Steven G. Ayre has been practicing medicine since 1972 after obtaining his BA in Philosophy and Mathematics from McGill University in 1966. He then graduated from the University of Ottawa Medical School in 1971 and completing a rotating internship at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Next, he joined his father, William Burton Ayre, M.D. at the private family practice, Ayre Medical Clinic, located in the Town of Mount Royal, a suburb of Montreal.

Following his father’s innovative inclination towards the use of high dose vitamin therapy in the treatment of behavioral disorders, Dr. Ayre became the Medical Director of the Montreal Association of Children With Learning Disabilities. This interest in mega-vitamin therapy opened the way for his involvement in the growing field of alternative medical practices.

In 1975, Dr. Ayre first became acquainted with the procedure later named Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). He met at that time with Dr. Donato Perez Garcia of Mexico City whose father - Dr. Donato Perez Garcia, Sr. – had originated the Cellular Therapy to Change the Biophysical Biochemical Constants of the Blood. The stories Dr. Ayre heard from Dr. Perez about cancer treatment using his father’s therapy, coupled with his own professional frustration with the suffering associated with cancer treatment led him to embrace this unique idea and develop it scientifically.

For the past 30 years, Dr. Ayre has dedicated his medical career to the scientific development of this innovative cancer treatment, which in 1986 he came to call Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT).

Dr. Ayre has published five papers in peer reviewed medical literature on this subject (see Documentation) and has made scientific presentations on the treatment at major national and international scientific conferences. Dr Ayre established Contemporary Medicine in 1999 and has since treated over 200 cancer patients with IPT.

His efforts in this area have earned him recognition from the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). In December 2005, the Director of OCCAM, Dr. Jeffrey White, announced a Request For Proposal on alternative cancer treatment and Dr. Ayre was invited to respond because of his dedicated involvement with IPT.
