Alternatives to Mesothelioma

A dear friend of ours is dying of a rare cancer that is most common among people who have been exposed to asbestos.  He has no recollection of living in a house that was insulated with asbestos, or of working around it.

He has tried many of the hundreds (maybe thousands) of suggestions that well-meaning friends and family have offered.  For a while he used our juicer, and I believe that his wife (not him though) continues to make a Green Smoothie for consumption daily.

Today I was doing a little idle surfing and came across no less than 10 blogs dedicated to Mesothelioma!  I'm sure there are more too.

A good blog will generally include comprehensive web research that will result in your being able to access information more quickly than if you just do the general google routine.  In ONE specifically dedicated "health" blog you can generally find information about orthodox AND alternative/complementary methods for overcoming a dis-ease or illness.  Quite often the blog author has had some near experience with the dis-ease and wants to share their successes and experiences with others so afflicted.

In the blog Mesothelioma Portal, for example, there is a post about the very interesting writer, Paul Kraus, who recently celebrated ten years after a diagnosis of Mesothelioma (at which time– in 1997– he was told he had only months to live).  He has written a number of books about his struggles and his ultimate successes.
