Well I can tell you this and it's for real.


On my mission if we felt we weren't doing well, we'd buy a family size coke and after we had fasted for a full 24 hours, we would chug it down.

I had gone almost a year without doing it and so one P-day after fast sunday when I had chugged down an entire 2 liter bottle of coke, I went to the bathroom and eliminated the longest tapeworm I've ever seen.

I started gaining weight again after that .... for most of my mission I had diahrea and looked like skin and bones.

I no longer do cold coffee. (ie... Coke, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew or Pepsi)

(Grace would delete this post over at Nauvoo... remember?)

Oh, gee, thanks there Mahonri... I'm still getting over being sick the past couple days...  

I am soooooooo glad I served a mission in Germany... no parasites.  We just had to deal with the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl...
