Phil
Meet Phil Amarcy, a 53 year old high school biology teacher. Phil is happily married with two kids in a beautiful suburban home. Phil played football in high school and developed a bad knee. He has taken a variety of medications over the years for his knee and also for other common illnesses. Phil’s body has been noticing an awful lot of substances entering the esophagus through the course of Phil’s life. The body doesn’t know what all of these foreign contaminates are doing or why he sees some more than others. The body has devised a plan to accumulate data and figure out why these capsules, liquids, and other substances come and go without leaving a trace.
