anyone with experience with this therapy. im starting this next month and heard it was realy good against chemo side effects, also helps the immune system and gives you a feel good exprience.
im living in germany so the health insurance pays this , apart from the first blood test they have to check to give me the correct mistletoe, apparently ther are 40 different types and without the blood check the chances of success are only 5%, and with 90%: costs 140 euro.

nossacrs, I have heard about mistletoe but I cannot remember where or what. I do know the mistletoe is toxic. However, it seems like you and your medical team are taking appropriate steps to ensure the correct type of mistletoe and the correct dosage for you.

Keep us informed. I am very interested in how it works and what it does.
