Although some other cause of malignant mesothelioma cancer have been determined, the main cause is exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral used in some military and industrial applications throughout the 20th century. Symptoms usually do not become apparent until 50 years after primary exposure. Unfortunately, cancer is usually diagnosed at later stages when treatment options are limited.
One of the most frequent side effects of mesothelioma and cancer treatment is nausea. There are a number of changes in nutrition that can be made to help this problem. Dry foods like crackers and toast can soothe upset stomach and bland food to help with nausea and acid reflux problems. Dark green leafy vegetables can also be beneficial when treating mesothelioma, because they are rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that help fight cancer. Dark leafy greens contain antioxidants and phytochemicals, which is a powerful enzyme that helps rid the body from cancer causing agents (carcinogens) and blocks the enzyme known to activate carcinogens.
Mesothelioma patients can also benefit from the cancer-fighting nutrients found in berries. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberry, strawberry and loganberry is known to contain cancer-fighting phytonutrients, such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, pterostilbene and resveratrol. In fact, extracts of six berries were tested in a laboratory study to determine whether they can prevent the growth and proliferation of various types of cancer cells. Each type of berry was found to have a unique combination of phytonutrients and extracts from all of that kill cancer cells.
Furthermore, garlic produces a chemical called allicin that can be beneficial for patients with mesothelioma. Garlic appears to have the greatest affect on stomach cancer and prostate cancer in men, but the influence was noted in all types of cancer and carcinogens different.
