A better understanding of asbestos disease such as Mesothelioma is required if we are ever going to make progress in the search for a cure. One interesting study is called, Asbestos fibers and pleural plaques in a general autopsy population. By A. Churg - Am J Pathol. 1982 October; 109(1): 8896. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - It has been claimed that symmetric lower zone pleural or diaphargmatic plaques are markers of asbestos exposure both in asbestos workers and the general population. In this study, total pulmonary asbestos burden was analyzed for 29 patients selected because pleural plaques were found at autopsy, and the results were compared with values obtained for 25 patients who had no occupational asbestos exposure. The average number of asbestos bodies in the plaque groups was 1732/g wet lung, and in the control group, 42/g wet lung. Uncoated asbestos fibers were extracted from lung and counted, measured, and identified by morphologic examination, electron diffraction, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The total number of fibers/per gram wet lung in the plaque group (114 x 10(3)) was similar to that in the control group (99 x 10(3), as was the number of...more

Do you want to try natural colon cleansing? Perhaps you've heard about its ability as a constipation treatment, or maybe you just want something to help you lose several pounds. Either way, you will need to learn something about it before you try it.Like what its name suggests, natural colon cleansing is all about... well, cleaning up your colon. And although it may involve certain supplements, the treatment is largely based around colon itself. Like most parts of the human body, the colon has the unique ability to cleanse itself and to make sure that it is free of accumulated wastes.Unfortunately, because of the amount of junk which may be found in an average diet, our colons are having very hard time keeping up with the food we eat. To put it another way, consuming too many fatty foods at any single time can interfere with the colon's ability to keep itself clean, thus causing constipation and indigestion.In order to correct this problem, natural colon cleansing diets are designed to make sure that the colon will have the opportunity to cleanse itself of wastes. This process usually involves dieting, although supplements and fiber rich foods like whole wheat grain may also be...more
