The Cost of the Mistletoe Preparation
The preparation is a separate cost from the consultation fee. It is ordered from a specialist pharmacy using the private prescription issued by Dr Kloppenburg. The cost depends on the brand, host-tree variant, and dose.
| Preparation | Approx. Monthly Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Iscador (Weleda AG) | £80–£130/month | Price varies by host-tree variant and dose series |
| Helixor (Helixor GmbH) | £85–£140/month | Price varies by host-tree variant and dose series |
| Abnoba Viscum (Abnoba GmbH) | £90–£150/month | Price varies by host-tree variant and dose series |
Prices are approximate and subject to change. Dr Kloppenburg will advise on the expected preparation cost for your specific prescription at the consultation.
NHS Access Routes
Mistletoe therapy is available through NHS pathways at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (RLHIM), where Dr Kloppenburg holds her NHS appointment as a Specialty Doctor. The RLHIM is the UK's largest NHS integrative medicine centre and accepts NHS referrals from GPs and oncologists.
NHS access is subject to referral criteria, clinical eligibility, and waiting times. For patients who wish to start mistletoe therapy promptly, or who do not meet NHS referral criteria, private consultation with Dr Kloppenburg is available with no waiting list. The private consultation pathway is the same clinical standard as the NHS pathway — the difference is access speed and the consultation format (remote versus in-person).
Ongoing Costs
Once the initial consultation is complete and the dose is established, the main ongoing cost is the preparation (approximately £80–£150 per month). Follow-up consultations are typically every 3–6 months once the dose is stable, which reduces the ongoing consultation cost significantly.
Mistletoe therapy is typically continued for the duration of active cancer treatment and for a period after treatment completion. The duration is reviewed at each follow-up consultation based on your clinical situation and response to therapy.

Does private health insurance cover mistletoe therapy?
