HOW TO PREVENT OURSELVES FROM GETTING TB

* The tuberculosis vaccine, known as bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) may prevent the spread of tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in children, but the vaccine does not necessarily protect against pulmonary tuberculosis. It can, however, result in a false-positive tuberculin skin test that in many cases can be differentiated by the use of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test

* It is extremely important to isolate patients suffering from tuberculosis and treat them effectively until the chances of them spreading the disease become negligible.

* At healthcare facilities, hospitals, and other treatment centers, certain standard ventilation and air purification / filtration mechanisms are followed in an attempt to curb tuberculosis from spreading further.


* Family and friends who were in close contact with patients diagnosed with tuberculosis are recommended to exercise additional caution. Conventional medicine may advise the use of antibiotics as a preventive measure toward how to prevent tuberculosis. We do not, but such persons should work towards keeping their immune systems strong; they could also use herbal antibiotics, such as garlic.

* In an attempt to minimize the risk of spreading tuberculosis and getting infected by the same, one must meet and interact with tuberculosis patients only after at least two weeks of treatment.

* Nurses, physicians, other healthcare staff, family, and friends of patients might be advised to wear a microfiltration mask while interacting with patients suffering from tuberculosis mainly to protect themselves from catching the infection.

* People suffering from persistent cough should try and avoid close interaction with people until they have been tested for TB, and others might want to maintain a safe distance from people with persistent coughs because there is a possibility of catching the infection.

* Advise people who have a persistent cough to eat well and get exposure to morning sunlight. If the cough continues beyond three weeks and shows no signs of decreasing; it is best to consult a physician.

* When in contact with patients suffering from tuberculosis or people with persistent coughs, it is advisable to wash your hands periodically with a disinfectant and warm water.

* While traveling to countries where tuberculosis is not completely eradicated, conventional medicine might advise one to get vaccinated. We in natural health and healing do not support vaccinations. Instead, we advocate keeping the body and its immune system well and strong. We also use herbal antibiotics, such as garlic. Do not underestimate garlic and other herbs – they are potent!

* Above all, as mentioned already a few times, it is best to concentrate on building immunity, staying healthy, eating well, and exercising regularly to prevent getting infected by tuberculosis or any other disease condition. This is, by far, the best way toward how to prevent tuberculosis.


If sign and symptoms of TB occur. see your doctor immediately and follow his prescription .
