With the help of scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, the researchers found that strains of tuberculosis exposed to a 6 percent solution of acetic acid -- slightly stronger than standard vinegar -- effectively killed tuberculosis for 30 minutes after application.

Can you recover from tuberculosis naturally?

You can get TB by breathing in air droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person. The resulting lung infection is called primary TB. Most people recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease. The infection may stay inactive (dormant) for years.

Can you beat tuberculosis without treatment?
