What Happens If You Try the Tapeworm Diet? Risks, Side Effects, and More
How does a tapeworm diet work?
The tapeworm diet works by swallowing a pill inside a tablet egg. When the egg finally spreads, the tapeworm will grow inside your body and eat what you eat. The idea is that you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight because the tapeworm is eating all your "extra" calories.
But it only works in theory.
The tapeworm diet is similar to tapeworm infections, which are incredibly dangerous and can cause more harm than good. It is also considered an infection despite voluntarily eating a tapeworm or its eggs. Let's take a look at the risks, sources and effectiveness of the tapeworm diet.
What are the dangers of the tapeworm diet?
When a tapeworm spreads and attaches itself to its gut, it begins to feed its body nutrients and grows by reproducing itself from proglottids. Proglottids are the chain structures of a tapeworm.
The biggest danger with a tapeworm is that you can't control where it gets stuck. A tapeworm can attach to other organs or tissues outside your digestive system and cause serious damage. When this happens it is called an invasive infection. This can cause unpleasant symptoms:
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Nausea
Feeling weak
Fever
You can also get the experience:
Allergy to tapeworms
Bacterial infections
Nervous problems
The complexity of the diet for tapeworms
Dangerous complications that can occur with a tapeworm diet include:
Obstruction of the bile duct, appendix or pancreatic duct
Neuropsychiatry, a complication of the brain and nervous system that can cause dementia and vision problems
Disabilities of various parts of your body, including the lungs and liver
Where do people buy tapeworms?
It is difficult to say whether the pill contains any live tapeworm eggs, whether they are open or broken. There are many sources that confuse people by selling tapeworm diet pills. You cannot take these pills from any reputable medical professional. The Food and Drug Administration has banned these pills.
People who try the tapeworm diet report:
Unpleasant side effects of tapeworm infection
Gaining weight while being infected like a tapeworm can increase appetite
Greater desire for carbohydrates
How to get rid of a tapeworm
To get rid of tapeworms or treat tapeworm infections, your doctor may prescribe oral medications or other treatments depending on the type of infection you have.
Medications for intestinal tapeworm infections usually depend on the type of tapeworm you have, including:
Albendazole
Presicantal (biltricide)
Nitazoxanide
Uses used for invasive tapeworm infections (outside the intestine) prescribe albendazole for the treatment of cysts, among other treatments. These treatments may include:
Treatment of inflammation caused by infection
Anti-CJO medications if you have seizures due to infection
If treatment for hydrocephalus (swelling of the brain) occurs, place a tube in the head to drain excess fluid.
Surgical removal of cysts
Each type of treatment is determined by your type of infection, the type of tapeworm, and the complications caused by the infection.
History of the tapeworm diet
If the tapeworm diet is so healthy, where does it come from? The tapeworm diet was started by women in the Victorian era who wanted to achieve what society considered beautiful. This was done in the hope of attracting the husband. At that time, the value of beauty seemed to have tuberculosis. They wanted pale skin, dyed eyes, red cheeks and lips and of course a small waist.
To achieve this standard of beauty, women went to extremes. They wore corsets so tightly that they changed their bone structure and internal organs, took small toxins and much more. The inclusion of tapeworms was one of the basic measures for weight loss.
Today, some people continue to use this diet because, theoretically, it seems to be an easy way to lose weight without regular dieting or exercise. In fact, it seems to be a “magic” pill. But the reality is that the result can be much less magical.
BOTTOM LINE
There are no magic diet pills, even with tapeworms. There are dangerous complications of tapeworm, as well as a lack of evidence that can help you lose (and continue) weight effectively. But there are several health strategies you can take to improve your health that can also help you lose weight. Here are some of the healthiest methods:
Ensures your metabolism is not vitamin deficient
Stay aquatic with lime water
Practice every day
Eat a healthy diet with an emphasis on lots of vegetables.
A healthy diet and regular exercise are always safe and effective ways to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Consult your doctor and dietitian before beginning any diet or exercise program, especially if it involves a drastic change from your normal diet. They can help provide tips on how to make healthy transitions.
