Dr. Gerardo Cornelio: "Cancer is no longer a death sentence if patients receive proper nutritional care - Specialist reveals the secret to help patients recover better!"

🚨 Urgent Warning:
In the Philippines, cancer remains the leading cause of death, claiming the lives of thousands every year. According to statistics, around 182,600 Filipinos are diagnosed with cancer annually, and more than 122,700 do not survive.

A painful truth that must be said:

Cancer doesn’t just attack the body β€” it slowly drains one’s health, spirit, and finances.

But what many people don’t realize is:
πŸ‘‰ Proper nutrition can be a powerful β€œsupport weapon” in the battle against cancer.
A specialized nutritional regimen, designed specifically for cancer patients, not only helps improve health, inhibit cancer cells, and reduce the risk of metastasis. It also enhances the body's resistance, prolongs life, and restores stem cells.

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio Very rarely gives interviews to the media. Because he only wants to focus on research and treatment for patients. But today, our group of reporters is very lucky to have the professor spend some time answering some questions that cancer patients across the country have been very interested in recently.

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio - He is an Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of the Philippines - Manila and former Chairman of the Department of Medicine at San Juan de Dios Hospital, Pasay City. He is currently the Director of the Cancer Institute at St. Luke's Global City Medical Center, Taguig City. According to him: "ANYONE CAN MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH AND EXTEND THEIR LIFESPAN DURING CANCER TREATMENT". This helps focus on providing special and essential nutrients for patients to improve their overall health during cancer treatment, reduce stress, fatigue and sleep better, increase appetite and prevent body exhaustion, compensate for excessive muscle loss due to the destruction of tumors, promote the body's recovery and self-healing process, and regulate metabolism.

Reporter:
What would an ideal nutrition plan look like for a cancer patient, especially one with lung cancer?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
The diet should be energy-rich, high in easily digestible protein like whey, and include vital vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, selenium, and zinc. Foods should be soft, easy to digest, and ideally in drinkable form for patients with low energy or poor appetite. The plan must match the patient’s treatment and condition.
Reporter:
Can you recommend specific foods or nutritional products for patients who feel nauseous, tired, or struggle to eat?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
In such cases, medically-formulated nutritional milk for cancer patients is extremely helpful. These products are liquid, easily absorbed, and provide complete nutrition in just one or two servings. They should be sugar-free, lactose-free, and clinically tested for cancer care.
Reporter:
Dr. Cornelio, cancers like lung, liver, colon, breast, and cervical cancer are rising sharply in the Philippines. From your perspective, what makes these diseases so dangerous?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
The concerning part is that most cancers develop silently in the early stages. By the time they are diagnosed, the disease is often already advanced and harder to treat. Cancer not only claims lives, but also severely impacts health, mental well-being, and financial stability. Cancers like lung, liver, and colon have high mortality rates if not detected early.
IReporter:
Many patients report rapid weight loss, extreme fatigue, and even physical collapse during treatment. Why is that?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
That’s a very common issue. Chemotherapy and radiation often cause nausea, appetite loss, and taste changesβ€”making it hard for patients to eat. Meanwhile, cancer cells consume energy rapidly. The result is weight loss, muscle loss, and weakness. Without proper nutritional support, some patients may have to pause treatment because their bodies simply can’t keep up.
Reporter:
Do different types of cancerβ€”like breast cancer, cervical cancer, or colon cancerβ€”require different nutritional approaches?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
Yes, there are differences. For example, breast cancer patients may need to avoid certain hormones. Colon or liver cancer patients often face digestive issues. But across the board, patients need energy, high-quality protein, and essential nutrients to maintain strength and immunity during treatment.
Reporter:
When it comes to lung cancerβ€”which has one of the highest death ratesβ€”what are the early warning signs? Why is it usually detected so late?
Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
A persistent cough, coughing up blood, dull chest pain, rapid weight loss, and shortness of breath are key warning signs. Unfortunately, many people mistake these symptoms for lingering effects of COVID or a common lung infection. By the time they seek medical help, the tumor may have already grown or spread.


Reporter:
Nowadays, many patients follow strict dietsβ€”cutting out meat, milk, and carbs completely. Does that affect their treatment?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio:
I see that a lot. Patients believe fasting or vegan diets will "starve the cancer," but in reality, they’re starving their own bodies. When the body lacks nutrients, patients become weak and immunocompromised, making it harder to tolerate treatment. Nutrition must be science-basedβ€”not based on myths.

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio: In the Philippines, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death, with hundreds of thousands of new cases each year. Worryingly, most patients only discover the disease when it is in the late stages or has metastasized. Treatment is both costly and leaves many sequelae, while the possibility of recurrence is still very high. I will talk about 5 common types of cancer in our country today.

1. Breast Cancer










2. Lung cancer – NSCLC








3. Colorectal cancer









4. Primary liver cancer (HCC)









5. Cervical cancer


These are all diseases with very high mortality and metastasis rates, especially when the disease is only detected at a late stage - which is a common condition in our country.

The main causes of these cancers often come from many factors: genetics, unhealthy diet, lack of green vegetables, smoking, drinking alcohol, viral infections such as HPV (causing cervical cancer) or HBV (causing liver cancer), exposure to toxic substances, environmental pollution and lack of regular health check-ups.

According to reports from the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the mortality and metastasis rates of these diseases are at an alarming level. Lung cancer has a mortality rate of over 75%, with over 70% of patients being diagnosed with metastasis. Liver cancer (HCC) kills over 80% of cases and often has no obvious symptoms until the late stages. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but if detected late, the mortality rate exceeds 40%. Colon cancer has a mortality rate of over 35%, and is highly likely to metastasize to the liver or lungs if not treated early. Cervical cancer, while preventable through vaccination and screening, still has a mortality rate of 25–30%.

In terms of cost, each cycle of chemotherapy or radiotherapy in the Philippines costs an average of β‚±200,000 to β‚±1 million, and most patients have to undergo multiple cycles. In cases where the disease has metastasized, treatment can last from 6 months to several years, and the total cost can be up to β‚±2–5 million or more. This does not include additional costs such as surgery, supportive medications, post-treatment care, and repeat testing – creating a huge economic burden for patients and their families.

What solutions help patients undergoing cancer treatment reduce stress, promote overall health and enhance the immune system?

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio, Oncology Specialist at St. Luke's Medical Center

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio: We, together with professors from Japan and the United States, had a headache when researching and carefully screening all the effects and consequences for cancer patients using drugs before, during and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Understanding the causes and problems that patients are facing, along with research recognized by the World Medical Association, we have successfully researched a line of milk for cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment, helping the body eliminate side effects while fully absorbing all nutrients and helping patients recover quickly after treatment. Not only that, it also helps completely eliminate its dangerous complications and metastases.

In Japan, more than 10,000 cancer patients participated in the trial. They said they continued to experience side effects that made them feel extremely anxious. After using this milk, the patients recovered quickly and returned to their daily lives. Their bodies gradually change, they eat well, sleep well and are mentally relaxed.

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio: The supportive therapy for cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment that I am referring to here is using a new product called MediHope+. Currently, in the Philippines, only this product fully meets what the body needs during cancer treatment. MediHope+ has been researched and developed in Japan and the United States since 2021. This product contains about 40 active ingredients extracted from nature that are very good for the body, helping cancer patients Provide essential nutrients to help patients have more health to fight cancer treatment, reduce stress, fatigue and sleep better, Increase appetite and prevent body exhaustion, compensate for excessive energy consumption caused by tumors, Help promote the body's recovery and self-healing process, Regulate metabolism. Extend the patient's lifespan.

The most important ingredients to mention are: Celastrus hindsii extract, Ganoderma mushroom extract, Panax notoginseng, Omega 3 (DHA, EPA), Nano Curcumin, FOS (Fructooligosaccharides)

In addition to the main ingredients mentioned above, MediHope+ also contains Maltodextrine, Whey protein, Isomalt, MCT, Nano curcumin, Nucleotides, L-Arginine, Taurine, L-Lysine HCL, Choline. All of these ingredients help the body absorb nutrients well, limiting side effects during treatment as well as recovery after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Along with other vitamins that support the body to gradually recover health such as: Vitamins and minerals (vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc gluconate, selenium, calcium gluconate, magnesium sulfate).

🌿 Black Herbal Extract (Black Star Grass)
Inhibits the growth and division of cancer cells; supports natural immune function.

πŸ„ Reishi Mushroom Extract
Enhances NK cell and macrophage activity – protects healthy cells, provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

🌰 Tienchi Ginseng (Panax Notoginseng)
Promotes hemostasis, reduces inflammation, and slows tumor progression.

🌟 Nano Curcumin
Strong anti-inflammatory effect; helps inhibit the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors.

🌊 Fucoidan
A compound from brown seaweed that induces natural cancer cell death (apoptosis) and strengthens immunity.

🧬 Nucleotides
Regenerate and protect immune cells damaged during treatment, promoting faster recovery.

πŸ’ͺ L-Arginine
Boosts protein synthesis, helps maintain muscle mass, and improves circulation.

🧠 Omega-3 (DHA, EPA)
Anti-inflammatory, supports cardiovascular and neurological health.

Why use MediHope+ and not other methods?

βœ… 1. Reduces the formation of new blood vessels - blocks the tumor's nourishment
Cancer cells grow thanks to the new blood vessels that form around them. MediHope+ helps inhibit the process of new blood vessel formation, thereby making the tumor "starve for nutrients" and shrink over time.

βœ… 2. Inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells
Active ingredients in MediHope+ such as black ginseng, fucoidan, nano curcumin have been proven to slow down the cancer cell division cycle, even activating the process of self-destruction (apoptosis) of malignant cells.

βœ… 3. Reduces pain, reduces side effects of chemotherapy/radiation therapy
MediHope+ helps reduce side effects, improves physical condition so that patients can continue their treatment regimen without delay.

βœ… 4. Maintain physical strength and increase resistance
MediHope+ supplements fast-absorbing protein (whey), L-arginine and nucleotides to help restore tissue, enhance immunity and protect healthy cells.

βœ… 5. Prevent cancer progression and limit the risk of metastasis
Thanks to the mechanism of combining anti-tumor - protection - anti-inflammatory from many precious ingredients, MediHope+ helps stop the spread of cancer, keeping the tumor stable during the treatment phase.

According to the Philippine Department of Health

Drinking 2 glasses of MediHope+ every day helps patients provide adequate nutrients for the body, strengthen the immune system, reduce side effects of drugs and chemotherapy, radiotherapy. In addition, it also helps promote recovery and regeneration of stem cells, prolonging the patient's life. The treatment effect is clear, 97% of patients feel less stressed, tired, sleep better, the body is comfortable, symptoms after chemotherapy, radiotherapy recover faster, side effects are pushed back after only 5 cans. Moreover, people with underlying diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, blood fat have stabilized significantly, contributing to a feeling of comfort and refreshment every morning when waking up.

Dr. Gerardo Cornelio emphasized: "To improve overall health and completely eliminate side effects from drugs and chemotherapy and radiotherapy, patients should use at least 3-5 cans or even 10 cans depending on the condition. and the patient's physical condition to effectively prevent recurrence." In addition, the product also helps eliminate complications and metastases to bones, heart, brain...
