Leo Flynt, a resident of Florida, suffering from mesothelioma cancer accused an asbestos suit in Madison County Circuit Court May 22, asserting his disease was caused in an unfair manner.
Flynt was actually employed as an electrician from 1946 through 1977 at different locations in Florida, Indiana and Illinois. He alleges that during the course of his employment and during home and automotive repairs he was exposed to and inhaled asbestos fibers emanating from specific products he was working with and around.
Flynt names 59 defendant corporations including Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, Bondex International, CBS, Federal-Mogul Asbestos Personal Trust, General Electric, General Motors, Goodyear, Honeywell International, Ingersoll-Rand, and International Paper etc.
He lays claim on defendants that they knew or should have known that the asbestos fibers contained in their products had a poisonous, lethal and highly harmful effect upon the health of people.
The case has been attributed to Circuit Court Judge Daniel Stack.

Mesothelioma Survivor Speaks
Mesothelioma survivor, Paul Kraus and his wife Sue spoke to another inspiring teleconference on June 06. They addressed over 30 newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients and their relatives. During the session, they talked about Paul’s diagnosis and prognosis, the physical treatments he pursued, the mental and spiritual approaches he used, working with doctors, and the caregiver’s perspective.
Paul was diagnosed in 1997, with widely disseminated mesothelioma cancer. Paul’s doctors expressed that his cancer was “terminal” and that he should start putting his activities one by one. Rather than giving up, he made his own path to remedial using many alternative and integrative therapies and modalities. At the moment, after 11 years of his “death sentence” diagnosis, Mr. Kraus is happily living.
Paul also wrote a book about his healing journey and named it “Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient’s Guide”.
