What is the mechanism behind the spike protein’s ability to cause blood clots
According to recent research, the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 can cause blood coagulation and inflammation[1]. The spike protein binds to heparan sulfate/heparin, which is a key factor in the coagulation process[1]. The spike protein can also bind to fibrinogen, which induces structurally abnormal blood clots with heightened proinflammatory activity[4]. The abnormal blood clots can lead to pulmonary embolism, stroke, and sudden death[4]. The spike protein can also initiate a cascade of events that triggers damage to distant organs in COVID-19 patients[5].Several studies have found that the spike protein alone has the capacity to cause widespread injury throughout the body, without any evidence of the virus[5].
The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer program our cells to manufacture the same coronavirus spike protein as a way to trigger our bodies to produce antibodies to the virus[5]. According to a letter to the FDA, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine contains 30 micrograms of the spike protein[5]. The spike protein is highly thrombogenic, directly activating the clotting cascade[2].
To prevent the formation of clots, it is recommended to move around as much as possible and stretch your legs to keep blood circulating[2]. Blood-thinning medications should not be taken without consulting a doctor first[2]. Natural ways to increase autophagy could be helpful to degrade spike proteins from the body[2]. Methods to boost autophagy include intermittent fasting, sunlight, quality and timely sleep, meditation, and walking, as well as naturally derived molecules[2].
