Scolex of Taenia solium i.e. a tapeworm
wikipedia

Today, November 9, 2009,  on The Tyra Show you can learn about the Tapeworm Diet. Women are doing this diet in spite of how disgusting it is and how unhealthy it is. It is for real.

 Women are swallowing a parasite that eats up everything you consume. The food won't be absorbed into your body because the tapeworm eats everything that goes into you. You will lose weight because not only is the tapeworm eating the good and bad food you eat but you will also be nauseas, have diarrhea, and with all that comes loss of appetitie.


"Tapeworm infection is usually caused by ingesting raw or undercooked and contimated meat, pork or fish but according to the Mayo Clinic, if the eggs move out of the intestines, it can cause serious damage to organs and tissues resulting in cysts, allergic reactions and neurological consequences such as seizures. The Mayo Clinic also reports that adult tapeworms can measure up to 50 feet long and can survive as long as 20 years." Source
