Patients Listen to Mesothelioma Survivor Speak at Teleconference
Thursday, December 21st, 2006.
Paul Kraus, a nine-year survivor of mesothelioma, recently delivered another inspiring presentation on how he healed his cancer. Every few months, Mr. Kraus presents his experience with mesothelioma and answers questions from newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients and their families. If you are a mesothelioma patient or a family member of a mesothelioma patient and wish to listen in to the next teleconference with mesothelioma survivor Paul Kraus, the schedule is available at: http://www.survivingmesothelioma.com or call 619-261-7922 to register.
Paul Kraus was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 1997. The cancer was so widespread that doctors told him there was little hope and he should get his affairs in order. Rather than giving up, he created his own path to healing. Today, over nine years later, he continues to enjoy a good quality of life.
Mr. Kraus wrote an acclaimed book about his diagnosis and healing called “Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers – A Patient’s Guide.” This book, available on Amazon.com, is the best-selling mesothelioma book in the world. Wanting to inspire more patients, Paul Kraus took the unusual step of hosting free teleconferences so that newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients and their families would be able to speak directly to him.
During the most recent conference on Dec.14th, Mr. Kraus described the steps he took to heal his mesothelioma and answered questions from patients and their loved ones. Topics included: chemotherapy, holistic approaches, vitamins and other supplements, clinical trials, doctor-patient relationships, mind-body medicine and the specific treatments that he used. He also answered questions from the audience that included: How did he know his treatment was working? What therapies does he use now? What was his “Total Approach to Healing?” What treatments have other long-term mesothelioma survivors used?
While Mr. Kraus is a patient, not a doctor, and he does not provide medical advice, he inspires patients with his own story of success and survival. Comments received after the teleconference included: “The teleconference with Paul was excellent. I found it very informative, educational and uplifting.” “Thank you for writing the book, doing the call and providing patients and their families with hope.” “Thank you so much for your time, insights, and inspiration.” “Great Teleconference. Lot’s of helpful information.”
