Viscum album is used as a remedy for at least 2,000 years, nowadays
predominantly in complementary cancer therapy. Despite an obvious
discrepancy between the popularity of mistletoe extracts and their

"Rejected by clinical oncologists but used by practitioners and cancer patients, it is applied as a remedy to treat a broad spectrum of different diseases, such as epilepsy, diabetes, hypertension, arthrosis, hepatitis, HIV infection, labour pains, and cancer."1 Not for use by persons with protein hypersensitivity and chronic-progressive infections such as tuberculosis and AIDS.
