No. Tapeworms are considered a disease, and not available for normal use.
In any case, tapeworms do NOT necessarily cause weight loss. In fact, many tapeworms cause weight GAIN, rather than loss. This is because a tapeworm does not "eat" the same thing a human does - it only absorbs certain things from a person's diet. In most cases, a tapeworm absorbs only a small amount of the protein and carbohydrates that a human consumes; rather, it will tend to "eat" many of the critical nutrients that such foods contain (such a important minerals and vitamins). You will most likely end up malnourished from lack of proper foods, not starved for calories (which is what would cause weight loss). So, having a tapeworm inside you is a REALLY STUPID idea for weight loss - it's much more likely to make you sick than let you lose weight.
