Reviews of combined clinical trials

Reviews have looked at the effects of mistletoe on quality of life, survival, and symptom relief in different types of cancer:

Quality of life was measured in a review that included 26 randomized clinical trials. Of these, 22 trials showed patients had improved quality of life. Chemotherapy-related fatigue, nausea and vomiting, depression, emotional well-being, and concentration improved. All 10 nonrandomized, controlled clinical trials reviewed also reported the same benefits.

Tumor response, quality of life, and psychological distress were measured in a review of 21 randomized clinical trials in patients with different types of cancer. Mistletoe extracts were used either alone, with chemotherapy, or with radiation therapy. Most of the studies reported benefits for patients.

Quality of life and survival were measured in a review of 10 randomized clinical trials which used mistletoe extracts in patients with different types of cancer. There was no difference in survival or quality of life measures in patients who received mistletoe compared to those who did not.

Selenium (with zinc and magnesium)

Has been found to be rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties all of which may help in protecting against chronic diseases.

It is an essential part of various cellular processes, A study published in Biology and Human Health has shown that normal intake of this mineral might result in a decrease of cancerous cell formation, especially in regard to prostate, colorectal, and lung cancers.

A 2013 review study in the Nutrients journal, showed that in addition to its potential as a cancer preventative agent, selenium may also prove to be an anti-metastatic element, thus aiding in the later stages of cancer progression

Benefits

• • Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that fights oxidative stress and may help defend the body from chronic diseases, such as heart disease.
  • Higher blood levels of selenium may prevent certain cancers, while supplementing with selenium may help improve quality of life in people undergoing radiation therapy.
  • Selenium may help keep your heart healthy by keeping oxidative stress in check and reducing the risk of coronary artery disease.

• A diet rich in selenium may help prevent mental decline and improve memory loss in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
• Selenium protects the thyroid gland from oxidative stress and is necessary for thyroid hormone production. Selenium may be helpful for people with Hashimoto’s disease and other types of thyroid disease, but more research is needed.
• Selenium is crucial for the health and proper functioning of the immune system. Higher levels of selenium may be beneficial for boosting the immune system in patients with HIV, influenza, tuberculosis and hepatitis C.
• Selenium may be beneficial for people with asthma due to its ability to lower inflammation in the body. However, more research is needed.
• Foods rich in selenium include seafood, nuts and mushrooms. It is important to consume a variety of foods that contain this mineral since selenium content can vary depending on growing conditions
