Nurse assistant had positive tuberculosis test outcome

Posted By Mary (New York) on 02/05/2011

I am a nurse assistant and last week I did my ppd test wich is positive now. My lungs still clean but I have the bacteria in my blood (think they call dormant or inactive). First year is a 10 porcent posibility to invade my lungs, get sick. The second year is a 5 porcent.

the medication is for 9 months with side effects: diabetes. liver failure or disese, HBP, Hepatitis, kidney problems, conjuntivitis, numbness feet and hands and so on.

I am taking a lot of antioxidant vitamins and thinking about what to do . Take the risk with my life or take the 10 porcent chance and fight the bacteria with suplements. ??? Maybe Ted have some time to replay and give me some ideas, remedies.

What can I do?? really scare, after 35y.o the risk increase am I am 50y.o female with numbness in hands and feed due to neck and lower back problems

Thanks Ted, thanks everybody, thanks EC

Hi Mary,

In 1992 I got TBC in the 'open' form, I have infected most members of my family by whom the bacteria was dormant. I was treated with the 9 months medication and was fine after that. The medication though made me very tired, I had no energy at all (memory loss). All the people I infected got the 'preventative' treatment, among them my brother (who is a medical doctor) and everybody is still fine after 19 years! A few people got an 'allergic' reaction to the bacteria, my sister in low got bumps all over her body and a friend acute pneumonia, but after treatment they also where fine! I am now 47, mother of a 16-year old son and healthy. I have always wondered why so many people are sick and last year I learned about the German New Medicine which is discovered by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer who has a totally different approach/treatment for all diseases. He claims and has proven that before we get ill we must have had an emotional event and the body responds with what we call illness (which really is a survival system of the body). Please check this out yourself. In my case a few emotional events happend about half a year before my TBC was discovered. Dr. Hamer claims that our body uses fungus and especially the TBC bacteria to get rid of the disease. For me it is totally logic, it explains why some people get a reaction and others not after being infected. So if you study his work you will find it a good thing to have the TBC bacteria 'dormant' in your body. On the other hand if you decide to be treated you will be fine also!

Kind regards, CB
