Blood clots and D-dimer test

Since blood clots can be an effect of the shots I’m wondering if a D-dimer blood test - which indicates blood clotting - would show if clotting were happening? D-dimer is “a protein fragment that your body makes when a blood clot dissolves in your body”. So I’m wondering if the clots that the shot can create are able to fragment or dissolve and show up in a d-dimer test. Or are they a different kind of clot that might not produce those fragments???

I asked Copilot the following question: “If a microclot is resistant to fibrinolysis would this cause a d-dimer test to be ineffective at identification?”

Copilot answer:

Yes — that’s exactly the kind of scenario where a D‑dimer test can give a misleadingly low result.

Here’s why:

  • What D‑dimer measures — It detects fragments of cross‑linked fibrin that are released when a clot is broken down by the body’s fibrinolytic system.

  • The catch with fibrinolysis‑resistant microclots — Some microclots, especially those with abnormal fibrin structures (like fibrin‑amyloid or “fibrinaloid” forms), are unusually resistant to plasmin‑mediated breakdown. If they aren’t being degraded, they won’t release much D‑dimer into circulation.

  • Observed pattern — Studies have found cases where patients had a high burden of microclots but low D‑dimer levels, because impaired plasmin generation or altered fibrin architecture prevented normal lysis.

  • Implication —** A normal or low D‑dimer result doesn’t necessarily rule out the presence of such persistent microclots. Detecting them may require specialized assays, such as fluorescence microscopy of platelet‑poor plasma stained with amyloid‑binding dyes like Thioflavin T.**

In short, if the clot isn’t breaking down, the D‑dimer “signal” stays quiet — even if the microclots themselves are still causing trouble.

See this article:

Persistent clotting protein pathology in Long COVID/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is accompanied by increased levels of antiplasmin | Cardiovascular Diabetology | Full Text

“Here we refer to it as Long COVID/PASC. Lingering symptoms persist for as much as 6 months (or longer) after acute infection, where COVID-19 survivors complain of recurring fatigue or muscle weakness, being out of breath, sleep difficulties, and anxiety or depression. Given that blood clots can block microcapillaries and thereby inhibit oxygen exchange, we here investigate if the lingering symptoms that individuals with Long COVID/PASC manifest might be due to the presence of persistent circulating plasma microclots that are resistant to fibrinolysis.

Wow . . . thank you so much, jrgerber. So much for easy answers like “just get a D-dimer test”. I have a friend in Canada who got several shots and wasn’t concerned at all. Then her friend took her to have a live blood analysis and she saw for herself that there was clotting happening.

Do you know if Nattokinase is enough to dissolve the clots? Or another way?

I’d like to be able to pass on reliable information and what you’ve posted is extremely helpful (even if not the desired answer : ) :folded_hands: )

I-PREVENT: Vaccine Injury - Independent Medical Alliance is the protocol.
“The primary approach to preventing delayed complications from vaccination is to enhance the body’s ability to eliminate spike protein. This is best achieved by practicing intermittent fasting/time-restricted eating and with a supplement like resveratrol, which activates autophagy and encourages the removal of spike protein. In addition, nattokinase, a naturally derived enzyme, breaks down extracellular spike protein and is a potent fibrinolytic agent, which breaks down blood clots. Furthermore, treating hyperinsulinemia likely limits both endothelial inflammation and carcinogenesis. We have added other interventions to this core treatment approach that likely have additional benefits. These include anti-platelet and fibrinolytic agents, which are central to the prevention of cardiovascular events following vaccination.”

There is also a very close connection between the IMA protocol and Dr. Peter MCCullough’s:

Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

He most recently added to his overall protocol:

*The gout medicine Dr. Peter McCullough has mentioned in his expanded protocol is colchicine. *

*In his “Base Spike Detox” framework, colchicine isn’t part of the core triple combination (nattokinase, bromelain, curcumin) — instead, he lists it as an additional treatment when there are significant pleuropericardial problems (inflammation involving the membranes around the heart and lungs). *

Personally, the threat of blood clots is very real to me in having post vaccine syndrome myself. Further, my brother died a very unusual and rare death back in May where he had a massive bilateral thrombosis (in both legs at the same time). Yes, he was vaccinated. No, I didn’t understand the risk and protocol in time to save him.

The problem is:

  1. People don’t know they have micro clots forming - as stated in the video above, you need someone with a platelet aggregometer (not a common clinical item) and the blood needs to be processed locally immediately after being drawn and can’t be sent to a lab due to the platelet instability.

  2. The Hybrid Hypothesis Study here in IMAHealth shows the plausibility of how you can continue to build and contribute to problems in the body the more you are exposed to spike protein either from viral infection or injection. i.e. it can sneak up on you.

  3. If you do identify that you have a problem with micro clots, the spike makes it VERY difficult to break it down.

  4. Outside of these protocols mentioned, as far as I know, there is no good way to address these clots. It’s the best we’ve got.

One more post here, I by chance talked to someone today who said they can order a micro clot test at the Leading Edge Clinic (Dr. Pierre Kory’s). So, there is indeed some type of test though it isn’t a D-dimer test. The answer is out there…

Bless you, Jeff.
You are a kind and generous man. :folded_hands: Sandi

I think I found it, Dr. Kory talks about a Thromboelastography (TEG) test.

Dr Pierre Kory, Part 1, Steroids and anticoagulants

At the 15-minute mark: “…hypercoagulable with zero what’s called fibrinolysis. Right, so fibrinolysis is normally active in the body. Zero. So, once the clots were forming, they were not breaking down.”

:tada: :glowing_star: :folded_hands: :victory_hand: :face_blowing_a_kiss:

The TEG test seems to be very specialized - not available to most people. Looks like using a protocol to dissolve potential clots is the most available. Trusting that it works.

According to the Midwestern Doctor substack writer, Neprinol afd is a good supplement to break down those clots. The Midwestern Doctor: The Forgotten Side of Medicine is a wonderful substack. I suspect most here are aware of this writer, but if not, it is a wealth of intelligent, researched, information of the highest integrity. A true gift to humanity.

:+1: Thanks gratitude

As a no medical background person - many Real Doctors who provided Real Treatment for covid used the d-dimer test,

Thanks to the Italians who did autopsies on people who died of covid in
early 2020, ignoring the evil W.H.O. who was saying not to do autopsies,
at least some learned covid-19 was a vascular injury / blood clumping
progressing to blood clotting disease. A few others raised the alarm.

By Mid 2020 research, well discussed here (Discussion with Dr David Scheim about the effects of Vascular Occlusion during COVID. HIBBERD HEALTH Jennifer Hibberd

) had confirmed that Sialic acid and CD147 receptors are points of
initial attachment by SARS-COV-2 to the host endothelial cells and the
blood cells and that ivermectin was specifically indicated here to to stop and reverse the blood clumping before the clumps hardened into clots and micro-clots

Please let me introduce You to the covid times work with colchicine from covid times Hero Dr. Darrell DeMello . He amassed, perhaps, the most thoroughly documented record of the largest number of patients treated for covid, post covid and long covid up to 6 months using protocols including colchicine and perhaps also the record of the use of a colchicine protocol prophylactically to prevent “vaccine” injury.

To my knowledge this is not currently compiled into a click and read paper. You can perhaps best learn about it by viewing most every covid times video interview Dr Darrell DeMello has given, which I have done, and then by contacting Dr Darrell DeMello personally which numbers of people have said was most helpful. You will find a most comprehensive body of knowledge rearguards treatment for covid, post covid and long covid with real benefit from using colchicine provided treatment is initiated within an effectiveness window that decreases over 6 months post infection. I have no knowledge of Dr Darrell DeMello’s more recent fruitful efforts, if any, treating long covid / “vaccine” injury started past this treatment window.

Early in 2020 Dr DeMello researched and designed a covid treatment protocol and began personally treating covid patients in his office and whole families in their homes in the Mumbai, India area where Real Doctors are largely free to practice Real Medicine and within the context of wide available of very low cost generic drugs*, tests and scans and within the contest of his practice which included a large number of people from “the corporate houses” who could afford every beneficial medical test and scan to be employed during their treatment which allowed him to rapidly refine his protocol.

Dr Darrell DeMello particularly focused his outpatient covid treatment protocol on preventing and addressing clotting. Initially 4 doses of Ivermectin over 2 days + colchicine (particularly for its inhibition of IL6 etc) 2ea .5mg tablets in the morning 1 in the evening (or .6 mg tablets in the US) with dose adjusted down for elderly, children and also variably timed dosing in consideration those on dialysis + plavix/clopidogrel (to control platelet “bounceback”) (he found aspirin not up to the task changed to include clopidogrel to help control “platelet bounceback”) + antihistamine cetirizine / levocetirizine + on clinical diagnosis of disease progression use of steroids, he used Dexamethasone (he thought this was the best steroid to take when taking colchicine) and anticoagulant (he used Enoxaparin) with 1 marker for start being blood oxygen dropping below 95 ( initially he first tried below 90 as a marker but found that was too late for best result with the faster moving Delta disease progression) He made extensive use of lung scans early on. Carefully managed blood sugar levels of diabetic patients. I expect he used crp and d-dimer initially also and with much clinical experience less testing. His post and long covid protocols addressed clearing and healing the lungs using colchicine and dexamethasone . He also has addressed lots of minor and important treatment variables over numbers of videos - diet, breathing positions and activity during clotting . One such is “Webinar Dr Darrell DeMello about Early Treatment” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v6ALM22qOs one of a number of videos needed to be watched to understand his whole protocol. note Ivermectin is dosed at higher levels and for longer duration now by many clinicians perhaps? by Dr DeMello also?

He established a telemedicine clinic treating 10’s of thousands of People.

He used some HCQ? prophylaxis when highly exposed or when he thought he might have slipped up and maintained a near 90 ng/mL vitamin D level and personally saw covid sick patients wearing the basic Real Prevention such as N95 type masks and his eyeglasses - no moon suit get up needed. He “titrated” his step by step rise to high levels of sars-cov2 antibodies without contracting symptomatic covid. Basic Prevention + some prophylaxis + high vitamin D levels.

Without a medical background, I have listened to many Real Doctors and Others with medical backgrounds presenting all things covid. Only a few have referenced the complement system and importance of dealing with the “all things covid” activation of the complement system. Two that did are Dr. Darrell DeMello who included colchicine in his covid treatment protocols and his covid vaccine harm reduction protocol - and Aaron J. Courtney who detailed his real world covid treatment account including a detailed explanation of the role of colchicine. His account is titled “Early Treatment With Colchicine, Not Ivermectin, Saved My Life From Severe COVID” and can be read here Early Treatment With Colchicine, Not Ivermectin, Saved My Life From Severe COVID “using … colchicine after deteriorating into complement cascade hyperactivation.”

*i.e. in India a strip of 10 colchicine pills, over the counter, for 60 cents US - .5mg each is the pill size in India. Colchicine, once over the counter in the US, was “converted” to a prescription only drug in the US as a consequence of the fda 2006 Unapproved Drugs Initiative “with a price increase of 2000 percent” (per wickedpedia) An example of fda capture for the excess profit of big pharma.
