The Forgotten Plague

This is a wonderful example of where as society we began to trust drugs, and man, more than God. What you can see in this movie, if you look and listen closely, is the power of our God Given immune system, if we give the body what it needs. It also helps us to understand that there is something missing,in our diets, that we should be able to give our bodies, for our body to do the job it is designed to do. We are not drug deficient. Drugs can help, and they did, for those people whose immune systems were strengthened. There is more to the story, and it will unfold. To God be the Glory! We continue to, in this day and age, do the same thing and get the same results. Drugs, drugs, and more drugs.

Awesome teaching tool

Will be showing this to my health classes when we do the communicable disease unit. Great way to show the strides we have made in medicine.

American Experience: The Forgotten Plague

A wonderful Documentary, my own grandmother died at only 38 from advanced TB, she had been in two sanitariums in the early stages, She had been exposed by her brothers wife, and they also died from TB. My grandmother died in 1945, my mother was only 20 with three younger brothers, the youngest 13. So many millions have died from this terrible disease in the past and even now newer and stronger strains are developing because patients dont finish all of the meds. Many no doubt boarding planes for all over the world! Now that is ont only sad but infuritating!
