“This can’t be hidden for too much longer.”
Dr. John Campbell, “White clot science” (February 21, 2026).
It has been some time since the last report, in these pages, about the appearance of long, white, rubbery, fibrous clots in the veins of the recently dead . . . as found by morticians around the world. Now, finally, studies have been done, and published — if not in major journals.
In “Press Release: Breaking Research Decodes the Mystery of “The Rubbery White Clots,” we learn that new studies have “for the first time comprehensively characterised the anomalous intravascular casts (AICs) commonly reported by embalmers worldwide as strange, rubbery white clots.
The research, significantly funded by New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS) and conducted by New Zealand-based researchers Drs Bruce Rapley and Matt Shelton, provides definitive analysis that these structures are a previously unrecognised and abnormal form of intravascular clotting.
Since 2021, global reports from embalmers and some clinicians have described the retrieval of long, elastic, white fibrous structures from blood vessels, distinct from ordinary post-mortem clots.
“NZDSOS has been at the forefront of raising concerns about these anomalous findings. This new three-part study using international labs on three continents describes their structure, elemental composition and protein makeup, concluding they represent a novel and persistent pathological entity”, said Dr Shelton.
The three papers tackle distinct issues with the tissues:
Obviously well worth further study, as the press release goes on to say.
But remember: this clot situation is not anodyne: “This is not just a big blood clot,” insists Senior Researcher Dr Bruce Rapley. “This is a fundamentally different architecture. The profound deficiency in plasminogen is like building a structure impervious to future demolition — it’s designed to persist. The elemental data confirms it’s not just protein; it’s a hybrid material our bodies are forced to make but not equipped to clear.”
Of course, the heroic Dr. John Campbell explains it well:
