Mistletoe therapy is an herbal treatment for cancer. It can be given intravenously or by subcutaneous injection.
The kind I use IV comes from a company called Heel. The subcutaneous injections are from a brand name called Iscador.
Dr. Neil McKinney N.D., author of Naturally There's Hope had this to say about Mistletoe injections:
"White-berried European mistletoe or Viscum album has been a successfulremedy for advanced cancer since 1917. Approximately 60% of German andSwiss medical doctors advise their cancer patients to use it. Mistletoetherapy is part of "anthroposophical medicine" created by Rudolph Steiner,who also created Waldorf schools and Bio-Dynamic agriculture. Dr. McKinneyhas used it for over 20 years, and finds it to be a very reliable medicine.It has produced durable remissions in cases that were otherwise hopeless. Ihave seen terminal cases given years of quality life. The two brands which are the best are Helixor and Iscador. The mistletoe isextracted, fermented and standardized for cancer cell-killing viscotoxinsand immune-stimulating viscolectins. We give the medication by injection just under the skin (subcutaneous)approximately three times per week. . I will train you how to do thisyourself, at home. It takes about 3 to 4 weeks to work up to the full dose,as we must condition the immune system to react to the medicine. Once atthe full dose, the effects are usually very substantial improvements in thequality of life. This includes reduction or elimination of pain,restoration of appetite, appropriate weight gain, and general wellness.Over time the tumors may shrink and even disappear. Over the years, someadvanced cases are even cured. For example, actress Suzanne Sommersattributes her success over breast cancer to mistletoe."
Personally, I would wait to give this therapy after chemo or radiation because you're watching for a positive skin reaction following the subcutaneous injections. The skin reaction you're watching for can indicate the degree of immuno stimulation created by the Mistletoe. With high powered drugs (chemo) and radation, this reaction may not be able to be clearly assessed. That is, too much going on in the body at once.
