The tale of Cousin Lizzie's tent in detail. Note that even back in the

1700s, they were recommending people with TB take long, fresh air, sea

voyages.

Cousin Lizzie's tuberculosis tent.

Department of Family and Geriatric Medicine, University of Louisville,

Kentucky, USA.

Abstract

Before the discovery of antibiotics as a cure for tuberculosis in the

1940s, open-air therapy was the standard treatment for the disease. This

article describes how families and health care institutions used tents,

shacks,

balconies, and verandas to expose loved ones and patients to the cold,

pure

air that was believed to help them fight tubercle bacillus.

I think the sanatoriums and open air also worked because of Vitamin D. People

were in the sun a lot, and natural Vitamin D levels would go up to what is

required to keep the tb bacterium in check. There is peer review literature on

the relationship btw low Vitamin D and tb.

My grandmother was the only person to survive

TB in our city's sanitarium hospital. She lived to to 91,  had a permanent spot

on a lung from it. 

She got it when my mom was little. They burned most of their belongings back

then.

She told us they gave CLO & fresh air in the 20's. I don't know what else.

I'm so sorry Mayleen.  My other grandmother,  dad's mom didn't survive it

either. Left him & 2 other children.

I was reading about early treatment from clo, gold salts, resting, walking. 

They slept in screened rooms. Don't know how they slept in the winter mos., it's

cold here,  but it was fresh air that helped.
