The Link Between Mistletoe and Cancer Care.

Mistletoe (Viscum album) is more than just a holiday tradition; it's a powerful complementary therapy for cancer treatment. Widely studied in Europe, mistletoe extracts, including viscotoxins and mistletoe lectins, have been shown to be cytotoxic (cell killing) to cancer cells and enhance the immune system. Often used alongside chemotherapy, it alleviates side effects like nausea, pain, and fatigue while improving quality of life. Beyond cancer, mistletoe shows promise in treating chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and arthritis. Administered via subcutaneous injections, its tailored dosage supports individual health needs, making mistletoe a versatile therapeutic option.
