Root Cause of Disease
Pleural mesothelioma — or malignant pleural mesothelioma — is a rare cancer that grows in the membrane (pleura) that lines the walls of your chest and lungs. The condition gets its name from the mesothelium, a lining that protects your internal organs. Cancer that forms in any part of the mesothelium is called mesothelioma based on the types of cells in the mesothelium (mesothelial cells) where the cancer develops. Some cells lead to more aggressive (fast-growing) cancer than others.
Symptoms
The symptoms of pleural mesothelioma set on slowly. It can take up to 50 years for pleural mesothelioma to develop after asbestos exposure. Early signs of pleural mesothelioma can be bothersome, but easy to dismiss. Many people delay seeing their healthcare provider until their cancer’s more advanced.
The main symptoms of pleural mesothelioma are ongoing chest pain and shortness of breath.
Other symptoms include:
- Persistent cough and hoarseness
- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Lower back pain
- Swollen face and arms
- Unexplained weight loss
- Night sweats
- Fatigue
- Fever
Causes
- Asbestos exposure causes pleural mesothelioma in 70% of cases. And these are only the cases researchers know of for sure.
- The number may be higher. Asbestos consists of fibers that become tiny, airborne particles when disturbed.
- The particles settle in your lungs if you inhale them. They’re too tough for your body to break down.
- Over time, these particles can cause scarring and inflammation in your lungs.
- They also cause cell changes that lead to cancer.
- Intact materials containing asbestos are safe.
- Asbestos only poses a health risk when disturbing the material releases asbestos particles into the air.
- Scientists are researching potential causes of mesothelioma unrelated to asbestos exposure. Other causes may include:
- Previous radiation therapy directed at your chest.
- Genetic mutations that run in families (missing BAP1gene).
- Exposure to carbon nanotubes, a building material that’s used to reinforce other structures (currently found in vehicles, sports equipment and many other materials).
Home Remedies To Treat Pleural Mesothelioma
Remedy – 1 : Cannabis
Materials: Cannabis and Cannabinoid
Cannabis, also known as Marijuana, has been found to ease cancer pain as well as chemotherapy-induced nausea. It is more effective in relieving symptoms, has few, if any, side effects, and the patients do not build up a tolerance. Cannabis contains chemicals called cannabinoids, Phyto cannabinoids or cannabidiol.

Remedy – 2 : Garlic
Materials : Garlic
This herb has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and helps protect the immune system. You need at least one clove a day or 100-1,000 milligrams of extract for efficacy.
Remedy – 3: Green Tea
Materials: Green Tea
Green tea is a good source of antioxidants. Polyphenols, a chemical in green tea, has been known to help with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support. Drinking up to 3 cups each day can yield positive results.
Preventions
Reducing your exposure to asbestos may lower your risk of mesothelioma.
Most people with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos fibers at work. Workers who may encounter asbestos fibers include:
- Asbestos miners
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Pipefitters
- Insulators
- Shipyard workers
- Demolition workers
- Brake mechanics
- Selected military personnel
The best way to prevent mesothelioma is to avoid exposure to asbestos. To minimize your risk, always wear protective gear and follow safety precautions when working with asbestos.
