Arlersheim, Switzerland.
Under the Mistletoe
Since 1919, Mistletoe treatment has been available in Switzerland thanks to the research efforts of Rudolph Steiner & Doctor Ita Wegman. In 1921, Ita Wegman founded the first Anthroposophical Medical Center, Klinik Arlesheim. Mistletoe therapy is widely used in Switzerland and Germany, alongside traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Mistletoe spreads
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is finally conducting the 1st Cancer Clinical Trial using Mistletoe in the U.S.. You can find out if you are eligible as a cancer patient to participate of this clinical trial. Due to the high level of interest in the study the foundation @believebig is helping to assess eligibility for the study in advance of a visit to Johns Hopkins. https://believebig.org/clinicaltrial/
Layering Mistletoe leaves on top of other plants is a repeat of the process that happens in nature. Mistletoe mixes and lives symbiotically with different plants. I resist the negative definition of a parasitic plant given to mistletoe because it is from this “collaboration” - growing on an apple tree, a pine or an oak tree - the potential imunotherapy qualities emerge in the mistletoe plant. This unique set of prints is now available.
Rudolf Steiner designed 17 buildings in Dornach, Switzerland that congregated a community of philosophers, scientists and artists. These structures were created by Steiner between 1908 and 1925, “while the dire storms of war have been surging through the world”, as he described. You can see a series of images of the Gotheanum and it’s grounds here.
