- this is the one the author donate to attempt healing the tuberculosis . (Do note that, this author also did donate abit to repair for big stupa fpmt from time to time.  the author recommend the monlam small earthen stupa is because the author thought it did help with this disease. However, since building a stupa might take time, whoever interested to try this should consider donate it earlier ..at least one to two month earlier. there are a lot more benefits from building stupa beside healing heavy  disease. )


Tuberculosis problem are most likely gonna be minor sickness in the coming future as now it is getting clearer how to treat it and it is no longer uncurable disease. it is no longer a disease without medicine itself. This post is written as a reference for those who need it badly to stay alive.  For example, if one of the medicine the doctor give for that day has a lot of B6 (more than daily recommend amount), then one food and other personal drinks of B6 should be keep as low as possible.
