Mesothelioma is Not the End
Mesothelioma is one of the most dangerous cancers around. Few are expected to live for five years beyond the initial diagnosis. However, more and more people are defying the odds through a range of innovative alternative cancer therapies.
Take Paul Klaus as an example. He’s a mesothelioma sufferer who has managed to survive for more than 20 years with the disease because he made some big changes to his diet and lifestyle.
And others are following in his footsteps.
Supporting Yourself through Diet
Toxic chemo and radiation therapies aren’t the only options on the table for mesothelioma sufferers. Dietary changes can make a difference. Klaus is only one example of mesothelioma survivors who have continued to live because they followed the right diet for them.
A diet rich in anti-oxidants has been scientifically shown to actively fight against a range of cancers, including mesothelioma. The same goes for Vitamin C (IV) therapy.
Nutrition is important and making simple changes to your lifestyle can negate the need for complex and toxic therapies.
