Nutrition and Tuberculosis

HARRY GAUSS M.D.1

1 Denver, Colorado

1. Nutrition and tuberculosis are intimately interrelated.

2. A faulty state of nutrition is one of the predisposing causes of tuberculosis.

3. American diets need further study.

4. The normal diet is one which protects the individual from deficiency diseases and which supplies the physiologic needs of the body. It contains eight essentials: namely, energy, water, carbohydrate, protein, fat, salts, vitamins, and roughage.

5. A deficiency diet is any diet which contains less than the minimum requirement of each essential.

6. Sanatorium care of the tuberculous gives rise to special problems in nutrition.

7. There are no trick diets in tuberculosis. Mysterious sounding diets should be checked by standard principles of nutrition.
