Cancer rates are at an all-time high...
And while conventional treatments continue to advance, there are natural therapies being widely used in other parts of the world that remain underutilized in the United States.
One such therapy is mistletoe extract, a plant-based treatment that has been shown to support immune function and improve quality of life in cancer patients.
So on today’s Cabral Concept 3315, I want to dive into the latest research on mistletoe therapy, its potential benefits, and what the science really says about its role in integrative cancer care.
Enjoy!

Additional Research
✩ A 2016 meta-analysis of mistletoe therapy in advanced cancer patients (published in Cancer Medicine) found a statistically significant increase in overall survival for patients receiving mistletoe alongside conventional treatment.
✩A study in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies (2020) reported that mistletoe therapy improved tumor regression rates in advanced pancreatic cancer patients.
✩Another study in BMC Cancer (2018) showed that mistletoe treatment reduced neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment ("chemo brain”).
✩A 2016 study in PLoS One demonstrated that mistletoe extract caused apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells by upregulating the caspase pathway, a key regulator of cell death.
✩Another 2020 in-vitro study showed that mistletoe lectins suppressed tumor growth in breast and colon cancer cells by disrupting cancer cell metabolism.
✩A 2013 systematic review in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that mistletoe therapy enhanced immune function in cancer patients, leading to improved quality of life.
✩A 2014 study in Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology found that patients with stage IV lung cancer who received mistletoe therapy had significantly better symptom control and mood stability compared to those receiving conventional treatment alone.

Hi, I’m Stephen Cabral, Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and Integrative Health Practitioner.
For years I struggled with trying to figure out how to overcome multiple life-alternating illnesses such as auto-immune, Addisons, type 2 diabetes, digestive, allergies, insomnia, and debilitating fatigue.
Then I discovered a mentor who taught me how to combine and integrate multiple health practices into one. From there I tested these theories by traveling all around the world and discovering how to finally help people rebalance their bodies and live the life they always wanted.
I’m happy to say that after being shown the way and now creating my own proven protocols based on combining the best of ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with state-of-the-art Functional Medicine my team and I have completed over 250,000 appointments helping people just like you and I.
If you’re interested in getting well, losing weight, or living longer stronger, I look forward to helping you to accomplish those goals. Be well and please always reach out if you have any questions or if my team and I can be of service!
