Is there a drug-free way to get rid of tuberculosis

Is there a drug-free way to get rid of tuberculosis?
I had a TB test two days ago and I think it's positive (Red, itchy, swollen, bump, hard like a mosquito bite the size of a dollar coin). I go back to the hospital next week for my second test.. Is there a drug-free way to treat tuberculosis? ex. many cancer patients were cured by becoming raw foodists.

Tuberculosis only attacks when the body immunity goes down because of some other reasons. Asthma usually doesn't cause body resistance to fall to such lower levels that tuberculosis can attack.
2 :
Simple answer, no. One has nothing to do with the other. But if they are exposed to someone with TB of course they can get just like anyone else.
3 :
your answer is in the site i mentioned in my sources
4 :
Not necessarily, people with asthma or other chronic lung diseases may be more susceptible to respiratory infections, especially if they are taking oral steroids. Furthermore, the course of the infection may be more severe. Now, tuberculosis is a highly contagious infection that may affect anyone who comes into contact with an individual who has an active case of tuberculosis. If this is the case, you need to have a TB test. If positive, you may need prophylaxis (preventive therapy

rifampicin-600 mg ---> standard dose is 600 mg for all ages isonaizid-300 mg ---> standard dose for adults 300 mg pyrazinamide-1600 mg ----> dose range by weight 1330 to 2500 mg ethambutol-1100mg ---> dose by lean body weight is 1300 to 2500 ... if you are heavy for your body frame ... this is probably a good dose

If this is what your doctor prescribed, then yes.
2 :
the doses that i remember are isoniazid 300mg rifampicin 600mg ethambutol 15-25mg/kg body weight and pyrazinamaide 20mg/kg body weight so i think the doses are okay.....the reason ethambutol dose is a bit low is that in higher doses it can cause serious side effects and as you decrease the dose its chances also decrease

1 :
You may have TB and further testing is needed. Or it could be you had a reaction to the serum used. You'll only feel at ease after they properly look at the test spot. Should you have TB, you will no doubt be isolated and started on the drugs needed to treat it. Don't know if they still put people in a state hospital or not with TB anymore. Use to. Ron
2 :
depends......If it started itching within 24 hours of inoculation it is secondary to hypersensitivity to the PPD and this should not be interpreted as positive reactivity. Test for TB is usually interpreted within 48-72hrs. They are not itchy!!!!
3 :
you either have tb or have been exposed it

What are the possible results after a tuberculosis shot

What are the possible results after a tuberculosis shot?
How do you know if you have TB or not (positive or negative)? What is suppose to happen? The other day I took a TB shot, and after 3 days, I went to the doctor. She told me I am negative for TB; however, after 10 days I still have a red mark lingering on my arm. What does this mean?

of course it will be a little red, it was an injection. however if it's raised at all. it's positive. i'm sure your doctor knows what he/she is talking about, they do it for a living, but if you're having second thoughts go back in and ask them to re ad it again
