The science on the anomalous white fibrous clots is now moving rapidly and we have been calling attention since 2022.
Three independent research streams have converged on a consistent picture. Each team has used different methods and different analytical frameworks.
Yet they have arrived at the same fundamental conclusion: these are new, very abnormal, and can only be dangerous.

Most people think of bones as inert scaffolding. Dead, hard, unchanging. They are anything but.
Your bones are living, dynamic tissue, constantly being broken down and rebuilt throughout your entire life. And here is the remarkable part: they respond directly to the physical stress you place on them.
Research on bone physiology shows that weight-bearing and resistance exercise stimulate specialized cells called osteoblasts to lay down new bone. When you load your bones, through walking, jumping, lifting, or resistance training, they receive a signal to strengthen. When you stop, they begin to lose density.
This is why astronauts in zero gravity lose bone mass rapidly, and why prolonged bed rest weakens the skeleton. Bones live by the principle of use it or lose it.
Even more fascinating, emerging research suggests that bones themselves act as an endocrine organ, releasing hormones that influence metabolism, memory, and muscle function.
As a physician, I want every person, especially women approaching and past menopause, to understand this. Osteoporosis is not an inevitable fate. Your skeleton is listening to how you move.
Give your bones a reason to stay strong. Load them. Challenge them. They will respond.
What is one weight-bearing activity you could add to your week to keep your bones strong?
