    Wondering why your list of alternative cancer treatments doesn’t include mistletoe? It is part of standard of care in several European countries. My mother was diagnosed with stage 3b ovarian cancer 10 years ago. Had debulking surgery but never did any conventional treatments, only mistletoe and other nutritional supplements and remains recurrence free. While not yet FDA approved, there is a trial being done at Johns Hopkins.

    Yes, mistletoe is used by doctors/practitioners of anthroposophical medicine. There is a list of those doctors, etc. here: https://anthroposophicmedicine.org/provider-directory

    I’m glad to hear that it was so helpful for your mother.

    Hi @Lisa I asked Dr. Marik for his opinion :

    “Mistletoe is listed in the Cancer Care Book as a strong recommendation.

    While widely utilized in Europe (as standard of care) it is uncommonly used in the USA.

    One has to go to a practitioners who specializes in this therapy… and it is not widely available.

    Also has to be given by subcutaneous injection”
