R.G., everyone, I am wondering...
Do the same parasites always leave in the same way, person to person?
I've seen pictures where Ascaris may been seen in the stool whole, or broken down by the digestive system. And mention that liver flukes are unaffected by bile, and pass whole; or may appear as 'tomato skins'...rolled up, I gather.
I've seen a few kind of 'peanuts' with a piece broken off one corner, and assumed these would be some kind of fluke, if they are parasites at all...and a few stray hard 'seeds' of different descriptions, oddly separate from stool.
With a large abdomen and a very solid large midriff, added to very definite gallstones I may be trying to pass, I suspect there are liver flukes and other critters to come.
I haven't done the enemas because I have unpleasant memories of the few I was given as a child. But I am doing the pineapple/papaya, and Bio-K that worked well after the first round of Humaworm, in easing constipation and passing two odd 'deposits'.
Tiny bits of Castor oil, sometimes, and one cup of herbal laxative tea have helped...but no sign of visible parasites. A 'good' salt footbath had a wonderful effect on my feelings and on edema on the tops of my feet.
Though BM's are now much easier, still, I am hoping for a major breakthrough on elimination.
A liver flush of one kind or another is in the near future. Stools are of a good color but I feel there has been a blockage of some kind at the end of the bile duct, which leads me to want the herbs to remain in my liver as long as possible before liver flushing.
I have had odd 'biting' in strange places that is now subsiding as I get further and further from the finish of my second round of Humaworm. The two places of occasional 'biting' that remain are at the sides of my waist.
I still get the 'prickle' and twinges at what must be the end of the bile duct, from time to time. I don't know whether or not one or two hard gallstones have passed this point, but feel they must have, since my liver and gallbladder feelings are now quite different.
I do not have any steady pains, which I feel is a good sign, nor have I had what others describe as a gallbladder 'attack'.
All my other symptoms have subsided, thank goodness, though I get that headachiness in one spot, say, every other day...but that could be from any of a number of causes.
In the best of all possible worlds, I would pass all kinds of wonderful things and lose this abdomen/midriff forever...and, dang it, I'll do the enemas, disgusting an idea though it may be, if I must.
Our plums are coming in, and if the birds leave some for us, we will dry some for prunes for the winter. So far, we've been stewing, and eating some out of hand. Today dh is stewing some with stevia.
I know how good they are for assisting the bowels, but I wonder if they are effective on the small intestine, where the seat of my problems seems to be...for many years.
Do you know of any other kind of 'dynamite' that works well on the small intestine?
Humacleanse? Hu-Mana-Tea?
Scrubbing floors on the hands and knees? Dancing naked down Main Street?
I'll do it...though they come and take me away.
(I'm not really as silly a person as I sound sometimes...just a seeker, looking for an elusive answer, or a dozen.)
Any hints, from anyone, would be most appreciated.
My very best to us all.
