Mar 19 2007 Paul Kraus, the inspiring mesothelioma survivor, conducted another excellent
presentation regarding how he handled the deadly disease.
Paul Kraus, who born in Austria in 1944, migrated with his parents to Australia
when he was a young child. He worked beside an industry where asbestos sheets
were sawn into smaller pieces in the 1960's and was diagnosed with mesothelioma
in June 1997.Though he and his family were shocked by the diagnosis, they didn't
give up. He researched different therapies for this cancer and learned about
various conventional, integrative and alternative treatments and created his own
path to heal his mesothelioma with the help of his doctors.
Paul used integrative, holistic, and experimental therapies. He enjoy a good
quality of life even today. He is dedicated to inspire other mesothelioma
patients through his seminars and teleconferences.
Paul explained, "When I was diagnosed my medical prognosis was very poor. At
that time, I asked what were the chances of success with chemotherapy and I was
told not very high at all. That's why I opted for a different path. Apart from
being racked with fear and the fact that the fluid in my abdomen was building up
again, I did not have any pain. My quality of life was, at that moment, okay. I
made the decision not to go down that so called conventional path because I was
told by the doctors that my quality of life would be quite severely compromised
with the heavy chemotherapy I would have been prescribed. And so I made a major
decision. I decided to radically change my lifestyle."
Paul discussed his use of intravenous vitamin C and some of the research
supporting its use in cancer in the last teleconference. He advised the patients
to work with their professional healthcare provider if they are interested in
getting the appropriate dose and administration of this important vitamin.
Anyway, the attitude of the patient is also as important as healing."A sense of
hopelessness can lower your immune function. Your positive attitude is an
important part in the healing process," Paul said.
