ahem......ahem, the thing is i am not as courageous as my daughter, :rotfl even when i give her carao,i can't stand the smell,and the face my daughter makes after taking it :medicine :puke, i think i'll take time to find the courage  :biggrin.although my hb always remains below normal.
Anyways i was only joking,it's just that right now it won't be possible for me to arrange the credit card again,it was a hassle last time also,Lloyd knows :).

Just my two cents and experience about the smell
« Reply #136 on: September 10, 2008, 12:23:58 AM »
I am not trying to undermine or insult anyone here but would like to share my experiences with carao.

First of all, I would like to say that I myself used carao after my blood counts were low from agressive chemotherapy. I am therefore familiar on a personal basis. It has been 6 years and for the first time in my life, my hemoglobin counts have been low end normal. I carry the minor trait.

My Granddaughter(Thal Major) is two and has had it in her bottle for many months.  Thankfully, she loves it and actually asks for it.

When I purchased it for her, I ordered it for my Mom (now 82), who was experiencing low hg levels. My Unlce has Stage 4 Lymphoma and the chemo has caused anemia.  I was worried sick with whether they would be able to tolerate it because of the "smell."  It did not bother either of them. In fact, my Mom likes it. Another close family member who recently went through chemo used a bottle to help keep her counts elevated and it worked and she too liked it.

Not sure wheter any of you make an issue out of the smell but if you don't, you may have more success. It does seem however, that children who strart it when they are a little older are the ones who find it distasteful.   

I have so much faith in this produc that I wish there were a magic wand that would enable everyone to toelrate it. That is kind of silly because if there were a magic wand, I would use it to ward off all illness and disease, epecially thalassemia! SUre you get my point though.

Anyway... I would love to provide data on my G-Daughter's progress but I feel it would be better to leave it to her Mother who I know posts on here and is a huge advocate and great Mom.

At any rate and no matter what you each choose, you are all in my thoughts and prayers for great health and success.

Doctors and carao
« Reply #142 on: September 10, 2008, 02:49:18 PM »
Umair, this might not apply for your part of the world (?), but in western countries (North and South America and Europe) it is in my experience *never* wise to ask for a medical doctor's approval to use carao fruit.  Almost no doctor will approve of anything he does not know about and which is not part of standard, orthodox treatment.  Doctors generally know nothing about carao, NOR ARE THEY INTERESTED.  If a doctor did "approve" of it, he would open himself to lawsuits.

If you use carao and get great results, and report those results to your doctor (I have witnessed this situation, via email, more times than I can remember), the most you can expect from your doctor is for him to say "Keep on doing what you're doing."  He will NOT be motivated by your success to investigate carao and recommend it for other patients.

Carao is a natural fruit, and should be used with that attitude.  It you ask for a doctor's approval to use it for anemia/thalassemia, you immediately change it from a food into an "unapproved new drug." 

On the other hand, if carao is used as a food, your doctor will not object.  You can show him the bottle and let him read the label.  All you have to remember is to not tell him it is good for anemia!

Note that I use the words "he" and "him" in the broad, traditional English sense to refer to both men and women.

Lloyd is right and....
« Reply #143 on: September 10, 2008, 03:11:40 PM »
let me add from muy own personal experience regarding any holistic or natural approach when it comes to a conventional doctor.

I mentioned in my previous post that I had aggressive chemotherapy. I went the conventional route BUT having always used many natural paths, as soon as I finished I went holistic. Still use conventional as well. I am of the mind that the best of both worlds work well for me.

Anyway..... I was having horrific problems and side effects from post chemo / surgical meds that were literally destroying me. I started investigating many natural remedies. When I approached my Oncologist, he told me that he was not able to condone any product that did not have clinical studies.  So... I found that by rephrasing my question, I got the answer that I wanted. I asked him whether he had other patients who chose natural remedies and he said many. I  then asked how they were doing and he knocked wood, gave me a smile and said " very well. Thank God."

It is also important to note that you should approach the doctor with facts. DO you homework and be prepared. Lloyd is right. Most know nothing about many of these natural remedies and some even hate them out right. I had one doctor tell me that he might as well sell cars if herbs worked! Well... duh!  Most of modern medicine was derived from herbs used centuries ago.

In the case of Carao, it is low in iron and is a fruit, so basically how could they say no. It then comes to the point that you have to make your own edcuated decision. Hard but do-able. Pray and follow your gut!

Blessings,

I am reading this post for the first time. What is this carao fruit? When i goggled about carao, I did not see any independant website talking about this fruit. the sites that talk about it always links back to anemiaanswer.com which is owned by Lloyd Standish. This fruit is not even mentioned in wikipedia. if you try searchign for any other fruit, wikipedia will always show up. I am sorry , I don't want to offend anybody but i am curious why no one else talks about this fruit.

Carao is not a drug. As Lloyd keeps stating, it is a fruit. You should not have to ask your doctor if it's OK to eat fruit.

The reason you don't hear about carao other than on their website is because it is not sold mass market. It is sold from one company and is a small time venture but we are getting good reports from people who use it regularly. I have heard about carao for years but this is the first we have had members trying it.

Hi Umair (PS I ediited this post after I realized that you are in Pakistan!)

Online payment from Pakistan if you do not have a credit or a debit card is difficult, since you cannot back a PayPal account with a bank account in Pakistan.

One thing you can look into is getting an "Internet prepaid card."  This is an option in Nigeria, another country from which you cannot open a PayPal account.

Or, if your uncle is to pay for you and he is not in your country, keep in mind that we can ship to a country that is completely different from the billing address.  You can email me off-forum if you have any questions on this (lloyd at anemiaanswer.com).

I'd like to repeat to everyone who reads this now (and in the distant future) that I am eager to donate carao tree seeds for planting in tropical regions.  I promise to publish full information on our solar-energy-based low temperature evaporation system.

Bostonian_04, sorry there is still no Wikipedia entry for carao fruit.  I will try to write one soon!
