“…Very few of the thousands of CAM have been studied for safety and efficacy. VAE was first used for cancer therapy over a 100 years ago as a part of Anthroposophic Medicine [21][22][23][24]. Gradually, over a century, numerous in vitro, in vivo and human studies have been published.…”

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer with a high incidence of recurrence and poor prognosis even with the full spectrum of standard oncology treatments. Ever since its introduction about 100 years ago for cancer therapy, mistletoe viscum album extract (VAE) has been widely used in Europe as a popular complementary therapy for many cancers. We present a case of a patient diagnosed with stage 3c (T3N3bM0(i+)) TNBC who declined chemotherapy after a recurrence 2 years later. The patient received subcutaneous, intratumoral as well as intravenous VAE therapy for her recurrence. Her breast masses and lymph node sizes dramatically decreased under ultrasound examination within 2 months. After nearly three years since the tumor resolution, she is currently being managed on weekly subcutaneous VAE as well as intravenous VAE once in 6-8 weeks. She has excellent quality of life, no sign of tumor recurrence or other adverse side effects from her treatments. Though we believe the best outcomes in oncology are by integrating complementary and conventional care together, this case shows that VAE can have standalone effectiveness at least in some cases. Use of VAE to augment conventional treatments should be considered to bolster breast cancer care.

“…Ennek ellenkezője mentette meg a hagyományos keleti (kínai, mongol, tibeti, japán, ájurvédikus) gyógyászatokat, az angolszász-germán országokban elterjedt antropozófus orvoslást és a homeopátiát, melyek hazánkban is sok más országhoz hasonlóan csakis orvosdoktori diploma birtokában végezhetők. Mindegyik említett rendszer hajlandó volt a megújulásra, együttműködésre az evidenciákon alapuló terápiás irányelvek alkalmazása és a kontrollált, tudományos igényű vizsgálatok elvégzése terén, miközben az elavult ismereteket orvostörténelmi szintre hátrasorolták [46]. Amennyiben megmaradtak volna évszázados nézeteikben, a hagyományos gyógyászatok a mai napig is reklinálnák az elszürkült lencsét, azonban a gyorsabb és előnyösebb phacoemulsificatiót végzik a hagyományos kínai orvoslás szemészei is.…”
