When Your Plumbing Fails:

The Microclot Pathway from COVID to Chronic Illness

A Message from Dr. McMillan

Microclotting has emerged as one of the most unusual and concerning patterns seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. While traces of this phenomenon existed before, its sharp rise over the past five years signals a shift in blood clotting physiology.

Clotting is a delicate balancing act - too little, and we bleed; too much, and we damage our own tissues. That balance now appears disrupted.

Mounting evidence points toward the spike protein as a key player in this disturbance. Yet, acknowledging this connection opens uncomfortable questions about the wider pandemic response, particularly the interventions that replicated this protein.

Rather than confronting these scientific challenges, much of the discussion has been diverted or suppressed. But avoiding the science does not make the risk disappear - it only delays the opportunity to understand and mitigate it.

The science must be faced honestly, wherever it leads.

COVID-19

  • Chronic inflammation creates dense fibrinaloid microclots that resist natural breakdown, similar to mineral deposits clogging pipes.

  • Microclots block capillaries, dropping venous oxygen from normal 47-70% to 17-19% in long COVID patients, starving tissues.

  • New diagnostic tools like FibriScore® can now visualize and quantify microclots that standard blood tests completely miss.

  • Treatment requires three stages: apheresis removes deposits, inflammation control prevents recurrence, then targeted supplements become effective.

Why this is important: Millions suffering from long COVID and chronic illnesses have normal test results yet remain debilitated. This research may reveal why: microscopic blood clots invisible to standard diagnostics could be strangling circulation at the capillary level. New detection methods and targeted treatments can now address what medicine has been missing entirely.

The Fungi Living in the Body Play an Important Role in Health
Author: Rebecca A. Drummond, University of Birmingham

  • The mycobiome is the fungal component of our microbiome, dominated by Candida and Malassezia species.

  • Disruptions in mycobiome balance, especially Candida overgrowth, are linked to various diseases and infections.

  • Mycobiomes exist throughout the body: gut, skin, vagina, and possibly lungs, breastmilk, and brain.

  • Antibiotics, immune system changes, and diet can disrupt mycobiome balance and affect overall health.

Why this is important: Fungi living throughout your body, including in your gut, skin, lungs, and possibly brain, significantly impact your health when disrupted. These fungal communities, collectively called the mycobiome, are linked to infections, inflammatory diseases, and possibly neurological disorders. Understanding them could revolutionize how we treat these conditions.

MEDICAL NEWS IN BRIEF

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

🚥 Why You Can Salvage Moldy Cheese but Never Spoiled Meat: Understanding which spoiled foods pose serious health risks - from cancer-causing mycotoxins in moldy grains to heat-resistant bacterial toxins in meat - empowers better decisions about food safety. Since cooking can't eliminate all dangers and individual sensitivity varies, recognizing these invisible threats helps prevent consequences ranging from mild illness to life-threatening conditions.

🚥 One Long Walk a Day May Cut Risk of Death and Cardiovascular Disease Better Than Multiple Short Walks: Taking your daily steps in longer walks rather than brief spurts dramatically reduces death and heart disease risk, even if total steps remain unchanged. For inactive individuals especially, one sustained 15-minute walk proves far more protective than scattering steps throughout the day - a simple shift with profound health implications. [SOURCE]

🚥 Focused Sound Energy Holds Promise for Treating Cancer, Alzheimer’s and Other Diseases: Focused ultrasound technology opens new pathways for treating previously difficult conditions - enabling drugs to reach the brain by temporarily breaching its protective barrier, activating immune responses against resistant cancers, and offering hope for rare neurological diseases that lack safe surgical options.

🚥 Scientists on 'Urgent' Quest to Explain Consciousness as AI Gathers Pace: Rapidly advancing AI and neurotechnology could accidentally create conscious entities before we understand what consciousness is. Developing tests to detect awareness has urgent implications: improving care for unresponsive patients, reshaping animal welfare laws, advancing mental health treatments, challenging legal concepts of intent, and preventing existential risks from sentient machines. [SOURCE]

🚥 Women Folk Healers Were Branded as Witches, but Their Treatments May Have Been Medically Sound: Medieval women healers, demonized as witches and executed, possessed genuine medicinal expertise now validated by modern science. Their persecution erased centuries of botanical knowledge about psychoactive compounds and therapeutic plants. This research reclaims their legacy, revealing how institutional misogyny destroyed women's medical authority while their remedies remain scientifically sound.

🚥 The Thymus Hosts More 'Cellular Teachers' Than We Thought: Our immune cells must learn not to attack our own body. A failure causes autoimmune diseases like diabetes and multiple sclerosis. This research reveals the thymus uses a surprisingly complex network of cellular instructors for this training, potentially opening new paths for treating autoimmunity. [SOURCE]
