I’ve been reading up about mesothelioma cancer and the subsequent lawsuits that have ensued for mesothelioma disease sufferers who have been exposed to asbestos. Wow. Considering 4000 new cases of mesothelioma asbestos cancer are diagnosed in the US every year,  4000 people die every year, 700,000 people have filed claims against more than 6,000 companies and  250,000 cases will be filed before 2020 you’d think the government would move to to make asbestos illegal.

I’m a strong believer that nutritional saturation, oxygenating the body, detoxing and other forms of natural methods of cancer treatments can help as either a part of a holistic cancer treatment program or integrated into the more orthodox forms of cancer treatments. But with mesothelioma cancer, also referred to as asbestos cancer, the actual fibres of stick to the organs, particularly the lung and respitory area.

There is currently no cure for mesothelioma cancer and it can take 30-40 years to even correctly diagnose the symptoms. Once one has been diagnosed with the cancer the life expectancy is less than 12 months. So if you know anyone who has been exposed to asbestos or works with asbestos now would be the time to visit a legal representaive to find our what your rights are.  http://www.cancertreatmenthelp.org/mesothelioma-legal and if you are due for some compensation. The average mesothelioma lawsuit settles for between 1-6 million dollars which is small consolation if you you loose your life way before it’s natural time.

I would also be interested to hear anyone’s ideas and experience with possible treatments to help provide, at the very least, mesothelioma cancer sufferes with some light at the end of the tunnel.

I also think there should be a concerted effort to make the use of asbestos whether it be for roofing or insulation, illegal.  For more on mesothelioma cancer you visit http://www.cancertreatmenthelp.org/types-of-cancer/mesothelioma-disease
