAHEC. She developed an early interest in alternative & integrative modalities while listening to her patient’s health & healing stories. She sought specialty trainings in various alternative medicines and opened Doctor T, MD PLLC in 2021 to provide high quality integrative medicine care to her local community in Asheville, NC. 

Several natural medicines have become foundational in her practice in the treatment of advanced chronic conditions – IV Vitamin C, Mistletoe, chelation therapy to name a few. The high out-of-pocket costs and sparsity of trained physicians for these therapies in our current model of care make them difficult to access with proper medical supervision.  Our clinic is now dedicated to improving access to these therapies, is focused on fundraising for community care, and is in the process of applying for 501c3 status to better serve our community. 

Doctor T has special clinical training to provide the following treatments:
Functional & Integrative medicine (ABIHM) 
Mistletoe & adjunctive cancer treatments (PAAM) 
Chelation Medicine (ACAM)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine (ATMO)

Doctor T specializes in providing integrative care for chronic medical conditions including:
Autoimmune disorders

ACCESS AT-COST THERAPIES

During active membership, in-office therapies, supplements, and diagnostics are all provided at-cost.

Advanced Therapies:

HIGH DOSE IV VITAMIN C

High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) therapy has been a foundational treatment in natural medicine since the 1950s and has both scientific evidence and a strong clinical history of supporting those with long-term illneses, such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. We offer in-office IV Vitamin C treatments for our patients at-cost.

MISTLETOE THERAPY

Mistletoe therapy, a complementary approach used widely in Europe, offers hope for cancer patients by supporting overall well-being and potentially easing treatment side effects. Backed by emerging research, this gentle, plant-based therapy may enhance quality of life, helping patients feel stronger and more balanced during their cancer journey. We offer in-office IV mistletoe treatments and at-home subcutaneous injection supplies for our patients at-cost.

CHELATION THERAPY

Chelation means a medication that acts as a chelator or “claw” to bind and remove substances from the body. Sodium EDTA, a medical chelation compound, was first used to remove heavy metals from the body in the 1950s and doctors noticed incidentally that patients had symptoms of better blood flow to the heart after therapy. It has since been extensively studied and used as an alternative therapy for atherosclerosis, and more recently for chronic neurodegenerative diseases and chronic toxicity syndromes. We offer in-office IV chelation treatments for our patients at-cost. 

Low dose naltrexone

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), is known for its potential to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation by acting as an opioid receptor antagonist. It has a long history of off-label use for treating advanced chronic illnesses like cancer, autoimmunity, and more recently chronic fatigue syndromes.  LDN is thought to work by temporarily blocking opioid receptors, which may increase endorphin production and regulate immune responses.

FAQ.

WHAT KINDS OF SERVICES DOES DOCTOR T PROVIDE?

Doctor T provides advanced therapeutic modalities (HBOT, high dose IV vitamin C, chelation) that have a long history of use for supporting our endobiogenic “self-regulating” systems. 

CAN DOCTOR T, MD BE MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR?

Doctor T, MD does not provide primary care services. Our clinic provides specialty consultation and oversight of specific natural therapies but is not set up to conduct care for routine or acute illnesses, does not provide vaccinations, cancer screenings, disability exams and cannot serve as your primary care physician in that capacity.  Thus, we recommend you maintain a primary care physician for preventative and emergency services and follow with all of your regular care providers while receiving treatments at our clinic.

CAN I RECEIVE CARE FROM DOCTOR T IF I AM NOT IN NORTH CAROLINA?

No, Doctor T is licensed to see patients only within the state of NC, including telehealth appointments.

What is the cost structure?

We require an intake consultation to determine your candidacy for treatment ($185/60min telehealth with Dr T). If you are eligible for membership ($275/mo) we will send you more intake forms and specific pricing for the cost of your medicines as determined by your treatment protocol. Your medicines will be purchased in 1-month supplies, and the cost for each time you use the infusion suite is $50/infusion. Membership can be paused & reactivated as desired, however a 3-month minimum commitment is required upon reactivation. Patients are discharged from the clinic when not seen for >1 year (rejoining will require another $185 consultation).

 

Example:

As of 09/2025, the cost of a 50gm dose vial of Vitamin C is offered at-cost to patients is $42 (plus $50 infusion suite fee = total $92/infusion). Our at-cost model means you are only paying for the crude cost of your medicine & delivery of the medicine, with minimal overhead and no profit margin costs. 

Compared at an average cost of $200-300 per infusion, this portends a significant cost benefit overtime to patients requiring frequent treatments.  Those following the Riordan Clinic protocols for cancer care are often recommended 2-3 IV infusions per week for consistent tumor suppression until 12months of clinical improvement (tumor stability or regression) is achieved, then de-escalated in frequency.
