The Arizona Republic has raised an interesting question. Is it possible to use tapeworms as a diet aid? Won't the tape worm just sit in your stomach and consume all the extra food you eat, and after a while you can pull out the thing? The basic answer is no. This would not be a good idea. They go into some more details:
While a tapeworm might take in some of the food you do, it would at the same time be taking in a lot of vitamins and other nutrients you need to stay healthy. Do you know what ascites are? A big pool of fluid in your tummy caused by an immune response to something in your guts. Something like a tapeworm. It gives you a big potbelly, which runs kind of counter to the look you might be wishing for. And a tapeworm might not necessarily just set up camp in your innards. It can also cause cysts in your muscles, liver and eyes. Your eyes! So don't you think it might be easier instead to just eat a bit less and exercise a bit more?

I have read about 4 to 5 pages on this site...about the tape warm that helps you loose weight and everything els that comes with it positive and negative.
I also want too loose weight! I am so pissed of and disappointed at my self , only because i am not strong enough in this particular dilemma ''of loosing weight''. i am a very active loud and energetic person that has always been over weight. between 57 to 70 kilos starting from the ages of 12 which at that age i started to try various diets.
Not all of them worked out for me...
Excursive was not a problem i was doing many sports at the time such as badminton , volleyball , swimming, tennis, table tennis and so on , so i was very active and had a lot of muscle which i hate as a woman!So excessive was not the problem ,what i realize all these years ( i now am 20 years old) which has been my problem is keeping a stable diet as in the food i used to eat and what i would it at what time!
So a few days ago i had my female cousin which used to be a model in her teens and 20s in Vogue said that many people and models used the tape warm tablet as a way to keep that extra fat they didn't want away! That's how i got the idea of looking for such a thing.
But after researching and looking deeper in to the subject i realized i don't need it and there is a better way of doing things.
so i got my self an appointment with a dietitian and i was told this diet which helped me loose 7kg in 2-3weeks time.
aaaah!!!! my diet doesn't fit only 3000 characters aloud!!!! see my nest comment

But don
1. A man eats a poorly cooked piece of beef containing the encysted bladderworm (tapeworm cyst) in the skeletal muscle tissue. The young tapeworm attaches to the man's intestinal wall by its smaller, anterior end called the scolex. The scolex anchors the the tapeworm to the host's intestinal wall by four suckers. Note: Some early diet pills actually contained a tapeworm cyst enclosed in a gelatin capsule, before they were banned by the Food & Drug Administration. You could take the pill and eat as much as you want without gaining weight! Of course, you were actually feeding a large tapeworm which could be very dangerous. The tapeworm grows by budding as the scolex produces flattened segments called proglottids. A human tapeworm may contain hundreds of proglottids and be several feet in length. Tapeworms compete with their host for nutrients. Large tapeworms may obstruct food passage, and if their scolex penetrates the intestinal lining, bacterial infection may result.
2. Tapeworms are hermaphroditic and each mature proglottid contains a complete male and female reproductive system. Self fertilization may occur, or cross-fertilization between proglottids of different worms may also occur. A single ripe proglottid may contain more than 100,000 eggs. The annual output of one worm is about 500 million eggs and the worm may continue this production for 20 years or more. Proglottids filled with embryonated eggs (containing embryos) break off and are discharged with human feces.
4. Much more serious than infection with an encysted bladderworm is the ingestion of tapeworm eggs directly. If the eggs are swallowed, the oncosphere larvae migrate through the body, not only skeletal muscle, but also into the heart, brain and other organs. Larvae of the dog tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum) live inside the bodies of fleas and lice. If eggs from this dangerous tapeworm are ingested, the worm may invade vital organs such as the brain. The habit of kissing the lips and tongue of a dog is somewhat questionable, especially considering their habit of biting fleas and licking themselves and other dogs in anal-genital regions. Another story to "gross you out" involves an affectionate cat that liked to rub against my arms while petting her. One day I noticed a tiny flat object on my elbow that just happened to be a fresh proglottid from a tapeworm inside her intestine.
I was reading the comments from a lot of people who are looking to loose weight, I was 214 pounds 5.4 feet tall (size 22W jeans ) and like everyone else tried every diet possible with out luck .
this is going to sound like a commercial but I'm down to a 136 (still 15 pounds away to my "ideal weight" according to the charts but a size 7 jeans 😊 ) and very much happy with myself ...I lost the weight with the LA weight loss program ,this guys were great they gave me a diary to record all my food, they started me out on their bars they are chocolate super yummy (seriusly try the caramel ones those taste great!!) you get two bars and plenty of food a day , I watch the weight pretty much melt away at 1.5 to 2.2 pounds a week it really got me excited ...I thought I would share is a bit expensive I paid 900 dlls for my weight loss but it was soo worth it 😊
Where can you buy a tapeworm?
I dont know what FYI means but i agree with you they can kill you and you must be pretty dam stupid to put shit like that in yourself.
I did it, it helped but i felt tired and felt like crap.
Hence the price of these f..ckers are expensive to get these knumb nuts in the gym and burn the fat, cause even after you ve taken this glory worm you still need to maintain your body.
And its very easy to put the weight back on.
That means Alyssa Go Fuck Yourself silly. You say you are a learned person with medical and parasite elements.
You read to many comics, there are various versions of tape worm Beef, pig and even FISH they are killed with a de-worming tablet they are not immune to these tablets, and they offer no resistance.
The only dangerous form of tape worm is pig. Which has been found to create a measles type effect in the tissue of the host thus spreading to various parts of the body.
Im not promoting the fucking thing, but if people want to try it they can buy it.
The percentage of people that die from tape worms must be in the vicinity of 0.001% of all infected.
And most of the fuckers that die are in africa cause they dont have access to medication.... and i live in africa.
This worm does not offer any form of resistance to medication.
Also your story about the mexican,,, dam you were smoking something this worm is so brittle you yank on it it will break. Please send me sum of dat stuff you were snorting as it may have been a great story you heard at the time. Imagine this guy bending over and his wife gets a crane to put a worm out of his ass. How far was she going with the worm before it broke
I have read this page backwards, why hate those that want to loose weight. I was in South America for 2 years and I got the tape worm (by accident). Dam i lost weight quick it helped me speed my metabolism up. It was great (a little energy draining).At some point i thought i had contracted HIV ( i met up with my old boyfriend there) cause of all the weight loss. Then suddenly I went to the Doc he told me I was negative and did a scan dam "it was BIG"
He immediatly prescribed medicine, but i never took it I wanted to loose another 5 pounds, did it in 6 days and BAM "it" was a gonna.
Any one interested in speaking to me about it can gladly contact me

My name is Caitlin and I am trying to do some research about the tapeworm diet. I am hoping to talk to people who have tried the diet, or would like to. I can be reached via e-mail at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Thank you!
My weight problems has affected me physically as well as emotionally. After doing many online research, I decided to give it a try on the BEEF tapeworm. From the scientific evidence, it is relatively harmless.
I just swallowed a few cysts (not all of them will survive in my body). And hopefully it will make a difference this time.
To people who thinks this idea is disgusting: please do your homework first before making any comment on all parasite are DANGEROUS. There is so many allergies people from wealthy countries are experiencing, all due to weakened immune system as everything is so clean.
My plan is to keep my worm for only 3 months. If works, I will pause and do it again in order to reach my goal.
Good for you GAL the worm works just control it kill it and start it again.
The beef worm doesnt kill cows easily and there can be 100s of them mother %^uckers in the beast.
I did it it worked it was cool easy and no sweat

Please google "beef tapeworm" before posting such comment.
There are 3 stages of life cycle of tapeworm,
eggs->cysts ->adult, then back to eggs again. eggs->cysts is deadly dangerous, the cysts can grow everywhere, into lungs, brain, etc. But cysts->adult is harmless in the intestine.
Human can only be the definitive host for Beef tapeworm which means only adult beef tapeworm will survive inside of your intestine. And that's it. So if human swallow beef tapeworm cysts, it will become adult worm inside of you.
You can eat spoons of Beef tapeworm eggs and it won't survive in human, because cattle is the ONLY intermediate host. Only cattle is capable of growing cysts in its muscles if beef tapeworms eggs are present in the feed.
However, pork tapeworm is a different story. Human can be both intermediate and definitive host. Which means, it can complete the egg-cyst-adult cycle within human. So yes, if by accident you swallow some pork tapeworm eggs, it will grow cysts everywhere in your body. This is not the case with the beef tapeworm!!!
Please stop being ignorant. Hookworms and whipworms are used to combat certain diseases as a natural therapy. So why not beef tapeworm? As long as you are certain of what you swallow are beef tapeworm cysts, you are going to be safe.
The other thing is how rude and unpleasant a lot of comments are, don't you have any empathy for others ? There are a lot of people who are desperate to lose weight and fit into a society that highly values superficial appearance. Some people carry 'fat' genes that mean that their normal body weight is huge, their body will try to maintain that huge size. They have evolved because food was scarce and it was good for survival to carry the extra fat to get through tough times. In our world food is everywhere so the gene is now detremental... There has been some research on this, it seems that genetically the body is programmed to be a certain size and going against the weight the body means fighting it all the way. It's easy to mock fat people when your body is programmed to be thin and you can just call others lazy and glutenous.
I was very fit and thin until, I had to take steroids for my immune condition and I put on 4st. I have seen how people react differently to me and it's not pleasant to listen to arrogant, rude and stupid people simply telling me to diet.
I will be taking a tape worm to control my immune system, we have evolved to live with parasites and when living in a super clean place the body ramps up the sensitivity of the immune system looking for them, causing bad allergies. It's not a great solution but it wll be better than living off steroids - which do have dreadful side effects.
Let's not debate the morality of being over weight in a world where some people are starving, that's due to a political situation in society. Let's think of the individual.. some fat people are so desparate to lose weight they are undertaking stomache bypasses, now personally a tape worm seems the lesser or two evils.
