Herbal Therapy

A variety of herbs can reduce the severity of mesothelioma symptoms. Essiac tea is used to cleanse the blood and is recommended if a cancer patient has undergone chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Graviola has been promoted as being effective in attacking prostate, lung, breast, colon and pancreatic cancers while leaving healthy cells unaffected.

Yoga is the only form of physical exercise that massages the glands and organs of the body. This massaging of bodily organs has been linked to disease prevention.

Mesothelioma patients who worked with asbestos products or lived with someone who worked with asbestos products have suffered injustice. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos, a deadly mineral that has been commercially used by companies even though they knew that asbestos can kill. Asbestos exposure could have been prevented easily and inexpensively. Providing asbestos industry workers such as mechanics, with respirators or at least warning them of the lethal dangers of asbestos would have prevented the development of mesothelioma. Neither was done however, in order to maximize profits.
