Mesothelioma
– Origin, Cause and Prevention |
|
by:Ray Smith |
Since the late 1800’s, Asbestos has been
widely used for commercial purposes and the usage dramatically
increased during World War II. Thousands of Americans who work I in the
ship yard; commercial plants etc were exposed to Asbestos dust. This
was the beginning of Mesothelioma. The people who had a widespread
exposure to Asbestos were at an increased risk of developing
Mesothelioma. This was the beginning of the cursed disease.
Mesothelioma is the medical name for cancer of the pleura (the lining
of the lung and chest cavity) or cancer of the peritoneum (the lining
of the abdomen). Mesothelioma can be caused even due to an exposure to
Asbestos for 1-2 months but it is most commonly found in those who had
prolonged or persistent exposure.
Mesothelioma, generally does not affect a victim immediately after your
exposure to Asbestos. Its affects usually appear 20-50 years after the
exposure. This long latency period is one main reason why the number of
people suffering from Mesothelioma is increasing everyday, in spite of
preventive measures taken by the government as well as individuals.
Very similar to other forms of cancer, Mesothelioma spreads rapidly,
spreading not only throughout the pleura but also metastasizing to
other internal organs. The common symptoms would include shortness of
breath, chest pain, coughing and loss of weight.
Mesothelioma can be effectively countered by Oxygen treatment and
reducing sugar consumption. Otto Warburg discovered that the main
reason of cancer is replacement of normal oxygen respiration of the
body's cells by an anaerobic [i.e., oxygen-deficient] cell respiration.
Warburg’s theory helped us to understand that Cancer cells hate oxygen
and that is the foundation of the modern oxygen treatment of cancer.
Another important information that we gathered from Warburg’s research
is that Cancer cells metabolize through fermentation and fermentation
requires sugar. Also, metabolism rate of a cancer cell is almost 8
times more than a normal cell. (Check how Mesothelioma works at Human
anatomy animation-http://www.anatimaion.com ) This fact has been wisely
used and concluded that reducing or stopping the intake of sugar can
definitely work as an extremely useful deterrent to cancer growth.
The initial testing for Mesothelioma is done by X-rays and often
followed by an open lung biopsy to confirm the test results. If
diagnosed at an early stage the cancer can be removed surgically and
full recovery can be achieved through regular chemotherapy and
radiation treatment.
At an advanced stage, Mesothelioma is incurable; however, radiation
therapy, chemotherapy and other pain relief treatments can relieve the
patient comparatively and increase the life span. The period of
survival depends on the stage at which the patient has been diagnosed
for Mesothelioma and his general health conditions.
