Arriving Safely – What the Baby Needs

Information for parents on prevention in infancy

Last update: 14.10.2018

What is needed in the first months of a baby’s life for him to arrive safely and grow up? What can parents do to ensure that their child develops well? Vitamin D, fluoride—what makes sense? What do you do about teeth problems? How can caries be prevented? Good sleep—what does it require? How long do we breastfeed and when do we start the baby on solid foods? What does the child need for a healthy diet? How should he be carried?

Answers to these and many other important questions can be found in the following video contributions by the experienced pediatrician Dr. med. Christoph Meinecke.

Mistletoe therapy in addition to standard immunotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer indicates improved survival rates 
Immunotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors has significantly improved the survival rates of patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Results of a real-world data study (RWD) investigating the addition of Viscum album L. (VA) to chemotherapy have shown an association with improved survival in patients with NSCLC - regardless of age, degree of metastasis, performance status, lifestyle or oncological treatment. The mechanisms may include synergistic modulations of the immune response by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and VA. However, the results should be taken with caution due to the observational and non-randomised study design. The study has been published open access in Cancers:
