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. I have specialized training and a focused interest in using natural therapies with a long history of clinical use – like mistletoe, IV vitamin C, chelation & detoxification practices, among others.

My clinic in Asheville, NC is an access clinic for those seeking intensive natural therapies to support advanced conditions like cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, cardiovascular disease, and severe autoimmune diseases. Members of my practice have access to these therapies at-cost to reduce bias and improve access to care.

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 is Board Certified by:
American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM)
American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine (ABIHM)

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)

STEP 3

ACCESS AT-COST THERAPIES

community pricing

Our clinic has an “at-cost” policy for all therapies prescribed to help you take on your therapeutic protocols as dictated by your needs and clinical indication. Our clinic aims to minimize the the biases and barriers to these treatments in our modern day health care system. 

During active membership, in-office therapies, supplements, and diagnostics are all provided at-cost. We maintain a low-overhead model by providing telehealth appointments in between office treatments and giving patients access to wholesale pricing of their prescribed medicines (including IVs). We estimate this model reduces annual costs for these therapies by >50% for those on intensive treatment protocols.

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 illnesses.
Conditions that may benefit:
  • cancer
  • autoimmune diseases
  • chronic infections
  • some others

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. 

Conditions that may benefit:
  • cancer
  • chronic inflammatory conditions
  • chronic immune conditions

CHELATION THERAPY

Chelation therapy is used to remove unwanted substances from the body, and has been historically used for heavy metal toxicity since the 1950s – physicians have repeatedly noted improvements in blood flow and heart function with this therapy, and it has investigational use for improving various physiological processes within the body – brain function, metabolic function, and immune function. 

Conditions that may benefit:
  • cardiovascular conditions
  • chronic toxicity syndromes
  • neurodegenerative conditions

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.
