Mistletoe is much more than a Christmas decoration – it is incredible medicine. Mistletoe therapy is one of the most coveted integrative oncology treatments that is used world-wide. Nicole Saleske did extensive training on mistletoe through an apprenticeship with the Physicians Association for Anthroposophic Medicine (PAAM) and even traveled to Europe to watch the manufacturing process and application of this medicine from farm to bottle.
Mistletoe has been used as medicine for 100 years. It contains several phytochemicals that makes this medicine so unique. Collectively, the viscotoxins and lectins within the mistletoe plant demonstrate destructive effects on the tumor cells and modulatory effects on the immune system. It helps to bring a “mantle of warmth” to the patient and raises their body temperature to bring back necessary life forces back to the organism for healing.
Because Mistletoe works to create a productive inflammatory response, not all patients qualify. This may be prescribed by your provider as another tool. Each patient is assessed to see if this therapy will be useful for your unique situation and diagnosis. There is a lot of further information and resources that can be found online with research concerning mistletoe therapy. You can read further on this amazing therapy in the following resources:
