Therapeutic Plasma Exchange 

Stay sharp.

We're all aging; there's no doubt about that. But there's now an option to slow the aging process, including cognitive decline.

Research shows that cognitive vitality thrives when the brain is well-nourished by a healthy, supportive blood supply. When circulation delivers quality nutrients and is less burdened by autoantibodies, inflammatory cytokines, and environmental toxins, the brain is better suited to function for sustained healthspan.

TPE for Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease

Conversation

If you feel vulnerable about cognitive function, and if you're experiencing worrisome symptoms, we're here to listen and offer you a path forward.

Before we begin, our experienced practitioners will determine if TPE is safe for you. We'll assess routine and specialized labs to assess for brain-specific antibodies, toxins, and oxidative stress.

Labs

For people concerned about dementia or Alzheimer's disease, we recommend becoming familiar with the AMBAR study. In brief, therapy can range from 6 to 14 sessions, depending on the severity of the condition.


TPE Sessions

After your initial TPE sessions, we repeat previous labs to see how much has changed. If symptoms are improving, we recommend monthly sessions up to 12 total. We then explore re-treatment every 6 months depending on your response.


Clinical Reassessment

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) is an FDA-backed procedure traditionally used in hospitals to treat acute, severe illness. Although not yet FDA-approved for outpatient clinic settings, recent research shows TPE can be effective tool for managing—and even reversing—certain autoimmune and age-related conditions.
If we don't think TPE is the right next step for you, we'll guide you to other options.

Is TPE right for me?

What to Expect

Safety and Research

Cost

Am I eligible for TPE?

Generally speaking, TPE may be appropriate and effective for you unless you are:
  • severely anemic
  • experiencing an active infection
  • have low blood pressure or uncontrolled bleeding
  • undergoing chemotherapy
  • pregnant
  • post-surgical within 6 weeks
  • younger than 18.

Our consultation and comprehensive assessment are designed to answer this question with certainty.


Is TPE guaranteed to work?


Although TPE can be effective for many people, the level of success depends largely on your commitment to a lifestyle that keeps your blood plasma clean.


Do I need to live in the Dallas area to receive TPE through you?


No, although you'll need to travel to our clinic for your sessions. We offer a local/extended stay protocol as well as an out-of-town/intensive protocol. During your consultation, we can explore if an intensive program would be safe and appropriate for you.


Is TPE painful?

Some people experience mild discomfort when the IVs are placed. 

How long do the sessions last?

Depending on your unique needs, health, and age, each session lasts between 90 minutes and 4 hours.

Can I go back to work or school after a session?


Yes, although we recommend limiting high-intensity activities for 48 hours following each session. 


What risks are associated with TPE?

You may experience inflammation at the IV sites, and any time you receive an IV there's a risk of infection. Other risks include hypocalcemia (low calcium in the blood), low blood pressure, and cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm). Our consultation and pre-session labs minimize these risks.


Is there research to support this use of TPE?



A significant number of studies point to TPE has an effective treatment for severe infection. We, and other clinics like us, are now applying that knowledge to outpatient settings, based on studies such as these:

Research is ongoing and promising.

What does TPE cost?


TPE is a highly specialized medical procedure, not a standard IV treatment. The cost reflects several key factors:
  • Advanced Equipment - TPE uses sophisticated machines similar to dialysis systems that require ongoing maintenance and calibration.
  • Single-Use Medical Supplies - Each session requires sterile tubing, filters, and replacement fluids (like albumin or plasma)
  • Safety Monitoring - Staff provides continuous supervision throughout the procedure due to the complexity of circulating and filtering blood
  • Clinical Expertise - Proper training and experience are essential to manage potential complications
  • Liability and compliance - High standards of care and malpractice coverage contribute to overall costs.
