Reporter: What solutions help patients undergoing cancer treatment reduce stress, promote overall health, and enhance the immune system?
1. Celastrus hindsii extract
- Supports the destruction of cancer cells The active ingredients Flavonoids and Quinones in Celastrus hindsii have strong antioxidant properties, helping to inhibit the growth and replication of cancer cells. Celastrus hindsii also helps slow down the metastasis of cancer cells.
- Protects healthy cells Celastrus hindsii extract helps protect healthy cells from the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy by minimizing damage caused by free radicals. It also supports the faster recovery of damaged tissues during treatment.
- Reduces side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy Celastrus hindsii helps reduce symptoms of fatigue, nausea, and immunodeficiencyβcommon side effects of cancer treatment. It improves sleep quality, reduces stress and anxiety, helping patients feel more comfortable during treatment.
- Strengthens the immune system Celastrus hindsii helps stimulate the production of white blood cells and enhances immune system activity, helping the body fight infections after treatment.
- Detoxifies the body Celastrus hindsii extract helps the liver and kidneys eliminate toxins accumulated from chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or cancer treatment drugs.
3. Panax notoginseng
- Helps reduce side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy Anti-inflammatory: The saponins in Panax notoginseng help reduce inflammation, a common side effect of cancer treatment. Cell protection: Panax notoginseng can reduce damage to healthy cells caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Immune enhancement: This herb helps stimulate the immune system, enabling the body to fight against the immune deficiency that is common during cancer treatment.
- Inhibits the growth and metastasis of cancer cells Studies have shown that notoginsenosides have the ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and prevent the formation of new blood vessels, thereby limiting the growth and spread of tumors. Panax notoginseng has been shown to reduce the metastasis of cancer cells through mechanisms such as regulating apoptosis (programmed cell death).
- Antioxidant and DNA protection The powerful antioxidant effects of Panax notoginseng help protect DNA from free radical attack, thereby reducing the risk of cancer recurrence and increasing the effectiveness of treatment therapies.
- Enhances recovery after treatment Improves blood circulation: Panax notoginseng helps increase blood circulation, thereby supporting the body's recovery from damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Enhances energy: The active ingredients in this herb help reduce fatigue and improve overall health for cancer patients.
4. Nano Curcumin
A super-small form of curcumin, which is absorbed more effectively than regular curcumin.
Anti-inflammatory, strong antioxidant, and helps prevent the growth of cancer cells.
Enhances immunity, and reduces side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
5. Omega 3 (DHA, EPA)
Dr. Gerardo Cornelio: The supportive therapy for cancer patients undergoing treatment that I am referring to is a new product called MediHope+. Currently, in the Philippines, only this product fully meets the body's needs during cancer treatment. MediHope+ has been researched and developed in Japan and the United States since 2021. This product contains about 40 natural active ingredients that are beneficial for the body, helping cancer patients by: providing essential nutrients to strengthen their health for treatment; reducing stress, fatigue, and improving sleep; increasing appetite and preventing exhaustion; compensating for excessive energy consumption caused by tumors; promoting recovery and the self-healing process; and regulating metabolism to extend the patient's lifespan.
The most important ingredients to mention are: Celastrus hindsii extract, Lingzhi mushroom extract (Ganoderma lucidum), Panax notoginseng, Omega-3 (DHA, EPA), Nano Curcumin, and FOS (Fructooligosaccharides).
1. Supports immune system enhancement and nutritional supplementation:
- Helps enhance resistance and protects the body against infection.
- Helps reduce the impact of free radicals.
2. Provides sustainable energy
- Does not burden the digestive system.
- Maintains long-lasting energy without causing sudden increases in blood sugar levels.
3. Supports the prevention of body wasting
- Supports the maintenance and regeneration of muscle mass during the wasting stage.
4. Reduces side effects of cancer treatment
- Reduces inflammation.
- Improves nausea and fatigue caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
- Protects the lining of the stomach and intestines.
5. Supports improved cell health
- Prevents cell damage.
- Supports the body against the growth of cancer cells.
6. Optimized specialized nutritional formula
Products are personalized for each stage of the disease:
- Early stage: Boosts immunity and energy.
- Treatment stage: Reduces side effects and maintains weight.
- Recovery stage: Regenerates muscles and improves physical strength.

2. Ganoderma Lucidum: Ganoderma lucidum extract has been extensively studied for its applications in cancer supportive care, especially following chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
- Supports the immune system Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and beta-glucan compounds that help enhance the activity of immune cells, such as NK (Natural Killer) cells and macrophages, enabling the body to fight cancer cells more effectively. After chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the immune system is often weakened, and Ganoderma lucidum helps restore and improve the body's immunity.
- Antioxidant properties and reduction of side effects Ganoderma lucidum contains many antioxidants that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals during treatment. Side effects such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and liver or kidney damage can be alleviated thanks to the active ingredients in Ganoderma lucidum.
- Inhibits the growth of cancer cells The triterpenoid compounds in Lingzhi mushrooms are known for their ability to inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells. Some studies have shown that these mushrooms can slow down the proliferation of cancer cells.
- Improves quality of life Ganoderma lucidum extract helps reduce stress and anxiety while improving sleepβcommon challenges for cancer patients. It also helps increase appetite and combat physical weakness.
- Supports liver and kidney protection During chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the liver and kidneys must work harder to eliminate toxins. Ganoderma lucidum protects these organs and supports the detoxification process.
- Anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects Ganoderma lucidum possesses natural anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce the inflammation and pain that cancer patients often experience.
Dr. Gerardo Cornelio: We, together with professors from Japan and the United States, faced many challenges when researching and carefully screening the effects and consequences for cancer patients using medication before, during, and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Understanding the causes and problems that patients face, along with research recognized by the World Medical Association, we have successfully developed a specialized milk for patients undergoing cancer treatment. This product helps the body mitigate side effects while fully absorbing all nutrients and helping patients recover quickly after treatment. Moreover, it helps support the prevention of dangerous complications and metastasis.
In Japan, more than 10,000 cancer patients participated in the trial. They reported experiencing 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 changed; they ate well, slept well, and were mentally relaxed.
Anti-inflammatory; helps prevent the growth of cancer cells.
Enhances cardiovascular and brain health.
Helps improve mood and reduce fatigue after treatment.
In addition to the main ingredients mentioned above, MediHope+ also contains Non-dairy creamer, Maltodextrin, Whey protein, Isomalt, MCT, Nano curcumin, Nucleotides, L-Arginine, Taurine, L-Lysine HCl, Choline, and Whole milk powder. All of these ingredients help the body absorb nutrients effectively, limiting side effects during treatment and supporting recovery after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It also includes other vitamins and minerals that help the body gradually recover, such as Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, Folic acid, Zinc gluconate, Selenium, Calcium gluconate, and Magnesium sulfate.
