I note that many of the people Weston Price visited who had began consuming westernized food (sugar, flour, jams, etc.) had increased rates of tuberculosis.
I question the paradigm that tuberculosis is an “infectious” disease. I’m more inclined to view it as an “opportunistic” disease. Therefore, anything that improves the internal terrain and immune system would necessarily reduce the chance of developing tuberculosis.
Fasting has proven to be an excellent treatment for tuberculosis.

I was discovered to have pulmonary TB as a child in the 50s when a mass radiography unit came to my school, where there proved to have been an older child with TB from whom I and others had caught the illness.
I had it for many years on and off and spent a long time in 2 different sanatoria as well as having a year’s bed-rest at home. I was actively discouraged by the chest doctors from being out in the sun at all and told always to cover up. I was told that if the TB bacilli had become dormant and ‘walled-off’ inside my lungs that sunlight could wake them up again and restart the illness again, and so I did as I was told. I have no idea at all whether this advice held or holds water. – Maybe among the medics who visit this site someone may have some informed knowledge about it?
