AMR Awareness Week (Day 5): MDR-TB, the existing anomolous AMR pandemic

The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) represents one of the most daunting challenges to disease control worldwide let alone to controlling AMR.

Drug-resistant TB is the only antimicrobial resistant infection that is airborne so is by any defnition the hardest AMR problem to contain.

Moxafrica is a British charity set up in 2008 to investigate the use of moxibustion therapy for the treatment of tuberculosis, particularly drug-resistant TB, in resource-poor environments.

Next week, they are going to the ‘Bellhaven Harm Reduction Centre’ in the centre of Durban, to come and introduce (and train, of course) their staff to moxa.

Do you suffer from Long COVID or know anyone who does?

As simple moxa therapy can fortify the immune system, and help suppress symptoms and speed up recovery from #tuberculosis, the good people of #Moxafrica are now conducting research to see if #moxibustion can be an effective treatment for #LongCovid.
