tuberlosis treatment

Sir, i have found with tuberclosis during 2001. and treatment started as per doctor's advise. but due to improper treatment given by doctor, the health was not improved.

during august 2005 i was with cough and blood and again went to one more doctor. and treated with surgery.

my right upper lobe removed by surgery.and again started the anti tuberclosis treatment for 6 months.

from last one month i have problem with my left side of lung.
when i turn left side in the bed, the cough is coming and large amount of white thick sputum is coming.

also i could not eat well, if i see the food then i do not like.

I request you to please suggest me your views and suggestions.

thanking you,

Tuberculosis is a terrible disease that has been the scourge of mankind. Surgury is often the only option. There is some experimental evidence that taking a drug that lowers cholesterol together with a course of antibiotics will increase the efficacy of the antibiotic. The reason is that the TB organism encapsulates in a waxy sheath that is partially dissolved by the anti-cholesterol drugs. There is no hard statistical double blind evidence to support this protocol, but it makes sense, and there are no significant contradindications. Take your anti-biotics on schedule with grapefruit juice and absolutely positively no alcohol at any time - forever.
