Mistletoe therapy acts on many levels: On the one hand, it boosts the immune system by multiplying and activating the immune cells. On the other, mistletoe therapy can induce apoptosis (the process of natural cell death) in tumor cells which results in the inhibition of tumor growth. Healthy tissue is not adversely affected by this. On the contrary: Immune cells and other healthy cells are protected against further injury, e.g. damage caused by cytostatic drugs. Patients report that mistletoe therapy significantly improves their quality of life.
For example:
• Improved general well-being
• Less fatigue, especially during and after chemotherapy
• Less nausea
• Improved appetite
• Less pain sensation, so fewer painkillers and sedatives are needed
• Less frequent depressive moods
This mode of action makes mistletoe therapy a key supplement to standard oncological therapy.
