Tuberculosis or TB is often called the disease-7 in the world that caused the death. Last year, tuberculosis killed 1.8 million people around the world which has increased from previous years. TB is one of the three other diseases (AIDS and malaria) are most closely associated with poverty.
As quoted from the Telegraph, Thursday (7/1/2009) there are some other facts associated with TB.
1. TB-causing bacteria are easily spread in the air. When someone is infected with TB coughs, sneezes or even speaks, they will spread the bacteria.
2. Only a small amount is needed to transmit (transfer) bacteria. Every second, someone could be infected with TB.
3. Bacteria that entered gathered in the lungs and will breed if low immunity. And then spread through the blood vessels or lymph nodes. So many TB cases as bone tuberculosis, TB of the brain while 90 percent were still in lung tuberculosis.
4. Infected patients with TB bacteria usually will have a fever but not so high that lasted a long time especially at night with night sweats.

8. If the TB patient is experiencing Multiple drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) to isoniazid and rifampicin, the two types of the most powerful drugs to overcome tuberculosis, the body resistance will be very fast decrease and can cause death quickly. Almost certainly, 35 to 50 percent of patients with these conditions will die.
Keeping the immune system is key to fighting TB. Avoid people who sneeze or are experiencing symptoms of pain and try to keep in shape with a healthy diet and diligent exercise.

Results of study published in Molecular Cancer Theraupetic mention that two substances found in cannabis, cannabinoid and THC is proven effective in killing cancer cells and prevent it from growing back.
Fisher said that the technique of brain cancer treatment with marijuana is estimated to begin on humans within 10 to 15 years. “We have to get out of the box and take it as a medicine in the future,” said Fisher.
The method can be used in this treatment is to inject the material directly to the brain marijuana, but the method is quite expensive although the price of marijuana itself is not expensive.
