SPICULES: STANDARD HEMATOLOGY - fibrous (fibrinogen) needles in serum.
APPEARANCE: Straight, hair-like formations that look like pick-up sticks in the plasma fluid.
SUGGESTED CAUSE: Liver stress/toxicity/congestion and associated toxic bowel are suspected when spicules are present. (Spicules could also be a healing indicator if undergoing body cleansing, liver detoxing.) Toxins such as: antibiotics, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, meat. Plugged/dirty bowel, bowel pH off. Maldigestion and/or bacterial overgrowth can be suspected as cause of bowel toxicity along with old, decaying, impacted fecal matter.
POSSIBLE SIGNS: Constipation, indigestion, heartburn, bloating, gas, flatulence, fatigue, headaches, backaches. Autoimmune diseases: lupus, MS, MG, Lou Gehrig's.
ADD'L TESTS: Evaluate bowel function. Urinary indican test. When alcohol consumption, medication, and bowel toxicity have been ruled out and spicules show no response after nutritionals, liver profile to rule out liver or biliary tract complications.
