kill tapeworms. Zymex II kills (digests) them. I just bought it for $14.00 for a 30 day supply. Doc Sutter says you should repeat the process two times. I would give you the same advice I'm following...even if you don't know what parasites you have, take it, it's cheap and worth it just in case. If I were in your shoes, I'd take them both (and I am) and call the companies and ask if they could overnight them to you due to your extreme situation.
