What test to test again ???

Hello All,

I had TB in spleen in 2011 and I had medications for 6 months.
After that I had a lymphnode swollen on my left side collar bone and it got suppressed after 1-2 months.
Till now, I didnt get any symptoms of TB again and my recent full blood test is healthier in WBCs.
Please let me know what test can be taken again to make sure that I dont have TB and the bacteria which was inside my body has died.
I am healthy and my is well maintained above 80kg..

Take the supplements. They are inexpensive. You manufacture D3 primarily through exposure to sunlight on the skin, not through foods. That's why early tb protocols during the 1930's recommended "lots of sunlight".

That was 1,000 mg vitamin C. Some physicians recommend much more.

The famous writer Thomas Wolfe died at age 37 of tuberculosis of the brain. TB is  commonly thought of as a "lung disease", but this is not necessarily so. The bacteria can spread anywhere in the body. There are over 16,000 varieties.

So, if the encapsulation breaks down, which can happen at any time the immune system goes down, the infection may spread.

During the 1920's virtually 100 perdent of health care personnel tested positive for tb, and most lived useful normal lives.

Sunshine, excercise, and good nutrition are essential.

Keep your D3 levels above 30, and a daily vitamin supplement (to include n100 mg C) will help.

You will ALWAYS have tb. The infection in incureable.

The only hope is for remission and to follow the drug protocol precisely without missing a dose of ANY of the medications.

The infection becomes encapsulated and may break out any time in your lifetime if your immune system goes down. And it is not a lung disease, but spreads easily to the brain.
