There is something very interesting about mesothelioma which I think is being missed... It's caused by asbestos, which is a relatively inert mineral substance. The asbestos fibers kill cells in the lining of the lungs, and the defensive leukocytes, *mechanically* - by puncturing them. That means that with mesothelioma the cancer is produced by a bodily reaction only, not a chemical process involving an interactive irritant such as a carcinogenic chemical or a virus.

The other interesting thing is that mesothelioma can result from a single exposure to inhaled asbestos over 20 years in the past.

I keep thinking they're missing something here... If the genetic changes to which you refer can in this case be produced by a solely mechanical agent, the process of cancer development in this case has to be entirely produced by the body's "normal" processes for dealing with foreign objects, when it becomes so "overworked" over a period of many years attempting to deal with foreign objects of which the leukocytes cannot dispose. It seems to me there's a key piece of evidence of the process for mutation there which may be being overlooked.

It's very profitable for them to overlook the obvious.

No $ to be made telling folks such simple solutions to things.

Better to support big money mysterys.
