Apheresis: The Breakthrough Therapy for Chronic and Mystery Illness Now at TLC
Starting June, The Lyday Center will offer apheresis—an advanced therapeutic modality gaining traction in the integrative and functional medicine world. Known for its role in treating chronic, complex, and "mystery" illnesses, apheresis is a cutting-edge tool with compelling research supporting its benefits for brain health, detoxification, anti-aging, and synergy with other regenerative therapies like stem cells and EBOO (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation).
Let’s explore what apheresis is, how it works, why it’s revolutionary in chronic illness care, and what you can expect as a patient.
What is Apheresis?
Apheresis is a medical technology that separates and removes specific components of the blood—such as lipids, inflammatory proteins, autoantibodies, or toxins—before returning the filtered blood back to the body. It functions like a highly selective blood purification system, akin to dialysis, but targets the pathological elements that fuel systemic inflammation and cellular dysfunction.
There are different types, but the most promising for chronic illness includes therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and double-filtration plasmapheresis. These forms help "reset" the immune system and detoxify the blood at a deep level.
Why Apheresis is a Game-Changer for Chronic and Mystery Illness
For individuals with chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome), autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, and even unexplained systemic symptoms, apheresis addresses one of the most common underlying drivers: a toxic, inflamed internal terrain.
Mechanism of Action:
Removes toxic bioaccumulations (mold toxins, mycotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals, etc.)
Reduces inflammatory cytokines (which drive systemic and brain inflammation)
Improves blood viscosity and microcirculation, aiding oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues
Lowers autoantibodies and immune complexes, providing relief in autoimmune diseases
Downregulates immune hyperreactivity, helping calm the overactive systems in long COVID and post-viral syndromes
By offloading the burden on the body’s detox organs and immune system, it restores a foundation of clarity and resilience the body desperately needs to heal.
The Synergy: Apheresis + Stem Cells + EBOO
At TLC, we believe healing is not one-dimensional. That’s why combining apheresis with stem cell therapy and EBOO offers a triple-tiered therapeutic effect:
Apheresis clears the “terrain,” making the body more receptive to healing signals
Stem Cells regenerate and repair tissue—especially when inflammation has been mitigated
EBOO further oxygenates and disinfects the blood while modulating immune response
This combination enhances cellular signaling, improves tissue regeneration, and provides a comprehensive bio-regenerative reset.
What to Expect After 1, 2, or 3 Apheresis Sessions
After 1 Treatment:
Many patients feel a "lighter" or "clearer" sensation mentally and physically
Early improvements in brain fog, joint pain, or fatigue may emerge
Some may experience a brief detox reaction (e.g., headache, tiredness)—a sign that inflammatory mediators are being removed
After 2 Treatments:
Cognitive benefits such as sharper memory, improved focus, and emotional clarity often intensify
Energy levels rise as oxygen delivery improves and toxic load diminishes
Better sleep, mood stabilization, and decreased inflammation are commonly reported
After 3 Treatments:
Lasting systemic changes become more evident—chronic symptoms diminish in frequency or severity
The body enters a more stable healing and regeneration phase
Patients frequently report a sense of vitality and hope returning
Results vary, but the trajectory is often upward, especially when combined with lifestyle, nutritional, and cellular medicine protocols.
Apheresis for Brain Health and Anti-Aging
Research increasingly supports the role of apheresis in neurodegeneration prevention, cognitive enhancement, and longevity. A 2022 study published in Nature found that plasma exchange reduced neurotoxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease, leading to cognitive improvement.
Other findings suggest apheresis may:
Lower AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) and oxidative stress
Decrease biological age markers
Improve vascular health, a key determinant of aging
Used as part of a preventative health strategy, apheresis can help preserve mental sharpness, cellular function, and youthfulness into older age.
Is Apheresis Right for You?
If you’re struggling with chronic illness, unexplained fatigue, cognitive decline, or have tried many other treatments with limited results, apheresis could offer a new beginning.
At TLC, our team will conduct a comprehensive intake, review labs and imaging, and design a personalized healing roadmap. Apheresis may be used as a foundational detox, or in rotation with other powerful tools in our clinic.
Take the Next Step in Your Healing Journey
We are excited to bring this cutting-edge therapy to our patients starting June 2025. Availability will be limited initially as we ensure a deeply attentive and safe rollout. If you're interested in being among the first to experience apheresis, we invite you to contact our team for an early consultation.
The path to healing begins with clearing the way. Let apheresis help you begin again.
