PAAM Medical Newsletter, Vol. 3(3) Part 2, May 28, 2016

Welcome to another edition of the PAAM Medical Newsletter. To both old and new members, a heartfelt thank you for joining and being a part of the anthroposophical medical movement! This issue 3 is part 2 of the topic of cancer and therapeutic use of anthroposophic mistletoe. As you may remember, issue 2 (part 1) reviewed many key lectures Steiner gave about cancer and its treatment with mistletoe. The issue also included a summary of the research on mistletoe use in cancer up to 2014. However, we were left with the impression that current research doesn't adequately support the high hopes Steiner had for properly prepared and administered mistletoe (Viscum album L.). This issue 3 will take up this impression and point to some potentially fruitful avenues of treatment and research. As the first issue mentioned, a certain degree of Micha-elic courage is necessary to go against some aspects of the dominant medical paradigm and begin anthroposophic medical treatment. This is especially true for cancer treatment.
