Tape Worm Diet Proven to be a Fraud!!!

Some people come up with the craziest schemes to lose weight and this one is completely insane!!! But some people claimed that tapeworms could make you lose weight, so what does one British Doctor do? He flies to Kenya to obtain some tape worms and then swallows three of them. Why Kenya? Well because it is illegal to buy tape worms in both the United Kingdom and in the USA. DUH! Sounds like a good idea to me. hahahahaha The British Doctor, Dr. Michael Mosley, specifically wanted tape worms that were found in beef because those are less lethal. Tape worms can be found in either beef or pork meat that is undercooked. Dr. Mosley, flew to Kenya because he had a tip that some tape worm eggs were in cysts that were found in the tongue of a cow at a slaughter house. That's right folks, he swallowed three cysts that were found on the dead cow's tongue. Yum Yum tasty. NOT! Let's say it together, EEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Anyway, the good doctor swallowed then and he also swallowed a tiny camera so that he would be able to view the tape worms on his IPad. Ingenious! But totally cray cray too!!! Sounds to me like the "doctor" is more of a "Mad Scientist"!!! hahahaha So the doctors theory was that tape worms make you loose weight because they consume some of the calories that you consume. Well, in this instance, Dr. Mosley gained 2lbs. He was craving carbohydrates and so he was consuming a lot of carbohydrates, especially sugar and chocolate. Some of the symptoms of having a tapeworm, are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Dr. Mosley surmised that any weight loss would probably be more from vomiting and diarrhea than the actual tapeworms. Once Dr. Mosley had disproved his theory, he took medications to kill off his intestinal parasites. I just cannot believe the lengths that some people will go to in the name of science!!! Tapeworms are a very serious condition to have and sometimes they travel to the brain and can kill you. (That's the pork kind, definitely!) So, Dr. Mosley really took a chance on doing this experiment, even though, the beef kind are less lethal and not infectious between humans. (So there was no chance he could pass them on to his wife.) Ewww, I just can't believe he did this!!! Oh! also mentioned in this article, was a woman who got really sick from swallowing a capsule she purchased on the Internet that contained tapeworms.  Dr. Mosley said he would never consume a capsule containing tapeworms because you didn't know where they came from and that was just too dangerous to do. Yeah, right, you would rather fly to Kenya and did them out of the tongue of a dead cow, 'cause that is so much more safer!!! (Shakes head and rolls eyes!!!!) hahahahaha
