He doesn't want another blast of radiation and is going to argue the point when he goes for his appointment. Last year he couldn't argue - his residency depended on cooperation, but he is not naturalised so it is not really an issue. Our GP told him he is more at risk from the radiation from the x-ray than he is from TB, but we don't know what their public health policy is or whether they can enforce the x-ray. Does anyone have any idea if there is any other form of testing he can request to prove he hasn't got TB, and to avoid the need for extra radiation exposure? Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hello Sue, Sorry,I don't know the answer to this. MIL always had some scarring that apparently looked like Tb remnant, but she never had Tb. If we need dental Xrays, we take a big dose of Vit C before and after as it's meant to be protective. Maybe someone will know about iodine as a protective measure - I read something about it a while ago and should have taken note of it. Sheri will no doubt know of a good protective hom remedy.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 see my webpage http://www.wellwithin1.com/TBtest.htm all info on the blood test there too what state are you in? Sheri listowner At 10:00 AM 5/24/2010, you wrote: Yes, it can. Sheri will surely send the exact info you need about the blood test. I don't want to get it wrong. I won't do either PPD or x-ray for schools, camps, colleges, etc. Winnie TB Question vaccinations > The weekend respite program I want my son to attend is okay with > our vaccination exemption, but is pushing for the ppd or an x- > ray to rule-out TB.
