We order our microclotting study through Dr Jordan Vaughn In Birmingham, AL. If you have a willing provider, they can contact his office MedHelp Clinics, searchable online.

Thanks for reading Crabjo. My family is filled with long-lived Protestant and Catholic marriages. There is most certainly a humility, sense of service and common cause which permeates Catholicism. Kindness can flow from this. Peace. SM

Hi Teresa,

Please call me Scott as I’m an FNP-C, not a physician. Outside of a clinical relationship I can’t provide you individual advice. The data points to consider are that we have found microclotting in ALL people tested, regardless of vaccination status and then consider the case series I have presented which have raised my concern that collagen use is either preventing resolution of clotting or making it worse.

Peace,

Scott

Hi Scott, very timely article. I am dealing with rapid loss of gum tissue since I have had covid, and spikopathy from the vax, and am needing a gum graft urgently to save my lower teeth. Gums are 85% collagen. Thanks to you I am now taking flave, and have also learned from your colleague India to stop the collagen supplements I had taken to help with muscle loss. (fortunately I had only taken them regularly for a week!) Your nurse pointed me to your substack, THANKS AGAIN!!!

Well, I think it’s safe to say you’ve taken the road less traveled through life and you’re all the more interesting for it. Good for you and for me since I get to read about it. You win the award so far for the most unusual compilations within your articles. I never know what to expect but that’s ok. I appreciate your description of your grandparents as “good to the bone.” It immediately brought a feeling of warmth remembering the people I’ve known through the years who fit that description. Many were from that generation, but not all, of course. Sometimes I’ve heard people like that referred to as being “a good egg.” A quirky description, but a worthy aspiration I’ve always thought. Having been raised and educated Catholic, I found your description of your wife’s Catholic kindness intriguing. All the more so since you’ve mentioned being a practicing Quaker. What interesting dinner table conversations you all must have. While I know we Catholics clearly haven’t cornered the market on kindness, it’s still nice to hear another make that connection. I’d be satisfied if “kind” was part of my epitaph. I appreciate your discussion of collagen supplementation as it seems to be everywhere all at once lately. I’ve been lying in the weeds trying to figure out what all the fuss was about. Congrats on your persistence getting to the root cause of your patients’ issues. I think it must be an uphill battle for the medical profession given that you don’t have cameras following your patients around all day. For example, a few years back I went to my PCP for a nerve firing off intermittently in my right hip/leg. She had me x-rayed but nothing helpful showed up. It went away on its own after I stopped watching TV sitting unconventionally sideways in an oversized lazyboy recliner. How on earth would she know that? When something new crops up, I now see if there is some substance or behavior I can try to eliminate before introducing anything new. I’m thinking this interrogation skill of yours must prove useful when trying to extract information out of your children! :). Best of luck with your upcoming presentation.

Dear Dr. Marsland, I have not had the vaccine nor has anyone who lives in my home. I have been taking collagen for about three months. Even if I have not had the vaccine, should I stop taking collagen supplements ? Thank you so much for your help

How do you determine the microclotting markers please? Labs? Is there a way for us to check ourselves? My son and I were severely impacted by shedding from my husband. My d-dimer and fibrinnogen are back to normal but should I recheck my son too? I really don't want to do unnecessary labs as you know how hard this are on kids...
