The Tapeworm Diet
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?

In the 1800's everyone had parasites and our bodies where much healthier than today! People didn't get sick as often! Our immune systems were strong! Don't trust Obamacare get a parisite pal! Don't be a loser and get taxed for being a fat meatwad! Obama is going to TAX the fat people!

You peopele that want to try this diet are crazy. I mean unless you want to be a vegetable for the rest of your life. I suppose you will lose wait when you are wasting away in nursing home. If you think that all the disgusting side effects of this diet are worth losing a few pounds that you will gain back soon than I suppose that is your idiodic choice to make. I guess this is something that must be really important to you.

This morning and all day today I drank lemon juice to bring the acidity levals in my body up. My acidity levals is very high!! I got rid of my worm today. I took some castor oil and a little turpintine. I am worm free. In the morning I'll start diet pills and continue to get rid of the fat!!! I'm now thinking about a life at sea!!!

I was getting sick of being bigger too, but i talked to my mom about it and she thought as a grad present i go to a weight loss clinic. I am currently with LA Weight Loss and they are excellent, you eat normal foods and you dont have to take pills. It's a little on the pricey side but even if you dont buy some of their foods you still loose weight. I am loosing an average of 1.7 lbs a week. By the time chirstmas rolls around i will have lost 50 lbs since june. Trust me having someone to help you through it is amazing and makes the differance.
