What Is H.E.L.P. Apheresis Therapy?
Suffering from Long Covid, Post-Covid, Post-Vac Syndrome or a chronic illness? Therapeutic Apheresis can help. H.E.L.P. Apheresis (Heparin-induced Extracorporeal LDL Precipitation) is a specialised form of plasma exchange (plasmapheresis).
Also known as extracorporeal blood cleansing, or blood cleansing that takes place outside the body, this blood plasma treatment removes harmful cells, chemicals and disease-forming proteins from your blood.
Examples include LDL or “bad” cholesterol, lipoproteins, fibrinogen, triglycerides and inflammatory substances such as cytokines. Highly effective as a Long Covid cure and many others, LDL Apheresis is your chance to enjoy restored health and wellness once again.

Patient Testimonials and Real Stories
Edward Nicol, Écosse, Lyme, Babesia, Long Covid
After several weeks, Eddie left our island without any results or benefit of the treatments (Combination Therapy with H.E.L.P. Apheresis) and both the team and him were devastated. But then shortly after he arrived home, day by day, he started to get better in small incremental steps until 3 months later he now is almost symptom free! Sometimes recovery takes time, patience and trust as he says. And Eddie is not the only patient with a recovery timeline like that – very often it takes weeks and months so the gradual improvements add up to a bigger result and benefit.
Arthur Ferencei, Royaume-Uni, Long Covid
Avant son séjour au centre d'aphérèse, il traversait une véritable crise d'identité car il n'était plus en mesure d'étudier.
The great news – he is back to being a MIT student – Grade A again!
Krisztina Koncsek, Hongrie, Post Vac et Long Covid
3 semaines après sa vaccination, Krisztina a eu une syncope pendant une séance de tennis. Il n'y a pas eu de traumatisme cardiaque aigu, mais après plusieurs examens, une cardiomyopathie a été diagnostiquée. Après avoir semblé se rétablir en partie, elle a développé un POTS, de la fatigue et de légers symptômes gastro-intestinaux.
Après deux infections au Covid, sa situation s'est aggravée avec une fatigue sévère et un POTS sévère, ses problèmes d'histamine ont commencé et l'apparition d'engourdissements et de maux de tête a fait son apparition.
En octobre 2023, elle s'est retrouvée alitée d'un jour à l'autre, avec une très grande fatigue, des insomnies, des douleurs gastro-intestinales, des douleurs à l'estomac, des symptômes semblables à ceux de la neuropathie et des sensations d'inflammation. Ses médecins traitants ont déclaré qu'il s'agissait d'un problème psychologique, car tous ses examens de laboratoire se sont révélés corrects.
When she arrived the last week of May at the Apheresis Center, she had 35 (!) severe symptoms. Today, beginning of July there are almost no symptoms left, with moderate MCAS being the main symptom to work on. During the video she surprised Markus – she is moving to Cyprus in October – being sunlight-tolerant again after treatment will definitely help there!
Marko Zivanovic, Serbie, Long Covid
Marko parle de son expérience à Chypre, dans notre clinique de Larnaca, de l'aide que lui a apportée Dianna pour le transport et l'hébergement, et des avantages qu'il a trouvés à être traité sur notre île. En ajoutant l'hyperthermie du corps entier et des protocoles nutraceutiques (Senolytica et Antivirals) à ses traitements d'aphérèse H.E.L.P. , nous avons cherché à réduire le coût et la durée (10 jours seulement !) de son traitement. Cette expérience fonctionnera-t-elle ? L'avenir nous le dira lorsque nous nous entretiendrons avec Marko dans quelques mois, nous pourrions alors disposer d'une ébauche pour de futures études de cas. Nous avons obtenu quelques premiers résultats, mais il est encore trop tôt pour tirer des conclusions significatives.
Donna Picton, Australie, Long Covid
Fatigue, Post Excertional Malaise, Brainfog, Tinnitus, MCAS, Anxiety, Persisting EBV to just name a few of the symptoms that brought her to our clinic. On 3rd of November 2023 Donna started her therapy course at our Apheresis Center in Larnaca, Cyprus, on 28th December 2023 she said: ‘I am fully cured, no longer have Long Covid and am back to 100%’. What we called ‘unicorns’ back in 2021 and 2022, we see now more and more often – Combination Therapy with H.E.L.P. Apheresis is fully curative for a substantial group/subset of Long Covid and Post Vac sufferers.

Marko Zivanovic, Serbie, Long Covid
Anna came to our clinic in August 2023. She was not sure if she would be a patient who would respond to treatment as she had had post-viral MECFS for 11 years and no treatment had worked before. Now, half a year later, she is living a completely different life – she can sit as long as she likes, stand as long as she likes, do as much housework as she likes, no more stairs that cause her to collapse for days.
La nouvelle force de ses pieds et le fait qu'ils ne soient plus bleus l'étonnent encore chaque jour.

“H.E.L.P. Apheresis is the most powerful treatment of the [Long Covid or Post-Vac Syndrome] condition so far, from everything we have… [And] adding combination therapy, we are seeing better results and faster improvements.” — Dr Irina Pavlik Marangos“[The H.E.L.P. Apheresis] machine exists for almost 40 years. We traditionally used them to treat high-risk patients with coronary heart disease who have suffered several myocardial infarctions or being heart transplanted. [The machines] remove excess damaging stuff from the blood and they do it in a harmonised manner so it does no harm to the patients.” — Dr Beate Jaeger

Frequently Asked Questions
Please email us at info@apheresiscenter.eu if you cannot find an answer to your question
Therapeutic Apheresis removes harmful components from your plasma such as fibrinogen, LDL cholesterol, inflammatory cytokines, immune complexes, microclots and, in some cases, autoantibodies. This helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation and lower immune dysregulation.
Some patients report noticeable improvements after just one to two sessions, especially in symptoms like brain fog, breathlessness, circulation and fatigue. For others, it may take four to six sessions to observe significant and sustained benefits.
H.E.L.P. Apheresis specifically targets inflammatory and pro-thrombotic substances without removing all plasma proteins or relying on donor replacement fluids. It filters blood with heparin-induced precipitation, making it more precise, less taxing and more effective for conditions like Long Covid and autoimmune inflammation. Read more on our blog about how different Apheresis types compare.
Yes, patients with blood pressure issues can typically receive treatment, but it is closely monitored. Our medical team adjusts protocols, hydration and infusion rates accordingly to ensure stability before, during and after the session.
We treat adults and occasionally adolescents based on thorough case assessment. There is a minimum weight of 30kg+, but younger patients are reviewed on a case-by-case basis with parental consent and paediatrician collaboration.
Most patients undergo a core protocol of five to eight sessions, typically at two per week. Your exact plan is tailored to your diagnostic profile and response to the treatment.
The duration of a treatment session depends on the therapy. For example, H.E.L.P. Apheresis can last from 2.5 to 3 hours, Inuspheresis or Immunoadsorption can last from 3 to 4 hours and IV Therapy can proceed for 45 minutes up to 1.5 hours. Factors that affect the duration include symptom severity, treatment type and whether combination protocols are used.
The treatment is minimally invasive. It involves an IV cannula (or catheter in some cases), and patients are monitored throughout. Some experience slight chills or tiredness afterward, but serious discomfort is rare.
Yes. It’s part of our Combination Therapy Protocol, which often includes IV nutrients, hyperthermia, immunoabsorption, nutraceuticals and medication support. Treatments are safely sequenced and adapted to your lab results.
As with any blood filtration therapy, there are minor risks such as bruising, fatigue, low blood pressure or temporary electrolyte imbalances. Severe complications are extremely rare due to the closed-loop and heparin-based system of H.E.L.P. Apheresis.
It depends on your country and provider. We assist patients with detailed documentation to support insurance reimbursement requests.
Recovery usually involves gentle pacing, hydration, light nutrition and supportive coaching. Our health coaching and nutrition team provides post-session strategies to stabilise and sustain your improvements.

Vejon International Expert Conference – Hidden Drivers of Post Covid Dysfunction
Notre cofondateur Markus Klotz a pris la parole lors d'une table ronde très intéressante sur l'impact durable de COVID - en se penchant sur les dysfonctionnements persistants du système immunitaire, du microbiome, des mitochondries et de la coagulation.
Pour la première fois, certains des plus grands scientifiques, cliniciens et chercheurs du monde ont été réunis pour explorer les facteurs cachés à l'origine du Long COVID et des syndromes post-vaccinaux. Le Dr Philip McMillan était l'hôte de cet événement. Comme nous, il est convaincu que nous sommes confrontés à une crise médicale complexe et évolutive qui exige un dialogue ouvert, une science rigoureuse et, surtout, une collaboration. Ce que vous allez lire et voir est une synthèse puissante de discussions en panel et d'un échange en table ronde qui approfondit les mécanismes de la persistance des protéines de pointe, du dysfonctionnement mitochondrial, des anomalies de la coagulation et de l'effondrement du microbiome.
