Download or read book Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology written by Stephen Johnson. This book was released on 2023-05-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many allopathic medical practitioners are beginning to seek out a greater connection with holistic and integrative approaches. The authors of this book introduce one specific therapy and make a case for integrative health in general, including anthroposophically extended medicine, naturopathy, and other holistic approaches. Mistletoe therapy has long been considered a viable treatment for cancer by the European medical community and is beginning to gain recognition in North America, as well. The mistletoe plant possesses many remarkable properties. As a therapy, it represents a rediscovery of ancient wisdom and shows us how the science of modern medicine might expand its reach and reconnect with a more human-centered medicine. The book is structured to follow the syllabus of a three-day practitioner training hosted by the Physicians' Association for Anthroposophic Medicine (PAAM). It serves as an introductory summary of - not a replacement for-those intensive professional trainings. While this book should not be regarded as a treatment or diagnostic manual, it is intended to both prepare practitioners to begin mistletoe therapy training and to make this information available, in an accessible form, to anyone interested in learning about this approach to treating cancer.
