The Use of Tapeworms and Other Parasites to Cut Down Weight is on The Rise

There are many other good alternatives that we can use to lose weights than using parasites! Why use them? These people are going crazy! The use of natural food supplements that contain protein compounds like phenylalanine which are effective in suppressing appetite is a very good way to lose weight and are very nutritious, so why use parasites? I think this can be attributed to people's quest to try something new, something weird, and something crazy... This is like some people dying climbing steep cliff or some rocky mountains just for the thrill..

I can't believe any sane person would turn to using a parasite to lose weight! There is no guarantee that they will only stay in the intestine, (actually, it gives me the creeps just thinkin' about that...ewwwwwww) I guess some people are desparate enough to try that because they need to lose, but don't have massive amounts to lose like the folks that get the banding or stapling. I watched a segment on tv about this, and horror stories of tapeworms, etc, gone bad. Sounds like a dangerous proposition to me!!

Unfortunately, some people resort to doing odd things just to get thin. The media has been a big influence on what the "ideal" appearance of people should be from clothing to tastes and to looks as well. Their huge influence on being thin has made many people do everything in desperation even if it could be detrimental to health.
