• selects the right type of mistletoe for your individual situation and type of tumor, and
• explains how to use it.
You can then carry out the therapy yourself at home.
The first application
As part of mistletoe therapy, you inject the mistletoe extract under your skin (subcutaneously). A fold of skin on the stomach or thigh is best. The injection is usually given 3 times per week.
Duration of mistletoe therapy
Long-term use over several months is recommended so that mistletoe therapy has lasting effects. After the adjustment period, there are breaks of several weeks between injection times during which those affected do not inject. The therapy is well tolerated and easy to use.
Side effects of the therapy: This is how the body reacts to mistletoe.
The body often shows the following reactions to mistletoe therapy:
• reddened injection site (sometimes with swelling or itching)
• slight increase in body temperature (0.5 to 1 degree Celsius)
The body's signs (local reactions) are harmless and even desirable. They show the activity of the immune system, it is working. If you get a fever over 38 degrees Celsius or notice severe redness at the injection site that is more than 5 centimeters in diameter, you should not inject the next dose of mistletoe. If you have allergic reactions such as hives, facial swelling or shortness of breath, contact your doctor.

In addition, reimbursement of costs is possible if the therapy is used to mitigate severe side effects of chemotherapy (such as cancer-related fatigue syndrome). As a prerequisite for this, patients need a doctor's prescription with a health insurance prescription.
