Long COVID
At House of Healing in Torrance, CA, we understand that Long COVID is not "all in your head." It's a debilitating, multi-system illness that leaves patients exhausted, dismissed, and searching for answers. Triple Board-Certified Dr. Stephanie H. Abrams and our team offer a deep dive into the root causes of your persistent symptoms—from mitochondrial dysfunction to chronic inflammation—using evidence-based, regenerative, and personalized treatment protocols. We don't just treat symptoms; we work to restore your function, your energy, and your hope.
Multi-system evaluation targeting the root cause: inflammation, viral persistence, microclots, and metabolic dysfunction.
Dietary & lifestyle protocols, Spike Purge Protocols, IV Therapies (High-Dose Vitamin C, NAD+), Totipotent Cell Therapy, and regenerative medicine.
Highly personalized. Initial intensive phase (weeks to months) followed by ongoing maintenance and monitoring.
Increased energy, reduced brain fog and fatigue, improved pain management, and restored organ system function.
Minimal. Treatments are typically non-invasive or minimally invasive (IVs, injections) and tailored to your fatigue level.
Long COVID, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is a complex, chronic condition where debilitating symptoms persist for weeks, months, or even years following an acute COVID-19 infection. For many of our patients, this feels like an illness you can't shake, leaving you with relentless fatigue, brain fog, and systemic pain.
Our approach is built on the philosophy of Root-Cause Medicine. We treat Long COVID not as a single diagnosis, but as an umbrella for underlying imbalances, including:
We employ Integrative Science to address these issues, combining advanced diagnostics with proven regenerative therapies and targeted medications/supplements.
At House of Healing, your treatment is a Personalized Pathway, not a standardized plan. After an extended, deep-dive consultation and comprehensive testing, Dr. Abrams designs a protocol focusing on "spike purging" and cellular repair.
Spike Purge Protocols & Medications: Interrupt inflammatory cycles and address issues like microclotting and viral remnants with medications and supplements. This may include Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to modulate the immune system and Methylene Blue for mitochondrial support and oxygen delivery.
IV Therapies: Bypass gut absorption issues to deliver essential nutrients, antioxidants, and cellular fuel directly into your system. Options include High-Dose Vitamin C, Glutathione, and NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) to boost cellular energy.
Regenerative Treatments: We offer advanced regenerative options like Totipotent Cell Therapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to address severe, persistent fatigue, neurological issues, and joint involvment. These work to decrease systemic inflammation and promote the healing of damaged tissues and cell function.
Dietary & Lifestyle Counseling: We provide specific, anti-inflammatory dietary plans and nervous system regulation tools to support your body's self-healing capacity.
Our integrative protocols are designed to treat the most common and debilitating manifestations of Long COVID, many of which overlap with other conditions like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Dysautonomia (POTS).
Our integrative treatments are designed to address the systemic nature of Long COVID, impacting the nervous system, cardiovascular system, metabolic pathways, and immune function, aiming for holistic, body-wide restoration.
Energy & Cognition Reclaimed
Our focus on Mitochondrial & Metabolic Dysfunction directly translates into tangible improvements. Patients report a significant decrease in "brain fog," clearer thinking, and—most importantly—a substantial reduction in the crushing, persistent fatigue that defines Long COVID. We help you move past the cycle of Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM).
Systemic Stabilization and Healing
By reducing chronic inflammation, addressing viral persistence, and utilizing therapies like Totipotent Cells, we are working at the foundational, cellular level. This leads to stabilization across multiple systems, improving sleep quality, easing systemic pain, and modulating the overactive immune response characteristic of this condition.
You are likely a strong candidate for our specialized Long COVID care if you:
Recovery from chronic illness is a process, not a destination. Since our treatments are typically minimally invasive (IVs, supplements, dietary changes), there is no significant 'downtime' in the surgical sense. The recovery focus is on aftercare and self-stewardship:
The goal of your Long COVID treatment plan is not merely symptom suppression—it's restoring function, purpose, and hope. Because our approach is personalized, results vary, but patients typically begin to notice shifts within 4 to 8 weeks as inflammation subsides and cellular energy improves.
The most profound changes often include a breakthrough in chronic fatigue, sharper mental clarity, and the ability to re-engage with activities you had to set aside. Our integrative therapies, especially regenerative options, are designed to create lasting, foundational changes that allow your body to stabilize and heal, giving you a chance to finally get your life back.
Choosing a doctor for a complex illness is the most critical step you can take. At House of Healing, you benefit from a rare blend of Triple Board-Certification and Lived Expertise. Dr. Stephanie H. Abrams brings 25 years of medical competence, extensive NIH-funded research, and a personal understanding of chronic, multi-system illness (hEDS, MCAS, POTS are part of her family’s experience). We don't just know the data—we understand the struggle.
We offer advanced, integrated treatments that are not available in traditional settings, bridging the gap between conventional medicine and true healing.
“We believe you.” Our faith-based compassion means you walk into a sanctuary where you don’t have to prove your pain. We listen, we investigate, and we walk beside you on the road to recovery.
As a concierge, specialized integrative clinic, we operate on an out-of-network model. This allows us to offer extended visits, direct access, and the most advanced regenerative treatments without the restrictions of insurance companies. We provide you with the necessary documentation to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Our Spike Purge Protocols are evidence-based, integrative strategies designed to help your body clear inflammatory proteins and viral remnants associated with Long COVID. These protocols use a combination of targeted supplements and medications (like LDN and natural antivirals) that are carefully selected and monitored by Dr. Abrams for safety and efficacy.
Long COVID is a chronic condition, and healing takes time. Most patients enter an initial intensive phase (3-6 months) focused on stabilization and significant symptom reduction, followed by a personalized, long-term maintenance plan that helps prevent relapse and supports continued wellness.
Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome share significant underlying pathologies, and many of our patients meet the diagnostic criteria for both. Our treatment protocols address these core, overlapping root causes, making the approach effective for both Long COVID and ME/CFS.
