About Therapeutic Plasma Exchange: A Clean Slate for Your Body and Brain
Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) is an advanced, non-surgical procedure that helps cleanse the bloodstream by removing and replacing a portion of your blood plasma with a combination of sterile saline, albumin, and a proprietary blend of essential nutrients. At Alzheimer’s Treatment Centers of America (ATCA), TPE is used to help remove harmful substances that accumulate in the body over time—including amyloid plaque, mold, heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, herbicides, microplastics, and forever chemicals.
By clearing these disruptive elements from the blood and cells, TPE may support improved brain function, reduce inflammation, and create a healthier internal environment for healing and cognitive recovery.
