i think it is our filter system. Our kidneys are not filtering out the impurities or can not filter out some unknown substance, probably from some of the ingredients laced in our foods from scientists working for food industry, trying to make our food safer and last longer, and this ingredient has backed up our filter system and therefor our bodies won't excrete through the urinary tract system, and it backs up into our bodies and clogs up our pores, the body overproduces to try to get rid of the stuff in the blocked pore, overproducing a get rid of that stuff fluid, which is overreacting, pushing the substance out of our bodies, heats up our system, and expels the black sooty like stuff, so much so that the bacteria from the air attacks our bodies and causes the feelings of crawlies.

The Human Excretory System | Back to Top The urinary system is made-up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The nephron, an evolutionary modification of the nephridium, is the kidney's functional unit. Waste is filtered from the blood and collected as urine in each kidney. Urine leaves the kidneys by ureters, and collects in the bladder. The bladder can distend to store urine that eventually leaves through the urethra.

The Nephron The nephron consists of a cup-shaped capsule containing capillaries and the glomerulus, and a long renal tube. Blood flows into the kidney through the renal artery, which branches into capillaries associated with the glomerulus. Arterial pressure causes water and solutes from the blood to filter into the capsule. Fluid flows through the proximal tubule, which include the loop of Henle, and then into the distal tubule. The distal tubule empties into a collecting duct. Fluids and solutes are returned to the capillaries that surround the nephron tubule.

The nephron has three functions:
Glomerular filtration of water and solutes from the blood. Tubular reabsorption of water and conserved molecules back into the blood. Tubular secretion of ions and other waste products from surrounding capillaries into the distal tubule. Nephrons filter 125 ml of body fluid per minute; filtering the entire body fluid component 16 times each day. In a 24 hour period nephrons produce 180 liters of filtrate, of which 178.5 liters are reabsorbed. The remaining 1.5 liters forms urine.
Urine Production Filtration in the glomerulus and nephron capsule. Reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Tubular secretion in the Loop of Henle. Components of The Nephron Glomerulus: mechanically filters blood Bowman's Capsule: mechanically filters blood Proximal Convoluted Tubule: Reabsorbs 75% of the water, salts, glucose, and amino acids Loop of Henle: Countercurrent exchange, which maintains the concentration gradient Distal Convoluted Tubule: Tubular secretion of H ions, potassium, and certain drugs. Kidney Stones In some cases, excess wastes crystallize as kidney stones. They grow and can become a painful irritant that may require surgery or ultrasound treatments. Some stones are small enough to be forced into the urethra, others are the size of huge, massive boulders (or so I am told).
Kidney Function | Back to Top Kidneys perform a number of homeostatic functions:
Maintain volume of extracellular fluid Maintain ionic balance in extracellular fluid Maintain pH and osmotic concentration of the extracellular fluid. Excrete toxic metabolic by-products such as urea, ammonia, and uric acid. Hormone Control of Water and Salt | Back to Top Water reabsorption is controlled by the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in negative feedback. ADH is released from the pituitary gland in the brain. Dropping levels of fluid in the blood signal the hypothalamus to cause the pituitary to release ADH into the blood. ADH acts to increase water absorption in the kidneys. This puts more water back in the blood, increasing the concentration of the urine. When too much fluid is present in the blood, sensors in the heart signal the hypothalamus to cause a reduction of the amounts of ADH in the blood. This increases the amount of water absorbed by the kidneys, producing large quantities of a more dilute urine.
Aldosterone, a hormone secreted by the kidneys, regulates the transfer of sodium from the nephron to the blood. When sodium levels in the blood fall, aldosterone is released into the blood, causing more sodium to pass from the nephron to the blood. This causes water to flow into the blood by osmosis. Renin is released into the blood to control aldosterone.
Disruption of Kidney Function | Back to Top Infection, environmental toxins such as mercury, and genetic disease can have devastating results by causing disruption of kidney function. Many kidney problems can be treated by dialysis, where a machine acts as a kidney. Kidney transplants are an alternative to dialysis.

analyzed using a standardized two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method WHY CAN'T WE USE THIS TO DETERMINE IF WE ARE FILTERING CORRECTLY?

Bile acid sequestrants are primarily used to treat hypercholesterolemia, but can also be used to treat the pruritus, or itching, that often occurs during liver failure due to the liver's inability to eliminate bile.

Yes, very excellent observation ChiTownBonnie, I do think the fibers are laid down via a chemical process and are not parasite related at all. I'm doing total cleansing / detox with anti-fungals, all natural stuff and am near cured. I do believe what you have stated is very close to the truth indeed.

Yes Lurker, i think so too. The million dollar question is? What detox are you using to cure yourself. I know that I am way down on my antibiotics and very little difference from my large quanity of antibiotics. I think something is healing. I go to a new doctor on Tuesday in Gaithersburg. I am excited and scared and hopeful. I think we will see the answer to t his disease this year. Bonnie
