(NaturalNews) Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, a group of minerals used in building insulation and other commercial applications. Long-term exposure to, and inhalation of asbestos fibers leads to the buildup of scar tissue in the lungs. These fibers can cause mesothelioma as well as almost any other type of cancer. Mesothelioma is a very serious form of cancer, which may cause those affected to believe that the only possible cures are those that are accepted in modern western medicine.

The truth; however, is that, like any other type of cancer, mesothelioma can be cured naturally without the use of drugs, chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. Unknown to many is the fact that holistic cancer treatments are fully capable of reversing even the most severe forms of late stage cancer. Through the application of a variety of treatments including nutrition, mediation, detoxification, herbal medicine, and others, mesothelioma, like any other cancer, can be conquered.

Treatment options

Most traditional western doctors will likely give a very poor prognosis to those diagnosed with mesothelioma. This is only because traditional cancer treatments have a very low rate of success for curing this, and most other, forms of cancer. This is why it is advisable to instead see a holistic health practitioner that has experience with treating cancer. You can then discuss natural treatment options that have much higher success rates.

Gerson therapy

The Gerson therapy is a vegetable juice based cancer treatment program founded by Max Gerson. The program concentrates on removing toxins from the body and providing it the nutrients it needs to heal naturally. Gerson therapy has been successful in curing many severe cases of cancer in which traditional treatments have failed miserably. Treatments can be done at a Gerson treatment center or in your own home. To see for yourself what Gerson therapy is capable of, watch the documentary The Gerson Miracle. Gerson is just one example of the many alternative cancer treatment programs available.

The Healing Code

One aspect of healing that is all too often overlooked is the mental aspect. The subconscious is vitally important in overcoming any form of disease. The Healing Code, a bestselling book by Dr. Alex Loyd and Dr. Ben Johnson, provides the tools that allow the mind to conquer disease. Reading this book is a very important first step towards healing. Only once the mind is in the correct state can the body begin to heal.

Success stories

The asbestos.com website features the names and survival stories of many mesothelioma survivors. This site does not necessarily advocate alternative medicine, yet most of the survivors listed on this page attribute their healing to natural and alternative cures. Some of the treatments mentioned by these survivors include "meditation," "nutrition," "mind-body therapy," "massage therapy," "holistic treatments," "homeopathy," "antioxidants," and "herbal therapy." By reading the success stories of other mesothelioma survivors you can begin to gain hope and the knowledge that the natural treatment of this cancer is not only possible, but the best option.
