Tuberculosis is so serious, and so contagious, that it should be hit with all the big guns! Please do not walk around with TB (you or anyone else) that is not properly treated---you can infect others, plus one side effect of poorly treated TB is DEATH. Now, you can make your body as healthy as possible with diet, exercise, and supplements such as oregano and garlic (a fabulous natural antibiotic), however, in a disease this serious, the patient MUST take the "mainstream" medication for the benefit of the patient and the rest of us!!!

Hopefully you or someone you know with this condition have gone and been diagnosed by a physician. To answer your question yes there is. Collodial Silver go to any healthfood store and ask for it. It's a natural and safe antibiotic. Also, I hear that Olive Leaf Extract and Black Seed Oil... all of these can be purchased online or your nearest Health Food store. Use your judegment on this as TB is a very serious illness. Good Luck

your doctor should know

WOW, please do NOT listen to any advice about TB and buying over the counter medicines/herbs/vitamins. That's moronic to say the least. This is a LETHAL disease. It can kill you and your loved ones that are near you, and innocent people you come in contact with. It's so serious that actually ALL cases of TB are required by LAW to be reported to the local and state health departments. TB patients need to be on multiple antibiotics due to the ease with which TB mutates and becomes antibiotic resistant. These antibiotics include : pyrazinamide, isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol. please please please go see your doctor

well mostly only people who don't seek treatment for it die, and there is no set of time, this can be an on going condition till your body can no longer function.
2 :
TB is not necessarily a "death sentence". Recovery can be achieved using TB antibiotics and other TB meds. Depending on the type of TB infection you have, your state of health prior to infection,and location in the body etc. Take care. SW FNP
3 :
Hi. TB does not really kill unless you dont seek treatment for it. It easily treated and can completely be cured. Therefore there is no specified time for the death of the person suffering from TB. But if someone has an active disease and they dont seek treatment, they might die in a short period because the disease process collapses the lungs or fills the lungs with pleural effusion so the person finds it harder to breath everyday until they suffocate from the effusion. This can take some time or a very short period.
4 :
This may be why one gets it,how long it takes may really depend or the persons health as with any disease/health issue.We are all different & our body's respond differently too.

No, it is not. It is spread by contact.

Can Tuberculosis be passed down through heredity? No tuberculosis is NOT hereditary. That is a common myth. Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by germs that are spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. A person with TB can die if they do not get treatment.
3 :
TB is an airborne disease. You can catch it through someone breathing on you, that has it. It is not hereditary.
4 :
No. TB is a respiratory disease acquired by inhaling the microbacterium tuberculi. To identify whether or not you have been exposed to someone with TB, you would have to get a PPD skin test performed. If it is positive, if just means you've been exposed, it does not necessarily mean you have the TB infection
