A big shout out to the amazing research of #teamclots and survey results of @organichemusic. Thanks to their work I feel like I am able to live again after 10 months of battling #LongCovid 🙏🏻❤️

Here a 🧵with some info I found on #microclots and #nattokinase and #serrapeptase.

1/ A group of scientists is convinced that tiny and persistent blood clots, called microclots, are one of the key pieces to understanding Long Covid.

1a/ These microclots can block blood vessels, preventing oxygen from getting to different organs and tissues around the body. nature.com/articles/d4158…

2/ Microclots can be detected under a fluorescence microscope. Regular blood tests cannot pick them up.

3/ Nattokinase (NK) and Serrapeptase (SP) are over-the-counter enzyme supplements with clot-busting properties.

3a/ NK is made from a bacterial fermentation of soybeans. It can break down fibrin (which is present in blood clots) and the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.

3b/ SP is made from bacteria in silkworm gut. It can improve microcirculation and break down biofilm virus reservoirs. It also has anti-inflammatory effects.

4/ The results of @organichemusic self-reported survey show that 66% of the people with Long Covid benefited from NK. The effects of SP are less clear.

5/ It could be a coincidence, but I believe that taking NK and SK is one of the few things that relieved my Long Covid symptoms. Within 1-2 weeks, I noticed that I had much more energy (fatigue), no crashes after physical exercise (PEM), and could think much clearer (brain fog).

6/ I based my protocol for taking the enzymes on the information here.

Important note: this is no medical advice, there is currently no clinical evidence for this recommendation.

7/ @gezmedinger and @doctorasadkhan have made an interesting series of films about microclots. In the final episode they pay particular attention to NK and SP.

8/ Great to hear that @resiapretorius has announced NK and SP lab research for Long Covid in the beginning of 2023.
