In the field of HIV and cancer, combination therapy is one of the most successful forms of treatment - often it is the gold standard in the specific field.
Together with contributors all around the world and through our clinical experience combined with patient-led knowledge we have developed the first Combination Therapy protocol for Long COVID, Post Vac Syndrome and Chronic Illnesses.
We named it after it's place of origin:
'The Cyprus Protocol'
Our Combination Therapy portfolio has been completed with new therapies this year - Click here
Click on the each element of the Cyprus Protocol for more details
For every patient the protocol needs to be individualised to a symptom-based protocol which is dynamically adjusted to response and progress.
Independent of the treatment a patient is undergoing - without adapted nutrition for the three treatment phases pre-treatment, on-treatment and post-treatment, the achievable results differ.
This is why we base our Combination Therapy on individual and personalized nutrition plans for every patient, based on the results of blood panel test and food intolerance test that show IgG reactions to 287 foods (vegetables, fish & seafood, fruits, spices, nuts, legumes, meat, egg & milk, cereals & seeds, nuts, coffee & tea and novel foods).
Our Clinical Nutritionist Chryso Zorbas will hold your hand nutritionally from day one and guide you along the therapy with a personalized diet plan that will enhance your recovery process. Needless to say that our Health Coaching (see below) is a perfect match and goes hand in hand with our Clinical Nutrition Supervision.

Our most effective treatment to date: At the core of our Combination Therapy is H.E.L.P. Apheresis - a highly selective apheresis form - a special blood purification by precipitation/adsorption procedure. It serves to treat microcirculation / blood flow issues (microclots are removed, blood flow increased) and removes pathogenic or disease-sustaining proteins and protein-bound substances from the blood. It selectively removes amongst other substances inflammation proteins, viral spike protein, cholesterol + autoantibodies.
Learn more about H.E.L.P. Apheresis here.
Long Covid and many other Chronic Illnesses are at their root an endothelitis/vasculitis with severe inflammation, combined with hypercoagulation and often viral persistence. Autoimmunity components can be involved too.
IV treatments work directly where needed the most: in the blood vessels in the desired concentration.
IV/Intravenous therapies that are used in our Long COVID and Chronic Illnesses Combination Therapy are:
- IV Vitamin C (Reducing inflammation)
- IV Glutathione (Antioxidant)
- IV Multivitamin Protocol (Balancing deficiencies)
- IV NAD+ (Metabolism/mitochondria benefits)
- IV Alpha Lipoic Acid (Metabolism/nerve pain reduction)
- IV Zinc (Reducing inflammation, speeding up recovery)
- IV Magnesium (Electrolyte reducing fatigue and anxiety)
- IV NAC (Reduces brainfog/relieves respiratory discomfort)
- IV Taurin (Is Cytoprotective (cell protective) and detoxyfying)
- IV Arginine (Increases elasticity of blood vessels and increases blood flow)
- IV Lysine (Increases cell healing and wound healing)
- Other IVs: Iron, Selenium, Amino Acids, Minerals

Chelation Therapy:
Chelation therapy is a medical intervention characterized by the administration of chelating agents, substances with a high affinity for certain metal ions, to facilitate the removal of heavy metals and minerals from the body.

Medication and supplement protocols increase H.E.L.P. Apheresis results further and can be used to treat patients symptom-specific. The protocols include Antiviral Protocols and Anticoagulation Protocols.
Symptoms the medication protocols focus on are:
- Viral persistence
- Persisting hyper coagulation
- MCAS (mastcell activation syndrome), often combined with gastroparesis
- Endothelial damage, often combined with hypercholesterolaemia
- Neuro inflammation/brain inflammation
- Fatigue, PEM often combined with mitochondrial dysfunction
- Insomnia
- Induced anxiety/paranoia/depression
- Reactivated viruses
- Others

Prof. Elfriede Leniger-Follert discovered the mechanism of the disease-related narrowing of the microvessels in 1983. This reduces
the oxygen supply to the brain, the retina, the inner ear, the lungs and liver, the kidneys and the feet.
In all circulatory disorders, the outer side of the vascular muscle cells is negatively charged compared to the positively charged inner side
(potassium depolarisation). This reversal is the trigger for the shortening of the ring-shaped vascular muscles, which thus become narrower.
A few years later, she discovered that magnesium ions are capable of reversing the unfavourable charge distribution. This
opens and widens the blood vessels again.
Prof. Leniger-Follert uses direct IV injections into the veins and oxygen concentrators directly after.
We have developed a similar therapy based on the decade long knowledge of our medical team and have adapted her findings to the use with Hyperbaric Oxygen combined with IV treatment with Magnesium NaCl solution.
Magnesium Oxygen Therapy - but literally supercharged.

Colon Hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, constitutes an internal cleansing procedure designed to rid the colon of deleterious waste materials. This therapeutic intervention serves as a rapid and highly efficient means of detoxification for the body. The mild internal hydration expeditiously eliminates pathogenic toxins by leveraging the natural peristaltic movements, further facilitated by abdominal massage. Notably, this process has implications for individuals with symptoms that present similar to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), as it influence the systemic responses associated with this symptoms often triggered by Long Covid, Post Vac or other Chronic Illnesses.

The application of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and monoclonal antibodies (mABs) represents a new area in treating Long Covid, Post Vac and Chronic Illnesses. These conditions involve complex immune dysregulation and inflammatory responses. IVIG is a concentrated preparation of immunoglobulins derived from pooled human plasma.
Monoclonal antibodies, designed to target specific components of the immune response, present another avenue for intervention. Both IVIG and mABs are being investigated for their potential to restore immune homeostasis.
The current official indications include symptoms present in chronic illness and many post-viral conditions: Myo- and Pericarditis, Small Fiber Neuropathy but also acute/severe conditions like Sepsis.

For specific symptoms and subgroups after H.E.L.P. Apheresis treatment these treatments can speed up and enforce the recovery process. (Note: HBOT is only administered after H.E.L.P. Apheresis therapy. Ozone-EBOO is only administered after H.E.L.P. Apheresis and only in special cases)

A stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a single- or doublesided injection of anesthetic medication into a collection of nerves called the stellate ganglion. Many patients experienced an alleviation of dysautonomia symptoms following a stellate ganglion block. Other symptoms that improved or resolved were: anxiety/PTSD, arosmia and parosmia. The positive effects of a stellate ganglion block can sometimes last, but often are temporary (which is fine as it gives the body a 'time-out' to regenerate).

Many of our last year's patients had to come back to us for another course of H.E.L.P. Apheresis and Combination Therapy treatment, because they reinfected with Covid and were thrown back to experiencing Long Covid symptoms. This is why we started giving out 'Early Treatment packages' which avoid exactly that. Our prescribing doctors will supply you with everything needed to get through your next reinfection without risking to worsen again.
Quote: '...coagulation in Long Covid is indicated by the detection of circulating fibrinolysis-resistant microclots that are enriched in vWF, C7, acute-phase serum amyloid proteins, and fibrin, proteins identified in the proteomics screen by Cervia-Hasler et al. as contributors to Long Covid. '

In simpler terms, this study investigates the reasons behind persistent symptoms in some people after recovering from COVID-19, a condition known as Long Covid. The researchers found that Long Covid patients have ongoing activation of the immune system, specifically the complement system, which leads to inflammation and blood clot formation. Unlike during acute COVID-19, where the liver plays a major role in immune responses, in Long Covid, the inflammation seems to be more localized, involving tissues and immune cells. The study suggests that this persistent immune activation, particularly in the complement system, contributes to the symptoms experienced by Long Covid patients.
The researchers identified specific proteins, such as pentraxin 3 and complement components, that are associated with Long Covid. The complement system, when uncontrolled, can cause damage to cells and blood vessels. In Long Covid patients, there is evidence of excessive complement activation, leading to inflammation and microclot formation. This ongoing inflammatory state, even in the absence of widespread blood clotting, can explain the lingering symptoms observed in Long Covid, such as fatigue and cognitive issues.
Additionally, the study found imbalances in factors related to blood clotting, suggesting a potential mechanism for thromboinflammation in Long Covid. While the exact reasons for the persistent immune activation and clotting in Long Covid are not fully understood, the study indicates that targeting specific components of the immune and clotting systems could be a potential avenue for treatment in Long Covid.
H.E.L.P. Apheresis addresses most if not all of the above. Microclots, Hypercoagulation, Inflammation, Pathogens to list just a few modes of action of H.E.L.P. Apheresis. The rest can be addressed by other elements of the Combination Therapy of 'The Cyprus Protocol'.

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.'

'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!'

'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 has been suffering from severe MECFS since 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!

Landen was struggling with breathing, anxiety, brain fog and other symptoms before we treated him with H.E.L.P. Apheresis. Several months after the treatment he is now back to 70% of his former self, some fatigue and PEM are the last symptoms partly persisting. He is tackling them with Combination Therapy. The above video is a short version/excerpt of his appearance on 1819 News (Source: 1819news)

Combination Therapy and H.E.L.P. Apheresis do not achieve the same results in the same time frame for different patients. From our clinical experience we have seen similar success rates as presented on the ISFA 2023 (World Conference of the International Society for Apheresis) - 80% success rate with results varying from smaller improvements to being fully curative. The majority of patients saw a significant improvement. Long Covid, Post Vac and CI are umbrella terms with different subsets - no patient presents the exact same symptoms set.
The time frame in which patients see results also vastly differs - from first treatment to several months. However, as a recent study clearly shows, during the months after treatment/in recovery phase excessive exercise should be avoided: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41569-024-00992-5
