    Healing the Nervous System: Strategies for Long COVID Recovery

    Author: Tanja Walser Long COVID continues to challenge patients and clinicians alike, with symptoms often linked to dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Supporting nervous system recovery is key to regaining function and improving quality of life. Here are five targeted strategies that can help recalibrate the ANS,…

    Five Lives. Part Two. Changing lives – Lyme Recovery

    You always meet twice in life, but this was very unexpected. Again! (See Five Lives Part One – link at the bottom of the post) Two people meeting randomly at the Jasmine Garden’s restaurant near Mackenzie Beach at John Morgenthaler’s goodbye party – both having recovered at the Apheresis Center from Lyme disease in the last two months.  Cheri could not resist and had a little Happy Dance after her Lyme recovery during our video shoot at John’s goodbye party. …

    Five Lives – How the Cyprus Protocol changes lives

    John from the US, one of the Apheresis Center’s patients that just finished his treatment course, called Markus half an hour before ‘Hey there is a dinner going on, are you coming?’ whilst at literally the same time Rune from Denmark, who was successfully treated just a few months ago, called and said ‘Markus let’s meet tonight, I am back in Cyprus’ – so by pure chance everybody met in Kiti at the Tamala Pub for dinner. At one point…

    Treatments on a time and money budget

    Most of us chronically ill are struggling with finances because not only our work life is affected and our income, but also costs for health care not covered by insurances and public health systems are a burden for most of us.  I was lucky that in my 40s I had the means to be able to afford private treatment, at earlier times in my life I would have been fully dependant on my families help. The ironic part is that…

    Long Covid: New Treatment to Aid Millions of Chronic Patients

    Author: S. Margalit While the COVID-19 pandemic’s grip has loosened, millions worldwide grapple with long-term effects. A recent JAMA Network report estimates 7% of US adults, or nearly 18 million, experience Long COVID. Scientists pinpoint microscopic blood clots as a potential culprit. I spoke with Markus Klotz, co-founder of the Apheresis Center in Larnaca, Cyprus, and a former Long COVID patient himself, to delve deeper into the condition and their promising treatment protocol. Markus, many Long COVID patients struggle despite seeming recovery.…

    Comprehensive Long COVID Therapy at the Apheresis Center

Many of our patients at The Apheresis Center have tried every protocol their Doctors have suggested, yet still find themselves stuck far below their former level of function.…

    My 4 checklists for evaluating Long Covid related information

    Most of my regular blog readers know: I am fully recovered from severe Long Covid and have not fallen back to Long Covid during the last two Covid infections, RSV infection and flu infections (which one often gets with a child in kindergarten). Now some of you might remember that I still take mild blood pressure medication and have reading glasses, which I didn’t before, so one could say it is not a 100% percent recovery – but I guess…

  • ARTE TV Documentary ‘Long Covid – Healing in Cyprus’

    ARTE TV Documentary ‘Long Covid – Healing in Cyprus’

    In fall 2023, a team of journalists from European TV channel ARTE TV accompanied three of our Long Covid and Post Vac Syndrom patients and  interviewed them and our team at the Apheresis Center.

Between the date when the documentary was filmed and the broadcast, many new scientific findings have been…
