Tuberculosis
Overview

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is an infection of the lungs that can also occur in other areas of the body. TB can be either acute (short-lived) or chronic and can occur in childhood or adulthood.
TB most commonly affects the lungs and is often present without symptoms until the lung lesions, in which the TB bacteria is growing, become large enough to create problems or be seen on X-ray. The earliest symptoms of TB are usually coughing and flu-like symptoms. Other symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, decreased appetite, fever, sweats (especially at night), and weight loss. Complications can also occur. These include fluid collection between the lung and the chest wall (plural effusion), collecting air in the same space (pneumothorax), or even death.
Note: TB symptoms sometimes do not occur for up to two years following infection, and the speed of the symptoms varies widely from individual to individual.
Types
There are two types of TB: pulmonary tuberculosis, which occurs in the lungs; and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which affects other areas of the body.
TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB causes 1,800 deaths per year and 20,000 new cases are reported annually. The primary risk groups are older African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. Also at greater risk are people with illnesses that decrease immune function, such as alcoholics, malnutrition, diabetics, and people who are HIV positive.
Caution: Drugs that act as immune suppressants, such as corticosteroids, can re-trigger tuberculosis.

Eat an organic, whole foods diet that emphasizes raw vegetables and pure filtered water. Pears, pear juice, and pear sauce can also be helpful, as pears can help hasten healing of the lungs. Other helpful foods include fenugreek and alfalfa sprouts, garlic, pomegranate, and all forms of fermented milk such as yogurt and kefir.
It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:
- Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
- Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
- Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
