Yemeni girl leaves doctors speechless by crying STONES instead of tears

Saadiya Saleh, who lives in a village in Yemen, produces the small, hard stones beneath her eyelids.

They are then naturally pushed to the front of her eyes, before falling down her cheeks.

Medics said they could not give an explanation for the condition - with Saadiya not suffering from any known disease

Yemeni girl leaves doctors speechless by crying STONES instead of tears

Didn't know where to post this so if this needs to be relocated, please do so.

OMG!!! This is just....amazing and disturbing at the same time. I cannot load pictures of videos from this PC so if someone wants a go at it, it would be great. If not I will post them tonight.

I am no doctor nor specialist, but how in hell is this possible, I have heard of kidney stones but this?!?

Any thought guys and gals?

Well, they have tried with such a story before, but instead of stones it was crystals, it turned out to be fake as the crystals were put there and under a camera the girl could push them out.

So i wouldn't trust it to much.

Sadly, or quite conveniently depending on your point of view, the girl stopped producing the crystals a few months after she began, thus ruling out further study. It seems very likely and logical that the young girl's production of the crystals was simply a prank perpetrated for reasons known only to those involved. But since girl crystal production has long since ceased and, 12 years on, shows no sign of recommencing, the chances of conclusively proving or disproving the alleged events - and ending speculation once and for all - seem quite remote.

That's really bizarre. Poor thing!

I want them to test the stones!!!!

My first thought is chemtrail poison or GMO poison. Wonder if Monsanto planted some special crops for them.

Great post, can't wait to see the replies!

They're called dacryoliths or ophthalmoliths. Just a concretion of minerals. Not that uncommon really.

This.

I knew a guy who would salivate stones, too. Just mineral accretions in the glandular openings.

Thanks for the contributions bigfatfurrytexan and Urantia1111, now we have a name for these(dacryoliths or ophthalmoliths), and a real case of "salivating" stones. Did this hurt your friend or did it go by "smoothly"?

dac·ry·o·lith (dăk′rē-ə-lĭth′)
n.
A concretion in a lacrimal sac or duct. Also called ophthalmolith, tear stone.

Kinda unsettling we have members identifying the cause right away

but….

Medics said they could not give an explanation for the condition

Doctors are yet to come up with an explanation for the unusual condition

I actually could see the altered chemistry of a tear causing small crystals to be made in the tearduct some how. I get something almost grainy in the corners of my eye near the tearduct sometimes. Chemicals can form crystals. I actually don't think this is rare, it may just be the first time someone actually noticed it was happening. Good tears contain chemicals that can speed up healing. These super hormones can be utilized. Medicine investigates these things and makes expensive drugs out of them.

This is a really typical Story for "the Daily Mail",
more than Yellow and far away from Reality!

The Daily Mail is not a source for accurate Information,
in fact it is a Media full of Hoaxes, Lies and Disinformation!

To be fair that could be said about most media..

but I see your point

I'm more worried about the archaic backward villagers reaction, to her. Wild mumblings about witchcraft etc. I can never get my head around being in the 21st C, and there are large pockets of ignorance around in the world.

He described it like a swollen taste bud. But he felt a knot under the skin. About 3 days later while we were driving along, it came out.

I have seen similar with blackheads.

Thanks for the reply. That would have freaked me out a little, spitting out a stone, or crying one out! But better out than in I say...lol

The glass tears seem so huge showing in this video. They are also very sharp that they can scratch the outside of a book. I can't imagine how it must feel to cry such sharp objects from your eyes.

It must really hurt as you said...

I came here to say this. I recognized a Daily Mail headline by the capitalized word in the title. They're among the worst of the current "news" media.

Agreed. This is a very old fakir magic trick. Doctors can be hornswaggled just like anybody else. Sometimes easier.
