These photos show the varied appearances of mucus strands - commonly seen in patients with underlying GI disorders (e.g., constipation, malabsorption, etc.). To answer your questions, yes, a microscopic exam was performed on each of the specimens, and proved them to be just mucus and intermixed inflammatory cells. <br />I hope this helps.<br />BobbiParasiteGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093150363550239544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-23646598876045978922021-10-17T07:36:27.753-05:002021-10-17T07:36:27.753-05:00For several years now I have noticed (on and off) ...For several years now I have noticed (on and off) rope like structures present in my poo / stool exactly like photo 1 !!

The worm issue is aggravated by the self medication, and taking supplements and odd remedies without knowledge of the AI or excipients, usually in excessive amounts.<br /><br />Hence the patient could be taking carboxymethyl cellulose, binders, emulsifying agents, alginates, cellulose, wax, corn starch, stearates, silicones, color/dye, et al. I'll let you do the due diligence.<br /><br />Hypochondriacs will not tell/divulge their 'sideline' intake, as they feel the supplement is natural, and not medicinal.

The flukes I've been expelling have been compacted up together, inside wads of greenish yellow tangled fibrous, plant-like in appearance material. At first I thought this was perhaps some kind of mucoid plaque material or structures secreted by the flukes as part of their defenses, since it's all in irregular shapes, diameters, lengths. Well one piece separated out and I washed it clean in denatured alcohol and examined it with a bright flashlight and a big magnifying glass. To my horror I saw that it's half of a schistosome. half of a mated pair, the anterior half... the tail end half of the pair has been broken off. The suckers on both the male and female heads are clearly visible with a magnifying glass and bright light. I cannot determine the exact species though. It's clearly a schistosome though, but doesn't exactly match the example pics of any of the common human-infecting schistosomes found on the web. I must have expelled several hundreds of those two. I'm genuinely frightened now. I'm not even sure the flukes I have are F.Buski anymore. They don't look exactly like the example pics either, and they appear to be in some kind of relationship with the schistosomes, since I've found small schistosomes inside the rotting carcasss of dead flukes in my stool, and it appears that the schistosomes might be coming out of the "tailpipe" many of the dead flukes have in my stool, which is also greenish-yellow, fibrous, and easiky broken off the body of the fluke. I hope to god that I don't have some wierd new undocumented hybrid mutant worms that the schistosome is able to utilize a fascioloid trematode and vice versa in lieu of a snail as an intermediate host, and thus able to reproduce completely inside a single victim.... or something like that Miss Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873213786172067697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-84397387321545386842019-07-19T19:45:00.730-05:002019-07-19T19:45:00.730-05:00Well Miss Ruby, that all sounds absolutely terribl...Well Miss Ruby, that all sounds absolutely terrible and I have no reason to doubt you’re suffering from the helminth infestation you claim. It doesn’t seem at all unreasonable to assume that geography isn’t the hindrance it once was to pathogens of all sorts.<br /><br />My comments aren’t necessarily an endorsement or condemnation of “western medicine”, although they appear to have been triggering to some other commenters. If anything I would defend the scientific method itself, it’s the best thing we have to rely on to explain the world around us. The original post features images of mucous casts which some identify as a mysterious “rope worm” and so far, there hasn’t been any credible evidence to support this.

It boggles my mind, no, actually it ...<br />(part 3 of 3)<br />It boggles my mind, no, actually it doesn't anymore, is that this is the 21st century with the greatest informational and educational resources in all human history, available at our fingertips, that the medications and dosing information are so behind the times and insufficient for effectively treating these things. The rest of the world has already figured out how to deal with them much more effectively and their accumulated knowledge is freely available. The FDA just finally got around to approving triclabendazole in February of 2019. The rest of the world has been using it for decades, safely and effectively, in fact so much that resistance to the drug is already becoming an issue, and we're finally just beginning to getting around to include it in our pharmacopeia of officially permitted medications. The Chinese (of course have big time helminth parasite problems right in their front yard) developed tribendimidine and approved it for human medical treatment more than a decade ago, and it's proven to be quite safe and incredibly effective on many different types of helminth infestations that the best drugs that were around before, had only limited effectiveness. The rest of the world jumped onto this discovery and have included it in their anti-helminth arsenal too, but our medical establishment, which in regards to these kinds of parasites, is horribly broken and needs fixed asap, because these "neglected tropical parasite diseases" are no longer rare, and they're not just restricted to happening only in other parts of the world either. They're not rare, they're widespread, and they're not just elsewhere and only in tropical environments. They're here. Right Now. And they're a problem that cannot be ignored and neglected anymore. I am living (still.... thankfully) proof of that. Anybody want a jar full of shitwater alcohol and dead intestinal flukes as proof? I've got several. Maybe I should to sell them (that's a joke really) since Praziquantel costs $150 for just six pills, which is insanely and stupidly ridiculously overpriced since I could buy 100 grams of pure praziquantel powder for $60 off the internet.<br />I'll get off my soapbox now since I have to go and pick up my overpriced meds at the pharmacy, which had to be special ordered btw, can you believe even the largest pharmacies in this city don't even keep praziquantel as a stocked medication? Gonna start round #2 and doc wants me to take 40mg/kg per day and 4 days duration this time. I wanted 75mg/kg per day and run that for 14 days. I think that repeated subcurative doses are a very bad idea.

Western medicine is w...Back to my original gripe... Western medicine is woefully undereducated,undertrained, under-experienced, and under-equipped to effectively diagnose and treat parasitic infestations of helminths. There's been such a culture of "this exotic stuff _never_ happens here because we're the United States, the most advanced 1st world nation on the planet, and we're too good for nasty 3rd world parasites" ingrained into the mindset of the medical establishment. It doesn't help that legacy blood, urine and stool sample lab tests seem to notoriously come back giving false negatives, so the doctor answers the patient with hubris instead of help. "It's all in your head", "Nothing's wrong with you, you're imagining this", etc, seems to be way too common of an experience for patients across the nation. Yes , there are likely a lot of "imagined parasite" cases, but it is a real problem when that becomes the standard default treatment received by patients who really are infested with scary little monsters. Let me tell you, it really wakes up a doctor and gets his full undivided attention when you set a jar full of denaiured alcohol shitwater and several dozen dead intestinal flukes on his desktop after doing one of those herbal dewormer treatments. "Fasciolopsis Buski (or I sure hope that's what it is, not something worse) doesn't occur in the US, it's an Asian problem" is the stock answer. I've never been outside of the US in my life, I rarely leave Texas for travel to any other state except Oklahoma, 14 miles from my home (casinos are just across the Red River bridge for popular weekend entertainment and foolishly throwing money away). The FDA approved medications and doses/regimens published in all the official references and data sheets here are also woefully behind the times and inadequate here too. I'd expelled between 500-800 dead flukes from herbal treatments alone. After my first round of two days of Praziquantel, I gave anal birth to a litter of about 1000-1200 more of these little bastards, thankfully all stillborn, lol! According to everything I've learned about these things over the past couple months, that constitutes a "heavy worm load infestation", perhaps even "astronomical worm load of epic Biblical proportions". I probably should've been hospitalized, but I don't want to die in our hospital, which has a bad reputation for botched treatments and patients leaving in large blue ziplock bags in the back end of a black Suburban with landau bars on the rear side windows. I was still functioning mostly OK, but with bad gastrointestinal distress symptoms. The standard treatment for F.buski is one single day's dosing with PZQ. Doctor gave me two days dosing, which made a serious dent in them, but didn't eliminate them all. The drugs themselves made me feel sick enough by themselves, but the nastiness released from such a large worm die-off and my immune system reaction to that was "really special indeed". I'm swear I'm gonna have PTSD from this experience. I still cannot fathom how in the hell could that many, some shockingly large, flukes have been living inside my intestines without me feeling and functioning a million times worse than I did?
