“Don’t underestimate coughing, chest pain, headaches, or shortness of breath — these aren’t just signs of lung disease, but indicators that your BRAIN is lacking oxygen.Weak lungs deplete the brain, leading to fatigue, memory loss, sleep disturbances, and an increased risk of early stroke.Lung disease is a silent ‘brain-suffocating’ disease that works day by day.”

URGENT WARNING! By the end of 2025, hospitals had recorded over 2 million people with lung disease, but in reality, these were 2 million cases of brain oxygen deprivation. Of these, 60% were detected at a late stage, when the brain had already begun to weaken with severe symptoms such as persistent fatigue, confusion, insomnia, and a high risk of stroke. Notably, 73% were men over 40, with the remainder being women of the same age – the primary breadwinners of their families. A surprising fact: the mortality rate from brain oxygen deprivation stemming from lung disease is as high as that from heart disease and cancer.

According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Philippines currently ranks third in the world for respiratory diseases, after China and Russia.
But even more worrying is that millions of people are living with chronic brain hypoxia due to weakened lungs.
The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which weakened the immune system, combined with high smoking rates and severe air pollution, have increased diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), COPD, and lung cancer—meaning the brain is being "suffocated of oxygen" every day, leading to fatigue, memory loss, sleep disorders, and an increased risk of stroke.
Sadly, many people still don't realize:
They are not only suffering from lung disease, but are entering a stage of silent brain hypoxia.
Experts warn that without urgent measures, the Philippines will soon face a public health crisis of brain damage due to hypoxia stemming from lung disease.

Lung Center of the Philippines 

Treatment and prevention of lung diseases and diseases related to the respiratory system

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and interview Dr. Vincent M. Balanag, Jr. about these conditions while he is teaching at St. Luke’s Medical Center.

Vincent M. Balanag, Jr. is an established medical practitioner in the field of Pulmonary Medicine. Currently, he is the Executive Director IV of the Lung Center of the Philippines, one of the hospitals enlisted as a referral and testing center for COVID-19 patients.

Dr. Vincent M. Balanag, Jr. shared important warnings:
Respiratory diseases not only damage the lungs, but also cause chronic oxygen deprivation in the brain – the root cause of persistent fatigue, memory loss, sleep disorders, and stroke risk.
He also introduced methods to help people over 40 with tuberculosis, COPD, asthma, pneumonia, and lung cancer self-manage at home, aiming to improve lung function and restore the necessary oxygen supply to the brain, thereby supporting overall recovery.

- Reporter:

As far as I know, there are many diseases related to the lungs and respiratory system, but the most dangerous commonality is that they all cause chronic oxygen deprivation in the brain.
Please explain each type of disease in detail, along with signs indicating oxygen deprivation in the brain such as: persistent fatigue, headaches, dizziness, memory loss, insomnia, difficulty concentrating… so that people can recognize these symptoms early and check their health before dangerous complications occur.

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr: 

Due to time constraints, I will only address the most common conditions that cause oxygen deprivation to the brain due to impaired lung function – a silent cause of fatigue, memory loss, and stroke risk.
Please check for the following signs to determine if your brain is experiencing oxygen deprivation:

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr:

Additionally, there are two very important factors contributing to the rising number of people affected by lung and respiratory diseases: 

- Reporter:

Really? I never thought the consequences could be so severe.

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr:

I've met many patients who knew they had the disease but were complacent, not seeking early medical attention, only going to the hospital when their condition had become serious and dangerous symptoms appeared.
By then, not only were the lungs irreversibly damaged, but the brain had also suffered severe consequences from prolonged oxygen deprivation. Brain cells began to weaken, memory deteriorated, consciousness became disordered, and in many cases, patients had to rely on ventilators to survive.
Complacency is the leading cause of permanent brain damage and premature death.

- Reporter:

I don't think they were careless about their health, but rather they were afraid of hospitals and treatment costs. However, while they delayed treatment, their brains were being deprived of oxygen day by day due to weakened lungs. By the time they arrived at the hospital, not only were their lungs severely damaged, but their brains had also been seriously affected by prolonged oxygen deprivation.

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr.

Taking medication isn't the only solution. I'll introduce you to a simple home remedy that can improve lung function and restore the necessary oxygen supply to the brain. When the full treatment is completed, the lungs are cleansed, oxygen exchange improves, thereby helping the brain overcome oxygen deprivation and safely supporting recovery from lung-related illnesses.

- Reporter:

Can the doctor share more details about that at-home treatment method? I believe many people will benefit from it.

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr:

The method I want to talk about is a specialized nutritional method for the lungs called LungBoost.

LungBoost

Dr. Eric Tayag shares on TV:

"Most people suffering from lung and respiratory diseases often face these issues due to exposure to harmful substances or viruses, which weaken the immune system and lead to prolonged inflammation. The primary cause lies in the body's deficiency of essential nutrients that play a crucial role in reducing inflammation, boosting immunity, and regenerating lung tissue.

Especially for those who have previously contracted COVID-19, regularly supplementing with nutrients that support lung health, reduce lung inflammation, and prevent infections is essential. Key nutrients such as Nano Curcumin, Lactoferrin, and vitamins like A, B1, B9, and B12 have been proven effective in improving lung health.





Currently, the only way to comprehensively supplement these essential nutrients is by using the nutritional supplement LungBoost, a product that has been verified and recommended by the Department of Health (DOH). LungBoost not only protects the lungs but also provides long-term support for respiratory health."

- Reporter:

I think the most important question we have is how to determine the treatment plan for each individual and how long it will take for recovery. Additionally, how can we purchase this product?

1. Treatment regimen for each specific condition:
- According to the recommendation of the Department of Health (DOH), individuals over 37 years old experiencing lung-related symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, productive cough, wheezing or chest tightness, chest pain when taking deep breaths, headaches, low-grade fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, excessive night sweats, and rapid weight loss should follow a treatment regimen of at least 3 to 5 cans, taken twice daily after meals. For those with chronic lung conditions lasting more than 4 months accompanied by shortness of breath, a regimen of 5 to 10 cans is recommended. Strict adherence to the appropriate treatment regimen will ensure the fastest and best results.

2. LungBoost is not sold in pharmacies:
- Lungboost can effectively support lung health after just one suitable course of treatment. When using 3-5 cans, the product improves respiratory function and reduces the risk of other related conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This means individuals will no longer need medications for these conditions. Therefore, pharmacies and sellers of these medications will be directly affected by lost sales—something no pharmacy would want.

3. LungBoost is produced in very limited quantities and must be pre-ordered:
- Partly because the product contains a high concentration of Nano Curcumin, Lactoferrin, and essential vitamins A, B1, B9, B12, along with rare ingredients, combined with Europe’s strict production standards, the quantity produced is very limited. The main reason for pre-order registration is to prevent fraudsters and resellers from exploiting the product and selling it at inflated prices.

Clinical research results after a 3-5 can treatment course of 8,000 patients.

To support the "clean lungs" campaign, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) has partnered with St. Luke's Medical Center to provide additional products for patients using Lungboost. This partnership aims to make the product more accessible, especially for individuals with lung-related conditions, ensuring they receive the necessary support to improve their quality of life. This effort reflects the belief that everyone deserves healthy lungs to breathe freely without enduring the pain and discomfort caused by lung-related illnesses.

2. Using a treatment regimen of 3 to 5 cans or more will provide better lung protection and prevent recurrence.

4. Free shipping on all forms for all patients

5. 100% refund if not cured after one course of treatment
