Supercharging our Patients’ Treatment Results with Health Coaching and Clinical Nutrition Supervision
Markus Klotz, our Co-founder and managing director talks with our two ‘Superwomen’:
Our Health Coach Tanja Walser, who will guide you through your entire recovery journey from A to Z, making sure that every bit of it is optimised and effortless – full support from someone who knows and has been there – a recovered expert patient and Health Coach at your side all the time!
Our Clinical Director and Nutritionist Chryso Zorbas, from whom you will receive full clinical nutritional supervision from day one, even before you arrive at the clinic – because any food you put into your body is essentially information – getting this part and the supplements right is a huge bonus to your treatment outcome, especially as she is also our Clinical Director and directly involved with our medical team!
Our Long Covid and Post Vac Story – a look into the past, present and future with Markus Klotz – our Co-founder and Managing Director
Long Covid, Post Vac Syndrome and Chronic Illnesses – it is never easy to find one’s right road to recovery. But with a little help it is definitely much easier. Markus talks about what we have learned from clinical experience in the last two years and what his personal advice is, if you are looking for the right treatment form.

A tour through our clinic with Constantinos Georgiou – our Center Manager and Co-founder
Constantinos’ family has grown substantially the last two years. He keeps ‘adopting’ patients. He is the person helping you with everything in the clinic and on the island to make you feel at home.
E dopo aver terminato tutti i turni di trattamento, si assicura che non manchino mai le scorte e che l'intera clinica funzioni come un orologio svizzero.
La nostra cofondatrice Silke Fischer, esperta di applicazioni tecniche di aferesi su H.E.L.P. , illustra le diverse forme di aferesi e i vantaggi della terapia combinata.
Silke Fischer vanta un'esperienza decennale nel campo dell'aferesi e ha formato innumerevoli medici e infermieri. Ha sviluppato standard internazionali per il trattamento di aferesi e ha esperienza nello sviluppo della tecnologia di aferesi. Ci offre una panoramica delle forme di aferesi esistenti e del loro utilizzo nelle malattie croniche con problemi di microcircolo e ci spiega perché alcune forme di aferesi, come H.E.L.P. Apheresis, funzionano meglio di altre per queste condizioni e perché la terapia combinata con H.E.L.P. Apheresis ha mostrato risultati migliori rispetto alla versione/protocollo indipendente.

Clinical Experience, Combination Therapy with Help Apheresis and our patients – a talk with our medical director and chief physician, Dr. Irina Pavlik Marangos
Dr. Irina as she is affectionately called by our patients and nurses has been working in research in the University Hospital Oslo for almost a decade before she decided to come back to the frontline. After having treated chronic illness sufferers for many years, there is only few symptoms and medical issues she has not come across in this field – one of the reasons no patient ever gets a questioning look from her. Only if someone under her care does not follow her doctor’s advice she will go in no time from soft as silk to pragmatic! One of her biggest strengths is to talk to patients in a non-medical language that makes everyone understand their treatment effortlessly.
La nostra direttrice clinica Chryso Zorbas ci parla di come gestiamo la migliore assistenza per i nostri pazienti e della sua esperienza come nutrizionista clinica.
La nostra direttrice clinica Chryso Zorbas e il cofondatore Markus parlano brevemente di come gestisce le cure e i trattamenti migliori per i nostri pazienti, di cosa possono aspettarsi nella nostra clinica e dell'importante ruolo della nutrizione clinica prima, durante e dopo i trattamenti. Avere nel nostro team un manager esperto e un'esperta di nutrizione clinica come Chryso ci aiuta a portare gli standard già elevati e le percentuali di successo ancora più in alto. Perché ogni piccolo passo in avanti nella scala del recupero è importante.
Gez Medinger e Markus Klotz sulla terapia combinata individuale
In this talk science journalist Gez Medinger and our co-founder Markus Klotz talk about their own Long Covid journeys and why they both came to the conclusion that Combination Therapy for Long Covid needs to be individualised for every single one of us. Back in early 2021 when Markus simply did not recover, but got worse and worse after his first Covid infection it was Gez’ Youtube videos that made him understand that what he was suffering from was Long Covid. Like him, many have benefitted from Gez’ work. During his stay at our clinic, he and Markus took some time and shared some insights they both learned over the last two years.
Il nostro direttore medico, la dottoressa Irina Pavlik Marangos, in un'intervista con la comunità di aferesi di Long Covid
Quote from the Long Covid Apheresis Community: Dr. Irina Pavlik Marangos has vast experience in treating Long Covid and Post Vac, but also Lyme and MECFS, as well as other Post Viral Syndromes. A lot of insights and news which she shared with us – treatment modalities, Combination Therapy updates and new results and much more.
She only had one condition for giving an interview – keep it short and simple, otherwise our patients do not benefit from our talk. She truly understands how decreased cognitive function can affect us!
No wonder all our community members that were treated by her call her affectionately ‘Dr. Irina’!’
Il nostro co-fondatore Markus Klotz e il nostro consulente medico Dr. Beate Jaeger in un'intervista con la Comunità di Aferesi Long Covid
Quote from the Long Covid Apheresis Community: ‘Our expert interview with Dr. Beate Jaeger and Markus Klotz who were two of the first people who started to work tirelessly for us Long Covid, Post Vac Syndrome and Chronic Illness sufferers..they have treated hundreds of patients successfully.’
Il nostro consulente medico Dr. Gustavo Aguirre-Chang in un'intervista alla Comunità di Aferesi Long Covid
Quote from the Long Covid Apheresis Community: ‘Dr. Gustavo Aguirre-Chang, inventor of the Microclots Indication Test – HHMS Test has been one of the first clinicians actively researching Long Covid and Post Vac and helped thousands with his protocols. He is a medical advisor to the Apheresis Center, a leading international Long Covid and Post Vac clinic and has been a part of the team that invented the ‘Cyprus Protocol’ – the first Combination Therapy protocol for Long Covid and Post Vac. In his presentation/interview he shares some of his latest insights with us and answers questions our community members had.’

Una breve chiacchierata nella nostra sala trattamenti con Jenni dalla Germania
We took a moment and had a short chat with one of our patients from Germany, Jenni about her early treatment progress. And being a German clinic – of course in German! (click subtitles for English).
Two weeks later we had another longer chat with her about her recovery which you will find here
H.E.L.P. Video di aferesi per il trattamento con Covida lunga
H.E.L.P. Apheresis – How does it work? A simplified (non-medical) explanation.
Il nostro paziente Jeremy ci ha permesso di filmare il suo trattamento di aferesi H.E.L.P. n. 8, in modo che le persone possano avere una visione dettagliata prima di sottoporsi al trattamento stesso. Abbiamo cercato di spiegare le cose in modo molto semplice e comprensibile, sacrificando un po' di precisione medica e scientifica per rendere più facile la visione.

Video sull'accesso al catetere
H.E.L.P. Aferesi con accesso al catetere della gamba
Our patient Stephen allowed us to film his H.E.L.P. Apheresis treatment, so that people can get an insight on how the treatment works with the use of a catheter (a special apheresis catheter is used if you have very small veins, bad/affected veins that make them inaccessible with apheresis needles, or in some cases if your apheresis needles keep getting blocked). You can find more information on catheters at the bottom of the in the FAQ section here
H.E.L.P. Video sulla preparazione/adescamento della macchina per aferesi
Circa un'ora prima del trattamento, i 30 kg di liquidi (NaCl, Acetato, Bicarbonato, Eparan Solfato) e i tubi, gli adsorbitori e i filtri devono essere preparati, collegati e quindi la macchina Plasmat Futura deve essere lavata, testata e preparata e sottoposta a diversi autotest meccanici per verificare che tutte le pompe, i morsetti, i sensori e l'elettronica siano precisi e funzionanti al 100% (questo processo è chiamato priming).
