What the Asbestos Companies Knew About Mesothelioma

The asbestos industry caused a great amount of pain to many families by ignoring the startling evidence that asbestos exposure is harmful and often deadly. All of the suffering could have been avoided because the asbestos companies knew a lot more than they informed the public about. The companies considered the protection of the industry more important than the lives of their workers. Back in the 1920s, a large variety of medical articles showed that there was scarring on the lungs of asbestos factory workers. This evidence was revealed during autopsies of those workers. Asbestos companies had full knowledge of these articles, but chose to ignore the facts presented because the public reaction to such information would kill the asbestos industry.

There was enough evidence to support an undeniable correlation between asbestos exposure and the development of mesot

Which Form of Vitamin C Does Protect Skin Cells?

The condition seems to occur in people regardless of their personal hygiene. The first symptoms of scabies may occur right after infestation. Once they find a human host, the mites seek shelter in the less exposed areas of the body (back, chest, armpits, between the fingers, under the nails, in the genital area). The female mites burrow into the skin and lay their eggs. The larvae emerge after only a few days and climb to the surface of the skin. The first symptoms of scabies occur due to allergic reactions to the mites’ secretions, eggs and feces. The first symptoms of scabies tha

Cosmetic Surgery Abroad Making the Right Choice

The past few years have seen a dramatic change in the public perception of cosmetic surgery in Britain, leading to a sixty five per cent increase in demand in 2004 alone. In fact, so popular has cosmetic surgery become that it is hard to turn on the television or open a magazine without encountering stories of lives transformed as a result of work being done. Vastly improved treatments and increased social acceptance has lead to cosmetic surgery becoming a normalised practice, as viable and realistic to the housewife as it is to the Hollywood star. None of which is surprising, considering the very real and immediate benefits cosmetic surgery can bring to the patient’s appearance and self-esteem.However, cosmetic surgery can still be beyond the budget of many, which is why there is a growing trend for people to travel to parts of the world where the standard of expertise and post-operation care is just as good as in the United Kingdom, but up to sixty percent cheaper.
