Healthy Crock Pot Recipes Using “Super Foods”

Cooking with a crock pot is beneficial to patients with mesothelioma because it cooks your food at only 200-300 degrees and it never reaches temperatures high enough to introduce harmful compounds called Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products. AGE products are formed in grilled, broiled or microwaved food cooked at high temperatures. These AGEs are dangerous because they irritate the body's cells and could be a contributing factor to heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Crock pot cooking is also convenient and simple because there is usually minimal involvement in the cooking process. For someone with mesothelioma who is dealing with pain, fatigue and an entire array of mesothelioma symptoms, a crock pot could really come in handy. You can prepare your meal in the morning, go to the doctor for treatments or rest during the day and have a hot, healthy meal ready for you by the end of the day.

Try Tom Yung Goong, a Thai Soup for Superior Cancer Fighting

According to researchers at Thailand's Kasetsart University and Japan's Kyoto and Kinki Universities, there may be a soup that has the ability to fight mesothelioma cancer. This “miracle” soup was discovered when researchers noticed that digestive and other cancers are lower in Thailand than in other countries. The combination of many common Thai spices that have beneficial health properties is what makes this soup so powerful. The soup contains:

  1. Shrimp contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that stimulates regeneration of cells, strengthens immune system which helps the body fight tumors
  2. Coriander stimulates appetite, soothes stomach upset, found to have anti-bacterial properties, contains dodecanal, a natural antibiotic protecting against food-borne illnesses (a common occurrence for cancer patients), anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer compounds
  3. Lemongrass treats colds and digestive issues
  4. Ginger aids digestion
  5. Turmeric anti-inflammatory with cancer-fighting properties

    Based on research of Tom Yung Goong soup, it was found it contains antioxidants 100 times more effective than others. It is worth trying if you are interested in using nutrition to boost your immune system. The soup may taste spicy so make sure you drink a lot of water when you eat it.

Mesothelioma is rare but devastating. According to the CDC, 2,669 new cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2022. Asbestos exposure is the only known cause — and compensation systems exist because exposure was widespread and preventable.

$6,142,500

Our client was a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma after having been exposed to asbestos-contaminated products.

She received $6,142,500 after attorneys' fees and expenses.

$5,939,010

Our 46-year-old client spent years demolishing and repairing buildings damaged by flood and fire, as well as doing boat repairs.
