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.

Our minimally invasive procedure involves just four simple steps. Here’s our quick and easy step-by-step guide of what to expect:

  1. Our expert team will set you up comfortably and gently draw blood from your vein.
  2. Plasma is then separated and treated with heparin to bind pathogens and assist with heparin adsorption.
  3. Pathogens are removed and plasma pH is restored.
  4. The plasma exchange takes place and purified plasma is returned to your body.

Patient Testimonials and Real Stories

إدوارد نيكول، اسكتلندا، لايم، بابيسيا، لونج كوفيد

Eddie was suffering from Lyme disease and Babesia but was able to’ live a relatively normal life with some restrictions’ but then Long Covid brought on Fatigue, Post Excertional Malaise, Brainfog, MCAS, Muscle Pain, Noise Sensitivity and other symptoms.

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.

آرثر فيرينسي، المملكة المتحدة، لونج كوفيد

MIT Student Arthur Ferencei’s hopes and expectations were exceeded by our Long COVID treatments. Arthur comes from a family of doctors, his father is a nephrologist. His symptoms (MCAS, fatigue, PEM, dizziness, insomnia, cognitive dysfunction, brainfog and others) were unbearable for 2 years – now 4 months after combination therapy he is at 85% and still improving.

قبل مكوثه في مركز أبهيريسيس كان يمر بأزمة هوية حقيقية لأنه لم يعد قادرًا على الدراسة.

The great news – he is back to being a MIT student – Grade A again!

كريشتينا كونتشيك، هنغاريا، بوست فاك ولونج كوفيد

بعد 3 أسابيع من تلقيها التطعيم أصيبت كريشتينا بإغماء أثناء جلسة تنس، ولم تكن هناك صدمة قلبية حادة، ولكن بعد عدة فحوصات تم تشخيص اعتلال عضلة القلب. وبعد أن بدا أنها تعافت جزئياً أصيبت بمتلازمة متلازمة ما بعد الصدمة القلبية الحادة والتعب وأعراض الجهاز الهضمي الخفيفة.

بعد إصابتين لاحقتين بفيروس كوفيد تفاقمت حالتها إلى إرهاق شديد ومتلازمة التعب الشديد، وبدأت مشاكل الهيستامين لديها وبداية الخدر والصداع.

في أكتوبر 2023 من يوم إلى آخر أصبحت ملازمة الفراش من يوم لآخر، مع إرهاق شديد جدًا وأرق وألم في الجهاز الهضمي وألم في المعدة وأعراض تشبه الاعتلال العصبي والشعور بالالتهاب. قال الأطباء المعالجون لها إن الأمر نفسي، لأن جميع فحوصاتها المخبرية جاءت سليمة.

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!

 يتحدث ماركو عن تجربته في قبرص في عيادتنا في لارنكا، ومدى مساعدة ديانا من قسم دعم السفر له في النقل والإقامة والمزايا التي وجدها في العلاج في جزيرتنا. بإضافة بروتوكولات فرط الحرارة للجسم بالكامل وبروتوكولات المغذيات (سينوليتيكا ومضادات الفيروسات) إلى علاجه H.E.L.P. الفصادة التي كان يخضع لها كنا نهدف إلى تقليل التكلفة والمدة (10 أيام فقط!) من دورة علاجه. هل ستنجح هذه التجربة؟ سيخبرنا الوقت عندما نتحدث إلى ماركو بعد بضعة أشهر من الآن قد يكون لدينا مسودة لدراسات الحالة المستقبلية. لقد حققنا بعض النتائج الأولية، ولكن لا يزال الوقت مبكراً جداً للوصول إلى استنتاجات ذات مغزى.

دونا بيكتون ، أستراليا ، لونغ كوفيد

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.

ماركو زيفانوفيتش، صربيا، لونج كوفيد

 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.

والقوة الجديدة في قدميها وحقيقة أنها لم تعد زرقاء لا تزال تدهشها كل يوم.

“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

What exactly is removed from my blood during therapeutic Apheresis?

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.

How quickly can I see improvements after therapeutic Apheresis treatment?

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.

What makes H.E.L.P. Apheresis different from standard plasma exchange (plasmapheresis)?

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.

Can I have Apheresis if I have high or low blood pressure?

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.

Do you treat children with Long COVID or chronic illness?

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.

How many sessions will I likely need?

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.

How long does one treatment session last?

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.

Is the treatment painful or uncomfortable?

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.

Can therapeutic Apheresis be combined with other therapies safely?

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.

Are there risks or potential complications with therapeutic Apheresis?

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.

Will my insurance cover the cost of therapeutic Apheresis treatments?

It depends on your country and provider. We assist patients with detailed documentation to support insurance reimbursement requests.

What should I expect during recovery and aftercare?

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.
