The Parasitic Disease Research Center reported they had found an 18 meter long tapeworm in a patient in Nong Khai.

 

The patient had submitted a fecal sample at a mobile testing unit that revealed the tell-tale signs.

 

Medication brought out the tapeworm that was a result of eating uncooked beef.

The "taenia saginata" was the longest detected in 50 years - meriting lots of pointing from the staff of the research center. 

 

Sanook reported that tapeworms can live in people for 30 years but modern day medication usually means they don't last long.

They're not pointing, they are holding it down so it cannot escape!

Uncooked Beef, and there I was thinking that Tape Worms had a life cycle that went through Pigs.

Remember you are what you eat, and always chew your food many times before you swallow with your mouth closed.

keto is working for me, but you need to be near a keto store/restaurant w/keto breads and baked goods... they are now pretty decent.

Hmmmm, now this has got me thinking, do I have an insatiable appetite or a tapeworm ?

I'll bet it didn't come out the way (direction) you think it did... (at least not all of it)

they told you: "uncooked beef". It should works with pig too... maybe if you eat old and uncooked pig, you should loose weight quicker... You can also try to drink dirty water.
