It’s not curable, and there is one one mesothelioma, I have two friends who’s fathers died of mesothelioma, one was a bus driver, the other a carpenter, both died a horrible death. Very sad, very overlooked!

Many of my friends died of asbestosis back in the 70’s and 80’s it was discovered by a doctor in Duluth Minnesota while researching deaths of miners. We worked in the Northern Minnesota mills for years with asbestos without proper safety equipment, therefore caught asbestosis without dust masks. I remember asking supervisory for masks when the asbestos dust was so thick we couldn’t see and was told to put a hanky over our mouths. This was all recorded by the way.
The asbestos fibers lodge in the lungs creating small lesions that plug the airways.
Cystic fibrosis is about the same. It’s all about the lungs being damaged and the airways plugged.

A cure to mesothelioma is still unknown..What a pity !
This is an outstanding video..explains the malignant disease in simple words. Thanks for the post

I suspect radioactivity to be as an agent that could be concentrating on some very tiny fibers. Did Steeve McQueen as John Wayne went turning films in deserts where Nuclear tests had been done ? I think that as many test that have been done on asbestos should be made on radioactivity that could have concentrated on fibers, on cigarette fibers. I recall a Los Alamos Doctor that made studies on cigarette growing and radioactive phosphates taken for faster growing of tobacco. Asbestos I dont know.

Asbestosis is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Mostly found in people who work with asbestos and who do not use adequate protective gear.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder. It is autosomal recessive if memory serves.

Viral pneumonia is of course caused by viruses.

To the best of my knowledge, Asbestos is not dangerous unless it is disturbed. So, you don’t have to worry about it. Remove asbestos safely with the help of a person who is licensed to handle asbestos.

Asbestosis– asbestos fibers in body

Cystic Fibrosis–genetic defect

Viral pneumonia– a virus

i think cystic fibrosos is genetic but viral pneumonia is caused by in infection . asbestosos is i believe cause by removing or working with or in and around asbestos.
