So when I had COVID, for about six months after having COVID and getting it treated, my heart rate variability was down in the dumps, which happens to a lot of people with long COVID. But my heart rate consistently elevated all night long.
Heart rate variability really down. And my regular resting heart rate was very elevated. And then I started doing plasma exchange just to test it on myself and have the nurses practice on me, really. And complete change around. And most people will see their heart rate variability improve. And especially if you have long COVID, if you're suffering with heart rate elevation, you'll see that improve.

This is incredible. And like with the heart rate variability that you had mentioned earlier, COVID makes antibodies to your autonomic nervous system. That's right. If you have antibodies to your autonomic nervous system, your heart rate can't be variable.

And so this is the mechanism by how this stuff works. And I think there's always a tendency when we talk about novel therapies like this to think that it's woo-woo and it's not really proven. But what I can say about... plasma exchange is it really goes back to the fundamentals of medicine, right? Like we know why people get into a disease state.

It's inflammation is one of the root causes of disease. This is directly removing inflammatory biomarkers from your bloodstream and directly reducing inflammation. You can see it, you can measure it. And so from there, if we provide your organs, the milieu in which to thrive and you remove the inflammation, all your organs are going to get better, right?

And so therefore, you're going to avoid chronic disease and reverse chronic disease as well. And we see that with Alzheimer's too.

Yeah, I can see it in the bag of plasma that we get. You can see how cloudy it is dependent on the number of things floating around in there, right? And especially if they have high lipid levels too. It gets really foamy. You can see that in the plasma as well.

Yeah, and this is where I'm just so mind-blown at how approaching a problem differently can make such a tremendous difference. And we know Alzheimer's, more and more of us are suffering from Alzheimer's. There's research out there showing that up to a third of us will suffer from Alzheimer's in the next few decades. And it's just too high of a number.
