Alternative and Holistic Treatments
for Mesothelioma



Mesothelioma , a rare but deadly form of cancer, affects thousands of people around the world every year. This cancer attacks the linings of the lungs, heart, and abdomen, and occurs exclusively after exposure to asbestos. Unfortunately, by the time the mesothelioma is discovered, it is usually too late to effectively treat. However, some patients are now turning to holistic treatments for mesothelioma. These alternative medial options might be successful for you and are definitely worth exploring if traditional treatments haven’t worked.

“Holistic” treatments are those which don’t focus on simply attacking the mesothelioma or treating the pain and other symptoms. Instead, holistic treatments focus on getting the entire body healthy. With holistic treatments, your emotions and nutrition are taken into account along with your physical well being. Many patients thrive with alternative holistic treatments where other treatment options have failed.

Currently, there are three traditional ways to treat malignant mesothelioma . First, you can try surgery if the cancer has not spread. The main problem with this is that it takes months to heal, and there is always the risk of complications. You can also participate into radiation or chemotherapy. These second and third options, however, can cause complicated problems with your immune system and make you feel very ill. Holistic treatments, because they are focused on the health of the entire body, have fewer side effects.

What kind of treatments can you try if you are interested in holistic therapy? Consider the following options:

·Acupuncture: the use of tiny needles to improve the energy flow in the body

·Acupressure: the use of pressure on specific points in the body to improve energy flow, much like acupuncture does

·Yoga: strengthening the body through series of poses and stretches

·Aromatherapy: the use of essential oils, derived from pants, to heal the body

·Massage: moving the muscles and body tissue to release tension and improve energy flow in the body

·Hypnosis: subconsciously tuning the body into its natural healing abilities or helping you deal with pain while you are in a trance-like state

·Immunotherapy: strengthening the immune system so that it can more effectively fight the cancer

·Herbs and other dietary supplements: working to heal the body, much like traditional prescriptions do, but in a safer way

·Meditation: controlled breathing an thinking to release stress and improve the body’s healing abilities and restore the immune system

·Faith healing: prayer by yourself and others (often large groups) for a healthier body and for the death of the cancer cells causing the mesothelioma

·And more!

As you can see, there are many, many kinds of holistic therapies for you to try. These are often less invasive on the body and, in many cases, you can use them in conjunction with traditional treatments because there are no negative interactions. Of course, this is not always the case and some alternative treatments, especially supplements, can interact with traditional treatments, so you should always ask your doctor before starting a new form of therapy. However, in the vast majority of cases, you can use traditional and alternative therapies side by side. For this reason, they are sometimes called “complementary” treatments.

Remember, in addition to holistic treatments to heal your mesothelioma, you can also participate in clinical studies. These new therapy programs are begin researched by scientists and are not currently approved by the FDA. They may or may not work. However, if trials are being done on real patients, not just in labs, researchers are hopeful that they’ve found something that will be successful, so you should consider taking part in the program. There are pros and cons to every program.

Don’t be surprised if your doctor doesn’t automatically discuss holistic medicine with you. Many medical professionals are skeptical of its use and like to recommend traditional treatments – surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation – instead. Although you should think about these traditional options, it is also important to consider alternative treatment plans. If your doctor isn’t interested in discussing these options, it might be a good idea to find a doctor that will talk about all kinds of mesothelioma treatment .

Remember, many insurance policies don’t cover anything but traditional treatments (and some don’t even cover those, depending on the situation). If you want to participate in holistic treatment, be aware that this could be an out of pocket expense. The good news is that if you contact a lawyer about your mesothelioma, they should be able to get you the compensation you deserve to pay for medical treatments, no matter what options you choose. Mesothelioma is usually only caused after exposure to asbestos , and the major asbestos companies that allowed this to happen knew about this product’s dangers. You have rights. Talk to a lawyer today in order claim your money for mesothelioma treatments.
