In a Nutshell

Dr. Tami Lyday, a functional medicine expert in mold illness, Lyme, and autoimmunity, uses **EBOO** (extracorporeal blood oxygenation/ozonation, ~$1,500/session, treats 2L blood to kill viruses/bacteria, reduce fibrin/inflammation, boost mitochondria) and **TPE** (therapeutic plasma exchange, ~$7,000/session, removes cytokines/toxins/spike proteins/mycotoxins from plasma) as breakthrough therapies for chronic conditions like Hashimoto's, Long COVID, dementia, CFS, fibromyalgia, and neurodegeneration—often resolving symptoms after addressing mold first with binders (e.g., cholestyramine), antifungals (e.g., BEGGi nasal spray, nystatin), and environment remediation (ERMI/HERTSMI-2 testing). 90% of "chronic Lyme" cases involve mold; these therapies excel post-detox (3x weekly EBOO initially, 2x weekly TPE for severe cases), combined with stem cells for regeneration, yielding dramatic gains like 61% cognitive improvement and brain fog clearance.
