Despite his cancer, Paul Kraus continues to thrive and enjoys a good quality of life. His latest book, "Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide," was written based on his experience surviving cancer despite having rejected conventional therapies. Paul has had no chemotherapy, radiation or surgery because his doctors explained that these therapies were merely palliative and could severely impact the quality of his life without having a significant affect on his length of life. Instead he adopted lifestyle changes and used a variety of integrative therapies that included: a reformed vegetarian diet, intravenous vitamin C, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various herbs such as Cat's Claw, among others.
