occupational work hazard that supposedly the company knew the risks to employees and they don’t want to pay for med care, or want little payoffs like 250K, which is cheap compared to what the person suffers from, and the treatments/pain/meds/ hosp care, resp care, medical equipment and eventual death. same as tobacco companies, they know the risks, even tell people, and they still smoke. so, really no claims there. some other professions are dangerous to health, nuclear workers, miners, some farming, some people work with dangerous chemicals, biohazards, transport of chemicals, even fuel oils, etc. the mesothelioma claims are being denied to entitled workers and many are told the company is not at fault. I don’t know what the big fuss is, but these class action suits, will try to tie up the court systems for years, sometimes hoping people die and they don’t have to pay the claim , or that people will just give up. some companies don’t have any work ethics and take advantage of people’s hard work and trust and naivety (spelling?)

 

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Asbestos is a natural mineral rock which is mined then the fibers from it are woven and added to material. It was discovered for it’s excellent fire-retardant and thermal insulation properties and was widely used in many industries, i.e. to insulate water pipes, and used as a fire retardant in wall cavities and ceilings etc. People who had mined and worked with asbestos over a long period were more supceptible to developing mesothelioma – which can take 10-40 years to develop.

In 1985 it was finally banned from when more and more cases of asbestos -related diseases became more prevelant. People with asbestos-related disease were advised to sue their employers for compensation – hence the reason why they had to appiont a lawyer and attend court.

Approximately – 3.000 people a year still die from mesothelioma and these figures are likely to continue up until 2020.

Asbestos still lurks in thousands of old public buildings today and is still a health hazard.

i worked with a guy who had cancer in his lymph nodes,doc’s told him the outlook was grim,nothing they could do.he told them remove the lymph nodes,they said it wouldn’t change outcome,but he had them removed.that was ten years ago,he’s in perfect health today.doc’s don’t know everything(i have the utmost respect for good medical people)medical knowledge has come a really long way in ten years.

 

I have just written an article on recurrence of mesothelioma.

I have included the link for you.

Kind regards,

Can I ask what his lawyer has said? I’d think the lawyer would know, and also would know whether it’s best to file singly or as a class action.

And, of course, a lot depends on where your father-in-law was exposed to the asbestos and how long ago that was. Some of this can be difficult to prove, since it was very common at one time and he’d have to prove that whoever he’s suing is the source of the cancer. So I’d wonder why the manufacturer is being sued, rather than the place where he was exposed to it.

My best advice is to make sure he has a good attorney. Tort cases usually base fees on contingency, so he shouldn’t have to spend any of his own money, but for something this important make sure the attorney knows what he’s doing.

There are 5 types.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Malignant Mesothelioma
Pericardial Mesothelioma
Pleural Mesothelioma
Benign Mesothelioma

The above answer should be the best answer. But, in conjunction, you need a food that transforms your body into a more alkiline state. something like dark green vegitables. Cancer is found in the acidic tissue, where dead cells do not necessarily die, but become abnormal and irregular. This promotes the chances of cancer cells becoming less dormant and becoming abnormal. The less of an acid producing body you have, the less chance of cancer forming. The same is thought if you already have cancer. kemo is not always enough, but consuming foods that leave your body with a more base pH, the better your chances of preventing your cancer from spreading to another area and growing. Also, habbits that get your body producing alkine, such as colder showers instead of warm ones. Anything that gets your nerves jolting will cause your body to raise its pH level.A long time ago, Dr. Otto Warburg won a nobel peace prize for proving that cancer is anaerobic; meaning they thrive only in a low-oxygen state. Alkaline tissue holds 20 times more oxygen than does acidic tissue.

Hi,I do a lot of research into mesothelioma, and run a website that is dedicated to providing up to date information concerning asbestos and its harmful effects on health.

The largest percentage of mesothelioma patients have developed it as a result of being exposed asbestos over a long period of time. I.e. during their employment, or someone who has had to wash their spouses clothing over many years, unwittingly not realizing that the clothing is contaminated with asbestos fibers.

The majority of people that will be diagnosed with mesothelioma within the next 20 year period, are those who have been heavily exposed to asbestos – 20-40 years previously, prior to when asbestos was banned. Therefore after 2020, there will be fewer people diagnosed with the disease.

People who are still at risk from developing mesothelioma are those who are unwittingly are doing a job where asbestos still remains. I.e. In old buildings. For instance – the plumber may constantly work on asbestos covered pipes etc, and may cut into the asbestos or tear off the asbestos, releasing the deadly fibers into the air and inhaling them.

Asbestos is only dangerous when it is friable (crumbly) or when it is disturbed. I.e. cut, sawn, drilled or sanded, etc.

It would be highly unlikely that you could develop mesothelioma after a short exposure to asbestos, but cutting out the risk completely would be the best option to take.

I recently read a story about one man who developed mesothelioma as a result of scraping moss off his asbestos garage roof for many years. He did not realize that it was asbestos or that – every time he scrapped the roof – he released the fibers and inhaled them.

Thank you highlighting mesothelioma,

Kind regards,

Ann

Yes You are right, Mesothelioma is a very very dangerous disease,very dangerous cancer disease,i suggest a site where you can read all about Mesothelioma.Treatment and preventions also,just visit.http://supperfun.blogspot.com/search/label/Mesothelioma

 

That’s interesting – a group of people answering each other’s postings about mesothelioma – is there a pattern here?
