1.
COPD is a leading cause of death worldwide
Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death
worldwide, and the World Health Organization estimates that 3 million deaths
were caused by the disease in 2015, which represents 5% of all deaths globally.
By 2020, it is estimated to be the third leading cause of death worldwide.1
2.
COPD is a seldom discussed, underdiagnosed disease
As compared
to other leading causes of death such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, COPD
is a seldom-discussed disease and many people are unaware of what COPD is. The
disease is among the most common, most underdiagnosed, most debilitating, most
deadly and most costly to manage.
3.
There are a shocking number of people who remain undiagnosed
While an
estimated 210 million people worldwide estimated to have COPD,2 less
than half have actually been diagnosed.
4.
In the Philippines, COPD remains a serious disease
COPD is one
of the 10 leading causes of death in the Philippines. It has a prevalence rate
of 14% among Filipino adults aged 40 and above. Only 2% of the cases are
diagnosed by doctors in contrast to the overall prevalence.3
5.
COPD is not a curable disease, but it can be managed
COPD as a
disease cannot be cured, but the good news is that there are available
treatment options that can greatly improve the quality of life of patients,
which include pharmacotherapies and nebulizes to deliver drugs. Besides these,
long-term oxygen therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) therapy options also
help patients cope with the disease and reduce hospitalization rates.
6. One’s risk of COPD
increases with age
COPD
develops slowly and becomes more apparent after 40 or 50 years of age. It is a
progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe (or even blow a
pinwheel), with symptoms that include breathlessness, chronic cough or sputum
production.
7.
Non-smokers can also be at risk of COPD
While
perceived to be a “smoker’s disease”, non-smokers can also develop COPD due to
environmental factors. Exposure to tobacco smoke, air pollution, or noxious
particles or gases from biomass fuels increases the risk of developing COPD4.
Those living in Asia Pacific are also at risk due to the region’s rapid
development, with 56.6 million are afflicted with moderate to severe COPD in
Asia.
8.
Those with COPD should know that there are ways to help them stay active
COPD
patients can, with the right treatment and therapy, continue their way of life.
Russell Winwood, a renowned COPD athlete and Philips ambassador, completed his
first full Ironman just six months after his diagnosis, despite the fact that
his lungs function at only 22%.

I have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and my doctor has given me Seebri Breezhaler, it's an inhalation powder 44 micrograms. I take it once a day in the morning. It's a great help to breathing, it's a new medicine on test, 10 out of 10 from me! But still yet i was told it has no cure for it. I was fed up to nearly take my life until my son saw a post of a lady who testify that there's a cure for copd and she was diagnosed with this disease for 8 years before she came arrow a website of an Africa clinic. Which provide natural herbal herbs to cure copd and she purchase it through online. My son purchase their copd herbal remedy on my behalf and give it to me to use with the instructions given on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed i was totally cured of this deadly disease within 12 weeks of usage.
