Mesothelioma Survivors

Mesothelioma Survivors:

Mesothelioma survivor Paul Kraus was determined to fight his peritoneal mesothelioma cancer the natural way. He became a vegetarian and started a rigorous anti-cancer diet which included organic fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and rice. In addition, he added many vitamins and supplements to his daily routine, consumed freshly squeezed juices and tried a treatment known as "ozone therapy". The rationale for ozone therapy is that cancer cells do not thrive in an oxygenated environment.


Paul Kraus' prognosis was very poor and he was told by his doctors, very honestly, that his chance of success with chemotherapy was not high at all. In addition, he was informed that the quality of his life would be severely compromised by the heavy chemotherapy treatments that would be prescribed. He was given a year to live but has survived a further eleven years by going the natural route.

Mesothelioma survivor Rhio O'Connor contracted pleural mesothelioma after asbestos exposure in his youth. He decided against surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Instead, with some help from physicians, he developed a regimen that included consuming more than 100 supplements daily, following a nutritious diet and practicing holistic, mind-body medicine.

O`Connor was inspired by Hippocrates who, more than 2,000 years ago, said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food". O`Connor is the published author of the book "They Said Months, I Chose Years: A Mesothelioma Survivor`s Story."

Told that he had less than a year to live and to take his wife on a cruise, he fought mesothelioma the natural way and lived a further 7 years to tell the tale.
