Health Advice on Tuberculosis

Bacteria causing tuberculosis die very slowly. It takes several months to kill these bacteria and if the prescribed drugs and medicines are not taken for at least 6 months, then TB bacteria may grow again. But, in your case you have taken the medicines for about 8 months, so you don't need to worry because 6 months are enough to kill these bacteria.

Regarding your diet, you need to avoid foods that contain toxins and infectious substances such as margarine, chlorinated water, refined salt, carcinogen, food additives, refined oils, hydrogenated fats, sugar, sugar cane, baking powder, soft drinks and fried foods.
