Filipino single mother Mary Ann Eduarte delayed chemotherapy for her breast cancer for several years and instead took food supplements falsely promoted on social media as cures for the deadly disease.

They didn't work and the cancer spread to her lungs and bones .... She was advised to have a biopsy to find out if it was cancer, but she was scared and delayed having the procedure for two years.

Instead, she spent about 50,000 pesos ($900) a month on food supplements, including drinks made from tropical fruit and barley grass that she had seen advertised as cancer cures on Facebook and YouTube.

Eduarte finally agreed to have the biopsy in 2016, which confirmed the tumour was malignant.

But she refused chemotherapy, fearing it would make her sick and lose her hair, and continued taking the supplements for another three years.

"I really believed they would destroy my cancer cells because that's what I was being told by their marketing," Eduarte told AFP at her home near Manila.

"They were posting testimonials that said people were being cured."

After her cancer metastasised, Eduarte agreed to chemotherapy.

"Those food supplements actually cost me more than if I had immediately sought standard medical treatment." .... After surviving cancer, Eduarte said she was now on a mission to educate others about the dangers of online misinformation.

"I'm telling you, having taken those food supplements... they really did nothing to cure my illness," she said.

Cancer patients in the Philippines falling for alternative 'cures' Many Filipinos are duped by medical misinformation flooding the social media platforms where they rank among the world's heaviest users.

Alamin natun ang prostate cancer!

Alamin natin ang mga dapat malaman tungkol sa mga kanser na nagmumula sa leeg at ulo!

Madalas ka bang ma constipate? Matigas ba ang iyong dumi? Alamin ang mga “warning signs” para makapagpa check up sa dr

May tinatawag na “breakthrough infection”. Ito ang nangyayari sa mga vaccinated na. Nagkakaroon pa rin ng Covid 19 kahit fully vaccinated na.

Ang kaibahan natin, we are less likely to go severe. Kaya kadalasan, home care na lang.

Pero since asymptomatic to very mild symptoms lang, eto ang kadalasang nangyayari sa mga vaccinated people na may breakthrough infection.

1. Sasakit ang ulo
2. Sisipunin
3. Pagkalipas ng 3 days wala ng
Sipon

So akala mo, wala lang. Akala mo nahamugan ka lang. Akala mo normal na sipon lang.

So ang next mong gagawin, lalabas ka. Mamamalengke ka. Pupunta ka sa public places, papasok ka sa trabaho. Hind mo alam dala dala mo pa rin ang virus.

So ano ang resulta? Nakapanghawa ka ng hindi mo alam. Ang masaklap pa, ang nahawaan mo ay unvaccinated pa na maaaring mamatay.

Yang 20 thousand cases a day na nangyayari ay dahil sa mindset na ito.

Top 5 symptoms of breakthrough infection:
1. Headache
2. Sipon
3. Sneezing
4. Sore throat
5. Loss of smell

Reminder, this is not an “all or nothing” symptoms. Kahit Isa lang dyan, candidate ka na for breakthrough infection.

So to all who are vaccinated, kung makaramdam kayo ng sakit ng ulo, sipon, lagnat, huwag nyong balewalain. Treat it as breakthrough infection. Mag isolate na kayo. Huwag na muna kayo lumabas. Unless wala kayong hawak na dokumento na negative kayo, huwag muna kayong lumabas.

OA? Yes OA. Pero sa panahon ngayon, mas mabuti ng maging OA Kesa magsawalang-bahala.

Last year ang concern natin ay kung paano tayo hindi mahahawa. Ngayong year na ito na marami ng vaccinated, dapat isipin din natin kung paano tayo hindi makakapanghawa.

Again, overwhelmed na ang ating healthcare and government system. Let’s do our part naman. Keep safe po sa ating lahat.

MGA TIPS ng mga pasyenteng napagdaanan na ang CHEMOTHERAPY. Pano nga ba eto gawing mas MADALI?

10 chemotherapy tips from cancer patients who’ve been there Getting ready for your first round of chemotherapy? Use this advice from our cancer survivors.

To those suffering from the Big C...

After chemotherapy treatment, it's true that it takes years to feel alive... with the side effects of the chemotherapy and radiation, you will never be back to 100% because of the weakened immune system. Sure, in the most difficult moments of life you realize who your real friends are or the people who really appreciate you.

Unfortunately, like most friendships, FB friends will leave you in the middle of a story. They'll publish an "enjoyed" for the story, but unfortunately they don't really read your message when they see it's long. More than half may have stopped reading. Some may have gone to the next post on your news feed.
I have decided to publish this message in support of the families of friends and relatives who have fought this terrible disease until the end...

Now, I focus on those who take the time to read this message until the end... a little test, if you like, just to see who reads, and who shares it without reading.

If you've already read everything, choose "like" so I can thank you on your profile.
Cancer is a very invasive and destructive enemy of our bodies. After the end of the treatment, the body remains devastated. Recovery from the damage caused by the treatment of the disease is a very long process.

Please, in honor of a family member or a friend who died of cancer, or still fighting cancer, copy and paste this as a post on your FB.

How many times have we heard others say: "if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, I'll be there to help you". so I bet most people who saw this post (maybe even reading until the end) will publish, to show your support to the family / friend who can wrestle.

Copy and paste - do not share this message.
I'd like to know who I can count on to take a minute of your day and really read this. When you finish this, you write "done" in the comment.
