...not squemish as I've seen enough blood, guts and bones in my line of medical work. I've fished around with bamboo skewers after a visit with the "porcelein goddess," but have not seen anything. I won't do the strainer thing as I may never want to eat spaghetti again...LOL (just kidding...don't eat it anymore as it's mostly a wheat product and I'm allergic). Anyhow, thanks for the input. I'll try the liver flush (Humaworm or not) when I get the products next week. I'll keep you posted...you've been a great help!
