Here's the long story short....
Dr. Hinderberger - a Baltimore-based doctor who has treated our family before - recommended to one of his patients, who was battling liver cancer, a non-traditional treatment. Evidently, mistletoe (yes, from Christmas celebrations!) is used outside the US as a cancer treatment. Apparently, mistletoe is highly poisonous and semi-parasitic - a good substance to foil cancer's big plan. You can read all about the mistletoe treatment and success - yay! - in this article.
Who knew the plant we all kiss under during the Christmas holidays would be so powerful and life-saving?
Today I'm celebrating Dr. H, his patient (who started a fantastic non-profit from her experience), magical mistletoe and for open minded medical practices.
We need more of those...open minded medical practices.
Celebrating,
Jen
