Anyone every tried mistletoe therapy

Hello. I am new to this forum — actually I am new to any forum. This is my first-ever post of this nature. I have had a lumpectomy and radiation and now I'm taking estrogen suppression medications for 5 years. I want to do whatever I can to ensure this cancer never returns.

Has anyone added mistletoe therapy to their treatment plan? I have heard mixed opinions about its effectiveness, especially for those of us who did not have to undergo chemo. Would appreciate advice or insights.

Thanks

    Isn't that what Suzanne Somers took? I could be wrong.

    Hi @kikiw714 and we're glad you found us here . Here is some information on Mistletoe from Memorial Sloan Kettering website: Mistletoe

    And, yes, indeed, Suzanne Somers publicly stated that she took mistletoe as part of her alternative cancer treatment for breast cancer. We believe, though uncertain, iIt was part of a broader range of treatments and therapies she explored, including conventional treatments like surgery and radiation. 

    Definitely consult with your treatment team before taking this, or any, supplement ❤️

    I know this is long past the original post but hoping to connect with other people considering Misteltoe Therapy. I'm doing many alternative therapies along with anastrazole and Verzenio. Just started the Mistletoe yesterday. but no real reaction which you are supposed to have. So I have to wait until my next injection next week to see if I do have a reaction. Would love to hear from people considering and or actually doing Mistletoe.

    Id really like like to connect with people trying alternative therapies but I might not be in the correct forum.
