[@golamsadman1705]

I was infected by TB when I was 12. I had this mild fever all the time along with cough. When I started coughing out blood they couldn't diagnose it. They thought it was pneumonia and gave me regular antibiotics. I stopped coughing blood but this was still inside me. I was getting weaker every day. After 1 year just when my body was about to give up, I was diagnosed with TB. Went through a treatment of 9 months. The side effects are pretty bad. 1 medicine made my urine red. Another gave me a puke feeling after taking it. So, people give this disease some respect.

[@totskitv6883]

Tb has no symptom?

[@riran6636]

Same man. But my diagnosis was honestly ridiculous. TB wasn't in the lungs and they were still dormant, kinda like primary complex. A year later I got incredibly weak with little to no symptoms like very mild fever in the morning and especially in afternoons. They made me take the medication for 10 months but nothing much happened, only got clinical depression and a still enlarged lymph node. To this day, I still don't really know what this is but I'm still so scared of being diagnosed with something else because of those ten months. Glad you got better though...

[@vincent5880]

Hi, in an article published in "The New York medical journal" in 1912, Dr Charles Duncan desdribes how to prepare the vaccine for TB using your own saliva. He also describes it in his a self published book titled "AUTOTHERAPY". I also describe it in my book UROPATHY, The Most Powerful Holistic Therapy. In a small glass bottle half cc of Saliva is diluted in 50 cc of distilled water or water boiled for 20 minutes and shaken vigorously for 5 minutes, let it rest and repeat a second time. Then push 10 cc of the filtrate through a 10 or 15 microme filter, similar to those attached to IV hoses, what comes through is the vaccine and it should be applied subcutaneously in an area where the skin is healthy. Obviously, this remedy is not popular because there is no money for the pharmaceutical industry in it.

I got mantouks test and it turns negative but my doctor still gives me tb medicine which is harsh on me ended up being paralyzed from side effect i still worry i have tb but even the 2nd test is negative turns out its automimmune thats causes symptoms similiar to tb i had all symptoms except only no coughing blood

[@morganstone8600]

I had tb in 2009 and it was awful. I was quarantined for 3 weeks, had to take 4 different antibiotics at 4 times per day, and I also had to have 2 biopsies on the flesh surrounding the tb germs that were in my lungs. It was probably the most miserable, painful thing that I've ever experienced. I still have to have a chest xray every 6 months that the city health department pay for so they can make sure that my tb is still dormant.

My paternal grandmother died of TB when I was only 3 or 4 years old. I can still vividly remember my father taking me into a small wood-paneled room under what seemed to be a staircase. The room was cramped and lined with bookshelves... my father told me not to tell my mother, and I never did until he died in 2010... I can clearly remember my father introducing me to his mother, for what would be the last time we ever saw eachother. My grandma Jackie used to go for walks with me as a toddler. She was a big part of my life, until she became ill... My last and only memory is of her telling me; "I'm not going to get to see you anymore..." I remember getting emotional and trying to reason with her. My father let me stay long enough to say goodbye, and then we left... I was so young, they apparently didn't feel comfortable taking me to her funeral. Years later, after my father's death; my mother mentioned my grandma Jackie in passing... I mentioned that I spoke to her as a child, shortly before her death from tuberculosis. She was shocked and angry at my Dad for allowing me into a confined space with someone dying of tuberculosis... I shrugged my mom off at the time, but looking back; I don't think I would have made the same choice as my father made. Families want nothing more than to share their love and say goodbye at the end of life. There's nothing more sad than not being allowed to do that...

I live in Belgium and I had TB when I was 19. I live on a farm and I had probably contracted it as a child. 2015 saw a mayor outbreak among farm cattle and the farm where I live on was ordered to have all its animals killed, including our two dogs and 3 cats. Me and my parents needed to get tested and they found out I had TB and was in fact already sick even. The disease starts very slowly and no one will guess it is TB anymore because it is so rare in the richer countries. I was lucky, because had they not figured it out at that time, I would possibly have gotten way way sicker until maybe I would have died of it. On the medicines: you have to take very strong antibiotics for 9 months, which have indeed a lot of side effects. I experienced constant fatigue and my urine was red for 3/4 of a year (not even joking). It seems almost insane that a disease which still so many people suffer has medication that is so dated and no improvements have been made since. Better medication really is needed.

I was a patient with TB and it took me 2 months for the medication. Yup, not 6 or 9 months. I was participating in a medical research about TB. There is a team consists of doctors in some countries who are developing some new compositions of pills for patient with TB to decrease the length of medication treatment. For me, the new pills composition worked. Hopefully, the research will be successful and bring new impact to the world. If u think u got TB symptoms, go to the doctor immediately. TB is a chronic desease. It can be deadly if u r late treated and not consuming the pills regularly. Just don't do that and u'll be okay ❤️

That's great to hear, congratulations 😊. You are completely right about the importance of sticking to the treatment regiment.

[@pastelladium1952]

@@electronresonator8882 Firstly, I did watch the video and get the point about medical conditions Secondly, Macrophages are normally able to digest bacteria with reactive oxygen species However, tuberculosis bacterium has a thick, waxy mycolic acid capsule that protects it from these toxic substances. Therefore tuberculosis is able to reproduce inside the macrophage and will eventually kill the immune cell. Resulting in latent or active, tuberculosis. (Active symptomatic tb is when the macrophage become incapable of containing the bacteria) so in a way, im not wrong. Disappointed that Ted Ed did not talk about this... I recommend you read up more about TB, the pathology is different from many other bacteria

[@tteottaninguiayami]

@@pastelladium1952 You're right. Also the fact that they didn't mention the characteristic feature of TB to cause granulomas in the infected tissues and the fact that large parts of the damage are caused by the type 4 Hypersensitivity reaction to the bacteria.

I moved to Asheville, North Carolina last year at the beginning of the shut downs. I was hired to work at a bed and breakfast a few months later, and my god have I learned a lot! The house was built in 1889, the entire neighborhood is a historic district. Little did I know how historic... Two blocks away from my job is the house where the 1st TB vaccine was discovered. Many of the houses where built and designed to treat patients with TB, these rooms with huge windows are called solariums... before they had a vaccine, they treated patients with sunlight and fresh mountain air. Asheville became internationally recognized as a place of wellness with an optimal climate to remove illness... and it just boggles my mind to learn that TB is so eerily similar to Covid... of ALL the places I could have chosen to move to at random during a pandemic, I don't think I could have chosen better... what are the odds?

Hello dear friend, in an article published in "The New York medical journal" in 1912, Doctor Charles Duncan describes how to prepare the vaccine for TB using the patient’s own saliva. He also describes it in his a self-published book titled "AUTOTHERAPY". I describe it in my book UROPATHY, The Most Powerful Holistic Therapy. In a small glass bottle half cc of Saliva is diluted in 50 cc of distilled water or water boiled for 20 minutes and shaken vigorously for 5 minutes, let it rest and repeat a second time. Then push 10 cc of the filtrate through a 10 or 15 micron filter, similar to those attached to IV hoses, what comes through is the vaccine and it should be applied subcutaneously in an area where the skin is healthy. Obviously, this remedy is not popular because there is no money for the pharmaceutical industry in it. Salting your food to taste and adding a pinch of good salt to 250 ml of water or tea is also a great way to boost immune system.

[@adriancanda5519]

I also used to have TB last year, 2021. It was pretty awful dealing with bony aches in my back and ribs everytime I wokeup from sleep. Hard to breathe. Constant coughing is really frustating (tho I never coughed a blood which I think is lucky on my side) plus the side effects of the drugs that takes toll on your body. Luckily, I finished the treatment and considered healed. Even the treatment is done, it will take.months for your body to fully recovered. TB left me a trauma. Ever since that day, I always wear a mask even at home whenever I see someone coughing. I only remove my mask whenever I will eat or take a shower. When I do eat, I always distance myself on a place where a coughing happened. It becomes a habit of mine to spray hand alcohol in our house "to sanitize" the air. I even get angry at someone when they cough without something to cover on their mouth. If not for the treatment, I may be dead on this day.

Something Im surprised wasn't mentioned was just how hardy TB actually is. It's a remarkably slow reproducing bacteria (and in turn a slow mutator) but it also is very difficult to kill (hence the long treatment times). Once a TB cell survives a treatment, it almost always adapts to become resistant. TB was almost eradicated and its making a ever increasing comeback right now. It's a big concern

That is true Luis Grados, there is a natural product capable of boosting the strength of your immune system to its maximum level and that is common salt, the type that has not been processed in anyway other than what is required to package it. Avoid table salt, the fine, pure white stuff that flows like dust from the salt shaker. Salt your foods to taste and add a pinch of salt to the water or tea you drink. Salt kills the microbes that cause diseases but salt does not harm the benign protective microbes that keep you healthy. The only problem with good salt is that it has received a bad reputation from the people that benefit from sick people therefore they tell you that salt is bad for your health.

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

My brother and I both tested positive. I was in 3rd grade so my brother must have been in kindergarten. We were the only kids in our school to test positive. They were never able to find out who exposed us. We had to take the year of pills so now, apparently we're immune. Every time a nurse tries to test us for TB (some jobs require it), it's a big fight until the doctor shows up. Every re-test will not only show a positive result, but the result with be worse to the point you can die of anaphylactic shock. Getting tested again is bad once you've cured it since obviously you already have the antibodies to TB so yes, you'll have a reaction so there's no need to test. What we have to do at that point is get a quick chest X-ray to show that we don't have active TB.

I just have to take the treatment every day. I have 2 more months more to go. For the treatment, I take rifampin , ethambutol and moxifloxaxin( because my tb resistant to izoniazid) but everything is good as I have no symptoms anymore and the x-ray shows that my lungs are recovered.
