what is photodynamic therapy?

Photodynamic therapy is a pioneering light treatment that is offered at the Hufeland Klinik in Bad Mergenheim, Germany, as an alternative means of curing cancer. The clinic treats late stage cancers of all natures and those who have otherwise been considered incurable.This treatment is currently unavailable in the UK.

The first aim of the therapy is to detoxify the body and to strengthen the defense mechanisms and patient's whole condition. The second aim in the therapy is to try to stop tumour growth and then to reduce it; the third aim is to prolong the patient's life and to improve the quality of life.

For Jo, this therapy will be combined with a totally organic diet and an anthroposophic medicine called Iscador, which is a major prescription against solid tumours in Germany and Switzerland, but difficult to acquire in the UK.
