As if I wasn't having a hard enough time sorting out the myriad things going on with me!  In this morning's BM, I passed a rather large litter of worms.  But amongst them were 3 or 4 with liver stones imbedded in their casing.  At first I thought that these were just some stones from the flush 2 nights ago that got tangled up in some worms that died yesterday and came out together.  But as I probed them, I found they had more than just a random bond.  I removed them, laid them out, and photographed them.  I'm not sure how many of you realize how utterly disgusting this task really is.  I have been picking through my bowel movements since last November, and I've been over it since last November.  It's not only revolting and foul-smelling, it's tedious.  You have to be careful when trying to separate a deteriorating worm from your stool, lest you damage the specimen.  The process of transporting them, laying them out, taking off gloves, putting on gloves, photographing, etc.  And then there's the clean-up.  Still, there are these strange findings that occur that are unlike anything I find reported online.  They must be documented, and yet I grow weary of the task.  

Back to the worms.  If you search out worms and liver stones, the only mention is that of Ascaris inhabiting the liver and their carcasses being the cause of intrahepatic stones. (and Liver Flukes, of course)  That's about it.  Here's my problem.  These are not Ascaris worms.  They're not roundworms.  They are of a variety in which there is an enlarged body at one end.  Look at the pictures below and at the others in my prior posts.

I studied these for a while, turning them over on the paper.  I tried to see if the stones could have just been tangled up, but it really seemed like they were encased in the dead worm's body.  Now it's reported that dead worms rot and are the start of stones.  Yet, these worms were rather fresh.  They hadn't been dead long.  Recently living worms with stones inside them!!! The stones themselves showed signs of deterioration.  The pigmentation was lost on the outer layer.  Inside they were still dark green.  But, how did they get inside the worm's body?  The worms don't have mouths like snakes, at least not to my knowledge.  Did the stones then form inside the worm's body?  Or did the worms die, their casings split open in a few small places, and the stones then imbedded themselves in?  I could see that happening with one, but 3 or 4?  Regarding the faded pigmentation, it's possible these stones were dark green while the worms were alive, but when they died and their casings split, it exposed some of the stone, whilst both (worms and stones) remained in my small intestine for two days, dissolving some of the stones.  Another question arises.  If the stones are formed inside the worms, what size worm could account for the giant stones I am also flushing?  It's hard to make heads or tails of this.  I really tried to find evidence that these stones just happened upon entrance into the casings, but it really seemed the contrary.  This leaves many questions unanswered and provides new evidence about parasites, livers, liver stone formation, and the like.  More important to me: what the hell am I actually dealing with?  

I know:

- I have parasites.  

- I have liver stones. 

- I have liver damage/trouble.

- I have bodily havoc wrought by fluoroquinolones.

And that's really all I know.  

Other things.  I've been extremely hungry since this last liver flush.  Juice is no longer satiating.  When I say hunger, I mean that gnawing feeling in your stomach, that ravenous rumble, like a line of timpanis played by hungry lions.  

Again, last night, my calves cramped.  They've been sore for a few days as well.  It's clear that I have some sort of mineral imbalance.  And maybe last night's episode was triggered by the epsom salts, but even so, it's just triggering an already present problem.  And besides, ES may not be the best thing, but I'm not passing little pebbles.  These stones have been big enough to fill half a ping pong ball.  Not to mention that thick ridged worm that came out during the last flush.   

Geez, do I even have a liver anymore, or is it just a conglomeration of worm carcasses and bile stones?  

The muscle twitching is becoming more prevalent again.  It may be attributable to liver stress from all the crazy die-off this week, but either way, my liver is stressed.  Again, I find it appearing and/or increasing with the coffee enemas.  

That's the skinny on this flush's aftermath.  See the nice scratch and sniff photos below, with descriptions beneath each.
