Your German Apheresis Clinic in Cyprus

‘The Clinic I would have wanted’

Markus Klotz, our clinic founder lives through his own story with every patient. Four years ago he was treated with H.E.L.P. Apheresis and Combination Therapy – now known as ‘The Cyprus Protocol’ and fully recovered from Long Covid. 

Since then our Clinic has successfully treated over 1100 patients:

Our Improvements in Personalised Chronic Care Medicine

We are constantly maximising Accessibility, Treatment Results and your Patient Journey

Our founder Markus Klotz started the Apheresis Center after having recovered from severe chronic illness. Inspired by his own lived experience, he focused on changing areas he was not satisfied with in the current medical environment during his personal patient journey:  

  • Year One (2022): Maximising the Treatment Portfolio – bringing all treatments that show results for our patient population in one single place (and weed out those which showed no results)
  • Year Two (2023): Maximising the (Research) Diagnostics Portfolio – bringing all cutting-edge diagnostics from research to patients in one single place
  • Year Three (2024): Optimising the treatment algorithms through further research and clinical experience together with AI support to continuously enhance the treatment results
  • Year Four (2025): Implementing a full support system and optimising the patient journey for all treated conditions with AI support

“There were two important numbers for me from day one: Accessibility – keeping these high-tech and by design very sophisticated and expensive treatments as accessible as possible and at the same time achieving the best possible treatment results. Nobody should have to go through what I experienced whilst having severe and completely disabling chronic illness.”

The Cyprus Protocol

We focus on Therapeutic Apheresis and multimodal Combination Therapy for Post Covid Syndrome (PCS), Post Vaccine Syndrome (PVS), Long Covid and Chronic Illnesses.

Together with contributors from all around the world and through our own clinical experience we have developed the first multimodal Combination Therapy protocol for Long Covid therapy, Post-Vac Syndrome and Chronic Illnesses.

 We’ve named it after its place of origin:

John Morgenthaler, Lyme, US

 John Morgenthaler is an expert on smart drugs and supplements and wrote an international bestseller about it. Since 25 years he suffered from Lyme, which through Covid blended into a mix of Lyme and Long Covid which made his life unbearable. John being quite a character, both hilarious and smart tells us in his words how he experienced his recovery and why he came to the Apheresis Center in Cyprus.

Patricia Price, MECFS, UK

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!

Neil Birkett, Post-Vac, Canada

When Neil came to the Apheresis Center he was a very sick man. Continuous severe headache, lower leg pain and tremors, shaking hands, noise sensitivity, movement sensitivity, dizziness, chronic fatigue, PEM, difficulties talking and stuttering, anxiety, cognitive issues and memory loss. 

On his intake form he wrote: ‘I have all these symptoms, and 2 1/2 years of testing, with no diagnosis beyond Chronic Fatigue. I was the 63 year old guy that would run up a flight of stairs, always physically active and quietly “outgoing”. Could give speeches in front of my Work Team or Bank Conference. Now I am huddled away, afraid to go to a local grocery store.’

After 4 weeks of Combination Therapy with H.E.L.P. Apheresis, Hyperthermia, Nutraceuticals, IVs and Peptides – he is back to 80% already. Listen to his story that he is able to tell in a loud and crowded bar with no problems at all – he even had even a glass of prosecco for the first time in years. And he felt great the next morning after all the hours of noise, crowds and staying up late. No wonder, his spouse is still in disbelief she has her husband back. Make sure to listen to her story too in the other videos of Neil and Audrey. Warning: Loud background noise – if you are noise sensitive use the subtitles please and turn down the volume before starting the video. Here is a more silent video with them summarizing their experience in a tranquil environment: Click here

Bryan and Frank, Long Covid, US

Bryan and Frank from San Diego stayed at our clinic for almost 7 weeks.

The list of symptoms was long for Bryan Mackenzie when he arrived: Severe Fatigue, PEM, Anxiety, Depression, Malaise, Shortness of Breath, Chest Tightness, Brainfog, Mast Cell Activation (MCAS), Palpitations, Tremors, Dizziness, Noise, Light and Heat Sensitivity. 

Frank Ives had Heart Issues with Palpitations, Dizziness, Light Headedness and Pain around the Chest and Heart Area, as well as Anxiety and Panic Attacks.

They both did multimodal Combination Therapy with H.E.L.P. Apheresis for Long COVID treatment , IV Treatment, Nutraceutical Therapy and rTMS/Keta therapy.

During their stay they also witnessed that 8 out of 10 of their fellow patients while they stayed at the clinic recovered in the same way.

They had visited numerous doctors and renowned clinics before coming to Cyprus, but could not find help.

Now they both are spreading the word to help creating awareness amongst medical providers and patients that Long Covid and Post-Vac as well as other chronic illness is treatable and not a ‘mysterious condition for which no treatments exist’. You can see all of their interview in different short videos here

Stephen Bradshaw, Long Covid, Australia

‘I arrived here practically in a wheelchair, I had not been well for a very long time. From the minute you walk into the clinic, the staff could not be more friendly. They seem to have blended the German efficiency and the Cypriot hospitality. It is such a warm environment to be treated, the staff is incredible, they put me so much at ease with their kindness.’ To see the full video go to the testimonials page here.
