Dear Dr. Gott: Is it safe to use cascara sagrada as a laxative? I have tried everything else, such as heaping tablespoons of Metamucil and using two stool softeners twice each day with little success. Dear Reader: Cascara sagrada is a shrub native to the western coast of North America.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I'm from Australia. While visiting a friend in America, I read your column in the newspaper about chronic constipation. My son-in-law, who suffered with this for years, told me about a very good and natural remedy. Scrub the "fur" off the skin of a kiwi fruit. Do not peel the skin off. Remove the hard ends, and cut the fruit into four sections. Eat the kiwi, skin and all, first thing each morning until regular. This needs to be repeated only as required. After major surgery, my husband tried this to avoid any straining, and it worked for him, too!
MIAMI - For generations, Voodoo practitioners in rural Haiti have sworn by the mystic qualities of Jatropha, an indigenous plant believed to purge evil spirits and release the trapped souls of the dead. However, the shrub soon might be in bigger demand among the living. Jatropha shows tremendous promise as a source of biofuel in Latin America and the Caribbean, and especially Haiti, which suffers from chronic shortages of diesel fuel, electricity - just about everything except Jatropha.
