No Way !!, the eggs you are on about are tapeworm eggs and ive heard horrible stories about them growing very long and actually popping up out of your nose or mouth and making you very sick too.

Personally, no.
But you only have to look at some of the ridiculously unhealthy fad diets people do (Atkins - do realise what it's going to do to you?) to know that there'll be thousands of fools who'd try it.
Market it now and make a fortune out of these sad people!

That was already done in the 60's. People ingested pills containing tapeworm eggs, and they did lose weight. Happily, it was eventually banned.

NEVER! They leach important minerals etc. out of your system as well as carrying diseases!
Good God, look what they did to Maria Callas.
This is not the middle ages, you maniac!

No. Sounds too sickening. (Almost like the cure is worse than the disease)
