Mistletoe therapy

[TE53_67]

Hi I have been reading about mistletoe therapy - has anyone had experience with this therapy or is actively taking it at the moment.

Hello, I take one tablet of homeopathic mistletoe every day. Viscum Album 6C. under the advice of a homeopath. Difficult to say if it is making a difference - I feel well. I have watched youtube videos from people who have had a more full on version of mistletoe therapy..

I use the homeopathic pellets and am not sure what one tablet mistletoe is equal to??

[queeneee in reply to blms]

The potency of mine is written on the box.. if you bought it in a standard shop, it is likely to be 30C.. (which is lower than 6C)

[blms in reply to queeneee]

Yes it is 30 c. Did they suggest 6c?

[queeneee in reply to blms]

I consulted a homeopath, that was what she suggested for me

I receive mistletoe IVs twice a week for MBC & I feel great. My first scan since starting mistletoe shows reduction in cancerous masses & healing of bone mets. Before I found a doctor who would administer the IVs, I gave myself mistletoe injections. Easy, once you get the hang of it. Mistletoe is part of the standard of care in Europe. Here's some information: healthline.com/health/mistl...

I was diagnosed in 2014 with breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy, but cancer emerged again in 2015, so I had a mastectomy. Then natural treatments - organic diet, supplements, coffee enemas, juicing. In June 2020, major back pain turned out to be bone mets. Started taking anastrozole for ER/PR+ HER2- cancer. And xgeva shot once a month. In October 2020, started mistletoe injections. Since January 2021, doing mistletoe IVs.

One issue is that my CA 27.29 is sky high. My understanding is that CA 27.29 is a protein that cancer cells emit. The theory is that the more cancer cells you have, the higher is CA 27.29. My CA 27.29 started out at 9000 last summer, then fell steadily to 1800 in November. Now back to 4500. My conventional oncologist says they are a warning of cancer to come. My alternative doctors say treatments could be chewing at cancer cells so that they emit CA 27.29 in the process of dying.

All I know is that my most recent scan shows healing & I feel great. I am at peace, combining convention and alternative treatments.

Thank you for such a comprehensive response I am keen to start using it. I will certainly read more about the Europe supply as I am based in the U.K. thank you again

I also use coffee enemas which make my liver feel so much better and castor Oil packs at night while watching TV.

Hi -- I was on mistletoe therapy for a long while, giving myself shots every other day. As my alternative doc said (he works closely with my oncologist), it wouldn't necessarily cure the cancer but would make me feel better going through treatment. I think this was true and the reason(s) I'm not on it currently are because I've had multiple medication changes in the last six months and didn't want to confuse identifying the SEs with an additional treatment and also because of expense. It's shipped from German and very costly. Let us know how you do!

Hi,

I've read about mistletoe therapy, and know that some people are using it as an alternative treatment for cancer. It's offered in a couple of clinics in Glasgow and Aberdeen. I am not sure if you could order the treatment from Scotland and then inject yourself. That's something you would have to find out. It's something I have been mulling over, but have not taken the leap.

On the advice of my GP, who specializes in integrative cancer therapy, I gave myself mistletoe injections throughout my 20 weeks of chemotherapy in 2018. It was a bit pricey and obviously not covered by US insurance, but well worth it! The purpose of the injections was to alleviate side effects of the chemo - not as a "cure" for the cancer - and she also explained to me that it is the standard of care in Europe, as I had never heard of it before she mentioned it to me. I weathered the chemo very well and although the mistletoe was just one of the many "alternative" ways I used to cope with the effects of chemo, I believe it was an important part of the entire regimen.

My GP provided the syringes, needles and mistletoe directly to me, so it IS available in the US under a doctor's care. I hope it helps you too!!

It is so good that you found a GP who specializes in cancer therapy and that it helped you through all the chemo. I have never heard of mistletoe therapy and intend to look into it. Where do you live? It would be great for me if it is near the north west corner of NJ,

[ANNIE6449]

I am in Southern California. But I’ve been told that Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NY has an AWESOME integrative cancer department!

[TE53_67]

Hi Annie6449, did you Onc explain why the europeans include it in their regime and not only to support chemo effects ?

Hi

I understand that Kris Hallenga, founder of Coppafeel has regular mistletoe infusions. Kris has just celebrated her 12th anniversary thriving with MBC.

Hi Jo,

Thanks for sharing. I just had a read of Kris' story and it's encouraging to hear that she is doing well 12 years in from her diagnosis, especially when you consider where her metastases are. I don't envy her swimming in the Atlantic though! She's a brave woman! Her positive attitude and willingness to help others really shines through too.
