"Filipino Health Myths That Are LITERALLY Killing You (31,789 Deaths/Year)" - Video

Day 4 of 365: Myth-busting Filipino health beliefs that are causing preventable deaths.
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This video challenges traditional Filipino health practices. If you're not ready to hear this, that's okay. But 31,789 Filipinos died last year from delaying medical care, and I took an oath to save lives.
THE 7 MYTHS:
1. 'Lagpas Lang Yan' (It'll Pass)
2. Hilot Can Fix Everything
3. Drink Hot Water for Everything
4. Tuob/Steam Cures Respiratory Illness
5. Tawas is 100% Safe
6. Albularyo Can Cure Serious Illness
7. Virgin Coconut Oil Cures Everything


MY MESSAGE:
This isn't about choosing modern medicine OVER traditional healing.
It's about choosing BOTH.
Respect culture. Trust science. Do both.
Because your lola's prayers AND my antibiotics work better together.
CHALLENGE:

Comment ONE health myth you grew up believing
Ask your parents/grandparents about one myth
Share this with someone who needs to hear it

DISCLAIMER:
I am Filipino. I love Filipino culture. This video comes from a place of love and a desire to save lives, not disrespect tradition. If 31,789 annual deaths can be prevented by adding science to tradition, that's what I'm advocating for.
