A friend told me, how frustrated he attacked the tuberculosis (TB) lungs. Battered disposable medical drugs, the disease still exists. He also panicked, because she said, TB bacteria can be resistant to drugs formulated strikes dispensaries. Fortunately, when almost frustrated, he "discovered" gotu kola.
