Mesothelioma Support To Help Eradicate The Deadly Cancer

By Heidi Wingrain

Mesothelioma cancer is a highly life-endangering disease caused by breathing air polluted by floating asbestos particles. It has been let loose on unsuspecting people due to over-ambitious acts of many people, industrialists also being part of the vicious circle.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with many advantages like resistance to heat, chemical reactions, electric shock etc. But it has a severe drawback - its capacity to cause mesothelioma cancer, which is one of the most deadly diseases known to mankind. But thanks to the enhanced awareness, the numbers of mesothelioma support groups are also increasing.

The most prominent Mesothelioma support groups are members of legislatures working together to bring about a total asbestos ban or improve safety measures, lawyers in the field of mesothelioma compensation, cancer centers and doctors specializing in mesothelioma treatment, research groups trying to find better cures and ordinary people trying to spread awareness through the internet. The combined efforts of these groups have started bearing fruit with many countries banning the use of several kinds of asbestos, enhanced precautionary measures at asbestos mines and other industries where asbestos is used on a large scale, improved treatments and facilities at mesothelioma cancer centers and opportunity for the distressed patient to bring to book those who are responsible for his illness.

Mesothelioma is an offshoot of the widespread use of asbestos during the World Wars and industrial revolution. Most asbestos workers of the period have contracted the cancer, but most cases are being detected only now. The infection tends to lie hidden for even decades before showing up. In most cases, it would be too late then as the infection may have reached killer dimensions by then. This results in most patients losing their lives in less than two years after diagnosis.

Concerted efforts of different mesothelioma support groups are fructifying now with patients getting improved treatment facilities and compensation money from responsible parties. Additionally, the civil society also stands to gain because improved awareness levels brought about by these groups has opened the eyes of industrialists, politicians, workers and the common man. Therefore, mesothelioma cancer is now not that frightening and untreatable disease now. Put into a nutshell, mesothelioma support groups have jointly brought about a change of attitude in the society towards asbestos and mesothelioma at one go.

  1. How i survived lungs cancer.
    I was diagnosed of lung cancer in 2011 and the doctor (oncologist), because i was a chronic smoker who started smoking from 16 and told me i had just two years to live that my lungs had been damaged, that even on the best medication i still had two years. I needed help because i was scared to die and i did chemotherapy, radiotherapy and it was unable to treat or help me. I coughed nearly every minute. In my death clock counting just 6 months remaining, if you knew me then i was good as dead because the cancer had eaten me up. My wife was fortunate enough to contact doctor Amber, a herbal doctor who came and treated me in our house using his medicine and that is how i was saved (where western medicine and methods failed), that was the greatest decision my wife had taken aside marrying me. Today i am totally fine without any symptoms of cancer, it was all confirmed by my oncologist that i am clean. Do not die in silence or rely only on western medicine herbal medicine is very effective. If you have any related form of cancer simply contact the doctor directly on (drambermurray@gmail.com) for more information about his treatment.
