At BMC Clinic, we follow the guidelines of the IFM (Institute of Functional Medicine) and the FLCCC Alliance (Frontline Critical Care for COVID-19).
We review your comprehensive functional medicine medical history, physical examination, and relevant laboratory tests. We consider the clear criteria for diagnosing long COVID, including symptoms that last more than four weeks after infection.
Designing a long-term COVID-19 protocol within the framework of Functional Medicine involves a holistic and integrative approach.
Our Approach:
⤷ Comprehensive Assessment
⤷ Personalized Treatment Plan
⤷ Suggested Personalized Therapies
Potential Benefits for Long COVID:
⤷ Reduction of Chronic Inflammation: Ozone therapy can modulate the immune system and reduce chronic inflammation, which is often elevated in patients with long COVID.
⤷ Improved Oxygenation: Improving oxygen delivery to tissues could help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue and improve energy levels.
⤷ Immune Support: By modulating the immune response, ozone therapy could help balance an overactive or dysregulated immune system.
⤷ Antimicrobial Properties: While the main problem in long COVID is not active viral infection, ozone's antimicrobial properties could be helpful if there are residual viral particles or secondary infections.
