Silent liver diseases like hepatitis and cirrhosis can drain your health and finances before you even realize it. Don’t ignore the early warning signs!

Do not underestimate symptoms like fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, and nausea - they could be warning signs of serious liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. These conditions can silently deteriorate your health and drain your finances long before becoming life-threatening.

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

The main causes include unhealthy diets, high alcohol consumption, and limited access to healthcare, which have exacerbated conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Unfortunately, many people are still unaware of the severity of these diseases and lack the necessary awareness in preventing and managing them.

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 Liver Diseases and Conditions Related to the Liver System

This article has been medically reviewed in consultation with Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi,
Director of the Philippine General Hospital.

To effectively address this issue, the Department of Health Philippines (DOH) collaborated with the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) to identify the causes and solutions. After years of research, they successfully discovered a natural method that has been highly regarded for its safety and effectiveness.

This method was tested on 10,000 individuals, including both those with normal liver function and patients with severe liver damage. The results showed significant improvements in liver health indicators, reduced inflammation, enhanced liver cell regeneration, and an overall better quality of life for patients.

According to Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi, who directly participated in and supervised the research alongside his colleagues: "The application of this method not only helps reduce liver disease rates in the community but also alleviates the burden on the national healthcare system. For this reason, the program is now being actively promoted with the goal of making it widely accessible to the people of the Philippines, giving them the opportunity to protect their liver health early and prevent serious consequences in the future."

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and interview Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi about these conditions while he is teaching at St. Luke’s Medical Center.

Dr. Legaspi, thank you for your time. Many people don’t realize they have liver disease until it’s too late. Could you explain why liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, often go unnoticed in their early stages?

Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi shares valuable insights into the causes and dangers of liver-related diseases, along with methods for helping individuals over 40 who suffer from conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure to manage and recover at home.

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. Gerardo D. Legaspi: 

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and interview Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi about these conditions while he is teaching at St. Luke’s Medical Center.

Absolutely. The liver is a resilient organ, and it doesn’t show symptoms of damage until the condition has progressed significantly. In the early stages of liver fibrosis, most patients feel completely normal. However, as scar tissue builds up, they may begin to experience fatigue, bloating, and digestive issues. Unfortunately, these symptoms are often mistaken for other common health problems, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment.
Since I don’t have enough time, I will just mention the most common liver diseases that people tend to suffer from.
Please check the following symptoms yourself:

Once diagnosed, what are the typical stages of liver disease progression?

- Reporter:

- Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi:

Liver disease progresses in four stages. In the initial phase, inflammation occurs but is still reversible. If left untreated, the liver starts forming scar tissue, leading to fibrosis. As the condition worsens, patients enter the cirrhosis stage, where the liver struggles to function properly. In the final stage, known as decompensated cirrhosis, the damage is severe, and complications such as internal bleeding, kidney failure, and even liver cancer become serious risks.

Is there a way to prevent or slow down this progression?

- Reporter:

Absolutely. The key is early intervention. Eliminating harmful habits like excessive alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing chronic conditions such as diabetes can significantly reduce the risk. Additionally, using specialized liver-supporting nutritional products along with lifestyle adjustments can help prevent further damage and promote overall liver health.

Speaking of treatment, we’ve heard about Hepa Pro. Could you tell us more about this approach?

- Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi:

Of course. Hepa Pro is a natural liver support solution that helps improve liver function by enhancing its ability to regenerate and reducing inflammation. Many patients struggle with medication side effects or resistance to standard treatments. Hepa Pro provides an alternative that supports liver health without additional stress on the body.

- Reporter:

That sounds promising. Have you seen significant improvements in patients using Hepa Pro?

- Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi:

Yes, absolutely. Many patients who incorporated Hepa Pro into their regimen reported noticeable improvements within weeks. Their digestion improved, fatigue diminished, and liver enzyme levels stabilized. More importantly, this method is not just for patients -many doctors and medical professionals also use it as a preventive measure to maintain their own liver health.

- Reporter:

That’s very interesting. Have other doctors supported the use of Hepa Pro?

Yes, many colleagues at hospitals have integrated Hepa Pro into their own healthcare routines. As medical professionals, we understand how crucial liver health is, even if we are not showing symptoms. The positive results have encouraged us to share this solution with more people.

- Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi:

- Reporter:

What would you say to those who are unsure about trying Hepa Pro?

- Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi:

I would encourage them to be proactive about their health. Don’t wait until symptoms become severe. If you recognize signs of liver strain or simply want to support your liver function, Hepa Pro is a safe and effective option. Prevention is always better than cure.

Most people suffering from liver diseases often face these issues due to poor lifestyle choices, exposure to toxins, or viral infections, which compromise liver function and lead to chronic inflammation. The primary cause lies in the body's deficiency of essential nutrients that play a crucial role in detoxifying the liver, reducing inflammation, and regenerating liver cells.

Especially for those who have experienced conditions such as hepatitis or fatty liver, regularly supplementing with nutrients that support liver health, enhance detoxification, and prevent further damage is essential. Key nutrients such as Milk Thistle Extract, Taurine, and vitamins like B1, B9 (Folate), and B12 have been proven effective in improving liver function and overall health.

Currently, the only way to comprehensively supplement these essential nutrients is by using the nutritional supplement Hepa Pro, a product that has been verified and recommended by health experts. Hepa Pro not only protects the liver but also provides long-term support for overall liver health and function.

- 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?

1. Treatment Regimen for Each Specific Liver Condition:
According to the recommendation of the Department of Health (DOH), individuals over 37 years old experiencing liver-related symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and unexplained weight loss should follow a treatment regimen of at least 3 to 5 cans of Hepa Pro, taken twice daily after meals. For those with chronic liver conditions lasting more than 4 months, such as cirrhosis or advanced hepatitis, a regimen of 5 to 10 cans is recommended. Strict adherence to the appropriate treatment regimen will ensure the fastest and most effective results for liver health improvement.

2. Hepa Pro is Not Sold in Pharmacies:
Hepa Pro can effectively support liver health after just one suitable course of treatment. When using 3-5 cans, the product enhances liver function, detoxification, and reduces the risk of related conditions such as high cholesterol, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This means individuals may no longer need certain medications for these conditions. Consequently, pharmacies and sellers of these medications could see a reduction in sales—something no pharmacy would want.

3. Hepa Pro is Produced in Very Limited Quantities and Must Be Pre-Ordered:
Partly because the product contains a high concentration of Milk Thistle Extract, Taurine, and essential vitamins such as B1, B9 (Folate), and B12, along with other 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.

Clinical research results after a 3-5 can treatment course of 8,000 patients.
