Amyloid Testing
How amyloid tests work, from fibrin amyloid microclot microscopy and Thioflavin T fibril staining to D-dimer and Alzheimer's blood tests.

Amyloid Fibrin Test: How Fibrin Amyloid Microclots Are Detected
What an amyloid fibrin test is, how Thioflavin T microscopy spots fibrin amyloid microclots, how it differs from D-dimer, and what it can't tell you.
Amyloid Fibril Test: Methods Used to Detect Amyloid Fibrils
How an amyloid fibril test works: Thioflavin T, Congo red, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and seeding assays compared, with which are clinical.
Types of Amyloid Tests: Blood Tests, PET, CSF, Biopsy and Microclots
Compare the types of amyloid tests: Alzheimer's blood tests, amyloid PET, spinal fluid, amyloidosis biopsy and fibrin amyloid microclot microscopy.

How to Test for Microclots: Methods, Options and What Results Mean
How to test for microclots: the methods researchers use, why D-dimer can't detect them, where to get a microclot test and how to read the result.
Neutrophil Elastase and Spike Protein: How Amyloid Forms
Neutrophil elastase cuts SARS-CoV-2 spike into amyloid-forming fragments. A plain-English walkthrough of the 2022 JACS study and what it does not show.
Spike Protein Antibody vs Antigen Testing: What Each One Measures
Spike antibody tests measure immune memory, not spike protein. What antigen testing adds, why detox protocols stall, and what a serious panel includes.
D-Dimer vs Microclot Test: Why a Normal D-Dimer Can Miss Microclots
D-dimer vs microclot test compared: what each measures, why D-dimer can read normal in Long COVID, and how Thioflavin T microscopy finds fibrin amyloid.
