4) controlled studies, randomized prospectively made are expensive and complicated. The research is funded or mistletoe just what was never publicly funded. The funding of existing trials was achieved mainly by contributions from the producers of this drug. And these laboratories, for its small size, have-not unlike the large multinational pharmaceutical-huge research budgets to make possible the kind of studies required by the official Oncology.
In addition, oncologists have preferred to give up a first-order therapeutic tool compatible with conventional treatments and ignore the scientific literature that explains the use of mistletoe is translated into improved survival, a substantial improvement in the quality of life and greater tolerance to cytotoxic treatments.

The mistletoe extract drugs have become the most prescribed of all those in Oncology. Its prescription is not unique for anthroposophic doctors also apply equally colleagues traditional and complementary medical.

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.
