Mesothelioma: Complementary and Alternative Approaches

The tissue that lines your lungs, stomach, heart and other organs is called mesothelium. Mesothelioma, or Malignant Mesothelioma, is cancer of the tissue that covers these organs. Although rare, this can be a deadly form of cancer. Mesothelioma usually begins in the lungs, but can also start in the abdomen or other organs. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. Many experts claim it takes 30 to 50 years from the time of exposure of asbestos before someone presents with the disease.

Traditional treatments have included: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of the three. Recently, research has indicated that alternative therapies such as chiropractic, nutritional supplementation, acupuncture, and homeopathy assist greatly in the presenting symptoms of the patient with cancers such as mesothelioma.

In our office, complementary and alternative approaches play a vital role when we see patients that have been diagnosed with cancer. Through the use of diet modification, nutritional supplementation, and Quantum Neurology rehabilitation we work with our patients to balance out the imbalances that are found. Please note: We do not claim to treat cancer or disease. We work together with your providing doctor and offer complementary services to those already being done.
