A mesothelioma survivor called Paul Kraus gave a speech to other mesothelioma patients about how he got healed. This presentation helped a lot of mesothelioma patients to develop hope that they can still get better.
One of the most important things in medicine is the ability of a patient to fight back in his spirit, once they give up, treatment measure most often don't work.
Paul Kraus was a man who had lost all hope about getting well from his mesothelioma cancers, because of the severity of his disease. He was also given a few months to live, after he received his positive mesothelioma diagnosis in 1997.
But despite all the worst reports around him, he didn't give up. He continued to approve different integrative, experimental, holistic therapies.
He also went through a lot of clinical trials to enable the discovery of better treatment ways.
All these he did, and today after 10 years, he can say he was happy he didn't give up all hope. This encouragement also goes to all mesothelioma patients that are in a critical state in their mesothelioma cancer. All hope is not lost, you can still make it out of there.
These are the kind of stories that should be told to people with mesothelioma cancers, because it helps build their resistance emotionally. When they hear and listen to such stories, their spirit gets revived, and they stay alive to fight back the disease.
Paul Kraus is a living example of that, and that has made him an encouragement to many other mesothelioma patients.
The symptoms, and severity of pleural mesothelioma vary with the stage of the disease, and it also vary with prior treatment. So if you think all pleural mesothelioma patients die, then you have to think again. There are facts that shows that a good percentage of them live to see new years and decades.
Take a close look at the situation with Paul Kraus, he had just a few months to live, but he turned that few months into a time to struggle. He wanted to die struggling, not like someone who died without doing something about it.
For all mesothelioma patients, the struggle does not end...it continues.

MARF supports ban asbestos in US
The Ban Asbestos in American Act of 2007 have gotten the support of the mesothelioma community and mesothelioma patients at large. There have been explanation on the mportant of this Ban because the use of asbestos poses a threat to the American lives.
Also the important of asbestos are numerous because it is a good material for many things, but in as much as it harms lives than do good to lives, then the US considers it as not acceptable.
The Senator Patty Murray was the frontier in the execution of this ban, and she is fully supported by the mesothelioma patients, and the community.
The numer of families that have died as a result of exposure to asbestos are too many. It is first the problem of asbestos workers, and then it becomes the problem of family memeber, because workers go home with their clothes, and unknowingly the family inhale the substance.
From there is becomes the problem of residents, and people living around factories and mines. All these put together show how harmful and dangerous this asbestos is.
It goes into the system, and forms a settlement, and then it continues to spread in a malignant way over a period of 20 years or more. And when you think you can be someone in live, the mesothelioma cancer surfaces and then you are faced with decisions of life and death. Most of the decisions are usually death.
There were also many testimonies about this deadly substance. One of them is the wife of former congress man Bruce Vento, whose husband died having mesothelioma cancers in 2000. He died 10 months after his diagnosis of mesothelioma.
Presently, Vento now serves as one of the Board of directors of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF).
As said this malignant mesothelioma cancer spread throught the infected site painfully and aggressively, until it finaly destroys the organ.
The estimate of mesothelioma patients that die in a year is around 3,000, and the ban could significantly reduce this number if properly executed.
This foundation have received many awards over the years, and they are committed to finding a lasting and reliable solution to the case of mesothelioma.
They provide all mesothelioma resources that patients ned, and if you need help they are right at your service.
