Help Apheresis for Long Covid treatment video
H.E.L.P. Apheresis - How does it work? A simplified (non-medical) explanation.
Our patient Jeremy allowed us to film his Help Apheresis treatment Nr.8, so that people can have a detailed look before undergoing the treatment themselves. We tried to explain things very simplified and in an easy to understand form and in return sacrificed a bit of the medical and scientific precision for it to be easier to watch.
You find Jeremy's interview about his treatment experience here
Catheter access video
H.E.L.P. Apheresis with leg catheter access
Our patient Stephen allowed us to film his Help Apheresis treatment Nr.4, 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
Topics that have not been covered/explained in the videos:
- Disinfection prior to the treatment / use of liquid gloves
- Covid rapid tests and unmasking

Caution: We do not use precise language/descriptions in this videos, it is for demonstration purposes only. Jeremy and Stephen are no longer light-/sound-/movement sensitive, so we did not have to take special precautions.
