Thanks to Monique's post this explains how something like that can happen:

Why the Immune System Can’t “See”
Tapeworm Cysts
The interaction between the immune system and the cysts is quite amazing; it is a great example of how evolution can produce two complementary systems. The immune system is seeking to find and destroy the parasite, while the
parasite is attempting to stay hidden and alive. One way that the cysts are able to “hide” from the immune system is by degrading the antibodies that attach to them. There is some evidence that the antibodies are used as a food source, and that the cysts are able to coax the immune system to make more antibodies. The cysts can even disguise themselves as part of the host’s body by displaying proteins on their surfaces that identify them as part of the host—much as Wile E. Coyote hides from Sam Sheepdog in a herd of sheep by wearing a sheepskin. Finally, the location of the cysts is itself conducive to escaping detection by the immune system. The brain is not easily accessible to the cells of the immune system due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier, and so the
parasites are partially protected from random encounters with the body’s defenders. Only when the immune response is in full swing can the immune cells enter the brain in large numbers.
Besides hiding from the immune system, the
Tapeworm parasites are able to prevent the immune cells from killing them by using several strategies. For instance, the
parasites are able to prevent the complement proteins from attaching to their surfaces. The
Tapeworms can even release molecules that act as decoys, tricking the killer proteins into leaving them alone. The cysts also release other proteins that are able to protect them from being eaten, although how exactly this is accomplished is still unknown. There is some evidence that these proteins are able to prevent phagocytes from accurately targeting the cysts. One of the ways that phagocytes are able to go to the right place in the body during an infection is by following a chemical trail. This trail is produced by other immune cells at the site of infection. Some of the proteins released by the cysts are able to obscure this chemical trail so that the phagocytes become lost on their way to the infection. Cysts are also thought to release a second set of proteins that decreases the activity of new phagocytes. These proteins affect another group of immune cells that control the activity of new phagocytes; these regulatory immune cells then decrease the number of active phagocytes. Finally, a third set of proteins released by the cysts is thought to be able to prevent phagocytes from producing the proteins necessary to kill the cysts.
More on why the need for enzymes:
Systemic Formulas VRM1 is also for tapeworm.
Dr Wheelwright says this about Enzymes, and all of the VRM
parasite killing products also have enzymes in them.

Formulas:

>>>>It used to be believed that digestive enzymes only functioned in the Gastro-Intestinal
(GI) Tract, and that belief was taught for many years. However, it is erroneous.
Beginning with Dr. Edward Howell’s book, Enzyme Nutrition, we now know that the
body conserves some of its precious enzymes by reabsorbing them.
Now, there are numerous studies that show oral administration of trypsin and chymotrypsin
enter the bloodstream and eventually come back to the pancreas for
reuse. Thus, the pancreas is actually involved in a circulatory system just like the
liver/gall bladder recycles bile salts.
The pancreas secrets enzymes into the small intestine. The enzymes do their job
to digest food. Extra enzymes can be reabsorbed. These enzymes can then effect
a beneficial activity in the body such as the reduction of inflammation and the
breakdown of fatty deposits, and then work their way back to the pancreas for
another tour of duty.
Why is this so important? Because here is the basis for the effectiveness of supplementation.
If we provide the ailing body nutritional enzymatic support, then it not
only helps the body accomplish the digestion it needs to accomplish, but it also
gives the pancreas a rest of its enzyme bank and restoration of its function.
****On this positive note of supplementation, let’s look at symptoms of pancreatic
insufficiency and how herbal/enzymatic therapies can have a dramatic impact.
Parasites, Candida and the Pancreas
People who have intestinal parasites, a condition that is considered pandemic in
America and the world) have a pancreas insufficiency! Why? Because the pancreatic
protease enzymes, as they pass through the intestines, help rid the GI Tract of
bacteria, worms, protozoa, candida and fungi.
Now, think about all the millions of dollars that American consumers have spent
buying herbs like green black-walnut, and expensive
parasite cleanse programs,
and building “zappers”, all which have helped many people, but have never gone
back to the root-cause of the problem – a protease pancreatic enzyme insufficiency!
Here the wisdom of Doc Wheelwright shines. It’s why he put the high level of
protease enzymes (bromelain) in the VRM-1 parasite formula along with nature’s
vermin-ridding herbs.
One of the instructions for the VRM1, which is for tapeworms
", avoid eating meat around the time of taking the VRM1. (The enzymes are intended for the parasite, not the diet.)
The information from the place I found online to buy them does not give the full protocal, but you'll notice from the list of herbal ingredients, they may have a few of the "normal" parasite killing herbs, but alot of different ones not normally found in over the counter/online products.

Microbe Detectives is no longer an active forum (unfortunately, she had good research info), but this is also talking about the digestive enzymes/parasites:

>>Most parasites produce anti-trypsin or anti-protease enzymes which our bodies use to pull down the cancer proteins and albumins and their byproducts. The parasites use these anti-protease enzymes as a defence against our digestive enzymes so they can survive in the gut and wherever these enzymes may be encountered. While
we can survive for a long period with these parasites and their effects on our own enzyme system, this condition leads to diminished health, makes us more susceptible to infection, and ultimately cancer. They are also, by disabling our digestive enzymes, disabling the nutrition of the body leading to sub-acute cachexia: starvation of the host, which of course leads to suppressed immune response. The pancreatic enzymes are the first line of defense against many pathogens, parasites, and especially cancer cells. It is important to rid the body of these parasites and their harmful effects on our defense and digestive mechanisms.
