Mistletoe injections in the United States

Hello ladies, I am seeking Mistletoe injections and am trying to obtain therapy in the United States. If nothing is available here, then Toronto, Canada would be my next choice. Please let me know if you have any tips or information on this. I can’t afford to travel to Germany for treatment and with COVID restrictions, that might not be possible anyway. I found a clinic that has mistletoe extract made in the US available, but I want to use the injectable extract made from European mistletoe that is manufactured in Germany and known as Iscador. Feel free to private message me if you like Thank you and best wishes from Louisiana,

Sashay

Never heard of this mistletoe injections, but was intrigued, had a look and you may be able to contact the company directly, ie iscador they do offer services, can post the injections, costs £297 for it to be sent to the U.K per year, read article on woman who took those injections. Wish you well sorry wasn't more helpful, it's being used in the U.K but the European variety you seek is not authorised in the USA.

Thanks fir responding. Iscador, which is the European botanical can be sent from Germany to virtually any country on the planet except the USA who now prevents seniors from crossing the border to Canada and returning with much less expensive prescriptions. Pharmaceutical lobbyists at work. Shameful! If I am well enough in January, I may look for a three week rental in Canada and stay there for treatment after my next chemo day. 😠Sashay

Wish you well Sashay yes I understand that's what they tend to do and agree it's shameful pharmaceutical companies do that. I will read up more on it as it was interesting and I hadn't heard of it before so thank you for the post.

Hello Sashay! I am interested in that as well. I'm about to connect with my oncology naturalpath in Phily. She does virtual appointments. She will train me on how to administer the shots. Not sure if she has access to the kind of mistletoe you want. If you want to private message me your email, I can let you know how my appointment with her goes.....what she recommends. I will probably chat with her next week. Blessings, Colleen

Hi Sashay. How are you? I just joined the community and realize this is an old post. I live in Canada and have just started mistletoe for hereditary colon cancer due to Lynch Syndrome. There is an organization in the US called "Believe Big". They are a non profit helping cancer patients connect with practitioners who offer mistletoe therapy and other integrative approaches. Hope you are doing well! Please reply if still on this forum.
