Chryso Zorbas

Clinical Director and Clinical Nutritionist

 Chryso Zorbas is our clinical director and clinical nutritionist. She works with all our patients and directly with our medical team to assure that each patient gets an individualised Combination Therapy plan which is well balanced and real-time adapted by the medical team. She will also hold your hand nutritionally from day one and guide you along the therapy with a personalized diet plan that will enhance your recovery process.

Combining the two fields of clinical management and clinical nutrition – working as the perfect connector directly between the medical team and the patients, whilst optimizing the patients diet during the treatment course is a highly specialised field. Her acquired knowledge in directing large-scale projects during the last years has prepared her for this new field where cutting-edge medicine in the form of Combination Therapy meets optimizing clinical nutrition.

She has acquired her master’s from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.

Dr. Beate Jaeger, Medical Advisor

Dr. Beate Jaeger

Medical Advisor

Dr. Beate Jaeger, our clinic’s medical advisor delivers invaluable data to our medical team which cooperates with her by exchanging data and clinical experience. All of our H.E.L.P. Apheresis protocols are based on her work. She recently has published a larger case study about H.EL.P. Apheresis for Long Covid. Our common current focus is to constantly find more affordable and available treatments for the patients, as Help Apheresis despite the great results seen in the last years also has downsides: costs involved/low coverage of insurances and low availability of machines in the next years.
