The Forgotten plaque - PBS show

I watched it and had similar thoughts. I can't imagine how it felt for those who slept outside year around. Brrr!

The people who spent time each day sunning themselves on both sides made sense since they were likely producing vitamin D from it.

I was given tuberculinum (homeopathic) as part of my treatments when I was so ill before. I need to try to get a hold of my first homeopath to see if any nosodes are being made for Lyme an co. I was given that remedy for my tendency to have illnesses settle in my lungs and haven't had any colds or flu's settle in my lungs since.

It's too bad the show didn't mention how that remedy helped people during the epidemic. Kent also wrote in his Lectures on Homoeopathic Materia Medica (page 1000) that the Tuberculin nosode has the potential to prevent TB infection in those predisposed toward the miasma.
Which was from this discussion- www.simillimum.com/education/little-library/case-management/pedh/article.php Too long for most people's interest!

I've never heard of that company and they're in my area. I've used naturopaths for a long time and I don't recall any of them mentioning them. I'll continue to use Boiron, since that's what my homeopath used on me when I first went to him and others since then use them too. The company has been around a long time. I'll ask about the one you mentioned. Have you taken the nosode they have? I can't look around their site to see how they make their products.

Deseret Biologicals has a product called "Borrelia Series Therapy" that my Lyme dock had us use, but I can't say it changed anything and I didn't like how they said to use it. I think they now have bart, maybe another one too.

I didn't mean to hijack this thread, so back to the PBS show. What a horrible time for those people. They didn't have the knowledge of the human body like we do now and we continue to learn more. Many traveled to other parts of the US to find help. It was interesting how one guy was helped by getting out in the wilderness more. I know I feel better when I work outside on our land, with 1/2 of it forested. As the winter wears on, I tend to feel worse, so this time of year I can't wait for spring to come. Things are growing now and the frogs are serenading (tree frogs). So I can understand him feeling better.

I watched a different documentary about consumption or tuberculosis and I most certainly related to the hoards of people that sought treatment by moving to Arizona and LA to hope the sun would cure them. I have found that being in a sunny, warm environment does wonders for my symptoms but I am not certain whether it is the vitamin D or the consistent sweating from hot weather that releases more toxins than colder temperatures. I am very interested in this topic and would love to hear all viewpoints!
Thank you for starting a thread!

How interesting - thanks for sharing!
