Professor thought Dr Mosley's disappearance was an 'experiment'

A Liverpool professor who knew Dr Michael Mosley thought it was an “experiment” when he first went missing.

The 68-year-old, originally from Belfast, told the ECHO: “It was a crazy feeling when I first heard the news. It puts it all into perspective - how an everyday thing such as walking in high temperatures can make such a difference. Mike first met Dr Mosley ten years ago when he deliberately let a two-metre-long tapeworm, from Kenya, live in his gut for months.

Mike, who is now retired, said: “It was interesting because anybody who is a parasitologist wonders what it is like to be infected. Dr Mosley is known for his unconventional medical journalism. He has previously tested “truth serum”, trialled magic mushrooms and undergone the fasting 5:2 diet.
