Need your opinion and guidance in connection with Tuberculosis of the lungs. Around 79 yrs old man has been diagnosed with TB of the lungs and during the CT Scan of the chest also found fluid in the lungs. Reading under Tuberculosis garlic oil is suggested, but is not clear whether it is to be taken internally or it is to be rubbed on the chest. Also can DMSO and Lugol iodine be of any help or any other protocol you would like to suggest. Thanks

We have used garlic oil on the chest for lung infections with great success. I am guessing when garlic oil is suggested, it is to be used on the chest. We use it all over the back and chest, over the lung area, several times a day. Adding a drop of oregano essential oil to each teaspoon of the garlic oil will give a bit of extra fight to the infection. This treatment stinks but works very well.
That said, if the man can tolerate garlic, 1/2 clove crushed garlic taken internally 4 times a day could be done in addition. We find that effective for infections as well.
I have read that high doses of vitamin C are effective against tuberculosis.
Let me know if you need a garlic oil recipe.

With any infection that gets into the lungs or bronchial passages, I have used DMSO mixed with anti viral/ bacterial substances such as Echinacea, Tea Tree oil and especially colloidal silver. I mix them 50/50 and apply topically. The idea is that the DMSO is a solvent and carrier. I also have personally experienced great success with a "steamer-inhaler" using colloidal silver, breathing in deeply three times daily for four or five days. Bacterial infections like TB will probably be harder to kill off than a virus. I have never dealt with an infection I knew to be bacterial. I've read a lot on this site about H2O2 but have not used it for infection. If you've been unsuccessful with antibiotics maybe your MD will not overly object if you want to try some home remedies.

I don't know the exact dosage and duration. One can start with one cup of kefir in the morning on empty stomach. Then see the result and adjust dosage.

I say the best choice because there are written records confirming that Kerosene -- yes, ordinary lamp oil -- will cure TB.
All you have to do is read a small book by Dr Charles Oscar Frye called Consumption of the Lungs and Kindred Diseases Cured by Kerosene. This book was written in 1914 by a practicing American doctor who had full faith in using Kerosene to cure TB. So much so that he even wrote a small book -- with testimonials confirming Kerosene as a cure for TB as well as other blood-borne diseases. Gum turpentine is a very close brother to Kerosene and could also be used against TB in the same manner. But I also think that turpentine is perhaps stronger than kerosene.
You would use the Kerosene in a fine mist sprayer(or nebulizer) and spray it into your lungs two or three times a day using a protocol that would be very similar to the hydrogen peroxide inhalation method as promoted by Bill Munro. This method acts to directly kill all TB mycobacteria infecting the lungs. Dr Frye's book, which you can read online, will tell you how to use this method in detail.
From my own research, the terpenoids in the kerosene or turpentine are well known to kill an astonishing assortment of pathogen species -- such as fungus, bacteria and viruses -- also including mycoplasma and mycobacterium (which is the direct cause of TB aka Consumption of the Lungs).
To help you decide what to use for the inhalation -- here is an article by Walter Last on what brands of kerosene or gum turpentine that can be used:
Kerosene - A Universal Healer
From my own experience, beware that turpentine seems to have stronger vapours than kerosene. And if the vapour is too strong, this may induce coughing. I used a very direct inhalation method with turpentine. I put half a teaspoon into my mouth and kept it there. When I tried to breathed in the vapours through my mouth, it was too strong and I coughed and spluttered. It wasn't until I diluted the turpentine in mouth with a little water and gathered some spit that I was finally able to breath it into my lungs without any coughing. Kerosene might perhaps be easier to use as a fine mist spray because the vapours are not so strong as the vapours from gum turpentine.

The pamphlet or book is here, with all instructions and proof, for anyone to read and learn:

I would also recommend that the TB sufferer take at least one teaspoon of pure gum turpentine(from the pine tree) every day for TB. Turpentine, a very close and perhaps stronger cousin of kerosene, is also well known as a cure all and is perhaps the ultimate blood purifier -- kills all viruses, bacteria, fungus, mycolplasma etc in the blood. And turpentine, like kerosene, is harmess with few side-effects other than maybe a Herx die-off. that lasts a short while until the blood is purified.
I've been taking a teaspoon of gum turpentine regularly for about 4 years now. I'm 67 this year and I feel much younger than my years. What's more, as you probably know already, the doctors today have no cure for TB. So you've got nothing to lose by trying these remedies.

Hi Bill, I just wanted to report to you that I started giving Kerosene oil in spray bottle to my sister who has Bronchiectasis which is a sister disease of Tuberculosis, as she was coughing up blood and was very sick, Doctors only gave her antibiotic and an anti-acid which did not help her at all, so when she went to ER again for throwing up blood, again they gave her an antibiotic and an anti-acid, I refused to give her a second course as the Doctor said that there is no infection but give her antibiotic anyway as we have no other treatment for this disease. Anyway, after giving her Kerosene oil spray for 2 weeks, she is feeling much better, now my question is that she is going back home (Pakistan) and there kerosene oil is not available in pure form, so what should she do, only Turpentine oil is available but you said that it's too strong for inhalation, should she use Turpentine oil by diluting it in water for spraying in her throat for inhalation? Please reply, and thank you for the information.

What's the correct dosage for oregano oil and garlic? Thanks.
Replied By Mama To Many (Tn) on 08/22/2018
When I use oregano oil for infection, I buy the ready made gelcaps of it. Then I take it 4x a day for infection. With garlic, I crush one clove if garlic and mix it with honey and take it. I also do this 4x a day. From my prior research I believe that vitamin C is helpful for TB also. The liposomal variety is the most usable by the body.
