IPT as an Alternative to Chemotherapy with Dr. Charles Schwengel and Medicine of HOPE

Dr. Schwengel utilizes Insulin Potentiation Therapy with low dose chemotherapy and homeopathic medicines to provide a kinder, gentler, safer treatment for cancer patients.


Dr. Charles Schwengel of Medicine of HOPE in Scottsdale, AZ helps spread hope throughout the community with alternative cancer treatments including Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT).  IPT is a procedure for targeting smaller amounts of cancer treatment drugs directly to cancer cells, making the drugs tougher on the disease and easier on the person being treated.

Dr. Schwengel, besides his conventional license in Osteopathic Medicine, also holds a license in Integrative and Homeopathic Medicine.  He is one of only a few physicians who are certified in IPT which allows people to continue to thrive, maintain the quality of their life and be vital while they are being treated.  IPT is different from traditional chemotherapy in that it utilizes insulin to optimize the benefits of the medicine.  IPT uses only about 10% of the amount of the medications that are used in conventional chemotherapy.  Through Insulin Potentiation Therapy, Dr. Schwengel first lowers the patient’s blood sugar with insulin.  This causes cancer cells to starve and they become much more receptive to smaller amounts of the chemotherapy medicine.  Small doses of drugs are then given which are easily taken up by cancer cells.  There is very little left over to cause the side effects commonly associated with conventional chemotherapy.

The team at Medicine of HOPE offers integrative, holistic, alternative medical treatments for people seeking more natural and gentle care for cancer.  IPT is kinder and gentler for the patient while being tougher on tumors.  IPT allows the healing to come from within, as nature intended, while helping to prevent the growth and spread of tumors.  For more information about Insulin Potentiation Therapy and Medicine of HOPE please visit: www.medicineofhope.com.

Cancer treatments at Medicine of HOPE always begin with a Health Profile.  Developing a personalized Health Profile is a way of gaining the necessary insight to know clearly how to design a treatment plan for cancer that closely fits each person's needs. 

Conventional medicine commonly uses standardized treatments according to the name and stage of the diagnosis.  The idea is to "fight" cancer with large doses of highly toxic and dangerous chemotherapy drugs, surgery, or radiation.  This approach always leaves residual side-effects on the mind and body.

Getting over cancer requires working with the mind and body, not against them.  Integrative Medicine uses tools that help define precisely what each person's needs are.  Methods, medications and techniques are used that are generally much safer and preserve the quality of life throughout treatment.
