Provider Appointments
Due to the dynamic, multi-system nature of Long Haul Covid, our PASC treatment model is built to support patients with a high level of 1:1 care. Patients have frequent visits with providers as they begin care through us. In the first 4 months, patients are seen 3 times. Their initial visit is an hour long, and the two followups are 30 minutes each. This initial phase of care is designed to help patients that may be highly sensitive to changes in their internal and external environment (ie: new meds, supplements, etc…) adapt to a plan of care. After the initial phase of care, there are continued care options

Proactive Nursing Support
We use a staff of Registered Nurses, not Nursing Assistants, to maintain a high level of quality care throughout the patient experience. Our RNs provide frequent check-ins with patients in-between appointments. In the initial 4 month program, nurses provide proactive phone call check-ins every other week to help PASC patients manage flares, adjust to care plans, etc… The goal is to ensure patient adherence to a plan of care, help manage symptoms, and address patient questions. Patients can also proactively call the nursing line at any time if their needs require it. Our patient portal also allows for secure messaging. Nursing support goes on for the duration of patient treatment.

Evidence-Based Treatment
Evidence-based medicine is a systematic approach to patient care that that combines clinical expertise, research evidence, and patient values. We have been on the leading edge, proving Long Covid Treatment, for 4 years now. Our clinical experience has provided us with a wealth of knowledge on which approaches to use, and when. We have treated thousands of patients that have seen recovery from severe illness. Our providers keep up to date with the latest on spike protein pathology research to try and uncover additional treatment options.
Pricing
The initial 4 months of care, which includes 3 visits with one of our skilled clinicians and support from the RN staff, is $3,900. The initial visit is a comprehensive hour long appointment. The two followups are 30 minutes each. The RN Staff support includes proactive and coordinated followup from a specialized and dedicated Registered Nursing team. They provide proactive followup calls every other week during the 4 month program. In addition to proactive calls, there is also business hour phone line accessibility to your dedicated nursing staff as you need. You also can send the nursing staff 7 messages/week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have Long Haul Covid?
Quick Answer: You may have Long Covid (PASC) if you experience persistent symptoms lasting more than 4 weeks after COVID-19 infection, especially severe fatigue, brain fog, and post-exertional malaise (PEM).
Common Long Covid Symptoms:
Primary Symptoms (Most Common):
– Severe, persistent fatigue
– Brain fog and cognitive dysfunction
– Post-exertional malaise (PEM) – worsening symptoms after activity
Additional Long Covid Symptoms:
– Cardiovascular: Heart palpitations, chest pain, POTS (dysautonomia)
– Respiratory: Shortness of breath, exercise intolerance
– Neurological: Small fiber neuropathy, fasciculations, visual snow, headaches, tinnitus, loss of taste/smell
– Gastrointestinal: Digestive issues, nausea, diarrhea, new food sensititivities, etc…
– Immune System: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), reactivation of latent viruses, Autoimmune issues (new or worsening of existing)
– Other: Myocarditis/pericarditis, thrombotic events, autoimmune conditions, lymphadenopathy, diabetes
How Long Covid is Diagnosed:
There are no specific biomarkers for Long Covid. Diagnosis is based on:
1. Timeline: Symptoms persisting 4+ weeks after COVID infection
2. Pattern: Initial infection → brief recovery → subsequent decline
3. Multi-system symptoms: Affecting multiple body systems
4. Exclusion: Other causes ruled out
Key Question: “Did I see an abnormally rapid decline in health after getting COVID?”
When to Seek Long Covid Treatment:
If you’re experiencing these symptoms and they’re affecting your daily function, specialized Long Covid care can help. Early intervention leads to better outcomes.

Step 2: Understanding Your Root Causes
We don’t just treat symptoms – we identify WHY you’re sick:
Most Long Covid patients have multiple underlying issues:
Common Root Causes We Address:
- Persistent spike protein – ongoing inflammatory trigger
- Microclotting – reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery
- Immune dysregulation – overactive or underactive immune response
- Mitochondrial dysfunction – cellular energy problems
- Redox Impairment – oxidative/antioxidant imbalance leading to ROS
- Autonomic nervous system dysfunction – POTS, dysautonomia
- Mast cell activation – histamine and inflammatory mediator release
- Viral reactivation – EBV, HHV-6, other latent viruses
- Gut dysbiosis – microbiome imbalance due to spike protein bacteriophage
- Neuroinflammation – brain and nervous system inflammation
Your treatment targets YOUR specific root causes
—
Step 3: Multi-Layered Treatment Approach
We use a comprehensive toolkit – not one-size-fits-all protocols:
Medical Interventions
Repurposed therapies and intereventions tailored to your symptoms. Some examples include:
- Immune system modulators
- Endothelial support medications
- Antihistamine protocols for MCAS

Step 4: What Makes Our Treatment Different
Personalized, Not Protocol-Based
Generic “Spike Detox” Programs:
- ❌ Same supplement list for everyone
- ❌ No medical oversight
- ❌ No adjustment for individual needs
- ❌ No follow-up care
Leading Edge Clinic Approach:
- ✅ Tailored to YOUR specific symptoms
- ✅ Medical supervision by experienced providers
- ✅ Combination of prescription + supplements + lifestyle
- ✅ Ongoing optimization based on response
- ✅ Proactive RN follow-up between appointments
Root Cause, Not Symptom Suppression
Most doctors:
- Treat individual symptoms in isolation
- Use symptom-masking approaches
- Don’t address underlying pathology
- Give up if first approach doesn’t work
- One-trick ponies with a limited breadth of treatment experience
Our approach:
- Identify and address root causes
- Multi-system treatment strategies
- Evidence-based protocols from latest research
- Multiple tools in toolkit – we adjust until you improve
- Connected with clinicians and researchers on the frontlines; we create the protocols, we don’t wait for someone else
Comprehensive, Not Single-Focus
We address ALL aspects of Long Covid:
- Spike protein pathology
- Blood viscosity and microclotting
- Immune system regulation
- Mitochondrial energy production
- Autonomic nervous system function
- Neurological healing
- Gut-immune connection
- Hormonal balance
- Sleep and circadian rhythm
Most patients need treatment across multiple systems in additiona to foundational healing approaches

We don’t just treat Long Covid – we help you reclaim your life.
Disclaimer: Treatment plans are individualized based on comprehensive evaluation. Information provided here is educational and not a substitute for personalized medical care. All treatment decisions are made collaboratively between patient and provider.
Will I make a full recovery?
The short answer: Yes — the vast majority of our Long Covid patients experience meaningful, lasting improvement. Many return to full function. Even our most complex cases make significant progress over time.
The honest answer: Recovery from Long Covid is real, but it is rarely a straight line.
—
What Recovery Actually Looks Like:
Recovery is possible — and we’ve seen it happen thousands of times. Here’s what our patients experience:
Most patients (nearly all):
- Experience meaningful improvement under our care
- See progress across multiple symptoms simultaneously
- Report significantly better quality of life within 3-6 months
- Return to work, exercise, and normal activities over time
Many patients:
- Achieve full return to their “before” state of health
- Reach a point where Long Covid no longer defines their day
- Are able to taper or discontinue most treatments
Even our most complex patients:
- Make significant improvements, even if full recovery takes longer
- Continue to reach new milestones over time
- Experience reduction in severity and frequency of symptoms
—
Why Recovery Isn’t Always Linear:
This is something we want to be upfront about — recovery from Long Covid rarely follows a straight path.
What to expect along the way:
Good periods:
- Increased energy and mental clarity
- Better exercise tolerance
- Fewer symptom flares
- Feeling “like yourself” again
Harder periods:
- Temporary setbacks after illness, stress, or overexertion
- Symptoms that fluctuate before stabilizing
- Progress that feels slow or uneven
This is normal. The complex, multi-system nature of Long Covid means recovery involves many overlapping healing processes — immune regulation, cellular repair, nervous system rebalancing, and more. Progress is real even when it doesn’t feel linear.
While some mild cases improve over time on their own, moderate to severe Long Covid often requires targeted medical intervention to address underlying root causes. Without treatment, many patients plateau or decline over time — which is why early intervention matters. The sooner treatment begins, the better the outcomes tend to be.
—
What Determines Your Recovery Outlook?
Factors that influence recovery speed and depth:
Favorable factors:
- Earlier intervention (sooner you seek care, better outcomes)
- Milder initial infection or vaccine reaction
- Fewer pre-existing conditions
- Ability to pace activity and avoid crashes
- Adherence to treatment protocols
More challenging factors:
- Long duration before treatment (years, not months, which increases issues such as senescent cell burden)
- Multiple or severe comorbidities
- Inability to rest and reduce stressors
- Repeated re-exposures that stall progress
Our experience: Even patients who come to us after years of illness and multiple failed treatments continue to make
progress. Long Covid is not permanent for the vast majority of patients we see — and outcomes continue to improve as our understanding of the condition deepens. We don’t give up on complex cases.
—
What “Full Recovery” Means to Our Patients:
Recovery looks different for everyone. For many, it means:
Functional Recovery:
- Returning to work (full or part-time)
- Being present for family and relationships
- Exercising again without crashes
- Sleeping well and waking rested
- Thinking clearly and holding focus
Symptomatic Recovery:
- Fatigue no longer limits daily life
- Brain fog lifted or minimal
- Heart rate and cardiovascular symptoms normalized
- GI issues resolved or managed
- Pain reduced significantly
Life Recovery:
- Traveling, socializing, pursuing hobbies
- No longer planning life around symptoms
- Feeling hopeful about the future
- Off most or all medications
Even if “100%” takes time, most patients reach a pointwhere Long Covid no longer runs their life.
—
On Long-Term Maintenance and Relapse Prevention:
Some patients who reach full functional recovery choose to continue a low-level maintenance approach. This is because ongoing exposures in daily life can sometimes trigger new symptoms, and proactive maintenance helps prevent relapse.
This is a choice, not a requirement. We work with each patient to determine what long-term approach makes sense for their life and goals — and we provide guidance on relapse prevention as part of every care plan.
Duration of illness does not disqualify you from recovery. We treat many patients who have been ill for 2-4+ years. Progress may take longer, but improvement is still achievable. We’ve seen long-term patients reach milestones they once thought impossible.
—
Recovery timelines and outcomes vary by individual. The experiences described reflect our patient population and are not a guarantee of specific results.
How is Leading Edge Clinic different from other Long Covid providers?
The short answer: We treat every patient as an individual experiment — combining the latest research and outside subject matter expertise with direct clinical observation from 3,000+ patients to build treatment plans that go far beyond what standard care, online detox programs, or even well-meaning generalists can offer.
—
We Understand the Landscape You’re Navigating:
If you’ve been researching Long Covid treatment, you already know two things are true:
1. There is an overwhelming amount of information online — much of it conflicting, confusing, and hard to evaluate.
2. There are predatory providers in this space — people exploiting the desperation of chronically ill patients for financial gain.
We see this clearly, and we want to be direct: our differences from both predatory practices AND well-meaning but under-equipped providers come down to one thing — what we do with the information we have.
—
Everyone Has Access to the Same Research. We Do More With It.
The published research on Long Covid, spike protein pathology, and PASC is available to any provider. What separates Leading Edge Clinic is how we apply it:
We treat every patient as n=1
Rather than applying a standard protocol and moving on, we treat each patient as their own unique case study. This means:
- Observing individual responses to treatment in detail
- Tracking what works, what doesn’t, and why
- Carrying insights from one patient’s response into the next
- Building a clinical knowledge base that no research paper can replicate
This is how we’ve discovered clinical insights unavailable in published literature — observations that have proven meaningful across hundreds of patients, discovered only because we pay close attention to each individual.
—
How We Differ From Common Alternatives:
vs. Your Primary Care Doctor or Specialist:
Most primary care physicians and specialists — even excellent ones — are not equipped for Long Covid. This isn’t a criticism. It’s a resource and training issue.
| Primary Care / Specialist | Leading Edge Clinic |
| Long Covid training | Minimal to none | Exclusive specialty |
| Appointment length | 15 minutes | 60 minutes |
| Treatment approach | Single-system focus | Multi-system root cause |
| Research currency | General medicine | Latest Long Covid-specific research |
| Follow-up | Scheduled visits only | Proactive RN check-ins |
| Patients treated | A handful, if any | 3,000+ |
vs. Online “Spike Detox” Programs:
Many patients come to us after trying generic detox protocols found online. We respect that these resources often provide a starting point — but for most patients with moderate to severe Long Covid, they are not enough.
| Generic Detox Protocol | Leading Edge Clinic |
| Personalization | One-size-fits-all | Tailored to your presentation |
| Medical oversight | None | Licensed physicians and FNPs |
| Prescription access | No | Yes, when clinically indicated |
| Follow-up care | None | Ongoing RN and provider support |
| Adjustments | Static protocol | Dynamic, adjusted to response |
| Complex case support | Not equipped | Our specialty |
vs. Other Long Covid Clinics:
Long Covid clinics vary widely in approach, experience, and philosophy. What sets us apart:
Clinical volume matters:
Treating 2,000+ patients creates pattern recognition that simply cannot be taught. We’ve seen presentations that would be puzzling in isolation, but make sense in the context of thousands of similar cases.
We combine research with observation:
We don’t only follow published guidelines — we integrate them with direct clinical observation. When we see something working consistently in our patients, we apply it. When something isn’t working despite published support, we adjust.
We have no financial incentive to over-treat:
Our goal is always maximum improvement at minimum cost to the patient. We actively look for the most affordable, effective approach — not the most revenue-generating one.
—
Something Unique Worth Knowing:
Our scheduling and intake team includes individuals who have personally experienced spike protein-related illness.
This means when you first contact our clinic:
- You’re speaking with someone who understands what you’re going through — not just professionally, but personally
- They can speak to the experience of being a patient here from firsthand knowledge
- They help determine whether we’re the right fit for you with genuine empathy and insight
This isn’t something most clinics can offer
It reflects who we are and how seriously we take the patient experience from the very first interaction.
—
Our Guiding Philosophy:
Data informs. Observation guides. The patient decides.
A lab result is a data point. A published study is a framework. But neither tells the full story of what a specific person needs to heal.
We combine:
- Published research — the foundation of every protocol
- 3,000+ patient observations — clinical pattern recognition unavailable in literature
- Your individual response — the most important data point of all
- Your goals and constraints — because sustainable treatment fits your life
The result is care that is more precise, more responsive, and more effective than any static protocol can provide.
What is the difference between Long Haul Covid and Vaccine Injury?
The short answer: In the context of treatment, less than you might think. Both conditions involve spike protein-driven pathology — and our clinical approach addresses both.
The important answer: Understanding the distinction helps set realistic expectations about your recovery, because the two conditions are not identical.
—
What They Have in Common:
Both Long Covid (PASC) and Post-Vaccine Syndrome (PACVS) share the same underlying driver: the body’s response to spike protein.
This means they share:
Similar symptom presentations:
- Fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM)
- Brain fog and cognitive dysfunction
- POTS and cardiovascular symptoms
- MCAS and histamine intolerance
- Neurological symptoms
- Immune dysregulation
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Cell Danger Response and senescent cell issues
Overlapping root causes:
- Persistent spike protein in tissues
- Immune system dysregulation
- Microclotting and blood flow disruption
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Autonomic nervous system impairment
- Mast cell activation
- Redox impairment
Highly similar treatment approaches:
Because the underlying pathology overlaps significantly, our treatment protocols for both conditions share a common foundation — adapted to each patient’s specific presentation and history.
—
Key Differences Between the Two:
While the conditions share much in common, there are meaningful clinical differences worth understanding:
Source of Spike Protein Exposure:
Long Covid (PASC):
The body’s ongoing response to spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Research suggests a “viral reservoir” may persist in certain tissues, providing ongoing immune stimulation even after the acute infection has resolved.
Post-Vaccine Syndrome (PACVS):
The body’s response to spike protein produced following mRNA vaccination. The nature, duration, and distribution of spike protein exposure differs from natural infection in ways that are still being studied and better understood.
Recovery Complexity:
Post-Vaccine Syndrome patients sometimes experience a more complex recovery pathway. This is an observation from our clinical experience with 3,000+ patients, and one we want to be transparent about — not to discourage, but to set honest expectations and ensure treatment plans are appropriately tailored.
This does not mean recovery is impossible — we see meaningful improvement in post-vaccine patients regularly. It means we approach these cases with the depth and nuance they require.
Symptom Nuances:
Some symptom patterns appear more frequently in one condition versus the other, though there is significant overlap. Identifying which condition is the primary driver — or whether both are present — is part of our comprehensive initial evaluation.
—
What if I’m Not Sure Which I Have?
This is more common than you might think — and it doesn’t need to stop you from seeking care.
Many patients have experienced both COVID-19 infection and vaccination. In these cases:
- Disentangling the two can be difficult
- It may not be clinically necessary to do so
- Treatment addresses the underlying spike protein pathology regardless of source
You don’t need a definitive diagnosis of one vs. the other to become a patient here. Our evaluation process identifies what your body needs — not just what label fits best.
—
What Both Conditions Require:
Regardless of whether your condition stems from infection, vaccination, or both:
- Specialized care from providers with deep experience in spike protein-related illness
- Multi-system evaluation — not single-symptom management
- Personalized protocols — not generic approaches
- Ongoing support — recovery is not linear for either condition
- Patience and persistence — both conditions can improve meaningfully with the right care
—
Our Experience With Both Conditions:
Leading Edge Clinic has treated over 3,000 patients with Long Covid, Post-Vaccine Syndrome, and overlapping presentations. This clinical volume means:
- We recognize patterns that aren’t in the published literature
- We understand the nuances between presentations
- We’ve refined our treatment through direct observation of what works — and what doesn’t
- We’ve seen recovery in both populations
We stay at the forefront of research on both conditions and integrate new findings into our protocols as the evidence develops.
