Those are creepy...

They are under a microscope, I can see the different spores in the background...the picture I posted are the size of a pencil eraser on top of a pencil or larger...The chains are oblong under closer magnification and sometimes have double chains.

I will try the lab you recommended...I did have one sent to a lab locally and the result came back as a "seed." Until I found this site I despaired of ever finding out what they were. Another forum said they were classic candida cotton balls with legs...Not sure, but I know they are what is making me so sick.

Back in 1998, I got pneumonia and was hospitalized for a week with IV antibiotics. Back then I didn't know about the devastation that antibiotics could do to your intestinal flora and never replaced it or tried to help that process until much later. Then a few years later we moved into my Grandmothers to take care of her. The house was a mess, we cleaned it up, but it was basically a bio hazard. Lord knows what I could picked up in that house, I have been sick ever since.

Thank you very much for your insights and I will check into that lab...the lady who I went to for colonics had them herself, she was also very sick at one time and told me she didn't know what they were either...there is a link to a website that shows them, they say they are a parasite:

I will let you know what I discover.

Thank you so much!
