Maria Callas and tapeworm
Billie
dating Ari Onasis so she swallowed a tape worm and lost 100 lbs. I can't
remember where I read it, but I've been meaning to ask if anyone knows if
that's true.

It's rather unlikely. Tapeworms are caught from being bitten by an infected
flea. The flea is necessary as an intermediary in tapeworm life cycle.
Besides; it's not just one worm. It's a whole belly full of the wigglers.
Maria just got fed up with being the butt of fat jokes and went on a calorie
restricted diet. Or so she said. Sounds like diet pills to me.
or as the blonde from Ab Fab said, "Darling, I have not eaten any solid food
since 1983."

I also read that someplace (can't remember where!) and then in a recent
"People" magazine with Harrison Ford on the cover, the mag did a book
review about a new book on Callas (it got baaaaaaaaaaad reviews) that
showed before and after pictures of her: fat before the tapeworm, slim
after the tapeworm. There was no more mention of the tapeworm than what
was said on the photo captions.
I am beginning to think it is an urban myth. I can't imagine any rich
person (or any person!), desperate or not to lose weight, intentionally
swallowing a parasite.

Not any more weird to me than having molars or ribs removed
for vanity reasons.
I read about the molar thing with Marlene Dietrich (sp), I don't
remember who supposedly had a rib or two or three removed..
So - what other weird and/or gruesome things have been done
by celebs in the name of "beauty?"
Anyone?

gruesome. I saw the opening few minutes of that horrific movie her husband
directed her in, and I couldn't stop looking at her lips. I think they're
not collagen, which absorbs into the skin eventually, but silicone. Guess
she wanted to be consistent. Meow!
Everything Michael Jackson has done to himself in the last 20 years or so is
weird.
One rumor I heard is that on some soap opera an actress got food poisoning
and lost 20 lbs. very quickly. After that, several co-stars quickly hunted
down the bad food to get a case themselves. That doesn't sound far out to
me, in terms of what some actors would do in the name of vanity, but I never
heard names or anything, of course.

It was very fashionable during Victorian times, IIRC. Along with corseting
onesself so tightly that the internal organs rearranged.

It is not possible to have any of your ribs removed! Ribs protect the
internal organs. I'll believe it when I see a documented case.

Bette Midler says she lost weight recently from eating bad sushi. And the
person who supposedly had ribs removed to have a smaller waist was Cher. (she
denies it)
Mary Campbell
According to snopes.com, the urban-myth discussion/debunking site, it's
possible that tapeworm diet pills were marketed in the U.S. between 1900
and 1920, since a number of sources have reported seeing print ads for
them. No indication how they worked -- did they contain tapeworm eggs?
As for Maria Callas, snopes.com claims that she really was inflicted with
tapeworms because of her fondness for steak tartare (i.e. steak served raw).
But there's no evidence that she deliberately swallowed tapeworms to lose
weight.
How would that work, anyway? How does a tapeworm reduce its
host's body weight and would the loss be that significant? Callas lost
over 100 pounds, I believe.

was looking great and asked her how she did it. She replied
"intestinal parasites". She was serious too.

He's probably a celebrity only in his own mind, but ... have you ever seen
a picture of Mr. Pearl?
If not, here he is: http://www.manchester.com/java/features/poshbecks3.html
His waist is 18 inches, and he didn't achieve this by having ribs removed
-- just by wearing a corset 24/7 (except in the shower).
The Living Personification of Evil
Usually it's not 'a' tapeworm; it's a mess of them. They hook on in the
stomach and intestines. They can, if the situation is bad enough, cause the
person to feel bloated and 'full' all the time and at the same time absorb
enough of the food taken in by the host to cause the host to lose weight.
Back in the late 'thirties my mother had tapeworm to the point where she had to
be hospitalized, not usual in those times. I remember her telling me she got
skinny to the point of emaciation before she was admitted. She had to go
without eating for awhile to 'starve' the worms and then was given a noxiously
disgusting liquid to drink. They waited for the dead worms to pass and lined
them up to make sure they got all of them...the segments sort of detached and
came out but it was vital that the heads die and come out. My favorite part of
the story was my mother's reaction when one of the nurses explained to her that
it was a damn good thing she'd had all those worms because what they'd had her
drink was pure poison to kill them. If the worms hadn't absorbed virtually all
of it she'd have been ghastly sick or dead.

Oh yes. Of course you are right. What was I thinking? I went through the
tapeworm thing with my cats so many times, I should be able to recite their

of Hollywood. I remember quite clearly a "Dr" saying that actresses were
intentionally having parasites introduced into their systems, reaching their
desired skinniness & then killing them off. The show never mentioned a tape
worm specifically, but did show pics of Lara Flynn Boyle & Debra Messing
while the Dr's voice over was rambling....

segments from the parent worm crawl out of your ass.
Saw this myself with my poor little cat! She was definitely super-model thin
and one day there was the little thingy hanging off the back! I got her to the
vet pronto. One of the truly gross moments.
If Callas actually did this she would have to be completely nuts.
lav...@webtv.net
in one year and became a sensation in the opera world as a great actress
as well as singer, she really looked like the characters she was playing
on stage. There is a video of her as "Tosca" which is staggeringly
brilliant. This was several years before she met Onassis on the
"Christina" with none other than Winston Churchill aboard. They
mention tape-worm eggs in the book, and that she had to take medication
to expel the tapeworm, and then started to lose the weight. It's all
part of the legend. Fascinating book IMO, and quite tragic all around
with some scary conincidences, such as both Onassis' son Alex, and
Jackie's son JFK, Jr. dying while piloting an aircraft.

Maria , Callas Remembered
Nadia Stancioff
1987, E.P. Dutton
ISBN 0-525-24565-0
p. 92: [while in Mexico City] She asked Simionata to accompany her to a
plastic surgeon to see if an operation could improve her heavy legs.
The answer was negative. So she subjected herself to endless torture:
Electric massage, hot-wax treatments and frequent Turkish baths.
p. 106: [...] The attention the press now gave to Maria's weight
problem humiliated and enraged her. [...]
I knew she experimented with a number of crash diets and diuretics, but
she told me she always went back to her basic meat diet, which she
followed most of her life: rare beef or (raw) steak tartare, sometimes
accompanied by a salad or vegetable. I get quite nauseated at the
thought of all the raw meat I watched Maria eat during our meals
together in Rome and Paris.
Then, at the end of 1953, the incredible Callas metamorphosis began.
She gradually lost 65 pounds over the next couple of years. She went
from 210 to 144 pounds. The press, of course, reveled in her
transformation, exploiting the before-and-after pictures. [blah blah]
According to Maria, there was no secret diet or potion; the answer was
a taenia, or tapeworm, which is sometimes acquired from raw or rare
meat. Maria told me she had one twice, which made me wince in
disgust. .......................................
T* Maria Callas lost 65 lbs. due to tapeworm infection.

Okay. I've seen tapeworms in pretty much everything BUT humans, and I
gotta say:
Tapeworms are much like fish in that they will become as large as their
"tank" allows. Guinea pigs will have tiny ones, cows and horses wind up
with worms the size of small snakes. I would imagine that a tapeworm
infestation in an adult human would prove only slightly smaller.
Tapeworms "break off" from their "queens", and these small segments are
CONstantly crawling out of the anus [in addition to weaving themselves
throughout each and every dump].
This is [if one doesn't check animals' bowel movements regularly] *THE*
sign that there's a tapeworm problem. The ass is teeming with squiggly
little white things that stand up and wave. And every time the animal
sits, it leaves them crawling on the surface of whatever...if it's cool
and dry they literally turn to dust within minutes, leaving nothing but
a white, powdery trail.
But if it's warm and wet, they can probably squiggle for hours...
Whenever I hear the "tapeworm as diet" stories I instinctively *CRINGE*
at the thought of dealing with a dance marathon in my anus.
BTW, tapeworms *HATE* garlic, pumpkin seeds, and wheat germ oil. Any
of these, alone or in combination, is a good natural remedy...

Some 10 years ago, my younger sister found out that she had tapeworms.
She liked to eat beef very rare. She always said that beef didn't
taste good any other way. When she was diagnosed, they put her in the
hospital and she was fed through her veins with a medicine that was
poison to the tapeworm. She was so sick at her stomach that they had
to give her sedatives to keep her from throwing up. It took over a
week to finally get rid of them. To this day she cooks everything til
it's almost burnt. She said that she never wanted to go through that
again.

true. Apparently others have done the same thing.

diagnosed until his autopsy,
He was having blackouts and headaches, the Doctors thought it was
seizures, but when they pulled 5 tapeworms from his brain, they
realized that they had been eating on his nerves and so on, very sad. It
was a sudden death they ate something that controlled his breathing.
