I am not an MD, and this article is not intended as medical advice. Please discuss with your MD the information found in this article and the supportive clinical studies that I have cited..
With the return of HRT, as well as the complications experienced by many with the COVID-19 spike Protein, I was moved to share this article. Don't worry, it isn't doom and gloom; just pointing you in the direction of supportive sidekicks.
Why I care more and stay very informed about this...
Between the years 1990 and 1992, I was on birth control pills (synthetic hormones) to deal with the agony of endometriosis that started when my period began. The pill was, seemingly, a relatively uneventful experience (except for the huge boobs thing) until, of course, I ended up with a severely swollen and painful right leg.
My MD at the time misdiagnosed it as an infection and put me on antibiotics. Over the next two days at home, my leg continued to swell, and the pain was excruciating. When I was referred to a "better hospital," I was found to have what is called a deep vein thrombosis, or what the hospital would say then was "the biggest blood clot we have ever seen in this hospital."
I was hospitalized and put on bed rest for two weeks, and told that the blood thinners (IV Heparin) would allow it to dissolve but would inevitably have pieces break off a little at a time, which would go through my heart and into my lungs. In my lungs, they would dissolve relatively safely since I was on hemophiliac levels of blood thinners. At admission, my calf was an inch larger than my abdomen. Once stable, I left the hospital using crutches for even short distances, which I used from March to August of 1992.
I went to Northeastern University in the Fall of 1992, as an 18-year-old, now walking three blocks made my leg ache and throb ("intermittent claudication") from the damage done to the valves in my leg veins. Before this event, I was set to swim in Division 1 and now can barely walk well. As you can imagine, I was devastated and angry.
I stayed on high-level blood thinners (Coumadin) for a year and had to be careful not to get any cuts. Eventually, I was released and advised to take aspirin daily for the rest of my life. I did this for a while, but then stopped thinking it was probably not good for my gut. I was stubborn, but I had wonderful, protective, and busy angels during that time.
Years after graduating from Northeastern Physical Therapy School, during my training as a Certified Nutritionist and Integrative Manual Therapist, I learned about the benefits of essential fatty acids. I began taking EPA/DHA fish oil and garlic regularly for their blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory effects. This was my new "aspirin a day."
Fast forward 10 more years, and thanks to the advice of my holistic practitioner and bodywork teacher, Sharon Weiselfisch Giamatteo, I started taking Natto enzymes, specifically Nattokinase and Natto Serrazimes, to further idealize my vascular Self-care. These were the same enzymes administered at hospitals during a stroke in real time. There is significant doubt among the medical community about whether oral administration of these enzymes reaches the bloodstream to clean up the vascular system, so the "regular establishment" didn't recommend them per se. (It "felt right," and motility testing my body was a yes.) So I took them anyway.
Fast forward another 10 years to COVID. It became evident while watching the treatment reactions from the vaccines that blood clotting was a side effect. Even when no overt blood clots were seen on ultrasound, blood draws from asymptomatic people revealed elevated D-dimer levels post-vaccine. Memes were circulating online, referring to it as "the clot shot." Some elevations of D-dimer levels also occurred for more than 3 months post-COVID-19 infection. (see study below) D-Dimers are a blood draw marker that shows that 1) there is an acute clot (elevated fibrinogen) or 2) breakdown of "old fibrinogen” during enzyme treatment.
Of course, I knew I needed to protect my system, given the amount of data I was seeing and the fact that I was approaching the Vaccine myself. Pre-COVID, I had already been doing research on bone density (due to nearing age 50) and had listened to a lecture on vitamin K2 and calcium disorders. In this lecture, the presenter from Metagenics gave a presentation on research where K2 helped with bone density and assisted the body in not depositing Calcium in the arteries. So, due to my history of vascular injury, my age, and my sex, I added D3 with K2 to my regular vascular regimen. This came in handy anyway, as low D is not beneficial for people with autoimmune epigenetics, and during COVID-19, Vitamin D was also shown to be a predictor of poor outcomes.
I have a daughter and a stepdaughter of reproductive age. Especially since COVID-19 and clotting issues were and are on the rise, I provided my protocol to both of them. One of them is also on Birth Control Pills, so with my history, she understands my protectiveness toward her.
Here are some articles I included for reference that both sexes (but especially women on birth control pills and males with cardiac family history) need to know about.
If it were me, at the very least I would take extra care, and consider talking to your MD about the supplements I include below (plus a good EPA/ DHA,) for 3 months after vax or infection. I take them about three times per week. Due to my vascular event, I have been contraindicated from taking any birth control and now HRT, so I have been doing natural methods on both ends for years. Discussing your risk factors with your doctor is essential. DO NOT take fish oil without help from your MD if you are already on blood thinners. This is not meant as medical advice. It is simply information you can feel your way through and discuss with your providers.
Take care!

Nattokinase and Natto Serrazime is something I have been taking for years. This study from Japan demonstrated the effectiveness of the treatment orally in humans. It has been used for years via injection when a stroke is suspected at the hospital, and I have wondered how oral treatment holds up. Here is an excellent study on that.
From the study below:
"This study provides the first evidence of NK’s ability to enhance fibrinolysis and antithrombosis contemporaneously after a single dose of oral NK administration in humans."
From the Vitamin K2 study below:
Regarding arterial plaque:
"especially in women having high arterial stiffness. Also, pulse-wave velocity showed a statistically significant decrease after 3 years for the Vitamin K2 (MK-7) group but not for the placebo group, demonstrating an increase in the elasticity and reduction in age-related arterial stiffening, again, especially in women having high arterial stiffening."
Regarding better calcification ending up in bones, a study showed "In this study of 244 healthy post-menopausal women, the MenaQ7® group took 180 mcg daily and showed significantly decreased circulating uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC). After three years, both bone mineral content and bone mineral density, as well as bone strength, were statistically significantly better for the MK-7 group compared to the placebo group.18"
Covid and elevated D dimers coagulation blood
From the study below:
"Besides, the acute lung injury, SARS CoV-2 infections are associated with an increased rate of thromboembolic events resulting from an imbalance between procoagulant factors and natural coagulation inhibitors, fibrinolysis shutdown, endothelial injury and inflammatory processes [6]. Pulmonary embolism can be revealed in 20–30% of the patients with acute COVID-19"
