A question about vaccine-induced myocarditis came through via my contact page. But the questioner’s email address was incorrect. So when I tried to respond, my message bounced.
Here’s her question: “If someone has received the vaccine because it was mandated by the school—has shown no symptoms related to myocarditis—is there a way for that person to check that they are one of the ‘lucky ones’? And if there is myocarditis, is there any way to reverse that at all?”
Since my answer about vaccine-induced myocarditis didn’t go through, I am posting it here.
First a caveat: I’m not a medical doctor. I am a science writer, health journalist, and researcher. So, I can’t give medical advice via the internet and nothing on this website should be construed as such.
How Do You Test For Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis?
However, I interviewed Dr. Angelina Farella, M.D., who was speaking at the same conference I was in Sedona, Arizona, a few weeks ago. As I explained in this article for The Epoch Times, Farella told me that she will no longer sign sports clearance forms for her pediatric patients without families doing bloodwork to look for heart abnormalities.
Farella recommends two blood tests to get a baseline about heart health and physical fitness. These tests may also reveal asymptomatic vaccine injury and vaccine-induced myocarditis.
1. D-Dimer
2. Troponin
What is d-dimer?
As the Cleveland Clinic explains, “A D-dimer test is a simple blood test that can help your healthcare provider determine if you may have a blood clotting condition. If you have a high level of D-dimer in your blood, your provider may have you undergo further blood tests and/or imaging procedures to determine a diagnosis.”
What is troponin?
Troponins are a type of proteins found in heart muscle. When they’re present in the bloodstream, it can be a marker of heart failure. High troponins are also an indication of myocarditis.
Vaccine-induced myocarditis may not become apparent for weeks or even months after the injections.
Consider the research done by scientists in the Department of Pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Published in November 2021 in the journal Pediatrics, this research found a link between mRNA vaccines and heart problems in teenagers.
(That COVID-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis has been confirmed by over half a dozen other studies and case reports, including this one, this one, this one, and this one.)
In the Washington study, young people aged 12 to 17 years old who presented with chest pain within one week after the second dose of the mRNA vaccines had higher than normal levels of troponin in their blood.
In March 2022, the same team published a follow-up study. This follow-up looked at a young patients diagnosed with vaccine-induced myocarditis after the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccines. Unfortunately, almost 69 percent still had abnormal heart findings on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The abnormalities were present up to eight months following vaccination, and without having other clinical symptoms.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
The other way to check for myocarditis is more elaborate and involves 3 days of a restricted diet and the use of radioactive dye (gadolinium contrast medium). Magnetic resonance imaging is a medical technique that uses radio waves.
However, while an MRI may be the most accurate, it’s also the most invasive. So, a doctor will likely not order an MRI unless a vaccine-injured patient is showing clinical symptoms of myocarditis.
What do I do if I have vaccine-induced myocarditis?
The second part of my reader’s question was what to do if a test comes back positive.
First of all, myocarditis is horrible. A loved one suffers from this condition, as I mentioned in this article on patient advocacy. In addition, it can be very acute and difficult to resolve.
That said, several forward-thinking holistic-minded doctors have pioneered protocols to help their COVID-19 vaccine-injured patients heal.
In particular, eating a plant-forward pesticide and herbicide-free diet, inducing autophagocytosis by doing 3-day water-only fasts (unless counter-indicated), and supplementing with the right nutraceuticals may help jumpstart the body’s natural ability to heal.
Using autophagocytosis to repair the body at the cellular level was the subject of Dr. Henry Ealy’s outstanding presentation in Sedona, which you can access for free on Rumble.

I am curious about this information. In what way is an MRI is invasive? Do you mean the IV for contrast is invasive? Also, I have never heard of fasting for an MRI. My husband has been in the medical field for over 20 years, specifically working with MR, CT, and other imaging machines and he has never heard of this. Could you share where you got this information, as you did with the info about D-dimer test from Cleveland Clinic.
Thanks for all the information you share. I do enjoy reading your findings, as sad as they my be, in the world today:(
My source is my personal experience on this one, Ashley. You have to starve your cells of sugar and carbohydrates and eat only certain foods (basically lean protein and some vegetables) in order to get accurate results. Maybe “fasting” is the wrong word. It’s more accurately a “restricted diet.” I will change that in the post. It’s also a time-consuming test, which usually lasts about an hour but can last longer depending on the technician and the patient being imaged. I have been a patient advocate for a loved one who has had several and it feels “invasive” to me — but this is my bias showing. In addition patients have suffered bad outcomes as a result of the gadolinium contrast media they use, including but not limited to allergic reactions and brain fog…
There’s actually quite a bit of disagreement among cardiologists about the accuracy of the imaging as well. One person can read it and say, “no inflammation,” and another doctor can read it and say, “there’s quite a bit.” So Dr. Leslie Cooper, M.D., one of the world’s experts on giant cell myocarditis, told me an NT-proBNP test is a BETTER way to check for inflammation. This, however, is not standard of care in most places and it is very difficult to get a cardiologist who is not used to ordering it to order this test; also difficult to find labs that can perform it.
Thank you x
I went into heart failure after the vaccine, my Troponin HS was 277 pg/mL and was said to have nstemi, dilated cardiomyopathy, heart Cath was negative for any blockages. It’s hard to get medical help when the doctors will not admit that this is a vaccine injury. I’ve had one retired pulmonologist admit it but he has limited his practice to sleep lab. My ejection fraction went from 65 to 30, they said it would return but 15min this later I’m only at 50. I work in the medical field and had this forced on me! If there’s any help you can offer, I’d be grateful!
I’m so sorry this happened to you Shelly. Dr. Henry Ealy, who has been successfully helping people heal from both injury and long COVID, is holding these classes. Perhaps this could help you? I don’t know if there is still space…

Would Serrapeptase help remove the proteins?
Dr. Ealy spoke about using serrapeptase as part of his protocol. But his talk did not mention specifics and I don’t have any information beyond that. Let us know what you think about this or what you find out, Anne.
