Parasites controling your cravings. How true?

Oh, I'm sorry, but:

YES!

What you mean like the wasp that sting and ant and then controls it type of parasites lol

What? Like the hymeno epimcis argyaphaphaga?

Sorry if spelling is not correct...:)

Scientist Eberhard? Studying?

Hi Guys,
I have seen some videos about parasites in your body that could be small or big, but controlling your cravings and mind completely. How true is that? Is there a way to kill them? or even finding out if you have them? I'll appreciate any input.

I would tighten your tinfoil hat to prevent them from controlling you

Yeah, totally this. Also, make sure you are using quality tin foil, not the generic. :smokin:

The only parasites that control my appetite are the advertising people who put restaurant commercials on the tube right before I go to bed. I know several ways to kill them but I'm fairly certain they violate some statute.

Yes, I can imagine that you're only used to discussing that species in conversation and thus would be uncertain of the spelling, only the pronunciation.

What?!

I've had 2 parasites in my body controlling cravings... but I gave birth to them after about 40 weeks...

Thanks for the laugh of the day!:drinker:

I did have a parasite once in my intestines. The only thing that I craved was some serious meat. It was the only thing that satisfied me during that time. The parasite did not like carbs or anything surgary lol. But like the biggest cheeseburger I could find. It was not a fun experience.

This is a great reply. I totally agree with what you say, except that I have never heard of Hulda Clark. I have done an herbal parasite cleanse a couple of times and like you, always felt better afterward.

While there are some worm-like and single-celled organisms that can infect humans, the vast majority are extraordinarily rarely encountered in developed countries. There is some evidence that certain parasites can affect or modify human behaviour, but certainly not in the way that you're suggesting.

Long story short: you don't need to worry about parasites. This question raises some alarm bells about delusions of parasitosis. That's a slippery slope you don't want to go down.

^^This, Unless you are living in or have recently traveled to a developing country I wouldn't worry.

System of down summed it up....

My tape worm tells me where to go
My tape worm tells me what to do
Pull the tape worm outta your @$$

rml_16 · January 2014

I bet The Organization controls the parasites.

Shuuma · January 2014

Nuke them from orbit. It is the only way to be sure...

Favorite movie ever!

ArtemisRuns · January 2014

I've heard of people deliberately eating a tapeworm to lose weight. Ugh

mariellenlopez · January 2014

I have considered that candida releases excrement back into your body as it is a living organism. Too much sugar creates its own beast in your cells!

ekz13 · January 2014

I've so had these... they are parasites that live at the bottom my beers and make me eat crappy fast food at 3AM on the weekends.. :drinker:

lexbubbles · January 2014

Am I the only nerd here thinking about Stargate? :happy:

Nope, I was as well. The Goa'uld are upon us! We must flee!

Mecklar75 · January 2014

Yeah that's a scam. Candida is a fancy term for yeast.

Mecklar75 · January 2014

Were you perhaps thinking of this, http://keybiotics.com/video_toon15c.php. ? My brother sent it to me, but at nearly an hour long I didn't have the patience to watch it. No idea if its bunk or a sales pitch or what...

Yeah this is the scam for Candida aka Yeast

tomomatic · January 2014

This is not completely absurd.

The H.Pylori bacterial infection is responsible for causing ulcers in a small percentage of carriers. Stomach ulcers can cause hunger-like pains. Eating temporarily quells those pains (which can lead to weight gain). This kind of infection is common in people that travel frequently to 3rd world countries. The bacteria resides on vegetables that haven't been thoroughly cleaned and cooked. Incubation period can be up to 10 years so it's nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact moment someone was infected.

Ha, I also saw a couple minutes of that video yesterday and realized it was way too long and someone was probably peddling some herbal "remedy'. We have so many things living in our bodies that we can't see, who cares.

EDIT: And the thumbnail pic for the video was a hydrothermal worm, a microscopic worm that lives near hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean, not in our bodies.

Damn, nature! You scary!!
