Mistletoe Therapy

Iscador® is Weleda's proprietary cancer treatment formulation derived directly from the mistletoe plant. Ninety years ago, Iscador® was first put to use in Switzerland. Today, thanks to ongoing scientific research and development, it is the most frequently used of all the mistletoe cancer treatments in the world.

One of the primary functions of Iscador® is that it stimulates parts of the immune system that can slow the growth of cancer cells and does so with very limited side effects. For this reason, it is often used in conjunction with conventional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Many patients treated with Iscador® report an improved quality of life, feeling better and more positive and in need of less pain relief.

Proper use of Iscador® requires the diagnostic, prescribing and patient management skills of your medical provider. Iscador® is available only by doctor's prescription and can be used to complement both conventional and alternative medicines.
