Okay I'm infected, now what?

Now you get home and tell your doctor what you've done. Your physician
in addition to giving you the correct prescription for killing the tapeworm
should be aware of your condition in case you should have any unusual
adverse reactions. In at least one documented case a woman from the
Netherlands had her intestines perforated by a tapeworm. Of course this is
exceedingly rare, but again why take anymore risks than necessary. The
next couple weeks should be rather uneventful. Around the third or fourth
week you'll notice an increase in your appetite and in some people
bloating and pain around your upper abdomen. This pain should be mild
and comparable to gas pain. If your pain gets more than uncomfortable
you take the Praziquantel prescribed by your doctor and kill the worm.
Period. Otherwise you cruise, that is eat right and exercise until around
week ten. At this point the prepatent period of the worm will be ending
and this means the worm will start shedding off segments. It's time to kill
the worm. Not only are they extremely unpleasant when they migrate out
of your digestive system, but these segments represent a very real health
risk. The motile segments can wedge themselves into the pancreatic duct
or appendix both of which will result in conditions that can kill you. So,
take your Praziquantel at 1mg/kg of body weight and say goodbye to your
buddy.

My contribution is Urine Therapy - thats right, drinking your own urine.

And here is a testimonial.

Drinking your own urine is hard on your kidneys since they have to get rid of the same waste twice. Although urine is fairly sterile bacteria grow very rapidly in it. For these and other reasons this is highly inadvisable. So far the alties have not recomended drinking some else urine.

A cousin of mine was a principal dancer in the Alberta Ballet Company many years ago and ecountered a somewat less disgusting version of urine therapy. She said a Russian woman who was whatever the ballet equivalent of a coach advocated urinating on a sprain or similar injury. She called it the pee-pee cure.

I am sure reading these links will be benificial to anyone who is trying to lose weight. They will act as a appetite supressant.

[Edited to correct a typo, add a warning for any idiots (i.e. anyone who would think Ann Coulter has anything worthwile to say after discovering that she is a lier) that might read this, and shamelesly bump this topic.]

Another of Charles's associates, the hereditary peer and crossbencher Lord Baldwin of Bewdley, went to the Tijuana clinic in 1996 when his wife Sally was seriously ill with breast cancer. She spent eight weeks at the clinic, followed by another two years of using the regime at home. Her disease recurred and she died three years ago.

A research study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association[7] found significant levels of toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic in 20% of Ayurvedic preparations that were made in India for sale in America. Similar studies have been performed in India, and have confirmed these results. In response to the study, some practitioners of Ayurveda claimed that "heavy metals are integral to some formulations and have been used for centuries. There is no point of doing trials as they have been used safely and have mention in our ancient texts."

There have also been reported cases of poisoning from Ayurvedic medicine - including "kidney and liver damage due to mercury deposition, nerves and abdominal problems due to lead." [9]

Though some people fear that coning will leave them mindless, the only real dangers are from burning, infection, obstruction of the ear canal and perforation of the eardrum.

The origin of this unnatural practice has been given as ancient Tibet, China, India, Egypt, and pre-Columbian America. Even Atlantis is cited as a possible origin. In other words, we don't have a clue how this thing got started.

The coffee enema detoxifies the liver, as well as cleans the colon. Coffee stimulates the liver to make more bile. Bile, from the gallbladder draws out environmental and metabolic toxins, as well as the very irritating toxins from Candida albicans and other parasite-like organisms. The colon is the organ responsible for carrying away these toxins. In addition, coffee enemas stimulate the liver to produce enzymes that clean the blood. Coffee enemas also assist the colon to develop better function.

Do ear candles and coffee enemas qualify as curatives in this thread? I only ask that because they really are mainstream in the new age curative market…

Heck, I can get ear candles at almost any health food store.

Speaking of 'mainstream,' check out traditional Chinese medicine.
