Dallas, TX: Like all other forms of cancer, Mesothelioma also still has no cure. Time and again news reports appear stating that researchers have found a break through, but such developments only help in either early diagnoses or help in reliving the pain, misery and discomfort of the mesothelioma victim. In almost, all cases mesothelioma cancer results from occupational asbestos exposure.
In the last two decades, there has been an increasing awareness about asbestos exposure and mesothelioma cancer. Many research institutes and drug producers have come forward, focusing their activities and interests on the mode of attacks that damages this deadly disease. This has resulted in the progress of new therapies and medicines
Once again, researchers are on the path of using Vitamins, such minerals have time and again proved to gain significant role in the continuation and maintenance of good health. The regular use of vitamins, with a specific dose advised by a medical practitioner promotes growth of the immune system, reproduction and the vision.
Latest research has proved that vitamin A, can be of great assistance in the prevention of mesothelioma cancer. Vitamin A, along with Vitamins C and E, have been found to possess antioxidant powers. They are able to destroy free radicals. By increasing the amounts of these vitamins, it is believed that during the treatment through radiation therapy, the normal cells are not destroyed, as in the case of patients who have a lower diet of these vitamins.
With vitamin A being added to the diet of those patients who are undergoing the radiation therapy along with vitamins C and E helps the radical fighting capacity of these vitamins for a longer term protection against the development of cancer.
The fact remains, that mesothelioma cancer is a life taking illness with no cure. This illness caused when asbestos fibers and asbestos dust in inhaled and the silver fiber gets to incubate within the human body for considerable number of years.

Mesothelioma and Asbestos Disease: Widow Files Lawsuit on Behalf of Husband
According to a lawsuit recently filed in Jefferson County District Court, Willie Mae Denson is claiming several companies failed to test asbestos-containing products before distributing them for commerce.
Ms. Denson is filing on behalf of her husband, Elijah Denson Sr., who recently passed away from an asbestos-related disease. Ms. Denson believes her husband’s illness was caused by the companies’ negligence. A total of seven companies have been listed in the lawsuit as defendants.
Elijah Denson Sr. worked under many different job titles throughout his career, including laborer, furnace worker and carpenter. The suit states he was exposed to asbestos-containing products during these occupations.
Ms. Denson says the defendant companies were negligent for failing to notify Mr. Denson about the hazards of asbestos exposure in a timely manner.
Exposure to asbestos has been linked to several serious conditions, including lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. The onset of symptoms for these diseases usually has a latency period of at least 10 years after the exposure occurred. Because of this, many who contract an asbestos-related condition are often diagnosed when the disease has unknowingly reached the advanced stages of development.
Symptoms of mesothelioma can take as long as 50 years to arise. In such a case, there is little a patient can do to treat the disease and doctors often recommend palliative treatment options to relieve pain. To date, there is no encompassing cure for mesothelioma.
Ms. Denson’s suit also states the companies negligently continued to manufacture asbestos-containing products where Mr. Denson worked, even though they knew the dangers associated with asbestos exposure.
The seven defendant companies include A.O. Smith Corp., Babcock Borsig Power, CBS Corp., Cleaver Brooks, General Refractories Co., Ingersoll Rand Co. and Lockheed Martin.
This is the second lawsuit Ms. Denson has filed concerning the death of her husband. In this suit, she is filing because of a different injury than what was previously listed on her first lawsuit.
Before his death, Mr. Denson experienced physical pain, mental anguish and suffered from a physical impairment. Both he and his wife incurred medical costs as well. Ms. Denson is seeking unspecified actual and exemplary damages, costs for pre- and post judgment interest, and for additional relief the courts deems appropriate.
