History of the Trudeau Society

Julia — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:13:54 -0500

BREATHE LA Trudeau Society of Greater Los Angeles is named in honor of Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau (1848-1915), the first doctor to develop the sanatorium concept of treating tuberculosis. A tuberculosis survivor, Dr. Trudeau discovered that with rest, fresh air, and a balanced diet, TB patients could completely recover. In 1885, Dr. Trudeau opened the Adirondack Cottage Sanatorium, best known as the "Little Red Cottage," at Saranac Lake, NY, the first sanatorium for TB patients in the U.S.

Make a "Call for Climate" on Earth Day

Gobal warming is our most urgent environmental problem. Scientists tell us that the time for action is now or never. Yet Congress is weighing legislation that falls far short of what is needed, and will unfairly burden the poor and middle class.

TB and Immigration

Julia — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:01:56 -0500

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Tuberculosis Control Program Epidemiology Department , data is not collected on legal vs. illegal immigrants related to transmission of Tuberculosis. TB Control health educators note, however, that while illegal immigrants may contribute to a portion of TB cases in the U.S. and L.A. County, they certainly do not constitute a majority.

"Justice will only exist where those not affected by injustice are filled with the same amount of indignation as those offended." Plato

Now what does this have to do with TB?
