Mesothelioma is a rare type of lung cancer caused mostly by asbestos toxicity.
The natural approach to any type of cancer involves removing as much of the carcinogen from the body as possible, detoxifying the body, augmenting the immune system, relieving symptoms, increasing general health and fitness.
Of course, you must first make sure you are no longer exposed to asbestos, residual or otherwise, in any way.
Start cleansing the body of all toxins, particularly all carcinogenic and mutagenic substances, and not just the asbestos itself.
Orthodox medicine usually bad mouths natural therapies. They warn of the dangers of fruit juices and vitamin C, and then prescribe some real poisons for the body!
Official govt approves only those treatments which can be controlled and thus sold by prescription only. It's a business racket involving a relationship involving the pharmaceutical industry, the orthodox medical practitioners, and their lobbyists with elected officials who receive campaign contributions and other perks.
Cleanse the body with clay.

Don't overdo it. Clay can adsorb necessary minerals also so follow closely instructions and use only periodically both internally and externally.
Depending on your condition, you can "purge" you body at the start, but be careful if you are in a weakened state.
For a few weeks eat only a sparse healthy diet. Some recommend a vegetarian diet. Drink plenty of fluids and cleanse the digestive system with plenty of fruit juices, and mild bulk fibers like oatmeal and whole grains.
Follow some simple steps to detoxify:
1. Adsorbent therapy -- Clays like mormontmorillonite, bentonite, smectite, activated charcoal, chlorophyll (wheat grass, parsley, etc.), lactobacteria (yogurt, acidophilus culture, miso, etc.), garlic.
2. Antiparasitic -- raw garlic, raw clove bud, thyme, ginger, black walnut, chaparral, echinacea.
3. Kidney cleanse -- stimulate kidneys to cleanse blood with lots of water. Rinse and gargle early in the morning with filtered/distilled water. Before eating or drinking, take a full glass of water down as quickly as possible. Get plenty of fluids throughout the day. Gentle diuretics like pippesewa, dandelion should be used. Always use mucilage with diuretics to prevent irritation. Marshmallow root is a source of mucilage along with foods like banana and oatmeal.
4. Cleanse liver with milk thistle, tumeric and/or dandelion.
5. Cleanse colon with gentle laxatives psyllium husk, garlic, vegetable oil and raisins. Make sure to keep well-hydrated when using laxatives.
6. Clean the lungs with natural expectorants like garlic, thyme, etc.
7. Knock down oxidants with a variety of colorful fruits, especially berries and vegetables.
Now, handling any cancer requires a good immune system.
The whole body's sensory and communication is bioelectric. You need good glyconutrients to maintain this system. You can get glyconutrients from seaweeds, mushrooms, and certain berries.
You also have to maintain a good mineral balance.
Cancer is produced because the body is out of whack. In the natural philosophy, it has strayed from the path.
The body is producing cells that it shouldn't be producing because it's confused. You have to reorganize the system with proper nutrition, rest and exercise.
Now to specifically knock down tumors here are some herbs that have been found effective:
* Lactoferrin -- from colostrum. Stimulates immune system.
* Echinacea -- stimulates immune system, detoxifies.
* Essiac tea.
* Cartilage (fish head's soup!)
* Milk thistle -- appears to slow lung cancer.
* Bitter melon -- stimulates immune system, food quality, non-toxic.
* Astragalus -- immune system.
* Omega fatty acids -- fish oil, flaxseed oil.
Use deep breathing exercises and meditation to relieve symptoms.
Use herbs that remove fluids from the lungs.
Chest-thumping (coupage) can also help remove fluids from lungs.
Keep a good attitude and don't give up!
