Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is the most common major infectious disease today, infecting two billion people or one-third of the world's population, with nine million new cases of active disease every year.
Tuberculosis most commonly affects the lungs, where it is called pulmonary TB. But it can also affect the central nervous system, lymphatic system, circulatory system, genitourinary system and bones and joints.
Most of those infected (90 percent) have asymptomatic latent TB infection (LTBI). There is a 10 percent lifetime chance that LTBI will progress to active TB disease which, if left untreated, will kill more than 50 percent of its victims.
We particularly recommend the addition of
Plant Sterols and Sterolins to the diet. Sterols and Sterolins have been found in clinical trials in South Africa, to be of great benefit to sufferers of Tuberculosis.
To help gain weight (see also
Dietary Guidelines for a wonderful healing diet) take a piece of raw garlic the size of a cigarette filter and slice finely, swallow with half a cup of warm water after every meal, keep this up for months or longer, this will improve the assimilation of foods.
Digestive Enzymes should be taken if you are eating cooked food.
Primebiotic also improves assimilation of food and putting on weight when required.
Two recent studies have linked vitamin D to the successful prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. In the first study, it was determined that vitamin D is essential to the molecular mechanism that the body employs to fight tuberculosis. White blood cells convert vitamin D into an active form that helps make a protein that kills tuberculosis bacteria. In the second study, Indonesian scientists compared the effect of vitamin D versus a placebo on 70 tuberculosis patients for around nine months. Treating tuberculosis patients with 10,000 units of vitamin D daily versus the much smaller amount (400 units) usually advocated by conventional medicine led to a 100 percent cure rate. More info on these studies can be found at the following links;

Vitamin D is produced, in large part, by exposure to sunlight and then converts into an active form that is used to make a protein that kills the tuberculosis bacteria. Sunlight contains a complex mixture of visible and non-visible radiation that is good for us. All we have to do is to practice safe sunbathing by not getting burnt. This is basically achieved by sunbathing only in the period of up to two hours after sunrise or up to two hours before sunset when the UV factor is low. (At high altitude, possibly only one hour window after sunrise and prior to sun set may be safe). Tragically, using sun-screen creams can have adverse effects on our health, as the creams break down in the sun and form toxic chemicals that in themselves can encourage the development of cancer. The skin is an absorbent organ of the body, do not apply any chemicals to the skin if you wish to optimize your chance of recovery and do not block sweat with underarm applicators. Possibly the only safe oil to apply to the body is coconut oil. If you wish to take healing with the sun a stage further we suggest you look at the information on safe sungazing practice at www.solarhealing.com, this is wonderful, effective therapy for the whole body.
Our
Capra Mineral Whey Powder contains Vitamin D3 450iu Boron amino acid chelate, elemental weight of Boron 10mg, although we do not generally recommend isolated, synthetic vitamin supplements, in cases of Tuberculosis, it may, based on these studies, be helpful to supplement with additional amounts of Vitamin D. The Capra Whey however provides some Vitamin D in a balanced form and contains more than 20 naturally occurring minerals in a highly complex whole food form which our bodies recognize and utilize with ease, a highly concentrated, alkaline, mineral food, so has many additional health benefits.
These following natural remedies for Tuberculosis will speed the healing process when combined with the Auto Immune therapeutic protocol.
Olive Leaf Extract - Broad spectrum anti-viral/anti bacterial, very potent, with anti-oxidant effects
Colloidal Silver - A gentle approach, broad spectrum, can help eliminate infections known and unknown.
We also recommend the use of
Primebiotic - a quality broad spectrum pro-biotic and superfood.
There are many silica and silicon supplements on the market, but we believe that the
Organic Silicon G5 is unique in its therapeutic ability to replenish the system with sufficient silicon to allow the body to accomplish its own healing.
Barley Grass Juice Powder is a whole food that keeps us healthy contains many anti-oxidants and protective factors. One to two dessertspoons a day of this mixed into water or sheep’s or goat’s milk (do not heat above blood heat as it contains live enzymes) will provide a broad range of low carbohydrate nutrients to provide valuable nutritional support.
