Heart palpitation

[williamthegreat]

Bubba and Bev, I have a medical question? If bitten by a tick who's saliva had a bacterial toxin in it. Would this toxin that was deposited into the bloodstream, be taken by the Heart and pumped directly to the intestines for removal. If so what is this process called ? I read at the Library ( tick bites) that the bacteria would cause a strong toxic odor (passing wind)( as in Carla's post). Also when this occurs does Heart Palpitation take place? ...WTG

I think that you may be confusing different ideas that you're reading. Bubba's right--only negligible amounts might get into the intestinal tract, and therefore the gut bacteria, would have no ability to react to this toxin. There are a very few specific types of compounds that are recognized and detoxified by the liver, by being complexed with specific bile salts and then excreted into the intestinal tract with the bile acids, however these are usually very particular forms of fats, alcohols, esters, or known drug compounds designed to be metabolized this way. Most un-identified toxins, or foreign proteins, or agents just go through the kidneys and don't get re-absorbed BACK into circulation.

The heart palpitations are usually related to cardiac muscle inflammation and infection with these illnesses, and NOT from blood passage of bacterial toxins, from the literature that I have read.

One thing that I have experienced is that the fecal route is the HEALTHY, immune-competent body's method of excreting Morgellons parasites--instead of transcutaneously. If the parasites are completely decomposed and 'vaporized', then one only has a small bit of gas to pass. If the body is violently throwing out a hostile parasite colony when a more favorable parasite takes over this "host," one often has a massive fecal purging. I don't believe that THIS effect has been named yet. How about we call it "William's Sign"? We can ask what degree of William's sign are they having, or is all just through the skin for them? No, honest, I am just joking, I despise any medical term that is given a person's name instead of descriptive term--my memory isn't good enough to remember any more names for names sake!!

So, I haven't a clue what you were really asking--e-mail me, if you have any really gory details that you want more info about
