Constipation is a very common condition among Filipinos. Unfortunately, like other constipation sufferers around the globe, Filipinos are still unaware of the real causes of this condition and its corresponding laxative treatment.  


According to the 2006 Epidemiology Survey, the latest large-scale global survey conducted across four continents, people still perceive laxatives as habit-forming and that its long-term use can trigger constipation.

                    [Summary] => It’s the other Big C (aside from cancer) that’s also a major health concern. But of course, we’re talking about constipation which can pose so much pain in the you-know-what. Which is why laxatives (medicine to relieve constipation) are such big business. In the US, some $400-million worth of laxatives are sold each year. According to Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld, best-selling health book author, these laxatives are good only for the manufacturers, not the consumers.
