I can no longer remember when my father started coughing so much or how his symptoms began to get worse.
But I still remember that day vividly, October 8, 2018, when my father suddenly experienced severe shortness of breath. His face turned purple because he couldn't get enough air, his chest heaved continuously, and he tried with all his might to breathe in but still couldn't speak a complete sentence. I was terrified, and together with my family, I rushed him to the emergency room, with only one thought in my mind: Please, let nothing happen to my father.
The doctors immediately took my father into the emergency room. I only had time to see the medical staff put an oxygen mask on him and continuously monitor him to manage his condition.
Everything happened so quickly. My heart was burning with anxiety, and all I could do was keep praying to God, hoping that my father would be okay.
A little while later, the doctor called our family in to discuss his condition. He explained that my father's condition was extremely serious: his SpO2 had dropped to just 78%, and his carbon dioxide levels were elevated, causing him to develop acute respiratory failure. The doctor determined that my father was experiencing a severe acute exacerbation of COPD. He needed to be hospitalized for respiratory support and close monitoring because his condition could continue to deteriorate. Then the doctor placed my father's old medical records in front of me, along with two X-ray films side by side, showing us how severely his lungs had deteriorated. The doctor asked why our family had not brought my father back for follow-up appointments, why he had not returned to get more medication, why he had not listened to the advice to quit smoking, and why he had not taken his medication as prescribed...
I was completely stunned as I heard those questions. I turned to look at my mother, and she had the same expression on her face as I did. And I also realized one thing.
My father had been suffering from COPD for a long time, for at least one year according to his medical records, but no one in our family knew about it.
He had hidden his condition from the entire family. He had completely ignored the doctor's warnings.
I remembered that, over the past year, my father had continued smoking regularly.
He continued working as a carpenter, being exposed to wood dust every day and constantly inhaling chemicals from paint, glue, solvents, and other substances. These things gradually accumulated in my father's lungs until this very day.
It was only when the doctor told us that we learned how my father's habits and occupation had affected his health. The doctors tried to treat my father with medication, respiratory support, and close monitoring for complications. But his condition was too severe.
His respiratory function had deteriorated severely, and the accompanying cardiovascular complications made his condition even more complicated. His health continued to weaken. Despite the doctors' efforts to save him, his condition could no longer be reversed. Then the day I feared the most finally came. After a month of intensive treatment, my father passed away, leaving us behind.
Every time I remember that day, the pain is still unbearable. Just a few months earlier, my father had still been going to work, still smoking, still talking and laughing with our family. The sound of his coughing still echoed throughout our home.
No one in my family ever thought that the time we took my father to the hospital would be the last time we would be by his side.
That thought continues to haunt me. I keep being consumed by regret and remorse: If only I had paid more attention to my father's health sooner, if only I had realized that those persistent coughing fits were not just an ordinary cough, would things have turned out differently?
I never want to go through that feeling again.
So I began paying more attention to my own health, my family's health, and the health of the people around me.Then I suddenly realized that my husband also smoked heavily, and recently, he had started coughing more frequently. He sometimes complained of coughing up phlegm, occasionally experienced shortness of breath, and became easily exhausted while working.
This time, I didn't hesitate. I took him to see a doctor immediately.
Fortunately, he was only showing signs of COPD, and the doctor said that as long as he took medication, attended regular follow-up appointments, quit smoking, avoided secondhand smoke, and stayed away from sources of smoke and dust, he would be fine.
I trusted that advice and strictly monitored his efforts to quit smoking. I also made sure he took his prescribed medication and changed some of his daily habits.
I thought that as long as he took the prescribed medication, quit smoking, and changed his lifestyle, everything would get better. But then I realized that his coughing showed no signs of improving. He was still exhausted while working and continued to complain of frequent shortness of breath. Most recently, I noticed that he had to stop and rest while climbing the stairs.
Whenever I looked at him, my heart burned with anxiety. Every time he coughed, the feeling of helplessness I had experienced outside my father's hospital room came rushing back.
I threw myself into researching everything I could about COPD, everything I could learn and read. I studied medical articles on respiratory health, research on lung cells, and the biological plaques that cling tightly to the inside of the bronchi.
And I realized something, something the doctor had never told me: quitting smoking, changing lifestyle habits, and taking medication according to the doctor's treatment plan could only prevent new harmful substances from entering the body. But these measures could not remove the biofilm layer of mucus or regenerate severely damaged lung tissue cells from within.
Ordinary products only relieve coughing on the surface. They cannot penetrate deeply enough to break down biofilms and nourish lung tissue from the root. That was why my husband's condition showed no improvement, even though he had quit smoking, followed a strict diet, taken medication, and attended regular follow-up appointments.
Because we were only treating the symptoms while forgetting the root cause. I continued searching for a real solution, one that had to meet four criteria:
It had to break down and dissolve old mucus buildup. It had to repair and regenerate damaged air sacs at risk of developing scar tissue. It had to restore the respiratory immune system, helping the lungs fight bacteria, cigarette smoke, and fine dust particles. And it had to be easily absorbed so that older adults or people with weak lungs could absorb it readily without causing stomach discomfort.
And I found a specialized formula for the lungs: LungBoost Colostrum Milk.
The product combines colostrum imported from the United States, Lactoferrin, Nano Curcumin, and precious herbs that support lung health. It contains no lactose and is extremely gentle on the stomach.
I immediately ordered it for my husband.
He drank two glasses every day, regularly, in the morning and evening.
And then, a miracle happened:
After 7 days: He said he felt as though the thick patches of mucus stuck in his chest were breaking apart, and it had been a long time since he had been able to breathe in and out so comfortably.
After 4 weeks: I personally noticed that his nighttime coughing had almost completely disappeared, and the wheezing was no longer present. His SpO2 readings at his follow-up appointment reached 98%, a number that made us incredibly happy.
After 10 weeks: We went for another checkup, and the doctor looked at us in disbelief. The cloudy areas in his lungs had decreased by 80%, and his airways were clear!
I couldn't hold back my tears of joy, and at that moment, I knew I would never have to go through that same heartbreaking pain again.
I still carry the pain of losing my father, and I still regret not paying attention to his health sooner.
But I also feel fortunate that this time, I was able to save my husband's health.
I want to share this story with the center in the hope that more people who are neglecting their health will start paying attention to their own well-being and that of those around them. Otherwise, the pain and suffering caused by illness may leave you with lifelong regret.

The story of Mithila Rehnuma conveys a very practical and important message. She lost her father, but she was able to save her husband.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lung diseases are the leading cause of death – 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 12–21% 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.

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.

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?

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?

What symptoms are easily misunderstood but are actually signs of lung disease?

If the patient does not receive timely treatment, what complications can the above diseases cause?

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

- 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.

"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."

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.
