I had thought for some time they were flukes too. It was quite a shock when I made the connection that what the ND was finding with the muscle testing/biomeridian computer testing (Borrelia) was what I was seeing. The "jointed" brown string looking things were the convincer. I've seen most of them through liver flushes. The last, largest bunch I got, was in a Liver Flush after I had started on a homeopathic for "livestock pathogens" which included Borrelia, plus doing the Beck blood purifying, plus upping the salt/vitamin C.
