Turning Pain into Purpose: The Story behind the Birth of Wellness Reboot, Lake Mary, FL.

My story and personal journey through Long COVID, discovery, and renewal.

"I knew that something had changed in my body and there was something wrong with my blood and mitochondria."

Searching for Answers

Back in early 2022, I contracted COVID-19. It was a relatively minor infection with a low-grade fever and mostly gastrointestinal symptoms. After about a week I no longer tested positive and was ready to get back to normal life.

Dr. Craig's Journey and Personal Journey Through Long Covid, discovery, and renewal.

A few days later I was bedridden! Severe fatigue and anxiety had taken over my body with an elevated heart rate and cognitive issues. I was bedridden for almost an entire month. My life had now been upended as a father to two young girls and a physician running a small business. Everything had to come to a screeching halt.

I immediately got a bunch of tests and scans performed but no answers. I began studying the make-up of the virus and its impact on the human body and consulted with researchers and physicians around the world and throughout the USA. We collaborated for weeks and months. I knew that something had changed in my body and there was something wrong with my blood and mitochondria. I tested just about every nutraceutical product out there, but nothing made a change.

Discovering Micro Clots

I had my blood analyzed under an electron microscope and it was determined that there was an enormous amount of micro clots circulating within the blood. I tried an experimental regimen of strong blood thinners and anti-coagulants. This too did not change the way I felt.

Seeing Multiple Doctors – Still No Answers

By this time, I had seen multiple general physicians, neurologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, acupuncturists, and even Chinese Medicine physicians. All being told the same thing:

"This is all new to us and we have no idea what's wrong with you. We are waiting for guidance from the CDC and AMA."

Connecting the Dots

In early 2023, I had some very expensive and specific blood immune profile tests performed at the Neuro-Immune Laboratory at Nova Southeastern University, which again added another piece to the puzzle. I have now determined that:

"COVID-19 is not a respiratory virus at all. It's a vascular virus causing an immense inflammatory response."

The body's response to this damage was what was causing micro clots in my blood and elevated cytokine and chemokine levels. The blood then becomes thicker, and all of these physiological responses were causing my symptoms. But how to fix it? I had already tried everything.

Learning About Apheresis and EBOO

I then learned that a group of researchers in Germany were handling Long COVID patients with a blood filtering machine called plasma apheresis. I reviewed the study data and contemplated trying to get on a plane to Germany, but I was in no shape to travel. That is when I stumbled upon EBOO Ozone Therapy. It made perfect sense. I already knew I had a major inflammatory reaction occurring with inflammatory proteins and metabolic waste in my blood. I also knew that I was not carrying enough oxygen within the hemoglobin to small vessels, leading to anxiety, brain fog, POTS, and autonomic dysregulation.

"Here was a machine that could filter out the bad proteins and waste byproducts while hyper-oxygenating the blood."

Experiencing EBOO for the First Time

The next challenge was locating a clinic with the EBOO machine. Very few physicians were familiar with its benefits or had invested in the equipment for their practice. Eventually, I found a clinic offering EBOO therapy and was able to undergo the procedure.

"It was life-changing! Even after just one session I felt the difference, which I had not felt after two and a half years of trying everything."

The Birth of Wellness Reboot

That was the pivotal moment when I decided that I must find a way to get this therapy to as many people as possible, especially those with Long COVID and chronic illness. Shortly afterwards we got working and Wellness Reboot was formed by myself and Dr. Fernandez. We truly feel that this type of therapy is what so many people need as they battle ill health.
