Treatment and prevention of lung diseases and diseases related to the respiratory system
LUNG CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES
"Lung rehabilitation solution recommended by experts!"
The Department of Health and the WHO have announced a method to completely cure Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, COPD, Lung Cancer without the need for medication or expensive medical services.
Professor Tobias Welte: "Symptoms such as cough, chest tightness, headache and shortness of breath, coughing up bloodβthey are warning signs of serious lung diseases such as tuberculosis, COPD or lung cancer, and they also cause physical and financial distress - increasing the risk of death for the patient."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lung diseases are the leading cause of death β especially in developing countries.
Lung diseases are among the most serious global health burdens today:
- More than 3 million people die each year because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- 1 person dies every 30 seconds because of asthma, pneumonia, or lung cancer.
- Air pollution, cigarette smoking, and toxic environments are "silent killers" that are silently eroding the lungs of billions of people.
In the Philippines, lung disease is also a pressing public health problem:
Over 20% of people smoke - putting our country in the group with the highest lung disease rates in Southeast Asia.
COPD affects 12β21% of the adult population, predominantly in polluted urban areas.
Lung cancer and acute pneumonia are the leading causes of death among non-infectious diseases.
Air pollution in large cities (such as Manila, Cebu) far exceeds WHO's recommended levels - contributing to increased risk of lung function decline.
Experts warn that without urgent measures to address these issues, the Philippines will face a serious public health crisis in the near future.

Urgent Warning! By the end of 2025, 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.
We were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and interview Professor Tobias Welte about these conditions while he was on a long business trip with his colleagues at St. Luke's Medical Center.
Professor Tobias Welte 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.
Professor Tobias Welte (Germany) - President of the European Respiratory Society (ERS), one of the most prestigious organizations in the respiratory field.

- Reporter:
Hello Professor, I understand that during your business trip to the Philippines, in addition to exchanging experiences with domestic doctors, you also actively participated in training courses and guided young doctors on the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases. Could you share more specifically so that we, readers and patients, can understand the importance and danger of lung diseases?
- Professor Tobias Welte:
Oh! Of course. As you know from the COVID-19 pandemic, weakening the immune system of many people increases the risk of respiratory-related diseases beyond normal levels, with high numbers of smokers and severe air pollution contributing to the worsening of the situation.
On January 1, 2025, after New Year's festivities, the AQI (Air Quality Index) in Manila reached 218, classified as "very unhealthy", with PM2.5 (Particulate Matter) concentrations more than 15 times the WHO safe limit.
High concentrations of PM2.5 can penetrate deep into the lungs and blood, causing respiratory and cardiovascular problems, and exacerbating chronic diseases such as asthma, COPD, and increasing the risk of lung cancer.β

- Reporter:
As far as I know, there are many diseases related to the lungs and respiratory system. Can the professor explain each disease, along with its symptoms and signs, so that people can be informed and check themselves?
- Professor Tobias Welte:
There are many diseases related to the lungs. I will tell you some of the most common diseases that people often suffer. You should read carefully and check the symptoms to see if you are included here or not.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):
- Symptoms: Shortness of breath, Chronic cough, possible phlegm, Wheezing or chest tightness, Chest pain and prolonged shortness of breath.
- Causes: Primarily caused by smoking and prolonged exposure to air pollution or harmful gases. - Tuberculosis (TB):
- Symptoms: Cough lasting more than 2 weeks, Sputum possibly containing blood, Mild fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, Excessive night sweating and rapid weight loss.
- Causes: Caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, usually spread through the air. - Lung Cancer:
- Symptoms: Persistent cough that may be accompanied by chest pain, Pain with deep breathing or coughing, Shortness of breath or wheezing, Rapid weight loss and persistent fatigue.
- Causes: Primarily caused by smoking, but also linked to other factors such as exposure to harmful smoke or pollutants. - Pneumonia:
- Symptoms: Fever, chills and excessive sweating, Cough with phlegm or possibly blood, Chest pain during breathing or coughing, Shortness of breath, rapid and shallow breathing.
- Causes: Caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections invading the lungs. - Asthma:
- Symptoms: Wheezing, especially at night or early morning, Chest tightness or discomfort, Difficulty breathing, especially during exertion or exposure to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander.
- Causes: Allergic reactions or airway irritants such as pollution or harmful gases. - Silicosis:
- Symptoms: Prolonged difficulty breathing, especially in occupations exposed to harmful dust, Persistent dry cough, Chest pain, Progressive lung function decline over time.
- Causes: Caused by prolonged exposure to harmful dust such as silica, asbestos, coal, or other hazardous occupational exposures. - Pulmonary Fibrosis:

What symptoms are easily misunderstood but are actually signs of lung disease?
- Professor Tobias Welte:
- Slight cough at night, thought it was due to cold
- Shortness of breath when walking fast
- Frequent wheezing, sounds like there is a hiss in the chest
- Fatigue, weight loss for unknown reasons
- Shortness of breath when walking fast
- Frequent wheezing, sounds like there is a hiss in the chest
- Fatigue, weight loss for unknown reasons
This is not flu. This is the lung's cry for help.
- Reporter:
If the patient does not receive timely treatment, what complications can the above diseases cause?
- Professor Tobias Welte:
Very serious. Some serious complications include:
- Acute respiratory failure, requiring ventilator.
- Pulmonary fibrosis, causing the lungs to lose their ability to expand.
- Lung cancer late stage.
- Right heart failure (due to increased pulmonary artery pressure).
- High risk of death if pneumonia is combined with underlying diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Acute respiratory failure, requiring ventilator.
- Pulmonary fibrosis, causing the lungs to lose their ability to expand.
- Lung cancer late stage.
- Right heart failure (due to increased pulmonary artery pressure).
- High risk of death if pneumonia is combined with underlying diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Really? I never thought the consequences could be so severe.
- Reporter:
- Professor Tobias Welte:
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 donβt 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.
- Professor Tobias Welte:
- Reporter:
Can the doctor share more details about that at-home treatment method? I believe many people will benefit from it.
- Professor Tobias Welte:
The method I want to talk about is a specialized nutritional method for the lungs called LungBoost.
This product is specifically designed to address lung-related issues. It is manufactured in the USA and FDA-approved for safety.

- Contains alkaloids that inhibit the cough center in the bronchi, reducing excessive airway constriction reflexes and has anti-inflammatory properties. - Platycodon grandiflorus extract:
- Contains Platycodin D, which helps to thin mucus, reduce inflammation, and clear the airways. - Tanger peel extract:
- Reduces phlegm, reduces cough, aids digestion. - Ophiopogon japonicus extract:
- Nourishes the lungs, soothes the throat, reduces chronic cough. - Loquat leaf extract:
- Contains Ursolic Acid and Oleanolic Acid, which inhibit pulmonary fibrosis and reduce mucus secretion. - Fritillaria cirrhosa powder:
- Helps loosen phlegm, reduces inflammation, improves respiratory function.
Specialized Herbal Extracts for Lung Health:
- Hedera Helix Extract β Features imported, standardized Hedera Helix extract that preserves the full content of pure Alpha-Hederin. This helps relax bronchial smooth muscles, activate natural mucus-clearing mechanisms, and soothe the respiratory tract after just a few usesβoffering absolute safety.
- Stemona Tuberosa Extract β Rich in valuable alkaloids such as Stemonine and Tuberostemonine, which act as natural antibiotics; it directly inhibits the cough reflex in the central nervous system while providing antibacterial properties and deeply cleansing the respiratory tractβall without causing drug tolerance or side effects.
- Platycodon grandiflorus extract β The Platycodon D molecular extraction technology works by stimulating the secretion of respiratory tract fluids, naturally thinning and expelling thick phlegm. It also forms a soothing biofilm that reduces inflammation and protects the throat mucosa from bacterial attacks.
- Tangerine peel extract β A flavonoid complex rich in pure Nobiletin and Tangeretin that acts as a biological modulator; it promotes natural gastrointestinal motility to relieve food stagnation while relaxing bronchial smooth muscle and inhibiting excessive mucus secretion, thereby instantly clearing the airways and providing soothing relief.
- Loquat leaf extract: β An essence rich in bioactive Ursolic Acid that not only thins and expels thick phlegm but also directly inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines; it rapidly soothes and repairs throat mucosa damaged by prolonged coughing while strengthening the lung's protective barrier.
- Hedera Helix Extract β Widely known in respiratory support formulas in Europe, ivy leaves contain natural saponins that help thin thick mucus clinging to the respiratory tract. When phlegm becomes thinner, the body can expel it more easily through the natural cough reflex. This helps clear the airways, reduces chest tightness, and supports more efficient breathing. For those who frequently cough with phlegm, have bronchitis, or COPD, ivy leaves help reduce the burden of prolonged mucus buildup in the lungs.
- Stemona Tuberosa Extract β Long used in traditional Eastern medicine as an herbal remedy to soothe the respiratory tract. Stemona tuberosa works by reducing irritation in the bronchial mucosa, thereby relieving persistent coughs that cause insomnia and physical exhaustion. When the frequency of coughing decreases, the body has better conditions for recovery, while also limiting the continuous energy depletion caused by persistent coughing fits.
- Platycodon grandiflorus extract β Platycodon grandiflorus is considered one of the most famous medicinal herbs for the respiratory system in traditional medicine. This ingredient supports the transport and elimination of accumulated mucus in the bronchi, helping to naturally cleanse the airways. In addition, Platycodon grandiflorus is known for its ability to soothe irritated throat and bronchial mucosa, thus helping patients feel more comfortable when breathing.
- Tangerine peel extract β Tangerine peel contains many bioactive plant compounds, especially natural flavonoids. In traditional medicine, tangerine peel is often used to help loosen phlegm, reduce chest tightness, and improve airflow in the respiratory tract. For people with chronic lung diseases, reducing mucus buildup can help keep airways clear, thereby supporting better gas exchange.
- Loquat leaf extract: β Loquat leaves have been used for hundreds of years in traditional remedies to support lung health. This herb is renowned for its ability to soothe the throat, reduce airway irritation, and help control persistent coughs. In addition, the natural antioxidants in loquat leaves help protect cells from oxidative stress β a common factor in people with chronic respiratory diseases.
Immune-Boosting and Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients
- Colostrum:
- Contains natural antibodies (IgG, IgA) to enhance immunity and fight respiratory infections. - Nano curcumin:
- A highly absorbable form of curcumin.
- Reduces inflammation and helps heal lung and respiratory mucosal damage. - Lactoferrin:
- An antibacterial and antiviral protein that protects lung tissues and boosts immunity.
"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."
Professor Tobias Welte shares:
- 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?
There are 3 things you need to know before using LungBoost
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 salesβsomething 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 Europeβs 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.

I sincerely want to thank @Professor Tobias Welte for recommending LungBoost to me for the treatment of Tuberculosis (TB). Here is my latest chest X-ray result, and I am so happy to share it with everyone. After just 2 weeks of using Lungboost, my lungs have been significantly cleaned, and most importantly, I no longer feel the pain I used to experience. I continue to use Lungboost daily to maintain my health. I truly feel relieved that I didnβt need surgery, yet I see such clear results.

I have tuberculosis and have been using LungBoost for 2 weeks, and my lungs have shown significant improvement. My doctor mentioned that with this progress, I only need to continue using it for another week, and my lungs will return to their original state. I find using Lungboost more cost-effective and convenient compared to surgery.

Why am I only reading this now? Three months ago, my doctor diagnosed me with tuberculosis and pneumonia and recommended LungBoost for treatment. However, wanting to save money, I ignored the advice and didnβt take it seriously. As a result, just a week ago, I had to spend ten times more on surgery due to my condition worsening with complications. Now, Iβve not only lost money but also my health. My sincere advice to anyone in a similar situation: Donβt hesitate, donβt be stingy! Seek treatment as soon as possible, because if you delay, the costs will be much higher.
