We are now seeing more and more patients who have had Long Covid or Post Vac Syndrome for 3 years (I can’t imagine what that must be like – I only had it for one year and it was the worst thing I have ever experienced).
Ma di recente sono successe così tante cose e ne stanno venendo fuori così tante che, anche se i sistemi medici non offrono ancora molto a chi soffre di Long Covid e Post Vac, sono davvero convinta che ci stiamo muovendo nella giusta direzione.
Perché? Perché i progressi che abbiamo fatto e le cose che ora capiamo della malattia sono enormi rispetto a uno o due anni fa.
In particular, combination therapy – our ‘Cyprus Protocol’ – has progressed to a point I never thought possible!
We now have 3 physical treatments (Help Apheresis, HBOT, Cryo Therapy) and countless drug based therapies (IVs, drug protocols, stellate ganglion blocks) that when combined and individually adapted to the symptoms/subsets of the disease (be careful – this is not a sticker album thing – more is not better here – it is all about timing and balance) give patients results we never thought possible.
Le faccio un esempio. Se un anno fa mi aveste detto che avremmo trattato i pazienti per 12 mesi (1 mese sull'isola, 11 mesi in telemedicina) nei casi più gravi, non vi avrei creduto, perché pensavamo che dopo 6 mesi dall'ultimo trattamento si sarebbero visti tutti i risultati ottenuti e che dopo sarebbe stato molto difficile ottenere miglioramenti. Ebbene, ci sbagliavamo! Da quando abbiamo aggiunto la Terapia Combinata, si tratta di 3-6 settimane in clinica con protocolli di aferesi + trattamenti endovenosi + farmaci e, per alcuni pazienti, di HBOT/Cryo Therapy per altre settimane. Ma per quasi tutti utilizziamo protocolli farmacologici per 12 mesi dopo il trattamento via telemedicina (MCAS, anticoagulazione, antivirali, danni endoteliali, ecc.). E i risultati sono eccezionali.
Science is slowly (very slowly – that’s the nature of science) catching up with clinical developments in some areas. Here are my favourite examples:
– At the ISFA World Conference (International Society for Apheresis), Dr. Gunnar J. Bücker, Dr. Marcella Bürkner, Dr. Lutz Fricke and Prof. Christel Weiß presented their treatment results with Help Apheresis for Long Covid and they were very much in line with what we see in our clinical experience: 80% of our patients improve significantly (and this is Help Apheresis ‘only’ without Combination Therapy)
– 2 case studies about Help Apheresis for Long Covid have been published in the last two months, a large one (click here) and a smaller one (click here).
– And another thing that made me very happy (because it shows we have chosen the right core treatment for our Combination Therapy/The Cyprus Protocol) was the Eureka Health Poll that included 35,000 reports on Long Covid and H.E.L.P. Apheresis came out as the most effective Long Covid treatment in first place of all available treatments: https://twitter.com/EurekaHealthApp/status/1638345659144347651?s=20
For those of you that prefer videos to text, we have come up with a whole page of Help Apheresis and Combination Therapy videos – interviews, testimonials, guided tours and treatment videos: https://apheresiscenter.eu/apheresis-center-videos
