Is surviving mesothelioma through alternative treatments possible? How long can the patient stay alive before its recurrence?

These are the questions most doctors and patients are asking after some individuals who had mesothelioma had survived this rare disease through alternative treatments.

What is mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that invades the mesothelium, the membrane that covers and protects most internal organs of the body. It is composed of 2 layers: the first, directly covers the organs, and the other, forms sacs around it. Between these layers, the mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that helps to safely cushion the organs from adjacent structures such as during the beating of the heart and the expanding and contraction of the lungs.

Mesothelium has many names depending on its location in the body. It is called pericardium in the heart, pleura in the lungs, and peritoneum in the organs that are in the abdominal cavity.

The major risk factor that causes mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. There are different kinds of asbestos, with the white asbestos or Chrysotile as the mesothelioma asbestos being the most widely used asbestos in industry. Men are more susceptible than women, and the risk becomes higher in the older age group, although there are some incidences that show that children are affected too.

The standard or conventional treatment of mesothelioma is by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The recovery from this treatment is minimal, and the recurrence of the disease is high, besides being abnormally exposed to highly toxic medicines used in chemotherapy.

Some patients of mesothelioma recovered without any medication at all. It was found that these individuals were healthy and have healthy lifestyle. This leads to the belief that a strong immune system could possibly ward off mesothelioma and other forms of cancer.

Indeed, a strong immune system can protect the body from a host of diseases including cancer. Proper nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and positive mental attitude can greatly boost the immune system. Eating fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables supplies the body with all the carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals for a healthy body.

Diseases, such as mesothelioma has no place in a healthy immune system. The phytonutrients from fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables protect the body from many diseases. In the onslaught of diseases, herbs and other alternative treatments are more reliable than conventional treatment as proven by some patients of mesothelioma cancer that are still alive after more than a decade from their mesothelioma prognosis. The use of alternative medicine such as Ukrain, Iscador, Astragalus, vitamin C, and the use of ozone therapy has proven very effective in the treatment of mesothelioma and other forms of cancer.

Maintain your weight and be healthy. This can be done through balanced diet, physical exercise, and positive mental attitude.

To have an ideal body weight, we need a will and determination to do it. First and foremost, we need to practice temperance in all things. It means, we need to control our appetite and habits. It means practicing a healthy lifestyle in all aspects of life.

Our health is affected by what we eat. It is very important that we eat a balanced diet on a regular basis. A balanced diet must include the essential nutrients from carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals. A deficiency of any of these nutrients can cause an imbalance in the body and may bring ailments and diseases. Hence the need to eat a balanced diet daily.

Proper nutrition is important in the maintenance of an ideal body weight. Fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables supply  the body all the nutrients for the best health and most ideal body weight. Fatty foods that are high in calories  should be avoided. Herbalife Formula 1 shakes and bars from  HerbalifeGewichtskontrolle Deutschland provide low calorie meals.

Maintain your weight and be healthy through proper nutrition. Have a balanced diet that is low in fat and calories.

Natural remedies are better than conventional medicine. It is the trend nowadays in the treatment of diseases including cancer. More and more people are now into alternative medicine. This could be due to the fact that  conventional medicine is more expensive compared to alternative medicine. Besides being expensive, the success of treating cancer and other life-threatening diseases by the use of conventional medicine is less than 5%, and the probability of its recurrence is very high. It is not only expensive and unreliable, but  dangerous to our health too. During chemotherapy, good healthy cells of our body are killed together with cancer cells. It is more dangerous than the harmful effects of radiation from the microwave oven and the GMO foods sold in supermarkets.

Some of the best surgeons who know the harmful effects of chemotherapy and other conventional treatment prefer the alternative medicine to treat themselves and members of their family when sick of cancer and other life-threatening diseases. I know of some medical doctors with cancer who refused to be treated by the use of conventional medicine. They use the natural remedies in alternative medicine, and have fully recovered from the disease and are still healthy and very alive up to now.

People are now starting to learn and trust the effectiveness of alternative medicines and other natural remedies to treat cancer and other diseases. More people, including some medical doctors and other health practitioners are now using herbal medicines to treat cancer and other diseases because it is more effective, safer and cheaper compared to the conventional medicine.

Some of us blindly trust the medical doctors when it comes to the treatment of diseases. We believe that medical doctors are the only qualified people who can effectively treat us of our diseases because of their expertise having studied in medical schools. We look upon medical doctors  very highly and fully entrust our lives to them as if they are gods who can cure all our diseases.

But doctors, like all mortals, are fallible. They are not gods to be trusted all the time. Like all normal men with limited knowledge, doctors are not perfect, and they are liable to commit mistakes in their diagnosis sometimes. Not because they have not fully learned their medical subjects at schools and are not proficient in their medical professions, but because diseases are becoming more resistant to medications each day. New strains of diseases appear, and there are no enough research data to help doctors treat these diseases.

If you do not believe in this, consider how many people are  still frequenting clinics and hospitals to see their doctors for consultations and medical check ups. They have been coming back again and again for the treatment of a disease that never seem to be cured. Some unfortunate ones now lay in peace six feet below the ground. Why? Because doctors cannot  completely cure them of their diseases through conventional medicine.

Let us wake up from our slumber and open our eyes wide. Let us discard our bigoted belief that medical doctors know it all. Let us not be overly supercilious and sarcastic towards herbalists and naturopaths. We have been programmed since childhood to fully believe without question in what doctors say and to follow their prescriptions blindly as if they are gods that know everything.

Observe the people around you and consider whether they have been  completely cured of their diseases and have not been sick again  in a year.  Our neighbors, our friends, our office mates, and even our own family are  still sick and prone to diseases and other ailments. We spend thousand of money in expensive medicines, laboratory fees, doctor’s fees, and other hospital bills. We seem to recover for a few days after taking some antibiotics and other synthetic medicines. Some bacteria are killed by it, but most  survive and reappear as another form of disease that is more resistant to antibiotics. That is why pharmaceutical companies are busy producing various antibiotics every week to combat these diseases that their antibiotics have created by itself.

Conventional medicine is not the best option towards good health. Besides being very expensive, conventional treatment is harmful to our health. Some of the synthetic medications used in treating cancers are mixtures of potent poisons that can destroy our body. Radiation is dangerous to the body. Have you not seen how ugly and ghastly cancer patients have become after being rendered bald in chemotherapy?

Natural remedies such as herbal medicines are effective in treating diseases. I wonder how government agencies could have agreed to a regulation to label all herbal medicines as having no proven therapeutic claims!

Natural remedies cure the cause of the disease and not the symptoms only. Synthetic medicines may treat the disease, but when their effects are gone, the symptoms reappear in another form of disease.

Natural remedies have no side effects, and rarely have harmful effects even in overdose. Some synthetic conventional medications have adverse side effects, and its overdose may be fatal sometimes.

Natural remedies are better than conventional medicine. They are cheaper and safer compared to the conventional medicine. They are abundantly available in fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables. The juices of fruits and raw vegetables have proven powerful healing powers for  almost all diseases including cancers. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables strengthen and boost the body’s immune system to effectively ward off all diseases.

It is better to be a vegetarian. A vegetarian diet is very good for the body. Being vegetarian can bring good health and prolong your life.

Five years ago, I started to be a vegetarian. I experienced the good results of being a vegetarian. I included raw vegetables in my diet, and my health becomes better. My body benefited a lot from my being a vegetarian.

I used to believe  that a vegetarian diet is not complete. I ran with the wrong notion then that a vegetarian diet lacks or has no protein in it. Most people believed that vegetables and other plant-based foods cannot supply the body of the needful protein for growth because this nutrient is only found in animal meat.

But this is wrong. Fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables do have proteins in them, and in better quality compared with those from animal meats. Plant proteins are lighter and easily digested by the body, whereas animal proteins are heavy proteins that are hard for the body to digest. They can putrefy in the stomach, cause dyspepsia, constipation, and other abnormalities in the body that may cause a hosts of diseases.

Most people also believe that plants cannot supply the body with vitamin B12. This is the reason why they taunt the vegetarians as anemic and sallow. This is not true. Some fruits and vegetables do provide us with vitamin B12. One example is spirulina, which comes from an algae. Also, when the body has sufficient supply of cobalt, it produces its own vitamin B12. Cobalt is a part of vitamin B12. Nova Scotia dulse and the Norwegian kelp are rich sources of cobalt. The above sources are all seaweeds, and they indirectly provide our body with vitamin B12. It is even believed, but not confirmed, that our saliva upon waking up in the morning has good supply of vitamin B12.

A vegetarian diet has many health benefits. The phytonutrients in fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables not only supply the essential nutrients that are needful for a healthy body, but they have also healing powers against many diseases. And some of these plants have potent phytochemical to fight against cancer.

A vegetarian diet can bring back the suppleness of your body and the luster of your skin and hair. It prevents premature aging, and rejuvenates the body. It can restore your eyesight, and sharpen your memory. A vegetarian diet improves your whole being physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.

Man was originally vegetarian. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables was man’s original diet given by God,  and flesh meat eating was allowed only after the Flood when there was a total destruction of vegetation on the surface of the earth. When men started eating flesh meats, diseases appeared, and men died prematurely. Please read my previous article “Why Flesh Meat Eating Is Harmful To Health”, and know more about this.

Studies in anatomy showed that man is vegetarian by nature. Man’s digestive system was originally designed for vegetarian diet. His teeth are similar to fruit-eating animals such as monkeys. He does not have pointed canine teeth like those of the carnivorous animals.

Man was originally vegetarian. Like the herbivorous animals, his jaw has three distinct motions: vertical or up and down, lateral or sideways, and forward and backward. Carnivorous animals have only up and down motion of their jaw when masticating their food.

Man was originally vegetarian as his intestines indicated. Like the herbivores, his small intestines are longer and his large intestine is shorter. His digestive tract is similar to animals consuming largely nuts, fruits, and vegetables.

Man was originally vegetarian as the following facts show:

• Like all vegetarian animals, man perspire through his skin, and not through the mouth as is common in carnivorous animals.

• As a vegetarian, man drinks by suction, while the carnivorous animals drink by lapping the water with their tongues.

• Man is provided with an enzyme called ptyalin in his saliva for the proper digestion of starch in his body. Carnivorous animals cannot digest starch.

• Man’s blood types A, B, and O are similar with the herbivores such as apes.

• The bile salts found in man is similar to herbivorous animals.

Man was indeed a vegetarian originally as his anatomy shows. It would be for man’s advantage if he returns to his original diet: fruits, grains, and vegetables. If man will continue to consume flesh meats, he will have diseases and afflictions, and his life on this earth will be shortened.

It is always best to obey God. Whether we believe in God or not, we will always be greatly benefited when we obey his commandments.

God has no need of anything from us. It does not change him a bit whether we obey or not. It does not diminish his power and holiness.

It is obvious that God did not implement his ten commandments for his benefit. It is solely for the benefit of man that God instituted his moral laws. With these, man can attain lasting peace and happiness.

Some people see God as a strict disciplinarian. They do not like the idea of God commanding them not to do this and that. They believe they are free, and nobody should tell them what to do or what not to do.

This is because we consider the ten moral laws as commandments. Exodus 20 verse  1 says “And God spake all these words, saying, …” It is very clear that these are words of God, and “he spake”, and not “he commanded”.

We hate being commanded to do a thing, and we do not obey especially if it is hard for us to do. That is a natural human attitude: we want to be free from duties, and we want easy life.

Let us change our belief about God. He is a God of love and mercy. His loving kindness and tender mercy endure forever. He is a loving Father who always wants the best for his children. He will not surely burden us with commandments that are very hard for us to follow. What kind of father is it that heap heavy burdens on his children? If you cannot do it to your children, how could you expect a very loving and merciful God to do it? Are you more loving and more merciful than our heavenly Father?

When God spoke the words, he enables and empowers us to do them. There is an inherent power in the word of God. When God said “Let there be light…”, light appeared from nowhere at an instant. There was no finding and waiting – it came from his word as he spoke it.

The same power was inherent in his words when he spoke his moral laws to the Israelites at the foot of Mt. Sinai, and that power is still present in his words today. When God said “Thou shalt have no other gods before me…”, he empowers us not to be idolaters. When he said “Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy”, he empowers our mind to remember it always; he gives you the means, time and strength to keep it, and he give you his Holy Spirit to keep it holy. When God said “Thou shalt not kill”, he made us loving and merciful persons and  enables us to forgive not only our neighbors but our enemies as well.

You might not believe in this. But I dare you:  surrender your life to God, believe in his word by faith, and you will see the result. You must believe. To believe is to see.

Let us not talk about spiritual blessings that God showers on us when we believe his words for we do not see them directly until they manifest in physical forms or conditions. Let us speak of good tangible things that God give us whenever we obey his words.

Let us take our body as an example. In the very beginning, God chose the best diet for us: fruits, grains, nut and vegetable. When men started eating flesh meats, their frontal lobes were destroyed and lost their conscience and spirituality. They became more animalistic and started devouring each other. Being unspiritual, they forgot the moral values spoken to them by God, and they wallowed in the quagmire of  sin, and has not been able to get get out from it until now. Their indulgence and intemperance in meat eating brought upon them untold miseries and afflictions from uncurable diseases that are only known in our modern time.

Refusal to keep the sabbath day can weaken our body and endangers it to a host of illnesses and diseases. Latest findings in chronobiology confirms the strong undestructible link between the perfect functioning of the human body with sabbath keeping. Inherent in the human body, that governs the immune system, and the myriads of functions of the organs in the body, is a biological clock that precisely follows a seven-day cycle known as circaseptan. Heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, waking and sleeping cycle, hormonal production, healing processes, and all metabolic processes in the body are governed by this seven-day cycle. When we desynchronize ourselves with this cycle, we bring upon ourselves unbearable maladies.

No wonder, God instituted the seventh day as a day of rest. Some Christians have their sabbath on Sunday. But Sunday is not the seventh day of the week – it is the first day. You are not synchronized with the seven-day cycle when you keep your sabbath on Sundays, and this will tamper with the normal functioning of your immune system, and other metabolic processes in the body.

God promised to bless those who keep the seventh-day sabbath holy. The physical and the material blessing are evidently manifold, much more the spiritual blessings if we can only open our spiritual eyes to see them.

Some people are not aware that fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are best for excellent health. Most of us are deprived of the many health benefits from fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables because of our lack of knowledge.  Probably our parents were carnivorous, and we were influenced by them.

And worse, farmers would sell their fruits and vegetables to buy pork, beef or mutton in the market. They exchanged their nutritious food to the toxic and decaying flesh meats of dead animals! They sell their tubers or root crops to buy bread and other processed foods that are mixed with harmful substances and are dangerous to the body!

It is the desire of us all to be in good health always. When we are sick and bedridden, we lose our money on medicines, hospital bills, and doctor’s fee. We incur a lot of absences from work, and if unlucky, we lost our job.

Good health is very important to everyone. All material wealth is nothing without good health. Million dollars are useless to a tycoon who is sick with incurable, terminal disease!

It is therefore very important that we strive to be healthy. If we abhor vegetables and have not eaten them yet in our life, it is high time to try it now. The unfavorable taste is just in the beginning – you will adjust and get used to it sooner. It only takes the will, determination, and discipline to do it.

Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are best for excellent health because of the following reasons:

1. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are the original food that God has given to man for his sustenance. As an omniscient God, he knows what is best for us, and he won’t give us lesser than that being our Maker and Owner of our lives whose loving kindness and tender mercy endure forever and ever.
2. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are rich in phytonutrients that have excellent healing powers for all diseases including cancers.
3. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables supply the body all the essential nutrients needed for excellent health. They are rich sources of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals in most precise balance. Contrary to most beliefs, vitamin B12 is also found in vegetables. Spirulina, and other seaweeds are rich sources of vitamin B12. There is nothing to worry of becoming anemic when you are vegetarian. In fact, the heme of the chlorophyll in all leafy green vegetables has magnesium which is converted in the body into iron for the production of red blood cells.
4. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables have light proteins that are easily digested and assimilated by the body. Flesh meats, on the other hand, have hard-to-digest heavy proteins that can putrefy in the body and cause various diseases.
5. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are rich in powerful antioxidants. One of these antioxidants is the amazing resveratrol or oligomeric proanthocyanidins from grape seeds that programs cancer cells to self-destruct. Eating fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables protects our body from the free radical damages due to environmental pollutants and stress.

Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are best for excellent health. God did not and cannot go wrong when he created fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables as man’s best diet. The various proven health benefits attested by hundreds of testimonies are proofs that fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetable are best for excellent health.

Eat raw vegetables and be healthy!

This is about my own experience in life. Five years ago, I started being a vegetarian. I  began as a total vegetarian, but shifted to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet a year later because of my fear of having a deficiency in vitamin B12. I was running with a wrong notion then that a total vegetarian diet is deficient in vitamin B12.

As I wrote in my other posts in this website, a total vegetarian diet is not deficient in vitamin B12. Some fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetable are rich sources of cobalt, which our body use to produce vitamin B12. It is not true that vitamin B12 is only available from animal flesh meats. Spirulina and some seaweeds are rich sources of vitamin B12. And all green leafy vegetables are rich sources of chlorophyll which have magnesium in them that are converted into iron for red blood cell formation in the body.

Actually, I started eating raw vegetables before I became a vegetarian. I tried if what I was reading from a book was really true. I eat raw vegetables as my viand in all my regular meals for a month. During the second week of trial, I noticed the good health benefits of eating raw vegetables. My body pains disappeared, and I became stronger and more fit. My thinking became clearer, and my memory became photographic and retentive. I was able to memorize many long chapters from the Bible very easily! And of course my insomnia disappeared!

Indeed, eating raw vegetables is very healthy for us! It can cure almost all diseases including cancers. I remember  a friend of mine who told me of her unusual disease wherein her muscles were wasting away. Her doctor prescribed eating raw vegetables for six months, and she was completely cured! She is now about 80 or 90 years old.

There is no need to worry about insecticides or pesticides in your vegetables. You can easily wash them clean in a running water. And do not remove the rind, skin or outer covering of fruits and vegetables – the most important phytonutrients are found there.

Almost all food nowadays undergo a lot of processing. Most of them have preservatives that are harmful to health. Almost all processed foods are garnished or even saturated with monosodium glutamate or MSG. Soft drinks and other instant drinks are mixed with aspartame, a potent excitotoxin that causes brain cancer and other diseases. MSG causes obesity even to those who skip their three regular meals.

Medical studies have recently confirmed that flesh meats are sources of tumors and cancers. Mortality rates are increasing because of too much eating of flesh meats. Even fish and seafood are no longer safe because of pollution and parasites that thrive in the sea and other bodies of water.

The safest alternative is vegetarian diet. Fruits, grains and vegetables was the original diet prescribed by God. Our digestive system was designed for these foods.

Fruits, grains and vegetables supply our body with carbohydrate, protein,  vitamins & minerals. Light proteins from fruits and vegetables are easily digested and assimilated by the body, thus making them readily beneficial to our health.

Health benefits can be obtained in eating raw fruits, grains and vegetables. It cures some diseases, and prevents most of them. Eating raw vegetables enhances good memory and vanishes all bodily pains and aches.

Eight years ago, I started eating raw vegetables. Within two weeks, all my body pains disappeared. My eyesight and hearing improved, and my memory became more retentive and photographic. I was able to memorize seventeen chapters of the Holy Bible in a short time. Also, I became stronger — I could run uphill and downhill without getting tired.

People spend lots of money to maintain their health. Millions are paid in hospital bills, doctor’s fees, laboratory fees, medicines, and in regular medical checkup. Almost all of man’s striving and endeavors are for his health, happiness, and well being.

But money cannot buy health. Rich people are not exempt from diseases, and even the richest die of terminal cancers which their money has no power to reverse. It is for man’s good to finally come into realization of how futile and worthless wealth can be in a life bereft of good health, and therefore very mandatory that he strives to acquire good health.

Good nutrition is one among the eight secrets of good health. Food is the most basic need of man to live. But it is not only the eating and gulping of food you like – it must be nutritionally balanced to be truly beneficial for the body.

A nutritionally balanced diet must include carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Rich sources of these nutrients are fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables.

Most people, especially the children prefer meat than vegetables. They believe that proteins can only be obtained from meats, fish, and other animal products. But this is not true. On the contrary, plants, seeds, grains and vegetables are more abundant sources of proteins. Proteins from meats are heavy proteins and are hard to digest. Plant-based proteins are light proteins and are easily digested and assimilated by the body.

Fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables have all the nutrients needed for excellent health. True, no plant or herbs can produce vitamin B12 – a very essential vitamin in the formation and production of the red blood cells. But the human body can produce its own vitamin B12 when it has enough supply of cobalt which is available in plants or herbs such as Nova Scotia dulse, and Norwegian kelp (types of seaweeds). Vitamin B12 or cobalamin is also partially found in food rich in vitamin B1 or thiamine such as nuts, seeds, beans, brown rice, whole-grain cereals, oats, and leafy vegetables.

Flesh meats of animals, on the other hand, are very harmful to health. Meats of diseased animals are carriers of communicable diseases which are easily transferred to human beings. Most animals today are feed with growth hormones, feed additives, and their meats are loaded with preservatives, food colors, and other toxic chemicals that are dangerous to the body. Healthy animals are butchered in dirty slaughter houses, and bacteria and other pathogens thrive on these meats, and are already putrefying and decayed before it reach the consumers. Eating of flesh meats had long been suspected as the cause of tumors and cancers. Only in this modern time have it been verified and confirmed by medical doctors as true.

Think twice before eating meat. Where do people get these dreadful diseases: cancers, tumors, mad-cow disease, foot-and-mouth disease, bird’s flu, and the latest scare – the Ebola Reston virus?
