The fairness of the statement "beauty requires sacrifice" can be better understood when you hear about new and new methods of correcting a figure. On what only the victims go beauties in pursuit of a thin waist and slender hips. And some lovers of delicious food, who do not want to limit themselves particularly in eating and engage in grueling exercises from the fitness series, are immediately rushed to extremes, using far from harmless diet pills, the most effective of which, according to reviews on the Internet, are pills with worms for weight loss.

Let's not go deep into reflections, this is who we must be and how much we must not love ourselves, to independently, by our own will, plant parasites into our organism. Let's just figure out what kind of "miraculous pills that allow you to do a little thin out of a" little pussy "in a very short time, and what will be the consequences of such weight loss.

Tablets with worms: a reality or an advertising course?

No matter how strong the desire to get rid of a couple of extra pounds, for many, the very expression "tablets with worms" sounds shocking. Some girls think it can be ordinary tablets, and we are talking about some extract or extract from parasites included in the drug.

Do not deceive yourself, the main component of any tablets with worms for weight loss are eggs of parasites, and sometimes microscopic fragments of adults. Such fragments can be about fifty, which allows you to quickly turn your body into a hotbed of worms.

According to the information, supposedly kindly provided by the producers of miracle tablets, one tablet contains no more than 2 eggs of helminths belonging to ribbon or roundworms (bovine tapeworm, pork tapeworm, roundworms, broad tapeworm). The length of an adult of these parasites varies from 20-25 centimeters to 12 meters.

Those who are frightened by this information, and also terribly worried about the possibility to get rid of the bred parasites, the producers calm down, assuring that in combination with the main drug there are tablets that help at any time to cleanse the body of helminths without pain.

Tablets with worms for weight loss are the brainchild of scientists from Thailand, however, through online sales, they quickly spread and in the vastness of our trustful country. Many Ukrainian girls, believing in the statements about product safety and the possibility of quickly eliminating the negative consequences of their use, believe that Thai tablets with worms are almost a panacea for excess weight, becoming a common incubator for helminths.

And it would be worth thinking about how safe for health can be parasites, from which humanity in the whole history of existence tried only to get rid of. In addition, these products are not delivered to the shelves of domestic pharmacies, not because of their scarcity. The names of tablets with worms are just as diverse (about a hundred names), as well as their widespread distribution on the Internet. Yes, only the Ministry of Health of any self-respecting country will not allow such a drug to be widely distributed through the pharmacy network.

There is no such evidence for use that would justify infecting the body with parasites, no matter how good the purpose of this measure. And the excess weight itself will bring as much harm to health as these parasites can bring? Whatever the consequences of obesity, no professional doctor will advise his patient on treatment with worms, although mediation in the sale of not cheap Thai tablets with worms could become a very profitable business, it's not for nothing that our "businessmen" not related to medicine.

What is included in the composition of tablets?

As already mentioned, the capsules from Thailand, designed to combat excess weight, include eggs or larvae of various types of helminths. However, according to the descriptions for different preparations with worms, their composition includes other, mainly vegetative components.

The exact and complete composition of tablets with worms for weight loss on the pages of the Internet, where these drugs are sold, can not be found. The reason for this is the allegedly secret formula of tablets, which manufacturers do not hurry to disclose. In fact, the full list of components, most likely, can shock the impressionable customers and cause even more questions and doubts.

In Thai preparations, according to some studies, useful plants such as valerian, senna, garcinia, Indian chrysanthemum, tinospora and others, which have a positive effect on the body and somewhat reduce the negative impact and consequences of "helminthotherapy". Due to its urine and choleretic action, as well as a laxative effect, they also contribute to weight loss. But the main effect is still achieved due to the inclusion in the composition of helminth tablets.

There were cases when in the composition of Thai tablets with worms were found psychotropic substances, which the manufacturers preferred to keep silent. These are analogues of amphetamine, classified as narcotic substances.

You can not blame the Thai producers for concealing information and distributing narcotic substances, which is prosecuted by law. After all, in many countries, phentermine and fenfluramine are officially used in medical practice to combat obesity. It's all about their ability to reduce appetite and secretion of the stomach, effectively helping to fight hunger. In addition, taking these drugs stimulates an increase in energy consumption in a person, which again contributes to weight loss.

Similar drugs can be found on pharmacy shelves, for example, in Australia and America, but we can only buy them illegally. In addition, components from the genus of amphetamines have negative sides. In addition to provoking a strong addiction in the patient, which contributes to the development of mental and heart disorders, Thai tablets with worms that contain narcotic substances can cause unpleasant symptoms in the form of dry mucous membranes, headaches, depression, frequent urination and etc.

And it is not known what else can be found in diet pills that are distributed through the Internet, without clear instructions and security guarantees. And the ordinary buyer is unlikely to conduct experiments to study the composition and action of the drug purchased to combat excess weight. The desire to become slender is often ready to overcome all kinds of doubts about the safety of the facility.

Pharmacodynamics

Interestingly, the girls from Thailand themselves use the "scientific" achievements of their relatives? After all, theoretically everything is calculated correctly, the effect of reducing weight and reducing the form is indeed present. But with what sacrifices is this achieved ?!

Pharmacodynamics of tablets with worms is based on the properties of the parasites themselves to live at the expense of the host organism. Swallowing pills with larvae of worms, a person becomes this very host, who, feeding himself, feeds his "pets".

Getting into the human gastrointestinal tract by swallowing a miracle capsule for weight loss, after a couple of weeks the young helminths begin active action, and after a while, reaching maturity, they become able not only to actively feed, but also multiply within the body.

Most of the life of the worms is carried out in the human intestine, mainly in the small intestine, where they find everything they need for life: semi-digested food, used by humans, useful flora, access to blood, which the ascarids love. It turns out that the food we eat becomes a food for parasites. Accordingly, whatever and in what quantities a person has eaten, in the form of fat nothing will be postponed, since it will go to feed worms. In return, we get toxic products of vital activity of helminths, which also do not contribute to weight gain.

Depending on the parasite concealed in the pill, the weight loss process can take 3-6 months. As a rule, during this time it takes 12-15 extra pounds while the person does not limit himself in eating and does not engage in fitness.

Pharmacokinetics

After the desired result is achieved, the question arises of removing now unwanted assistants from the body, since they themselves are not in a hurry to leave the hospitable "home". Leaving them in the body is not very safe, as the number of worms increases significantly as a result of reproduction, and so does the degree of intoxication of the body with the products of their vital activity. But the pharmacokinetics of these drugs does not include the removal of toxins from the human body of the helminth carrier.

To remove the helminths from the intestine use the same Thai tablets, but with a different effect, usually going in conjunction with the tablets with worms, which are used for weight loss. According to reviews, these funds are not always effective, and the fight against worms has to continue already with pharmacy.

On this course of treatment of excess weight by means of tablets from growing thin is considered finished. The further result depends only on the patient. Those who believe that pills with worms for weight loss is an easy way to lose weight, not limiting yourself in any way, we are forced to disappoint. After removing the worms to fix the result, a fairly strict diet will have to be adhered to for a long time, so that the weight does not return at twice the speed, because the actions of parasites necessarily violate many of the processes occurring in the human body, including metabolism.

Dosing and administration

For those who are accustomed to take risks and still decided to try this method of weight loss, there is one good advice: before ordering and using tablets with worms for weight loss, it is advisable to read not only advertising posts and advice from product distributors, but also to look for real feedback from those who used specific means for weight loss.

It is not necessary to expect that with the tablets you will receive detailed instructions for their use, and if you receive, you can hardly read it correctly. It is also very difficult to find such information on the Internet. Even the use of tablets with worms can be "secret" information. It is known only that the drug has a complex effect. Packing of such tablets is designed for 1 course of treatment and contains both tablets for infection with worms, which must be taken at the first stage of excess weight therapy, and capsules that help to withdraw worms from the body when the effect of weight loss is reached, i.e. After 3-6 months of "helminthotherapy". This form of release prevents the possibility of drug overdose, unless, of course, the patient does not want to increase its effectiveness by doubling the dose, which will lead to overpopulation of the body with worms and can provoke not the acceleration of weight loss, but intestinal obstruction.

Use of the tablets with worms for weight loss during pregnancy

And if the worms are capable of causing great harm to an adult healthy organism, the use of tablets with worms during pregnancy, when a young child grows and develops inside a woman, is not discussed at all. First, eating food intended for the mother and fetus, helminths steal them, depriving not only fats and carbohydrates, but also useful substances, vitamins, microelements, so necessary for the growing body.

Secondly, infection with helminths, and especially ascarids, larvae of which are able to move freely along the bloodstream, disrupting the liver and lungs of the mother, can cause fetal lesions that cause pathologies of the brain and lungs in an unborn baby.

Yes, and drugs to combat helminths, which judging by the advertising posts also consist only of natural plant components, despite this may adversely affect the course of pregnancy and fetal development.

Contraindications

Based on the assurances of manufacturers, Thai tablets based on natural ingredients and aspartame, serving as a sweetener, are suitable for everyone. Nevertheless, based on the foregoing, it can be assumed that contraindications to the use of these drugs for weight correction may include diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular pathologies, liver and kidney problems, periods of pregnancy and breastfeeding, children's age.

Side effects of the tablets with worms for weight loss

Despite the fact that manufacturers in the brochures guarantee the full safety of their products, there are still some doubts. A large number of names of tablets with worms for weight loss, controversial information about manufacturers, the lack of a description of the composition and the effects of drugs can not but alarm. And if you take into account that along with legal tablets, a large number of fakes come to the market of medicines, it is easy to understand that using them is a real risk to health and even for the life of a patient with excess weight.

Infection with worms is an unpleasant thing, but easy. It is enough to take a pill - and the process is launched for several months. But to survive these same 3-6 months is already much more difficult, because the whole course of "treatment" has to experience side effects of miracle drugs, but there are quite a few of them:

  • Constant nausea, reaching for vomiting.
  • Violations of the stool, which can manifest as a constipation, and diarrhea.
  • Stitching pain in the intestine.
  • Bloating (flatulence).
  • Heaviness in the stomach.
  • Development of stomatitis.
  • Various skin manifestations: rashes, peeling, pigmentation change, cracks on the heels.
  • Swelling of the feet.
  • Fragility of the nail plate.
  • Increased fatigue and weakness.
  • Irritability and insomnia.

As for the ascarids, the red blood cells are a delicacy for the larvae of these parasites. This leads to the development of anemia due to infection with ascarids.

As a result of "helminthotherapy" you can get a whole bouquet of various diseases, such as:

  • a dysbacteriosis,
  • irritable bowel syndrome,
  • ulcerative lesions of the mucous, in particular the gastrointestinal tract due to a decrease in immunity,
  • allergy,
  • cirrhosis of the liver,
  • enterocolitis,
  • cholecystitis,
  • diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous system, respiratory organs, etc.

In addition, many types of helminths can provoke a banal intestinal obstruction, the treatment of which involves surgical intervention.

Negative consequences of treating excess weight through pills with worms are incommensurable with the use of their use, you can say the game is not worth the candle. Getting rid of the hated kilograms you can get in exchange a lot of no less unpleasant illnesses, the fight against which will be very expensive, both financially and physically, and in terms of time spent.

Interactions with other drugs

As for the interaction of Thai tablets with worms with other drugs, there is no definite information about the inadmissibility of their joint application. According to some reports, tablets from Thailand are perfectly combined with diuretics, sedatives, laxatives. It remains unclear the need for their use, if according to the assurances of manufacturers, tablets with worms for weight loss have all these properties.

Shelf life

As you can see, information about tablets with worms for weight loss is very stingy and ambiguous. Only her with a health risk can only be satisfied with short-sighted people who, moreover, absolutely do not like and do not care. But there are many different, safer and more effective methods and means by which not only weight can be adjusted, but health can be strengthened.
