Are tablets the only way to cure TB?

Yes, there is no proven natural cure for TB. Though good nutrition and a healthy way of life are helpful companions to the prescribed drugs program.

There is evidence that people who are Vitamin D deficient are more vulnerable to developing infections. Taking vitamin D supplements with the recommended TB treatment programme, can help boost the immune system, which aids in fighting illness. Speak to your consultant about supplements if you think you may have a vitamin deficiency.

You need to take the drugs prescribed to you, in order to protect your health and that of the people around you.  TB drug treatment is very successful and is designed to ensure that all TB bacteria is killed off before the course of treatment ends.  Also, those patients who are infectious are usually no longer so within weeks of taking the standard anti-TB drugs.
