Hi, Soso. Yes, I have used mistletoe extract injections for a couple of years now. I was using a formulation closer to Viscum album, but now I will start viscum mali. I believe it is a bit stronger and works better for OC. My daughter and I flew to Colorado and met with an MD who has a family practice there. I started treatment with no expectation of a cure. I started injections because my second line chemo caused stomach cramps that I could not endure. The mistletoe worked on the chemo-induced abdominal pain, and I was able to complete my second-line chemo. I am stage 4 now and have been switched to Viscum Mali. I received it from Germany. Of course, mistletoe is not FDA approved. Johns Hopkins may still be running a study on mistletoe. Also, as I said, I have been helped by it, but not cured. I will continue with it. Also, since you are open to adding natural therapies, Look for Jed Fahey, PhD. On YouTube. He speaks very well on sulforophane which is in broccoli and in broccoli sprouts. John’s Hopkins tried to secure a patent on growing broccoli sprouts. baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xp...

a court struck down the patent. That was very interesting

Feel free to DM me if you like.

Best wishes from New Orleans, LA.

Got my wife eating broccoli sprouts, we're growing them ourselves. Just going to suggest trying the supplement DIM which is an extract of broccoli sprouts.

Thanks for the tip. Can you tell me what sprouting method you use, and the brand of organic seed you use? I sure wish you and your wife the best, skyuka!

We use Source Nutrition, place in a empty honey jar with piece of cheese cloth over the drain end. U may want to make your own liposomal vit c (much cheaper than iv). We also have a PEMF mat, a GB 4000 frequency generator, eat a vegan diet and take alot of supplements.

yes, I have had some IV and now continue to inject Iscador Viscum Mali in my abdomen twice a week. Dr. Steven Johnson who wrote a book about mistletoe and now trains other practitioners is located in Chatham, NY. He does telemedicine consults. He can order for you from Uriel Pharmacy in the US. My primary doctor now orders it for me. The mistletoe phase 1 trial was completed and JH is now trying to raise funds for phase 2. Check out Believe Big to get more information.

Good morning soso12

Thank you for your post. I can see that some members of the forum community have shared their experiences with you which I hope has been helpful.

Viscus album extract is another name for European Mistletoe. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre have some information about European Mistletoe on their comprehensive ‘About Herbs’ database, which I hope may be helpful and can be found through this link: mskcc.org/cancer-care/integ... . This page outlines what European Mistletoe is, potential uses, benefits and side effects – as well as outlining some possible contraindications. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre explain that ‘Mistletoe therapy may improve symptoms and quality of life for cancer patients, but definitive information is still lacking’.

As Memorial Sloan Kettering state on their website, it's really important to tell your clinical team about any dietary supplements you’re considering including herbal products, vitamins, minerals in order to help them prevent any contraindications and keep you safe.

Dr Sosie Kasaab at the Integrated Cancer Care Centre at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust specialises in homeopathy, acupuncture and Iscador (a mistletoe preparation). These treatments are used to help with symptom relief, including side effects of conventional cancer treatments and quality of life. Dr Sosie is particularly interested in ensuring that complementary treatments are used safely and appropriately alongside conventional treatments. If you would like to learn more, please visit: uclh.nhs.uk/our-services/fi... .

You may also find our information booklet about complementary therapies of interest, which can be found here on our website: ovacome.org.uk/complementar... . This has a section dedicated to plants and herbs and provides details about the National Institute of Medical Herbalists that lists herbalists in your area: nimh.org.uk/ .

I hope this information is useful and that a conversation with your oncologist or member of your clinical team can provide personalised guidance in relation to your individual circumstances and medical history. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you would like to talk through anything or have any other questions. You can reply directly through this forum, email us via [e-mail] or give our friendly support line a call on 0800 008 7054.

Hi! I’m about to start this therapy. It’s very well recognized here on Germany. Here’s a link to the results of the study which has just been finished at John Hopkins:

I also grow my own broccoli sprouts and eat those!

All the best for you ☺️

Really interested in the replies. Has anyone experience of non-injectable versions of mistletoe - in rural UK and not sure where I would start with this.
