In a prospective two-year cohort study, anthroposophic therapies were followed by a reduction of chronic disease symptoms and improvement of quality of life. The purpose of this analysis was to describe health costs in users of anthroposophic therapies.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Citation in APA-7 format: Hamre, H. J., Witt, C.
