[quote:Anonymous Coward 74728734:MV80MjcyNTc0Xzc3ODM5NDI0XzUwQzY5MjBG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 59029940:MV80MjcyNTc0Xzc3ODM3NTYyXzNDRDRFRjNB] Simultaneously there had been tuberculosis epidemics that devasted citizens around the world. They tried everything in America, some cruel treatments, and some odd, and some beneficial. Like in Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, they sent TB patients to live in the caves to see if it helped with treatment. They sent patients to the American west, particularly California. These were called "lungers". Watch the film Tombstone and hear Johnny Ringocall.Doc Holiday a "lunger". [/quote] 1/3 of all people have tuberculosis in latent stage...i am one of them. It means my immune system has it in check. I chose not to go on antibiotics as the antibiotics are very harsh...and the doctor dropped a bomb.. The doctor explained to me that the disease rarely activates in whites, asians, blacks or anybody's genetics that come from the old world..as we have inherited genes having dealt with it for millinia But it is a major threat in Mexico, native Americans, Latinos because the disease is fairly new to them and there immune systems are not as equipped [/quote]
