That "specimen" sounds exactly like what I saw in the bowl after my first day on the Old Amish De-Wormer. I picked it up, also, and it seemed like intestine-shaped feces strung together on something, but after a little poking, I thought I was going to barf and ended up flushing without knowing for sure. I had a smaller version of that a few hours later, and explored that one a litte closer - it was about the size and shape of a large rubber band, but like a flattened hollow tube. Very rubbery. I don't know if those were large dead worms or mucoid plaque that the herbal parasite cleanse somehow loosened from the bowel. Very interseting that it sounds a lot like your experience, though. uggh...
