how to cure lung related diseases at home

Home page >> Doctors >> Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr

Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr: "Do not underestimate symptoms like coughing, chest tightness, headaches, and difficulty breathing—they could be warning signs of serious lung diseases such as tuberculosis, COPD, or lung cancer. These conditions can drain your health and finances long before claiming your life..."

Urgent Warning! By the end of 2024, the hospital has already received over 2 million patients suffering from lung-related diseases. Of these, 60% were diagnosed at an advanced stage with severe symptoms, leading to high mortality rates. The majority, 73%, are men aged 40 and above, while the remaining are women of similar age. One crucial fact you need to know is that the mortality rate for lung-related diseases is as high as conditions like heart disease or cancer.

According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Philippines currently ranks third in the world for the prevalence of respiratory-related diseases, following China and Russia.

The main cause stems from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has weakened many people's immune systems, increasing the risk of respiratory-related illnesses beyond normal levels, coupled with a high number of smokers and severe air pollution contributing to the worsening situation, including tuberculosis (TB), COPD, and lung cancer. Unfortunately, many people are still unaware of the severity of the situation and lack the necessary awareness in preventing and managing these diseases.

Experts warn that without urgent measures to address these issues, the Philippines will face a serious public health crisis in the near future.

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.

- Reporter:

As far as I know, there are many diseases related to the lungs and the respiratory system. Could you please explain each type of disease, along with its symptoms and signs, so that people can be informed and check for themselves?

Dr. Vincent M. Balanag, Jr. shares valuable insights into the causes and dangers of respiratory-related diseases, along with methods for helping individuals over 40 who suffer from conditions such as tuberculosis, COPD, asthma, pneumonia, and lung cancer to manage and recover at home.

Dr. Vincent M. Balanag, Jr shares during a lecture at St. Luke's Medical Center *

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):
    - Symptoms: Shortness of breath, Chronic cough, possible phlegm, Wheezing or chest tightness, Chest pain and prolonged shortness of breath.

  • Pulmonary Fibrosis:
    - Symptoms: Chronic shortness of breath, especially with exertion, Chest pain, shallow breathing, Significant decline in lung function over time.
    - Causes: Resulting from prolonged lung damage leading to scarring and hardening of the lungs, often due to exposure to harmful chemicals or chronic infections.
  • Chronic Bronchitis:
    - Symptoms: Persistent cough with ongoing phlegm production, Shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness, Fatigue and frequent respiratory infections.
    - Causes: Common in smokers or those living in long-term exposure to polluted environments.

As a pulmonologist and research professor, I can point out some of the main reasons why the Philippines has the 3rd highest rate of respiratory diseases globally:

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr: 

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.

Since I don’t have enough time, I will just mention the most common respiratory diseases that people tend to suffer from.
please check the following symptoms yourself:

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr:

  •  the aftermath of COVID-19: It has weakened the immune system, increasing the risk of permanent lung damage, leading to a higher incidence of chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, and COPD even after recovery from the virus.

  •  Lack of awareness about the severity of the disease: Many people are not fully aware of the dangers of respiratory diseases and fail to seek early treatment when symptoms appear. This results in the condition worsening and becoming more difficult to manage compared to the initial stage.

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

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

- Reporter:

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr:

I have seen many patients who knew they were sick but did not seek medical attention, waiting until the disease had worsened and left dangerous symptoms before seeking treatment. By that time, it is often too late. The lung structure is irreversibly damaged and cannot be regenerated, leading to permanent loss of function and advanced stages where patients must rely on a ventilator to breathe. Subjectivity is the leading cause of death.

I don’t think they are being subjectivity about their condition; rather, they are afraid to go to the hospital, afraid of facing expensive healthcare services, and they may not have the financial means to afford it.

- Reporter:

Taking medicine is not the only solution, I will introduce you to a simple at-home treatment method. By following the full course, your lungs will be cleansed and function improved, aiding in the recovery of lung-related conditions.

- Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr:

LungBoost

"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."

Dr. Eric Tayag shares on TV:

I believe the most important question patients care about is whether it truly works, and how long they need to use it to get the best results.

- Reporter:

Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr pointed out important notes for using LungBoost and provided a home treatment plan that brings the best results.


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.

" Many patients who try LungBoost for the first time only take one can to save money. As a result, they initially feel much better—but then the symptoms come back and relapse occurs. When they want to continue the treatment, they have to place a new order from the beginning, which disrupts the healing process and wastes more time and money.
It’s important to understand: LungBoost is not an instant cure—it’s a deep recovery therapy that helps the lungs regenerate and heal naturally from within. That’s why it must be used consistently and seriously.
If you only have mild symptoms like cough and phlegm, one can may be enough. But if your condition is more severe—and you want faster recovery and to avoid relapse—choosing the right treatment plan of 2–3 cans, 3–5 cans, or even 5–10 cans depending on your condition is essential. "

To help patients complete the full treatment course, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) has partnered with the Philippine Lung Center to launch a discount program for first-time users of LungBoost. This partnership aims to make the product more accessible—especially for those suffering from lung-related illnesses who are in difficult financial situations—ensuring they receive the support needed to improve their quality of life. This effort reflects a firm belief that everyone deserves healthy lungs and the freedom to breathe without pain or discomfort caused by lung conditions.

This is partly because the product contains high concentrations of Nano Curcumin, Lactoferrin, and essential vitamins A, B1, B9, and rare B12, along with other ingredients. Combined with strict European manufacturing standards, this results in a limited product supply, so pre-order registration is required.

May bahagyang tamis at madaling inumin na lasa ng gatas na may kaaya-ayang amoy ng halamang gamot. Bumili ako ng 5 lata ayon sa reseta ng doktor, at mas nakamura talaga ako kumpara sa pagbili ng isang lata lang.

Pagpalain nawa kayo ng Diyos. Maraming salamat sa pagbibigay ng 50% diskwento para makabili kami ng produkto. Dati akong bumibili nito sa lumang presyo na ₱3,200 kada lata, pero patuloy ko pa rin itong binili dahil sobrang epektibo talaga.

Maraming salamat sa Department of Health sa pagdala ng produktong ito sa Pilipinas at pagbebenta nito sa abot-kayang presyo. Dati, kailangan ko pang magpabili sa mga kamag-anak ko sa Amerika dahil sobrang epektibo nito.

Taos-pusong nagpapasalamat ako kay @Dr. Vincent Balanag Jr. sa pagrekomenda ng LungBoost para sa paggamot ng aking tuberculosis (TB). Narito ang pinakabagong chest X-ray ko at ikinagagalak kong ibahagi ito sa lahat. Natapos ko na ang buong 3–5 can treatment course at malaki na ang improvement—malinis na ang baga ko at ang pinakamahalaga, wala na ang sakit na dati kong nararamdaman. Patuloy pa rin akong umiinom ng LungBoost araw-araw para mapanatili ang kalusugan ko. Talagang nakahinga ako nang maluwag dahil hindi ko na kailangang sumailalim sa operasyon, pero kita-kita naman ang resulta.

Mayroon akong tuberculosis at gumamit ako ng 3–5 lata ng LungBoost. Malaki na ang naging pagbabago sa kondisyon ng baga ko. Sabi ng doktor ko, kung magpapatuloy pa ako ng isang linggo, malaki ang posibilidad na bumalik na sa normal ang baga ko. Para sa akin, ang paggamit ng LungBoost ay mas tipid at mas maginhawa kumpara sa pag-opera.

Bakit ngayon ko lang ito nabasa? Tatlong buwan na ang nakalipas mula nang ma-diagnose ako ng doktor na may tuberculosis at pneumonia. Inirekomenda niya ang LungBoost bilang bahagi ng paggamot. Pero dahil gusto kong makatipid, hindi ko sineryoso ang payo at hindi ko ito tinuloy. Ang resulta? Isang linggo lang ang nakalipas, napilitan akong sumailalim sa operasyon na sampung beses mas mahal dahil lumala ang kondisyon ko at nagkaroon ng komplikasyon. Ngayon, hindi lang pera ang nawala sa akin—pati kalusugan ko. Taos-puso kong payo para sa mga nasa parehong sitwasyon: Huwag mag-atubili, huwag magtipid! Magpagamot agad dahil kapag huli na, mas malaki ang magiging gastos.
