Dr Elizabeth Thompson extols the virtues of mistletoe as a therapeutic agent for cancer, offering a broad range of benefits.

Mistletoe is reputed to be the most widely used unconventional therapy in cancer care, a popularity it has attracted through its reputation for providing a broad spectrum of support. In recent years, the evidence base to support its clinical use has built steadily, and with an exemplary safety record and broad relevance right across cancer care, it looks set to become even more widely used. Dr Thompson has a background that includes homeopathy and Anthroposophical Medicine (from which mistletoe emerged as a strategy for cancer), and has long experience of its use in cancer care. The National Centre for Integrative Medicine (NCIM) that she founded a decade ago runs a service providing mistletoe therapy to patients.
