When weeks become months — and months become years
If you’re still battling fatigue, brain fog, chest pressure, or dysautonomia long after your initial infection, you may be stuck in a cycle of chronic immune dysfunction. And you’re not alone.
Long COVID is not just a post-viral phase — for many, it becomes a chronic condition that requires a structured, long-term care approach. Here’s why that changes everything.
The Chronic Illness Model: A Better Way to Understand Long COVID
Conventional medicine often assumes recovery is linear. But Long COVID patients know that symptoms can:
- Fluctuate from day to day
- Worsen after exertion (PEM)
- Improve temporarily, only to relapse
This isn’t random — it’s a hallmark of chronic immune and metabolic disruption.
That’s why Long COVID should be treated more like:
- Autoimmune diseases
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
- Post-viral fatigue syndrome
…than a typical post-infection recovery.
What Makes It Chronic?
Before we explore our therapeutic options, it’s important to understand that Long COVID involves more than lingering symptoms. Visit our Free Online Microclots Test to explore how we assess underlying causes like microclots and autoantibodies, which standard blood tests often miss.
1. Persistent Inflammation & Immune Imbalance
Autoantibodies like GPCR AABs may linger and continue to interfere with immune and nervous system function.
2. Vascular Damage & Microclots
Endothelial inflammation and microclots reduce oxygen delivery and impair organ function, especially the brain and muscles.
3. Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Energy production in the body is disrupted, making even mild exertion feel exhausting. This may be why some patients can’t return to work or exercise without setbacks.
4. Autonomic Dysregulation
Many Long COVID symptoms stem from dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system — not just physical deconditioning.
Why “Just Rest” Isn’t Enough
Explore our IV Therapy & Nutraceutical Programs and Hyperthermia for Long COVID to learn how we support your body’s natural recovery mechanisms alongside immune modulation. Long COVID is not just lingering fatigue — it’s a complex, multi-system condition that often requires:
- Regular clinical follow-up
- Ongoing anti-inflammatory support
- Targeted immune modulation
- Nutritional and mitochondrial therapies
“If I’d waited for things to just improve on their own, I’d still be bedridden today. It wasn’t until I found a clinic that understood the chronic nature of this that I saw real progress.”

How We Support Patients with Chronic Post-COVID Conditions
Precision Therapies at the Apheresis Center:
- H.E.L.P. Apheresis: to remove fibrinogen, cytokines, and microclots
- Immunoadsorption: for targeted removal of autoantibodies
- Inuspheresis: a broader immune filtration option
- Nutraceutical Support: to aid mitochondrial and immune recovery
- Hyperthermia Therapy: to reactivate immune self-regulation
These aren’t short-term fixes — they are personalized protocols based on diagnostic markers, built for long-term recovery.
Think Long-Term. Act Early.
If your symptoms have persisted beyond 8–12 weeks, it’s time to stop waiting for spontaneous recovery. 📌Book a Consultation
More About the Science
Long COVID is now formally recognized by the World Health Organization as a post-viral condition that can persist for months or years, often involving multiple organ systems.
A 2024 study published in Cell revealed compelling evidence of microclots and platelet pathology in Long COVID patients — biological markers that help explain many of the lingering symptoms patients experience.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Long COVID a chronic condition?
Yes. For many patients, symptoms persist for months or even years. Studies now support a chronic immune and vascular basis.
What is the role of microclots and spike protein persistence in Long Covid and SarsCov2 Post-Vac?
Whilst the science on some of the detailed processes and causes is far from clear, we have learned a lot about these illnesses – clinical experience clearly shows that once spike protein levels in Serum, Exosomes and Immune Cells is reduced (Molecular Diagnostics) and the microclots have been removed (Biocode Test) over 80% of patients show drastic improvements. Blood thinners and antivirals towards the end of a treatment course and after treatment and in rare cases MABs or SCIG (we prever SCIG over IVIG by now) are improving patients even further. Nutraceutivcals and Hyperthermia are able to improve treatment results and make them last.
Why do my symptoms come and go?
This is known as relapsing-remitting illness. It’s typical of immune-mediated diseases and requires ongoing support.
What’s the difference between post-COVID and Long COVID?
Post-COVID usually refers to symptoms that linger for a few weeks. Long COVID refers to a lasting, often progressive condition.
Is there a cure for Long COVID?
There is no single cure — but there are targeted therapies that address the underlying biology. Our combination therapy approach focuses on reducing inflammation, modulating the immune response, and restoring quality of life.
How is your clinic different?
We treat Long COVID like what it is — a chronic, complex, immune-driven condition. Our therapies are designed for long-term support, guided by personalized diagnostics.
