mistletoe is a "parasitic" plant ... it usually settles on trees that are already unhealthy and usually are dying or even dead anyway. .... it is poisonous but some believe it's medicinal as well (nearly always it's the poisonous things that are medicinal) ... even suzanne sommers used it in place of chemo for breast cancer, after having surgery and radiation ...

[tammyfana]

that was awesome!

[oceanluv88]

I knew it was parasitic, but I always thought it was poisonous to humans and animals. I would check it out before I ingested any of it

Jose needs a chainsaw. I trim trees with a handsaw and that is alot of work.
