Tapeworm Life Cycle
Causal Agents:
The cestodes (tapeworms) Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm) and T. solium (pork tapeworm). Taenia solium
can also cause cysticercosis.
Life cycle of Taenia saginata and Taenia solium
Taeniasis is the infection of humans with the adult tapeworm of Taenia saginata or Taenia solium. Humans are the only
definitive hosts for T. saginata and T. solium. Eggs or gravid proglottids are passed with feces 1; the eggs can survive for days to months in the environment. Cattle (T. saginata) and pigs (T.
solium) become infected by ingesting vegetation contaminated with eggs or gravid proglottids 2. In the animal's intestine, the oncospheres hatch 3, invade the intestinal wall, and migrate to the striated muscles, where they develop into
cysticerci. A cysticercus can survive for several years in the animal. Humans become infected by ingesting raw or undercooked
infected meat 4. In the human intestine, the cysticercus develops over 2 months into an adult tapeworm, which can
survive for years. The adult tapeworms attach to the small intestine by their scolex 5 and reside in the small intestine 6. Length of adult worms is usually 5 m or less for T. saginata (however it may reach up to
25 m) and 2 to 7 m for T. solium. The adults produce proglottids which mature, become gravid, detach from the tapeworm, and
migrate to the anus or are passed in the stool (approximately 6 per day). T. saginata adults usually have 1,000 to 2,000
proglottids, while T. solium adults have an average of 1,000 proglottids. The eggs contained in the gravid proglottids are
released after the proglottids are passed with the feces. T. saginata may produce up to 100,000 and T. solium may
produce 50,000 eggs per proglottid respectively.

Information regarding; allergies, medication, lactating and pregnant women.
Allergies are frequently related to toxicity in the body. If someone has serious constipation or infection with parasites, allergies will frequently begin to develop in the body. Anyone with an allergic tendency should read the ingredients on the label of Harmony, Experience and Clear and acknowledge any known allergies to any of the ingredients. If you are not sure, you may want to consult your allergist or physician. Many people who initially have a negative reaction to an ingredient in Harmony, find that after a number of months on Experience digestive cleanse, they can take Harmony with no reaction at all. Cleansing the body of parasites and auto-detoxification frequently decreases or eliminates allergic tendencies. NOTE: Check with your doctor or health practitioner for approval before you use ANY product to which you may be allergic to.
