Keep Mistletoe and other natural treatments on the NHS

This petition was published by Debbie Brewer on Jul 12, 2010

Many cancer patients have been taking mistletoe in the fight against Mesothelioma, a cancer most commonly caused by asbestos and many other illnesses.

We was very disappointed to hear that the government is going to scrap funding for mistletoe and other natural treatments on the NHS. We the undersigned are not happy with this decision. A lot of the remedies used are shown to work, not only in treating the patient but also giving a quality of life that most conventional treatments don't give.

Cancer patients and many other patients with different illnesses should not have to struggle to pay for natural treatments. Many of them have paid into the government coffers via their NHS subscriptions and don't ask a lot from anyone. Many who are ill are already struggling financially and their medications are very important to them and their families. all this will do is add more stress to an already stressed up person.

We hope that the government can look into supporting patients who have found their treatment works, even in a psychological way, please don't remove what little hope and faith patients have. Mesothelioma has very little open to it that helps patients, taking mistletoe away from these patients is cruel and heartless.
