Mistletoe for Cancer Treatment (I)
The Druids considered the mistletoe as a magical plant… and they were probably right. The U.S. National Cancer Institute, for example, admits that this is a plant of great interest in cancer treatment as it not only causes death by apoptosis in cancer cells but also stimulates the immune system. A faculty that is blamed on two of its components: vixcotoxinas and lectins.
And that explains why in some European countries already-used as monotherapy or as adjunct-to treat cancer and/or to decrease the side effects of chemotherapy. Over 30 clinical studies endorse their properties.
Rarely someone who has overcome cancer by natural methods have the opportunity to tell in the media because they are engaged in relentless censorship to defend the existing system. Opposite happens with popular celebrities or those patients who claim to be satisfied or to have recovered with conventional treatments: immediately found a niche in the media to speak well of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The same thing happens here in the paradise of the official Oncology: USA. Hence in 2001 the popular and internationally known Larry King Show, generated controversy nationwide, with second part included in 2005-which still endures. Larry King interviewed Suzanne Somers then, very popular woman in America who began as a television actress and ended up becoming an entrepreneur at the center of a real empire with all kinds of fashion products, diet, beauty and physical exercise, She is the author of books on health supermillionaire sales.
Ombudsman natural procedures for weight loss had been charged by a magazine to visit a cosmetic surgery clinic in flagrant contradiction with what he preaches. The scandal and morbidity were served. Suzanne Somers was then revealed a very different truth: I had breast cancer, had undergone surgery and his visit to the center had nothing to do with improving its shape but with the application of restorative techniques in the affected area. And in the midst of the interview came the surprise.
Suzanne admitted that he had resigned to chemotherapy and was treated with Iscador, a homeopathic product characteristics derived from mistletoe. A Question of King stressed that it was an individual decision that no one wanted to move and pledged to attend the program when they met five years of treatment.
However, just four years later, in April 2005 – Somers returned to the program. “There is no sign of the disease, said. So here I am, with all my controversial decisions. (…) I decided to build. I opted for keeping hormonal balance with bioidentical hormones. And along with my doctor, Dr. Khalsa, a great doctor in Beverly Hills, holistic physician who practices Western medicine and Eastern-researched what to do.
Thus we find Iscador, a product of Anthroposophical Medicine by Rudolf Steiner that used clinically since 1920 with the same results as chemotherapy but without the side effects. ”
Iscador, preparation obtained from the European mistletoe is widely known in Germany, Austria and Switzerland where they use up to 60% of those who use natural products as monotherapy or to supplement their conventional treatments.
