On this website you will find a variety of information. From free booklets about TB/MDR-TB that you can download as a PDF from our Book Shop to personal stories written by people that have experienced TB/MDR-TB first-hand.

This month there are two new features amongst other things. One by Chuck Felton (pictured right), who 55 years ago at the age of 17 spent time at Cresson TB Sanatorium in the US. The inspiring thing about Chuck is that he is now retired and living in Texas. A reminder that there is life after TB when treatment regimens are adhered to (and of course access to treatment - some people don't even have this). He has also created a website of his time at the sanatorium with some great photos.

The other feature is by Benjamin Ocaya (pictured left) on his forthcoming film "Silent Killer" about his and other's experience of having MDR-TB. Both Chuck's and Benjamin's stories are inspirational.

It is great to see that it is actually possible to do something creative with the whole nasty TB experience. It is this creative approach that we need to tackle the growing TB and drug-resistance problem. It is partly because we have failed to change as the disease changed. TB never went away as so many doctors in the developed countries thought only a few years ago. We have to up our game and people who have had/have TB or MDR-TB have an important role to play however recent or long ago that was. We need to find new ways of tackling what is far from being historical, and indeed a very modern problem.

As always your personal comments, suggestions and stories are welcome for the website.
