“Yes! We can end TB!” is the theme for World Tuberculosis Day, which will be observed on
Friday 24th March 2023.
This year’s event will be the platform used to stir confidence, boost high-level leadership, and increase investments along with faster uptake of new World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations as well as the adoption of inventions, speedy actions, and a multi-sectorial collaboration to fight the tuberculosis epidemic.
The annual date in March corresponds with the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced he had discovered the bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis which causes the disease.
That information was then used to pave the way toward diagnosis and treatment.
Tuberculosis or TB is a severe infectious disease that generally affects the lungs but can move to other areas of the body as well, inclusive of the kidneys, spine, and brain.
It can spread from person to person by tiny droplets which are released into the air when someone coughs and sneezes.
Though your body may be a facilitator of the bacteria that causes TB, a healthy immune system can stop you from becoming sick. Signs and symptoms will vary depending on which organs are affected. For example, if it is the spine, a person may experience back pains, or when the infection is in the kidneys, blood can appear in the urine.
The focus for 2023 will be to influence countries to act hastily in achieving progress ahead of the United Nations High-Level Meeting on TB.
The WHO is expected to issue a call to action with partners by encouraging member states to hasten the rollout of the new WHO-
recommended shorter all oral treatment regiments for drug-resistant tuberculosis.
TB was once quite uncommon in developed countries but with the emergence of HIV/AIDS,
the United States experienced an increase in cases from 1985. However, due to tougher
measures and control, there has been a decrease as of 1993.
There are two types of TB: latent and active TB. When there is a TB infection but the bacteria in your body is not active, this does not cause no symptoms, and is not contagious. This is called latent TB.
Nonetheless, if not treated, it can become active.
Active TB refers to TB disease which makes you sick. In most cases, it can spread to others, which can happen weeks and up to years after infection. After this, the signs may be apparent.
Common signs include a chronic cough which can last for several weeks, coughing up blood or mucus, and chest pains or pain when breathing or coughing. Other signs include unintentional weight loss, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, chills, and night sweats.
The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) recommends that individuals who are at increased risk of contracting TB be screened for latent TB infection. This includes persons living with HIV, using IV drugs, persons in contact with infected persons, and persons living andworking in countries where the disease is common.
There have not been any confirmed cases of tuberculosis In Antigua and Barbuda in recent
years but should any emerge, there are advanced treatments in antibiotic medications that are
adequate to treat the disease.

Yes, now that they have given people VIAIDS (vaccine induced AIDS) from the mRNA gene therapy💉 they are telling you about TB and other latent bacteria/viruses that people are carriers of. The reason they are/were LATENT is because a proper functioning immune system kept them at bay; but since they have destroyed peoples immune systems, these once latent pathogens can/will rise up and start to cause problems. The WHO knows that it’s coming.
However, don’t underestimate the power of nature; or the bodies ability to heal itself even if you’re a gene therapy recipient. Flood your body with vitamin C, take a dose every hour until you reach bowel tolerance (ie until you get the runs) then cut back to whatever the dose was before the runs and stay there. Get plenty 🌞🌞🌞. Drinks lots of water with some lime or lime juice. Sunlight energizes and structures water, so exposed your drinking water to sunlight. Take black seed oil or buy the seed which is cheaper, crush them and make tea — drink it like you would drink water. Black seeds were found in King Tut’s tomb (things he needed for the afterlife).
There’s an old adage that says black seeds can cure anything except death. Make turmeric tea and cook with turmeric. Take a good form of Omega 3 fatty acids. Take a good food grade multivitamin, your body can recognize, not synthetic ones ie centrum.
Cut pro inflammatory foods from your diet…such as sugar, dairy, gmo wheat, gmo corn, processed foods
junk foods, seeds oils (ie soy, corn, canola etc)
Eat as clean and fresh as possible. And exercise daily even if it’s just a brisk walk.
Take charge of your health!
Wow..
Good advise
Yes, more drugs for a drug resistant disease.
Tuberculous
