Asbestos is a naturally occurring wiry silicate mineral. It's been used since Roman times, and at the peak was used in over 3000 products. It occurs everywhere including Africa, Australia, Canada, China Russia, and the united states of America. It is computed that over 6,000,000 tonnes of asbestos has been mined internationally. Asbestos is a commercial term instead of a scientific or geological one. It comes in 3 main forms :...more
Arthritis is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people older than fifty-five years. There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) is a result of trauma to the joints, infection of the joints, or the effects of aging.Supplements1. Vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary for the development of bone tissue, teeth and skin. However, the best form of vitamin A is in the form of beta carotene. The retinol A form depletes vitamin D, and as you may or may not know, vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins around for fighting the ravages of arthritis.2. Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is needed by your body to help break down carbohydrates and fats so your cells can use them. B6 is also necessary for the creation of blood and antibodies. Deficiencies of B6 can lead to nerve damage in feet and hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, swelling, pain in the knees, and menopausal arthritis.3. Boron. Boron is a non-metallic mineral that is needed by your body in trace amounts for bone strength, proper brain function, mental alertness,...more

Death due to asbestos exposure is a serious problem, and there has been a lot of research done on this hazardous material. One interesting study is called, "Role of Asbestos and Active Oxygen Species in Activation and Expression of Ornithine Decarboxylase in Hamster Tracheal Epithelial Cells by Joanne P. Marsh, and Brooke T. Mossman - Cancer Res January 1, 1991 51; 167. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) enzyme activity occurs after exposure of hamster tracheal epithelial (HTE) cells to asbestos and the soluble tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Since active oxygen species are implicated as mediators of asbestos-induced biological responses, studies here were designed to examine whether active oxygen species generated by asbestos or oxidants caused increased ODC activity. In confluent HTE cells, significant blockage of chrysotile or crocidolite asbestos-stimulated ODC activity occurred with simultaneous addition of catalase, but not superoxide dismutase, to medium. The addition of xanthine plus xanthine oxidase caused a dose-dependent increase in ODC activity, which was inhibited significantly after addition of catalase or...more
