Mar 28, 2026 
Dr. Eric Gordon, physician known for treating complex chronic illness like Lyme, ME/CFS, and mitochondrial dysfunction. He discusses chronic illness as a stalled healing state and the cell danger response. The conversation covers plasmapheresis—what it is, what it removes, safety and prep, and how shifting circulating signals might reset biology. Practical tips on who might consider the therapy and how to prepare are also explored.

Episode notes
Senescent Cells Drive Low Grade Systemic Inflammation
- Chronic low-level inflammation accumulates as partly healed or senescent cells release signaling molecules that degrade function over time.
- This process reduces trace mineral absorption via hepcidin, impairing vitamin-dependent enzymes and slowing metabolism.
How To Schedule Plasmapheresis For Autoantibodies
- Use plasmapheresis for antibody‑driven acute or selected chronic conditions after planning five to seven sessions over 2–3 weeks.
- Replace plasma with albumin and space sessions (every 3–4 days outpatient) to allow clotting factors and recovery.
Broad Reprogramming Beats Excessive Specificity
- Non‑specific interventions that change the body's information milieu can reboot regulation better than narrowly targeted drugs in complex disorders.
- Plasmapheresis acts as a dirty but effective reset by removing many circulating signaling molecules at once.
