Thank you.

The stuff about blood clots began coming out about the time I concluded I probably had it and had been mostly asymptomatic and about that same time I ran into a researcher on HN who said something about the blood that I didn't follow and I asked questions and that went weird places and then they said something else about zinc.

And that led to an epiphany for me and I turned to my son and kind or recounted the exchange with the researcher and then I said "We've been eating a lot of zinc-rich foods. I am going to go get a cheese pizza because cheese has zinc." So I got a pizza and then he felt vastly better.

So the whole blood angle is cemented in my mind like "Clearly, this is a hard fact and everyone knows it." But it's probably just me in my little bubble and that's it.

I'm still aghast. But what you say makes sense.
