Anyone who has mesothelioma or knows someone who has mesothelioma knows the pain and suffering one has to endure from this deadly disease. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer which is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Even though this disease is quite rare, it is very serious and in most cases has a lethal outcome. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways.
The term mesothelioma comes from mesothelium, which is a protection covering which shield and coats most of the internal organs of the body such as the heart and lung.
Types of Mesothelium
There are two types of mesothelium: visceral mesothelium and parietal mesothelium.
Visceral Mesothelium: Visceral mesothelium is the mesothelial tissue that closely surrounds the organ in the abdominal cavity.
Parietal Mesothlium: The parietal mesothelium is the membrane that surrounds the lungs and the walls of the chest cavity.
What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer which malignant cells are found in the lining of the chest or Abdomen. This deadly disease can cause abnormal growth and division of the mesothelium cells by invading and damaging the adjusting tissue and organs. The cancer cell can also spread from their original location to other parts of the body. A combination of smoking with asbestos exposure significantly increases a persons’ risk of developing mesothelioma. However mesothelioma has also been reported in some people who have not been exposed to asbestos.
Who Is At Risk For Developing Mesothelioma?
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways. The heavier the exposure to asbestos the higher your chances are of developing mesothelioma, plus the length of exposure time also increases your risk. However research show that some individual with only a brief amount of exposure have also developed mesothelioma; Likewise not everyone who is heavily exposed to asbestos developed mesothelioma. Smoking combined with asbestos exposure can increase your risk of developing cancer of the air passage in the lung.
There have also been reports of family members and those who come in contact with asbestos workers are also at risk for developing mesothelioma or other asbestos related disease. Family members can reduce their chances of exposure to asbestos fibers if asbestos workers shower and change before leaving the workplace.
What Are Some Of The Signs And Symptoms Of Mesothelioma?
The symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Some of the signs and symptoms include: weight loss, shortness of breath, fatigue, acute pain in the abdominal region and chest area, abdominal swelling, anemia, just to name a few.
Is Mesothelioma A Death Sentence?
About twenty years ago the answer would be yes, but this is no longer the case today. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma it is critical that you seek immediate medical treatment.
What Are Some Of The Treatments Used For Mesothelioma?
It depends on the stage of the disease, the location of the cancer and the patient’s overall health and age. Some of the mesothelioma treatments include: conventional therapies, surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and or a combination of treatment and medications.
What are some alternative treatments for Mesothelioma?
I’ve just found out that my step-dad was diagnosed and medical treatment doesn’t offer much hope. What else is out there? What produces measurable results?
Please don’t respond to my question if you’re only in the alternative medicine category to voice you’re objection to it’s practice. No one here cares.
The statics I’ve read put the fatality rate at about 88.7 percent. If you can get me some stars and put this on the starred question list… maybe you can help save his life.
It’s hard to accept that he’ll probably die. /cry
What are the advantages of contacting attorneys? My parents will have to decide how they want to handle any legal issues but I will take advantage of all resources available to me. It seems unlikely that the attorney will have much advice regarding alternative medicines.
Challenging my question is very inappropriate of you. Leave.

Ignore the “duck,” he has no experience in medicine and is a nuisance at best; a self appointed health policeman? A drug company hold over member? On the payroll of a drug company?
Mesothelioma is a very destructive problem that affects the ability of the lymphatic system to work well. I don’t have any experience with this problem specifically, but do have some suggestions that do not involve drugs or surgery. Cleaning up and detoxing the lungs are something I do have some experience with and have had some good success. People who were victims of that genetically engineered L-tryptophan product made in Japan a few years ago and suffered for years of coughing up chunks of lung, etc. have found some great relief in using alternative medicine. The main stream medical community had no solutions and many of those people died as a result.
There is a product that cleans the mucus glands and lungs like nothing else I have seen. A man that coughed chunks of lung for about 20 years found complete relief using this product. It is inexpensive and easy to take. It may be worth trying and along with other nutritional support for the immune system, you may have a chance at helping your dad.
E-mail me and I will get you the information if you are interested.
Watch for the swarm of Medi-Nerds to arrive and blast your question with their indoctrination.
EDIT: “Rhianna” You may be surprised, but no one is taking you seriously on this site from the many e-mails I get thanking me for my advice and telling me how their health has improved greatly from that advice. I’m finding most people are fed up with “modern medicine” that you are promoting and tired of spending 5 minutes with a doctor and then prescribed some pill to try and see if that works. Like the other poster here, we are not afraid of you in any way and the sad thing is that people you are here to harass, not to actually help people. It’s obvious what the so called “skeptics” and medi-nerds are here to do. Not one comment from that “peanut gallery” is being taken seriously by most people asking questions on this site. People are looking for ALTERNATIVES to medical people because it is NOT WORKING FOR THEM. The alternative treatments are working and I see this everyday.
good luck to you
