I recently tried mistletoe cream on some AKs and a BCC. There is also mistletoe in the form of injections which can be injected transdermally into a high-fat area of the body like the abdomen or buttocks, or injected right beside the tumor itself. As this is a topical forum I'll focus on the cream but I'll just state that I had the injections over a period of 10 months and noticed no real improvement in my nodular BCC although it did cause two Seborrheic Keratosis I had to flake off and they haven't come back. My blood PSA levels also reduced significantly so I may use it again for this purpose in the future if needed.
Back to the cream: the one I used is called Viscum Mali and comes from mistletoe grown on an apple tree (there are different types of mistletoe depending on which tree they're grown on) made by an Australian company called Southern Swan. I used it for several months mainly while I was also doing the injections and while it did remove a tiny AK that I'd had on my forehead for a couple of ýears it did very little if anything for my BCC or larger AKs.
My Anthroposophical doctor said that the mistletoe cream has worked for BCCs with some of his patients. He also said the injections rarely work for BCCs and other skin cancers and are much more effective on internal cancers but were worth trying. As I'm very interested in Anthroposophy I thought I'd give it a go and was pretty disappointed that neither the injections or cream worked for me. |
