Why Tuberculosis Needs a Holistic, Integrative Approach

Tuberculosis (TB) is a persistent bacterial infection that, despite modern medicine, continues to affect millions globally. At Patients Medical in New York City, we combine conventional therapies with natural, functional, and holistic medicine to treat TB from every angle—boosting immunity, healing damage, and supporting whole-body recovery.
We don’t just treat the bacteria. We strengthen the body to heal itself.

What Is Tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacteria that primarily affects the lungs but can spread to the kidneys, spine, and brain. It spreads through airborne droplets and can remain latent in the body for years.

Types of TB:

Latent TB: The bacteria are present but inactive. You have no symptoms and aren’t contagious—but treatment is still necessary.
Active TB: The bacteria are multiplying and causing symptoms. This form is contagious and needs immediate medical attention.

Drug-Resistant TB (MDR/XDR): A growing challenge, often caused by incomplete or incorrect treatment courses.

Active vs Latent Tuberculosis

Active Tuberculosis Treatment NYC

Active Tuberculosis occurs when the bacteria multiply and cause symptoms. This form is contagious and requires immediate medical attention and proper TB Treatment NYC.

Common symptoms include:

Persistent cough lasting more than three weeks
Chest pain
Coughing up blood
Fatigue
Fever
Night sweats
Weight loss

Active Tuberculosis Treatment NYC involves medical therapy combined with Integrative Tuberculosis Treatment NYC to support immune recovery and reduce complications.

Latent Tuberculosis Treatment NYC

Latent Tuberculosis occurs when the bacteria remain inactive in the body and do not cause symptoms. However, latent TB can become active if the immune system weakens.

Latent Tuberculosis Treatment NYC focuses on preventing progression to active disease through targeted medical therapy and immune support.

Functional Medicine TB Treatment NYC helps strengthen immune defenses and reduce activation risk.
