World Tuberculosis Day

World Tuberculosis Day, falls on March 24th each year.  This day is designed to build public awareness that Tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of nearly two million people each year, mostly in developing countries.  Those statics (WHO), are said to increase by the end of 2015, to a staggering 40 million people infected and 8 million Tuberculosis sufferers will die.  Sadly, Tuberculosis is regarded as the highest killer among women living in Africa.  Most of who suffer from HIV as well.

Tuberculosis has been know to mankind since ancient ages.  It was commonly called "consumption"  at the turn of the last century, because of the way the disease seemed to "consume" those affected by it.  Many were labeled or nicknamed-"Lung-ers" due to their Tuberculosis symptoms...pale clammy skin, profuse sweating, severe weakness and coughing up blood.

Spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person.  Tuberculosis is facilitated by several factors, overcrowding living spaces, orphanages, prisons,  and the presences of extreme poverty.  One active TB individual can infect 10-15 people every day.

Tuberculosis is a hundred percent curable disease, if treated in the early stages.  Treatment can take up to nine months, depending on the condition of person's infection and overall health.  Medications are the cornerstone of treatment and antibiotics must be taken for at least six to nine months.  BCG, The TB vaccine has little effect in the treatment of adults, with a slightly better success in children.

However, there are two more major obstacles to decrease the  severity of the disease, as well as limiting its contagion from one person .  Many people either don't have access to needed medications or they don't take the medication properly. Consequently millions die, millions continue to be infected.

The other obstacle is the reality of Tuberculosis effects each individual through the stigma born from ignorance and the lack of information about the disease.  It is often a silent killer, where  people do not want to engage to the  reality of its cause.  Education and acknowledgment is a key component and truly a matter of life and death.

No one should die of Tuberculosis, is the mission of  incredible and dedicated work happening all over the world.  In an effort to reduce the numbers of those infected with this deadly disease.  Tabibu Africa is of those organizations in this call to action.  You too can have a positive effect in the health and welfare of others.

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try.
