Alternative Mesothelioma Treatment

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos.  Many think of it as lung cancer, but it isn’t lung cancer in the classic sense  It’s actually a cancer that forms on the lining that surrounds internal organs (the mesothelium), the outside of the lung lining, the lining of the abdominal cavity, or the lining around the heart.

There are a host of non-conventional treatment options discussed at the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance and include acupuncture, herbal and nutritional supplements, lymph drainage therapy, and homeopathy, just to mention a few.

Another alternative treatment option discussed by the American Cancer Institute is Gerson Therapy. This therapy involves coffee enemas, supplements, juicing, and a special diet that is claimed to cleanse the body, boost the immune system, and stimulate metabolism.

Just as there is no guarantee that conventional treatments will cure mesothelioma cancer, there is no guarantee that natural or alternatives therapies will cure the disease.
