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.
