Pleural Mesothelioma is a serious ailment that affects the thoracic cavity. It is believed to be caused by inhaling asbestos dust. Most of the three thousand such cases reported in the United States every year are malignant. There are two important reasons for this. The disease has a long latency period of twenty to forty years. By the time the symptoms manifest, the cancer would have already set in. Secondly, the outward signs that emerge are similar to that of many common and less serious diseases, rendering diagnosis difficult. Usually the problem is identified too late.

The outward symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include breathing and swallowing difficulty, loss of weight, constant coughing, chest congestion and pain, spitting blood, and fever. Detailed investigations reveal irregular thickening of pleura and fluid collection, reduced space between the lung lobes, and mineral deposits.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma goes through four separate stages. Initially it is restricted to the pleura, the membrane in the thoracic cavity. Next the lymph nodes are affected. In the third stage there would be local spreading of the disease. Finally the cancer penetrates to other parts of the body. Often, death strikes within six to eighteen months of diagnosing the disease depending on the stage at which the problem was identified.

In the initial phase surgery may prove helpful to some extent. Other lines of treatment include Brachotherapy. Several doctors prefer a multi-modality approach aimed at prolonging survival and reducing pain. Exciting new developments like photodynamic therapy, immuno therapy and gene therapy are undergoing human clinical trials.

The sad part is that we are yet to see the full spectrum of the menace. The present strike rate of 3000 new pleural mesothelioma cases per year is only a starter. National Cancer Institute estimates that eight million people have been exposed to asbestos during the past fifty years and that 300,000 new cases of pleural mesothelioma could come up by 2030! It is essential that efforts be made on a war footing to develop new effective methods of prevention and treatment.

But pragmatically, for the present, a person diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma and/or his close relatives should look for the best palliative care and a competent lawyer to sue for damages.

Can you imagine what a cancer cell looks like?

What a cancer cell is, is blockage. A bunch of cells getting together to block up your system. If you can imagine a cell, then imagine a bunch of cells all getting together to block up your arteries, your lungs, your heart, your kidneys, your gall bladder, and everything else from doing their jobs. Give them a color, a size, a shape, a texture, a smell, and a taste. Yes, a taste. Yuck, huh?

See, the purpose behind giving them an entity, which is what you just did, is so you can get rid of them. If you can’t see (imagine) them, you can’t get rid of them. Give them an entity, so that entity can dissolve or whatever you choose to happen to them in the paragraphs below.

Note: Keep in mind that nothing you visualize has to be exact. A layman doesn’t know what a heart really looks like unless he or she studies it. The same with the kidneys, etc. Just do your best to visualize whatever you can and know that that is where the work will be accomplished.

What does it make you feel like when you first learn you have this little problem?

(And yes, we must think of cancer, or any other debilitating disease, as a *little problem*, so that we can deal with it. If we think it is a * huge, unable to be defeated* problem, we will have trouble thinking we can handle it, right?)

So, what does it make you feel like? A victim? Does it give you a *I can’t do anything about this* feeling of despair? Do you have a *I know what comes next* thought pattern as you remember and visualize what has happened to your friends or family that has gone through this? Or do you think about the horror stories you’ve heard about or seen on TV?

My goodness, where does that get you? Agony, right? You don’t want to be a victim, do you?

OK. Time to do something about it! Time to get on with the healing.

But what can you do? You’re not a doctor? You don’t know anything about healing? Well, even if you are a doctor, and even if you know some things about healing, this article will give you a new lease on life. It will help get you out of the victim mentality and into an *I can handle it* attitude.

So, are you ready? Great!

Here’s a regiment for you that is easy to do, and you need to remember that you have to stick with it and be very consistent. Make sure you talk it over with your doctor, however, and let’s hope he’s a progressive doctor who knows how visualization can help bring miracles to the body.

Every morning before you take your medication, sit or lie down and relax for fifteen minutes. Start each session out by breathing slowly and counting on each exhale: 3 3 3 — 2 2 2 — 1 1 1. Then, 10 9 8, then 7 6 5, then 4 3 2, then 1 1 1.

Now that you are relaxed, visualize an outline of your body with all the cancer cells inside. Now, see those cancer cells begin to dissolve.

Note: Here’s were we can be flexible. You can either see them dissolve, or see them float away, or see them burn up, or see them turn into smoke and disappear. Whatever works best for you, watch this process happen for fifteen minutes.

Repeat this process every mid-day, maybe around 1 p.m. or so, when your stomach has had a chance to process your lunch, and you aren’t so tired. We don’t want you to go to sleep while doing this, so maybe you will say something to yourself when you start to relax, like “My body is relaxed, but my mind is alert.”

Repeat this fifteen minute process again at night, just before you go to sleep.

There, now you know what to do to help your body heal. Now, I will show you some things you can do to keep your mind healthy.

Sometimes, we worry without meaning to. What does worry bring? More worry. So, learn to be happy. What can happy do for you? Nothing bad. And that’s very important. When you find yourself worrying, stop right there and smile. Then, continue on with what you were doing.

If you feel the need to be active, every morning have a regiment of walking around the house, or outside if you like, for fifteen minutes. The first five minutes, practice good breathing that gives your body a chance to heal. Breathe in four short breaths through your nose without letting it out. Then, on the exhale, breathe out your nose four short breaths. Do this for five minutes.
Then next five minutes, start each sentence out with *I am so happy and so very grateful, I have (am, can . . . Whatever). And be thankful for all that you list. Then the last five minutes, start each sentence out with *I am so happy and so very grateful, I have (am, can . . . Whatever) and list everything you want. This last list is your projection of everything you want coming to you. Be creative. Be happy for lots of money, lots of good health, lots of new things.

There, have we given your mind enough to work with? So, now it won’t be burdened with the old *I’m sick and I’m going to die, and I have no control over my body* thought process? I mean, all this might have been true a minute ago when you had the old thought patterns. But now you have a chance to live life with you in control.

Remember this: If any thought like that comes along, chase it away with *I now release the pattern in my consciousness that is creating resistance to my good.*

Worry causes more diseased cells that cause blockages. Worry is to be avoided at all cost!

Editor’s Note: If you cannot see or don’t understand what visualization is all about, please read *What If Life Doesn’t Hand You A Lemon? Imagine It Anyway!* tameyourbrain.com/lemon.htm

NOTE: You must keep up with your doctor’s appointments. Do not, I repeat, do NOT expect this to take the place of regular doctor’s visits. Let your doctor be a gauge of how well you are doing with your visualization. Feel good about this.

Please pass this on to a friend. Help them take away the feeling of helplessness.

Thanks for reading.

Asbestos related disease can lurk in your body for decades, not showing up in evident bogy conditions. This means that you may potentially carry the danger in yourself and not be aware of this. Asbestos exposure can lead to terrible medical consequences. You need to carefully be diagnosed when exposed to asbestos. You should know that asbestos related disease is a terrible thing and you shouldn’t take things too lightly.

Exposure to asbestos fibers can happen in your home, in work, on the street. It is very dangerous indeed. If a building was made by the usage of asbestos, that you are in big trouble, if you happen to be its constant inhabitant. Asbestos exposure can be done nearly everywhere you live or work at.

Materials containing asbestos were largely used in the 20th century, and their harmful influence on human body was not known. Now, we already know that asbestos can have terrible effects on humans. The asbestos water pipes can cause different cancers. The asbestos roofs and insulation can be as much dangerous as the pipes.

The air containing asbestos is absolutely excruciating for your health. The air carries the asbestos fibres, which are infused in the lungs, causing various asbestos related diseases. If you are prone to asbestos influence, you may carry in your body a lot of asbestos fibers. They can ruin you lungs, and they can also move to other areas in your body, causing even greater harm.

Popular asbestos related diseases are known as asbestosis and mesothelioma. Asbestosis is an irritation and inflammation of the lungs, which have been scarred by asbestos fibres. Mesothelioma is a cancer that occurs around the lungs, ribs and abdominal organs.

Treatment of asbestos related disease includes infection treatment, vaccination, and also standard cancer treatments. Oxygen can be inflated in the lungs, so that the fibers stop their destructive activity. People prone to asbestos related disease should stop smoking, if they are smokers. This can prevent the disease from showing up.

Exposure to asbestos causes proneness to asbestos related diseases, but it is not 100 per cent certain that you will catch the diseases. Anyway, you should be very careful because you never know how your body will react to certain influences.

There are a lot of harmful influence in workplaces as well. Workers who are constantly at the building sites of different houses, are exposed to higher influence of asbestos fibers. It depends on the house your work office is situated in, whether you will get the influence or not. Some buildings can be really harmful.

Whether or not asbestos is used in building a house, you should consult with a professional. They can make approbation and find whether you are at risk or not. Buildings such as commercial buildings, workplaces, or residential homes should be tested for ensuring the safety of their residents.

Someone I know is battling breast cancer and if it were up to me, I would not let anyone go through the same ordeal. She is a client, and a dear friend.

Every two minutes, a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. The incidence has climbed from one in 20 in 1960 to one in seven women today. It’s a terrifying disease that turns everything upside down. In the United Kingdom, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and affects more than 300,000 women each year. In fact, England and Wales together have one of the highest mortality rates from breast cancer in the world. Until recently, the role of diet in breast cancer was not fully understood. Today, it’s much clearer than ever that certain foods play a role in cancer formation or make a preexisting cancer worse. In fact, some scientists believe that one third of all cancers occur as a result of diet.

There is a direct link between obesity (especially if the fat is round the waist) and the risk of developing breast cancer. Some authorities suggest that being overweight only increases the risk of cancer for women who have been through menopause. Also, the amount of fat in the diet influences levels of the hormone oestrogen - a trigger for breast cancer. Red and fried meat may contribute to a rise in the incidence of breast cancer. Cut down your intake of pork, lamb, beef, sausages, hamburgers, meat pies, bacon, ham and processed canned meats. There is also consistent evidence that alcohol - even one drink a day - does lead to a small increase in risk although it’s not known why.

If you would like to protect against breast cancer, consider soya, cereals, legumes and vegetables. These contain phytoestrogens, metabolically active compounds found in plants. These have a ‘balancing’ effect on oestrogens produced naturally in the body.

Fruit and vegetables, especially those with deep colours such as red grapes and dark green leafs, are a major source of antioxidants, which help fight all cancers.

Additonal ways to fight cancer include maintaining a healthy body weight, eating more fibre (e.g. wholegrain cereals, pulses and wholegrain breakfast cereals such as muesli and bran flakes), restricting alchol to less than 2-3 units a day (one unit is equivalent to one glass of wine, ½ pint of beer or one pub measure of spirits.)
