La coppia di sposi Blessed e Treasure Stedfast, Nuova Zelanda, Long Covid e Post-Vac

In most affected families (of spike protein induced illnesses) only one side of the family is affected by Long Covid or Post-Vac. The Stedfasts whilst being blessed with 5 children, of which they took 3 with them on a journey half around the world – New Zealand to Cyprus, were unlucky enough to both be affected severely. But thanks god the tides turned once they arrived in Cyprus. When they left our clinic and island a few weeks later they had their old life back – listen to their inspiring story how even a 32 hours non-stop journey whilst being sick with Long Covid and Post-Vac could not stop them from getting their life back! 

Cheri Gouret, Spagna, Long Covid e malattia di Lyme

Overcoming Lyme and Long Covid within 6 weeks – Cheri Gouret’s story is inspiring. How much she improved and how happiness returned to her life you can also read and watch here in our blog: https://apheresiscenter.eu/blog/five-lives-part-two-changing-lives-lyme-recovery


John Morgenthaler, Stati Uniti, Malattia di Lyme

 John Morgenthaler è un esperto di droghe e integratori intelligenti e ha scritto un bestseller internazionale sull'argomento. Da 25 anni soffre di Lyme, che attraverso Covid si è trasformata in un mix di Lyme e Long Covid che gli ha reso la vita insopportabile. John, che è un personaggio divertente e intelligente, ci racconta con le sue parole come ha vissuto la sua guarigione e perché è venuto all'Aferesi a Cipro.

Bryan Mackenzie e Frank Ives, Long Covid, USA

Bryan e Frank di San Diego sono rimasti nella nostra clinica per quasi 7 settimane.

L'elenco dei sintomi era lungo per Bryan Mackenzie al suo arrivo: Stanchezza grave, PEM, ansia, depressione, malessere, mancanza di respiro, oppressione toracica, nebbia cerebrale, attivazione dei mastociti (MCAS), palpitazioni, tremori, vertigini, sensibilità al rumore, alla luce e al calore. 

Frank Ives aveva problemi cardiaci con palpitazioni, vertigini, giramenti di testa e dolori al petto e al cuore, oltre ad ansia e attacchi di panico.

Entrambi hanno seguito una terapia combinata multimodale con H.E.L.P. aferesi, trattamento endovenoso, terapia nutraceutica e terapia rTMS/chetamina.

Durante la loro permanenza, inoltre, hanno potuto constatare che 8 su 10 dei loro compagni di degenza si sono ripresi allo stesso modo.

Prima di arrivare a Cipro avevano visitato numerosi medici e cliniche rinomate, ma non erano riusciti a trovare aiuto.

Now they both are spreading the word to help creating awareness amongst medical providers and patients that Long Covid and Post-Vac as well as other chronic illness is treatable and not a ‘mysterious condition for which no treatments exist’.

Mia B. Norvegia, Long Covid

 Like  many of us Long Covid sufferers Mia was going through different phases of Long Covid. She initially thought she had overcome a large part of  the illness, just to then horribly crash again and being close to being  bedridden again after 2,5 years since the onset of her symptoms. Unable to socialise or work she took a leap of faith and flew to the  Apheresis Center in Cyprus for treatment. But as she she works with data, she trusted the data-driven scientific process that our treatment protocols are based on. You can see all her short videos here


Rune S., Danimarca, Long Covid

In questa conversazione con Markus Klotz, Rune ci racconta la storia di come ha ritrovato la sua vita presso la nostra clinica con l'aferesi e la terapia combinata H.E.L.P. . Soffriva di una lunga serie di sintomi insopportabili, tra cui stanchezza cronica, mal di testa, pressione toracica, insonnia e difficoltà respiratorie, solo per citarne alcuni. Ascoltate la sua storia emozionante di come ha scoperto la nostra clinica di Long Covid grazie al passaparola, ha deciso di volare qui a Cipro e ha ripreso la sua vita dopo la guarigione.

Robyn Bennett, Australia, Long Covid

Quando Robyn è arrivata 6 settimane prima della registrazione di questo video, non sarebbe stata in grado di rilasciare un'intervista. Soffriva di sensibilità al rumore, sensibilità al movimento, intolleranza al calore, affaticamento, PEM, attacchi di panico, insonnia, nebbia cerebrale, depressione e dermatite, vertigini, MCAS/IBS, pressione toracica, mal di testa, solo per citare i sintomi principali. 

Ora, a un mese e mezzo, tutti i sintomi sono letteralmente scomparsi, tranne l'affaticamento quando si sforza. La nostra diagnostica molecolare ha però rilevato una persistenza della proteina Spike nelle sue cellule immunitarie, per cui le prossime settimane le terapie saranno rivolte a questo aspetto e ci aspettiamo che anche questo si risolva nel giro di pochi mesi. Robyn e suo marito Anthony sono entusiasti di aver ritrovato la sua vita e con l'aiuto della nostra Nutrizionista Clinica Chryso e della nostra Health Coach Tanja stanno ottimizzando ulteriormente i risultati nei prossimi mesi!

Krisztina Koncsek, Ungheria, Post Vac e Long Covid

3 settimane dopo la vaccinazione, Krisztina ha avuto una sincope durante una sessione di tennis; non c'è stato alcun trauma cardiaco acuto, ma dopo diversi esami è stata diagnosticata una cardiomiopatia. Dopo un parziale recupero, ha sviluppato POTS, affaticamento e lievi sintomi gastrointestinali.

Dopo due successive infezioni da Covid è peggiorata fino a diventare gravemente affaticata e gravemente affetta da POTS, sono iniziati i problemi di istamina e la comparsa di intorpidimento e cefalea.

Nell'ottobre 2023, da un giorno all'altro, è stata costretta a letto, con affaticamento molto grave, insonnia, dolori gastrointestinali, dolori allo stomaco, sintomi simili alla neuropatia e sensazioni di infiammazione. I suoi medici curanti hanno detto che si tratta di un problema psicologico, perché tutti i suoi esami di laboratorio sono risultati corretti.

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, Serbia, Long Covid

 Marko parla della sua esperienza a Cipro presso la nostra clinica di Larnaca, di quanto sia stata utile Dianna dell'assistenza al viaggio per il trasporto e l'alloggio e dei vantaggi che ha riscontrato nell'essere curato sulla nostra isola. Aggiungendo l'ipertermia per tutto il corpo e i protocolli nutraceutici (senolitici e antivirali) ai suoi trattamenti di aferesi H.E.L.P. , abbiamo cercato di ridurre i costi e la durata (solo 10 giorni!) del suo percorso di cura. Questo esperimento funzionerà? Il tempo ce lo dirà quando, tra qualche mese, parleremo con Marko e potremmo avere una bozza per futuri casi di studio. Abbiamo ottenuto alcuni primi risultati, ma è ancora troppo presto per trarre conclusioni significative.

Edward Nicol, Scozia, Lyme, Babesia, Long Covid

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.

La sua testimonianza completa è riportata di seguito

Donna Picton, Australia, 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. 

Here short testimonial ‘2 minutes about 2 months that reversed 2 years: Cured from Long Covid through H.E.L.P. Apheresis and Combination Therapy’ you find further below


Marko Zivanovic, Serbia, 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 nuova forza dei suoi piedi e il fatto che non siano più blu la stupiscono ancora ogni giorno.

Arthur Ferencei, Regno Unito, Long Covid

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.

Prima del suo soggiorno al Centro di Aferesi, stava attraversando una vera e propria crisi di identità, poiché non era più in grado di studiare.

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

Mélène Guévremont, Disabilità post-vac e associata ai fluorochinoloni, Australia

Melene è arrivata con il suo scooter per disabili, che le serviva anche per andare da una stanza all'altra.

Il danno post-vaccino che ha sperimentato subito dopo la somministrazione, le ha dato la costante sensazione che il suo corpo bruciasse in continuazione, sintomi di affaticamento, PEM, vertigini, nebbia cerebrale, sensibilità al calore/alla luce/alle sostanze chimiche, MCAS con malassorbimento e molti altri.

Despite her not having a long period of stay at our clinic – it is hard to leave two little kids for long with the grandparents – and ‘only’ 4 Help Apheresis sessions, she regained her ability to walk! Other symptoms improved or vanished.

We also made a little BEFORE & AFTER video of her being able to walk here

Liz Jelley, 15 anni, Long Covid, Scozia

 Liz (Elizabeth o anche chiamata Lizzie) Jelley è molto conosciuta tra le persone affette da Long Covid. È stata un'attivista per i bambini affetti da Long Covid e ha persino partecipato alla stesura di una lettera di smentita al Primo Ministro del Regno Unito sulla Long Covid. Ha fatto molte apparizioni sulla stampa e in TV. Quello che molti non sanno è che sua madre ha avuto per anni una MECFS "lieve", ma poi è stata colpita dalla Long Covid.

Ecco alcuni link di apparizioni/attivi di Liz e Amanda:

Keelyn O., 15 anni, Long Covid, Canada

Keelyn, un'adolescente canadese che pratica sport professionistici, è stata coraggiosa e ha affrontato la vita senza lamentarsi troppo, continuando anche ad allenarsi con la sua amata pallavolo. 

Ma dopo che i suoi sintomi hanno iniziato a diventare sempre più difficili da sopportare (il suo Long Covid ha iniziato a mostrare POTS, affaticamento, nebbia cerebrale, insonnia e ansia, per finire con contrazioni muscolari che duravano fino a 10 ore, incapacità di concentrarsi o di fare i compiti e assenza di emozioni), sua madre l'ha portata in viaggio verso la nostra clinica a Cipro per un trattamento con terapia combinata e H.E.L.P. aferesi. 

Despite her way not being easy – she needed a catheter, her small body was not always willing to establish a good blood flow with the machine and the amount of treatable plasma was sometimes lower than desired – after 7 H.E.L.P. Apheresis treatments, several IVs and medication protocols she has changed in front of our eyes to a completely different girl! Listen to her story in her own words in the video. She also made a little BEFORE & AFTER video of her getting rid of the muscle twitches (which she suppressed with Parkinson medication before) and being able to do more exercise again here

Abbiamo anche fatto una breve chiacchierata con sua madre, 10 giorni prima dell'ultimo video, vedi sotto (alla fine del video sull'adescamento della macchina).

Jenni Bösnad-Klein, Post-Vac, Germania

Jenni, her husband and her little two kids came to Cyprus for a month, because her Post Vaccine Injury had become so unbearable she had to take action. Her symptom list was long, just like most patients’:

Heart palpitations (sinus tachycardia)
Cardiac arrhythmia & Heart vibrations 
POTS
Heart pain/chest pain
Pressure and stinging in the chest area
Headaches & Neck pain
Dizziness & Brain fog
Sleep disorders (difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep)
Fatigue/exhaustion, intensification after stress
Stress intolerance & Concentration disorders
Sensitivity to light&noise
Difficulty finding words
Muscle & Nerve pain
Sensitivity to cold/heat
MCAS

As you can hear her say in the video – we sent her home with most symptoms resolved and only a few being around in a mild version! 

We also had a short chat with her earlier on, 10 days before the last video – here

Bambini e adolescenti di Long Covid: Zac Sobey (13) e suo padre Ryan, Long Covid, Australia

 13-year-old Zac Sobey from Australia went from being carried to the beach – because he could no longer walk – to surfing in a matter of weeks after having been treated at our clinic. His father, Ryan Sobey, originally from South Africa is a scientist with background in genetics and biochemistry. This helped him identify Help Apheresis as a treatment for his son’s Long Covid.

Zac soffriva di una lunga serie di sintomi gravi: 

Febbre, tosse, affaticamento, reflusso acido, mal di stomaco, mal di testa, diarrea intermittente, affaticamento degli arti superiori e perdita quasi totale della funzionalità degli arti inferiori.

In this interview with our co-founder and director Markus Klotz, father and son reflect on their trip to Cyprus and how Zac, as a 13-year-old teenager, experienced the process of going from being severely disabled to being a healthy teenager again (with only mild fatigue left after exercise – which is still improving).

Arthur Bradshaw (79), Long Covid, Regno Unito

Arthur Bradshaw, 79 anni, si è ripreso dalla mancanza di respiro (SOB) di Long Covid dopo 2 settimane di aferesi assistita.

 Arthur, dal Regno Unito, parla con il nostro cofondatore Markus Klotz della sua guarigione dalla mancanza di respiro (SOB) e da altri sintomi con Help Apheresis. Dopo che il suo sangue aveva inizialmente mostrato una grave ipercoagulopatia, dopo appena 2 settimane e 4 trattamenti di Help Apheresis, Arthur ha visto risultati inaspettatamente rapidi e racconta con parole sue come la sua vita abbia preso una piega diversa negli ultimi tempi, perché suo figlio Stephen, che era lui stesso affetto da Long Covid, sospettava di soffrire non solo di insufficienza cardiaca dopo Covid, ma anche di Long Covid.

Maria Endrodi, Sindrome post-vacale / Long Covid, Ungheria

Maria e Tamas, un'adorabile coppia ungherese con radici negli Stati Uniti e in Italia, sono arrivati sulla nostra isola all'inizio di settembre e, prima che ce ne accorgessimo, hanno ricoperto il nostro team di dolci e amore. Quando Maria è arrivata, i suoi livelli di ansia erano a malapena sopportabili, soffriva di forte debolezza muscolare, problemi di respirazione, nebbia cerebrale, affaticamento costante, malessere post-sforzo, insonnia, disregolazione della temperatura e neuropatia, oltre ad altri problemi autoimmuni. I suoi sintomi sono iniziati più di due anni fa dopo la prima vaccinazione, ma sono peggiorati gravemente dopo un'infezione da Covid. Dopo aver rimosso diversi grandi aggregati di coagulazione dalle vene del braccio, è stato posizionato un catetere per poter effettuare i trattamenti di aferesi di aiuto nonostante la grave ipercoagulazione. Dopo 5 settimane di terapia combinata con 6 Help Aferesi, anticoagulanti, antivirali e varie flebo, si è ripresa e ora è di nuovo vicina a quella di un tempo. La cosa più bella è stata non solo vedere i suoi sintomi debilitanti risolversi uno ad uno, ma anche vedere l'ansia scomparire settimana dopo settimana. Nel breve video di 3 minuti, mentre riceve l'ultimo trattamento endovenoso con il glutatione, si può vedere come sia di nuovo piena di energia e come la coppia sia felice di aver cambiato così drasticamente il corso della sua malattia.

Stephen Bradshaw, Long Covid, Australia

 ‘I arrived here practically in a wheelchair, I had not been well for a very long time. I did all of my own research before I left Australia and Help Apheresis seemed to have the answers to help fix me. From the minute you walk into the clinic, the staff could not be more friendly. They seem to have blended the German efficiency and the Cypriot hospitality. It is such a warm environment to be treated, the staff is incredible, they put me so much at ease with their kindness. The treatment itself is not that invasive, especially if you have the catheter because it means you can have your hands free and read et cetera. Now after treatment Nr. 4 I feel fantastic, but I still have to finish the course of 6 treatments because the filters are still coming out blocked. Overall I can’t thank the clinic enough, the treatment has been fantastic. Overall it has been a fantastic experience, I could not recommend it highly enough. When I realized there is a clinic in Cyprus, the fact that it is a beautiful island made the choice of me and my wife easy. It is a great place to recover and heal by the sea. My advice to other patients is to do your own research, work out if you have micro-clotting which is easy to understand if you follow the symptoms. And then do what it takes to get this treatment to get your life back.’

Stephen talked to us talk in Mazotos, Larnaca – 20 minutes drive from our clinic, in the appartement he and his wife Jane rented for their stay.

Bambini e adolescenti di Long Covid: Lycke Ostby Paulsen (13), Long Covid, Norvegia

Una storia di successo di Long Covid Kids: 

Lycke didn’t want to travel to Cyprus, but her parents managed to get her to us with a compromise between holiday and treatment. Her severe Long Covid symptoms (Fatigue, POTS, PEM, Insomnia, Light&Sound&Movement Sensitivity, Anxiety, Dizziness, Skin Rashes, Nerve Pain, Muscle & Rheumatic Issues etc.) improved so significantly she is now back to school 3 days a week and out of the wheelchair, walking around with her friends in school. She also started singing again for the first time in 1.5 years – her mood is back, her anxiety gone and Lycke is a normal teenager again! 

Her mother Laila talks with our co-founder Markus about their journey to Cyprus and the ups and downs along their daughter’s recovery. Lycke loved Cyprus so much, she did not want to go back home at the end.

The family felt so well taken care of, that the clinic’s staff became family to them within no time. They were happy to finally have found the support and treatment they needed for their daughter.

Verena Hunger, Sindrome Post Vac, Austria

Verena had already tried every possible treatment when she came to our clinic, she even tried Immunoadsorption before and it helped her with the neurological symptoms she was having, but it didn’t help with the fatigue. Unfortunately, three months after her Immunoadsorption, she got worse again as it’s effect was temporary. 

Ma poi la terapia combinata con Help Apheresis l'ha fatta uscire dal letto e dalla sedia a rotelle: "Ho avuto un enorme beneficio da Help Apheresis. Davvero enormi! Il mio soggiorno qui alla vostra clinica di Cipro ha decisamente cambiato la mia vita, ve ne sono molto, molto grata". 

Here you can also watch excerpts of the ARTE TV Documentary ‘Long Covid – Healing in Cyprus’ with her.

She also shares her experience on how easy her travel to Cyprus was with the help of our partner Thomas from TravelSupportCyprus who took care of everything travel and medical travel related for her, so she did not have to worry or stress about anything. She arrived well rested and with literally no travel burden. Beforehand she had thought travelling to Cyprus would be much more difficult.

Jeremy Smith, Long Covid, Stati Uniti

 ‘I had 4 Help Apheresis treatments last year in Germany. They brought me back to 80% of my former capacity. Unfortunately I reinfected with Covid again after and as I did not have Early Treatment packages back then, my Long Covid came back with even more symptoms. 

I decided to go for Combination Therapy with Help Apheresis at the Apheresis Center in Cyprus. I was put on the clinics’ MCAS protocol a few weeks prior to my arrival and I arrived with my MCAS being much better already. Now I am receiving Help Apheresis, IV treatments and medication protocols since three weeks and my symptoms are mostly gone already, I could even have a beer yesterday for the first time again and enjoy the beach, no more pain and anxiety! 

The Apheresis Center is a totally different experience and I am super happy I chose Cyprus. It is very different from Germany. The doctors, nurses and the whole team are doing everything to bring me back to my full capacity, their knowledge about Long Covid and the individually adapted treatment is great – a real concierge medicine experience! I missed home last year in Germany – here in Cyprus not a single day, we even extended our stay and will come back next year for holidays!’

Stephanie Hadjiioannou, Long Covid, Grecia

Stephanie suffered from severe Long Covid. Extreme fatigue and loosing her ability to speak were the most present symptoms, but the list of symptoms was long: Noise and movement sensitivity, dizziness, PEM, cognitive dysfunction/brainfog, memory loss, POTS, headaches, muscle pain and depression. After 6 weeks of treatment with Apheresis, Hyperthermia, IVs, Nutraceuticals and Peptides she was symptom free. It was remarkable to see he getting her ability to speak back so quickly. You find a short Greek video of her here.

And a video in Greek from her husband here.


Heidi Hansen, Long Covid, Stati Uniti d'America

‘After having been bedridden for over a year with extreme spinal pain, heavy fatigue, brain fog, POTS and further debilitating symptoms, I got on a plane to Cyprus and I had 7 Help Apheresis treatments. I got better after the first treatment, but after the third treatment I could walk out of the clinic without any troubles. I now have access to the world again – it has given me so much of my life back – it is so wonderful! Your staff is amazing, they are so sweet! Rafailia is a genius with finding good veins, she is the best I have ever seen!’

Katrina Krulla, Long Covid, Stati Uniti

 ‘I have had some amazing results with H.E.L.P. Apheresis for my Long Covid – my 6th treatment got me back to feeling 75% to 90% recovered. Larnaca was truly an amazing place for recovery. Also the great community for support that formed with others getting treatment was so wonderful. It was so nice to have a team of people helping you that “got it” and believed you in addition to being with others suffering the same life changing illness.’

Patricia Price, ME/CFS, Regno Unito

Patricia soffre di una grave forma di MECFS dal 2015:

‘My Help Apheresis treatment improved my ME by 80%. Help Apheresis took me from being mostly bed bound 23 hours a day – I could not be upright without my heart jumping to 170 beats per minute, even higher if I tried to have a shower – to being able to be upright and be mobile almost every day. It changed my life! I can now manage my own life again. I can go outside again and I was able to gain weight and can now eat three solid meals a day again!

Edward Nicol, Scozia, Lyme, Babesia, Long Covid

Dopo diverse settimane, Eddie ha lasciato la nostra isola senza alcun risultato o beneficio dai trattamenti (terapia combinata con aferesi H.E.L.P. ) e sia l'équipe che lui erano sconvolti. Ma poco dopo il suo arrivo a casa, giorno dopo giorno, ha iniziato a migliorare a piccoli passi, fino a quando, 3 mesi dopo, è quasi privo di sintomi! Questa è la versione completa della versione breve di cui sopra.


Landen Williams, Long Covid, USA

Landen aveva problemi di respirazione, ansia, nebbia cerebrale e altri sintomi prima che lo trattassimo con H.E.L.P. Apheresis. A distanza di alcuni mesi dal trattamento, è tornato al 70% di prima, mentre la stanchezza e la PEM sono gli ultimi sintomi che in parte persistono. Li sta affrontando con la terapia combinata. Il video qui sopra è una breve versione/esempio della sua apparizione su 1819 News (Fonte: 1819news)

Altre testimonianze di Long Covid

‘Having had H.E.L.P Apheresis treatment for my Long Covid in Larnaca in Feb/March, I have now been back for 4 months and can confidently say I am a lot better despite having had to leave earlier than I planned. For the first time since early 2020 I am now living well and I feel positive about eventually getting 100% better. I am so glad I had the opportunity to go to Cyprus and I remain grateful to Silke, Markus, Nicky and the team for their dedicated expertise.’
Zeena S., Long Covid, United Kingdom

‘I just returned home from a 3 weeks stay in Larnaca. I have had 4  H.E.L.P Apheresis treatments for my Long Covid in the first 2 weeks and 1 HBOT treatment (just to  try, but not my favourite). During the first treatment the pressure  between heart and lungs disappeared after about 1,5/2 hours. Also the brainfog had been reduced substantially. Silke and Markus and their team are great, they are doing a great job. And take advantage of the extra options that are offered. For me another treatment in 2 or 3 months is a realistic option (in case of a relapse or if I don’t seem to improve anymore).’
Brian V., Netherlands

‘After the first H.E.L.P Apheresis treatment I felt very tired but pretty good. I noticed I didn’t have chest pain anymore. I rested a lot and had the next three sessions over the next two weeks without any problems. After my fourth treatment I could really see that my eyes were clear white for the first time in ages. I have colour in my cheeks that I haven’t had since I caught covid. I found the Cyprus clinic very nicely run and everyone was very lovely. I also met other people with long covid having the same treatment and there was a fantastic sense of community.’ 
Sarah H., US

‘I had 6 H.E.L.P Apheresis. Right after the 1st one, I felt I could breath better – it was great. Day two I started having plenty of « side effects », especially neurological ones. Thankfully all of that stopped, and in return, I got my brain back, with no more memory losses, no concentration troubles anymore, no more depression and anxiety. I was feeling myself again for the first time since my Long Covid started in March 2020.’
Lilas B., France

Anna M., MECFS (post virale) con debolezza muscolare e affaticamento

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.

Liz e Amanda Jelley, Long Covid e MECFS, Scozia

Liz and Amanda stayed nearly two months in our clinic. They both had great results, Liz lately was able to  get her driving license and also started her A-levels. From 1-2 hours slow activities a day to a full 8 hour day with driving the car and even visiting a concert – her life has changed within a very short time after Combination Therapy and H.E.L.P. Apheresis.

79 year old Arthur Bradshaw – Help Apheresis

Arthur Bradshaw, 79 anni, del Regno Unito, parla con il nostro cofondatore Markus Klotz della sua guarigione dalla mancanza di respiro (SOB) e da altri sintomi con Help Apheresis. Dopo che il suo sangue ha mostrato una grave ipercoagulopatia dopo solo 2 settimane e 4 trattamenti di Help Apheresis, Arthur ha visto risultati inaspettatamente rapidi e racconta con le sue stesse parole come la sua vita abbia preso una piega diversa negli ultimi tempi.

Come sapere se si sta parlando con un vero testimonial/paziente

Simply request her/his USI – Unique Social Identifier!

In Social Media and Forums Spam and Fake-Posts are a common problem. A great way to identify if you are speaking to a real current or former patient of the Apheresis Center is to request their USI – Unique Social Identifier.

How does a USI (Unique Social Identifier) work? Every Apheresis Center patient can request his/her USI. A USI is a 5 digit code (e.g. 3R7TZ) that is connected to one enquiry from one social account and is valid for a single indentification process only (72 hours), whilst fulfilling all data protection regulations.

Come funziona?

  1. Si parla con qualcuno online ma non si è sicuri che si tratti di una persona/paziente reale.
  2. Inviate loro una richiesta di USI con il vostro account sui social media che utilizzate per comunicare con loro.
  3. Richiederanno quindi al Centro di Aferesi un'USI monouso in corso di validità (valida per 72 ore).
  4. È possibile verificarlo (vedi sotto) e vedere se si tratta effettivamente di un USI valido (si sta parlando con un paziente/persona reale) o meno (falso/spam).
