About Us

Your Medicine of HOPE team, Dr. Charles Schwengel and Malonie Gabriel

We understand that cancer, chronic illness, pain, and dis-ease do not strike at random and each has a purpose and a root cause housed in our personal vulnerabilities. We provide individualized treatment plans based on all aspects your physical body, beliefs, perceptions, strengths, and lifestyle.

Since diseases form as a natural response to prolonged conflicts, stresses, nutritional deficiencies, and accumulation of toxins, Medicine of HOPE practitioners approach treatment with the understanding that cancer and other chronic illnesses are symptoms or a wake-up call. Rather than the common approach that focuses on fighting selected symptoms, we focus on the whole person to restore physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic wellness to establish patterns for healthy living.

Our therapies include Homeopathy, IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy with low dose chemotherapy or homeopathic medicines), Lymph Drainage Therapy, Whole Food Nutrition, Herbal Formulas that help stimulate the natural immune and defense systems of the body, and Intravenous Therapies, including Oxygen, Ozone and Vitamin C to help strengthen the immune system, and Chelation Therapy to reduce harmful heavy metals. By using these kinder, gentler treatment methods, we work to remove the cause of the di-sease to empower the body to heal, and set patterns for optimal living.

Medicine of HOPE is a comprehensive, Integrative Medical Oncology Center that draws from scientifically proven medical treatments & natural healing therapies from around the world.

: Malonie Gabriel, , BA, LMT, EEM-CLP

Malonie’s greatest challenge in life has been to overcome fear. She was born and raised in communist Hungary where as a child she ran for her life from soldiers. At age 21, she defected from Hungary, alone, with just $10 in her pocketbook. She went on to create a fulfilling, successful life for herself upon finding a profound understanding of forgiveness and finding her powerful inner strength & meaning in life.

Malonie is a natural healer, which means that she was born with the ability to perceive and work with the human energy field. She has had extensive training to develop these innate abilities into a healing art. She is a certified Eden Energy Medicine Clinical Practitioner, a Healing Touch Practitioner, Reiki Master and trained in several other healing modalities. She is also an authorized trainer for Energy Healing for Women as well as an instructor at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA).

Practicing in the holistic health field since the early 80’s, Malonie specializes in Lymph Drainage Therapy, Oncology Massage, Health Coaching and Energy Medicine. She is a licensed esthetician, certified in the Dr. Hauschka holistic skin and body treatments.

She is happily married to Dr. Schwengel and is a partner in their holistic healing practice.
