Hello, Hope you all had a great weekend!! Aside from the snow on friday it was a great weekend. I am getting into knitting and have knit my first Hat!!! Yea Me!! It is beautiful and my 17 year old daughter said it was really good. That is the highest praise I can get. She said she would wear it! So Yeah! I wanted to talk a little about a treatment I am doing for my illness along with many other fun things. This one is to boost my immune system and it works great! It is European Mistletoe Extract. That's right Mistletoe as in Christmas as in kissing under the mistletoe.... It is one of the most widely used alternative medicine in Europe. It is injected in the skin subcutaneously and stimulates the immune system to activate more. It particularly activates the Natural Killer cells which specifically target cancer cells. Its efficacy is being tested today by the FDA to determine if it could be used in the US. It is currently only available through Canada for use in the US. It does have its side effects because let's just say it, it is a poison, but that is why it is administered in small doses under the skin to merely stimulate the immune system. I know it sounds scary but compared to chemo I am liking it!! I am doing it under the care and supervision of an awesome Naturopathic Doctor as well , Dr. Aaron Henkel. Go out and have a super day and appreciate the beauty and goodness around you!! Peace and Much Love, Leslie |
