Amid the medication that people making claims for mesothelioma compensation might take, natural supplements are often claimed to have benefits. One such is flax seed.
Flax is generally thought of as providing the fibres that go to make linen from its stalks and leaves. There is perhaps a sad irony in the fact that the factories where cloth was woven have, historically, been among the sources of the asbestos-related diseases that some claim are eased by the plant's seeds.
Those seeds are packed with omega-3 oils, fibre (both soluble and insoluble) and substances called 'lignans'. It is these that have been claimed to have anti-cancer effects, as the human body treats them similarly to oestrogen; the seeds' promoters suggest that the lignans may have a similar effect on the lung cancer as oestrogen is thought to have. Flax oil is also thought to have the anti-cancer effect of combating prostaglandins.
As that suggests, there is more than one way for an asbestos cancer sufferer to take flax. The seeds can be roasted whole, or ground, or an oil can be produced. In ground form, they can be taken in cottage cheese or orange juice - some specialists have argued that the acids in these foods promote the effect of the supplement.
One mesothelioma sufferer, blogging her experiences of the industrial disease, described the texture as unpleasant - "like drinking a glass of juice with breadcrumbs in" - but continued to take the supplement, which suggests that she, at least, is finding a benefit.
However, this should not be considered medical advice - anyone considering taking flaxseed to ease the symptoms of an asbestos-related disease should visit a medical expert for professional advice.
