My mother has metastatic breast cancer and is very interested in the European mistletoe treatment, are you familiar with it?

Hi, Yes I'm very familiar with the subject. Last year several researchers published data that a certain compound in mistletoe had potential anti-cancer properties. While this may be so, you should not simple assume that by taking raw mistletoe that you are going to achieve the same results. One is a refined product - directly purifying and concentrating the target agent. The second simply tries to assume that if you take "natural" mistletoe that you will achieve the same results. If you try to do so without being involved in a clinical trial then chances are you are not going to see a meaningful change in the cancer. Further study is warranted regarding mistletoe and I would encourage you to participate in a clinical trial if this is something you are wishing to explore.
Thanks & let us know your decision!
