Homeopathy treatment for Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB), which is caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, is one of the oldest diseases known to affect humans. 

Tuberculosis (TB), which is caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, is one of the oldest diseases known to affect humans. 

 

 

 

Causes

  • The most common and important agent of human disease is M. tuberculosis.

Complex includes i.e.:

  1. M. bovis
  2. M. caprae
  3. M. africanum
  4. M. microti
  5. M. Pinni pedii

  • Tuberculosis is a rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, thin aerobic bacterium measuring 0.5 μm by 3 μm.

  • Another molecule in the mycobacterial cell wall, lipoarabinomannan, is involved in the pathogen–host interaction and facilitates the survival of M. tuberculosis within macrophages.

Types

 Firstly, Pulmonary TB

  • Pulmonary TB is conventionally categorized as primary or post primary (adult-type, secondary). pulmonary TB result from recent infection (either primary infection or reinfection) and not from reactivation.

2. Secondly, Extrapulmonary TB

  • In order of frequency, the extrapulmonary sites most commonly involved in TB are the lymph nodes, pleura, genitourinary tract, bones and joints, meninges, peritoneum, and pericardium. However, virtually all organ systems may be affected.

Lymph Node TB (in other words, Tuberculous Lymphadenitis)

  • The most common presentation of extrapulmonary TB in both HIV-seronegative and HIV-infected patients (35% of cases worldwide and more than 40% of cases in the United States in recent series)
  • Once caused mainly by M. bovis, tuberculous lymphadenitis today is due largely to M. tuberculosis. Lymph node TB presents as painless swelling of the lymph nodes, most commonly at posterior cervical also supraclavicular sites (a condition historically referred to as scrofula).

TB of the Upper Airways

  • Nearly always a complication of advanced cavitary pulmonary TB, TB of the upper airways may involve the larynx, pharynx, and epiglottis.
  • Moreover, Symptoms include hoarseness, dysphonia, and dysphagia in addition to chronic productive cough. Findings depend on the site of involvement, and ulcerations may be seen on laryngoscopy.

Genitourinary TB

  • Local symptoms predominate, and up to 75% of patients have chest radiographic abnormalities suggesting previous or concomitant pulmonary disease.
  • Urinary frequency, dysuria, nocturia, haematuria, and flank or abdominal pain are common presentations. However, patients may be asymptomatic and their disease discovered only after severe destructive lesions of the kidneys have developed.

Skeletal TB

  • In the United States, TB of the bones also joints is responsible for ~10% of extrapulmonary cases.
  • In bone and joint disease, pathogenesis is related to reactivation of hematogenous foci or to spread from adjacent paravertebral lymph nodes.
  • Weight-bearing joints (the spine in 40% of cases, the hips in 13%, and the knees in 10%) are most commonly affected.

Signs and Symptoms of Tuberculosis (TB)

Tuberculosis (TB) primarily affects the lungs (pulmonary TB), but it can also affect other parts of the body (extrapulmonary TB). The symptoms can vary depending on the type of TB and how advanced the infection is. TB symptoms usually develop gradually and can resemble those of other respiratory illnesses, but they persist for longer periods.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Lung TB):

  1. Persistent Cough:

    • A cough lasting more than 3 weeks that may be dry or produce mucus (sometimes with blood). This is one of the hallmark symptoms of TB.

  2. Chest Pain:

    • Pain in the chest, especially when coughing or breathing deeply, can be a sign of lung involvement.

  3. Coughing Up Blood (Hemoptysis):

    • In more advanced stages, individuals with TB may cough up blood or blood-streaked mucus.

  4. Fever:

    • A low-grade fever that often worsens in the evenings or at night is a common symptom.

  5. Night Sweats:

    • Excessive sweating at night, sometimes to the point of soaking clothes and sheets, is a classic symptom.

  6. Fatigue and Weakness:

    • Persistent fatigue, feeling weak, and tired without any apparent reason, is common with TB.

  7. Weight Loss:

    • Unexplained weight loss, often coupled with poor appetite, is a frequent symptom of TB.

  8. Loss of Appetite:

    • Many individuals with TB experience a significant loss of appetite, contributing to weight loss.

  9. Shortness of Breath:

    • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, particularly in advanced stages when the lungs are affected more severely.

What to Eat for Tuberculosis:

  1. High-Protein Foods:

    • Lean meats: Chicken, turkey, and lean cuts of beef or pork provide a good source of protein for healing and immune support.

    • Fish: Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation.

    • Eggs: Rich in protein, healthy fats, and vitamins, eggs are great for boosting your immune system.

    • Dairy: Milk, yogurt, and cheese provide protein and calcium, which is vital for maintaining bone health, especially if TB has affected the bones.

  2. Fruits and Vegetables:

    • Leafy greens: Vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli are high in vitamins (especially vitamin C and vitamin A) and minerals that boost immune function and reduce inflammation.

    • Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are antioxidant-rich, helping reduce oxidative stress and support overall health.

    • Carrots and sweet potatoes: These vegetables are rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A), which supports immune health and skin repair.

  • Processed foods: Foods high in salt, sugars, and unhealthy fats should be avoided, as they can lead to inflammation and immune suppression.

  • Spicy and acidic foods: Foods that are too spicy or acidic can irritate the stomach, especially when TB medications are involved.

Regimen for Tuberculosis (TB):

  1. Medication Adherence:

    • Strict adherence to prescribed TB medication: TB treatment often involves a combination of medications for 6-9 months. Always take the full course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Do not stop or adjust medication without consulting your doctor.

    • Monitor side effects: Keep track of any side effects from TB medications and inform your doctor. Some medications may cause nausea, liver issues, or other symptoms.

  2. Rest and Sleep:

    • Adequate rest: Getting enough sleep (7-9 hours) is essential to allow the body to recover and fight the infection.

    • Avoid overexertion: TB can make you feel fatigued, so it’s important to rest and avoid strenuous physical activities.

  3. Exercise and Physical Activity:

    • Light exercise: Once you start feeling better, engage in light physical activities, like walking or yoga, to boost your energy levels and improve overall health.

    • Breathing exercises: These can help improve lung function and reduce respiratory issues caused by TB.

  4. Daily Routine:

    • Eat small, frequent meals: TB can reduce appetite, so eating smaller meals throughout the day ensures that you’re getting enough nutrients.

    • Take supplements if needed: If you have nutrient deficiencies (e.g., vitamin D, iron, or zinc), consider taking supplements as prescribed by your doctor.

    • Avoid crowded places: TB is contagious, so avoid public places until you’ve completed an adequate period of treatment and are no longer infectious (usually a few weeks after starting treatment).

    • Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and cover your mouth when coughing to prevent the spread of TB.

  5. Mental Health and Emotional Support:

    • Managing stress: TB treatment can be long and difficult, so it’s essential to find ways to manage stress, such as through meditation, journaling, or talking with a counselor.

    • Support groups: Joining a TB support group or talking to others who have had TB can provide emotional support and encourage positive mental health during treatment.
