StanleyZEN Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I heard a while back that some people would ingest real tapeworms in order to lose weight. For those who don't know, tapeworms are parasites that get into the digestive system of animals and humans and eat off food and other stuff within the body. I've heard of some people who literally get a tapeworm in order to lose weight. Would you ever do something so drastic? I couldn't do it, but I bet there are many who would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Wow that is really strange. I could not think of putting another live creature inside of me to help aid in weight loss. Going for a run sounds like much more fun. From my reading on the topic this is the same as a tapeworm infection which has been proven to be extremely dangerous and can do more harm then good. There are some crazy people out there trying some crazy things. In the end there are no short cuts and completing a goal is supposed to be hard. We have to make sacrifice and change to our daily habits to accomplish the things we want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I know this was a trend at some time, I don't think people still do this today though. With the way the world is however, I could bet you there are clinics around the world who do offer this as "treatment" but it is under medical supervision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mila Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Gee I sure hope not! Nothing about this sounds like a good idea! I had parasites once and I have to tell you, it is horrible! The medication to treat stuff like this isn't any better. I mean I felt ill for weeks. Not worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonder Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 This seems awfully dangerous. The things people will try nowadays are crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
