Hi Lloyd,

1- i received all the bottles except two are still remaining.

2- Started the carao in June 2008

3- First two bottles i gave 5ml twice a day then starting third bottle the dose is 10ml twice a day

4- my son 6 years and thal intermedia , never transfused

5- Average HB is 6.2 to 6.5

6- On September Hb is 6.5 but there was a significant decrease in the reyticulete count, it became 3.5%, we never had it that low. On October 1 will be the second CBC

7- No treatment given except mineralsm and multivitamin, L-carnitine and folicacid

8-  No significant change except the reyticulte count that is mentioned above

I will update you with the new CBC after the first of October

Hello,
I was doing a web search and came across mention of carao and I was lead to this forum. I'm finding everything that's happening here very interesting. I have sickle cell anemia and my Hb usually stays around 8. I have been experiencing more discomfort from my disease as I grow older and was wondering what alternative treatments there may be out there. Is carao very effective for sickle cell as well?

Carao for Sickle Cell
« Reply #167 on: September 29, 2008, 01:54:15 PM »
Hello Meli,
After 4 years of constant clinical experience for sickle cell anemia (resulting from regular donations of the product to a Nigerian hospital: http://www.anemiaanswer.com/sokoto.htm) I consider carao fruit to be proven effective for sickle cell disease, and I challenge anyone to contradict that. However, I think discussion on carao for sickle cell is not appropriate on this thalassemia forum (Admins, correct me if I am wrong).  Therefore, please PM me or contact me though the anemiaanswer.com website if you have any questions. -- Lloyd Standish

Lloyd and Everyone,

Our group does contain some who have sickle cell or beta thal sickle cell, so the results for carao in sickle cell patients is very relevant. Please feel free to post any advice and results.

Lloyd:
I followed the link you provided and the results that Dr. Sokoto has been experiencing are amazing. I could only hope to experience such results! What is the common dosage for an adult female? Also, do these trees only grow in Costa Rica?

Andy:
Yes, i think learning the results for both thalassemia and sickle cell are very interesting and important. I actually first came across this forum last year when I first started ExJade. I learned that you should not use a metal spoon then. I find this forum very kind and helpful :)

Thank you Meli,

We are glad that you received helpful information on our website.  Our members are indeed very kind and knowledgeable.  Andy is preparing for a trip to Singapore where he will be gaining even more useful information to share with us. 

Good luck with Carao.

Hi Meli,
Yes, the results obtained by Dr. Sokoto (which is ongoing, of course), are amazing.  My hope is to promote planting of the trees in all the suitable tropical areas.  They are very hardy and vigorous and drought-resistant, and should grow and produce in many tropical areas of the world.  The trees do need a long dry season (preferably 6 months long) to properly ripen the fruit.  I plan to publish on a new website full information on production of raw extraction carao, using equipment that can be built at low cost. Our methods are based on the use of solar energy.

The recommended dose for an adult is 4 teaspoons (20 ml).  When symptoms of sickle cell have disappeared, the dose can be reduced.  Use can even be completely interrupted for several months, and benefits are reported to persist.

Hi Sharmin:
I wish you good results with carao as well.
I look forward to what Andy will learn in Singapore!

Hi Lloyd:
It would be wonderful if the trees can grow in more suitable areas. This seems like a plant that could be helpful to so many people! Using solar energy is a great idea.
Wow, carao sounds very promising. I'll have to give it a try sometime when I am not suffering as much financial hardship. I'm looking forward to future results!

Thank you Meli,
I hope you also experience success with Carao:)  I'm glad to hear that it is helpful in Sickle cell anemia as well. 
We are all looking forward to hearing what our friends learn at the conference. 

Best,

I will be receiving this product within a few weeks and I am eager to begin using it.  This product seems to be quite promising - and hopefully we will see benefits in our childrens' over all health and well being.  We are quite fortunate to have the opportunity to be involved in this study - I could not wait for my son's hg to stabilize so that he could begin.  Zaini and Manal you have done such a great job at keeping track and reporting results - I will do my best to do the same. 

Lloyd has been very generous in giving us the opportunity to join his study - and it would be very helpful to him and all thalassemia patients if we can be sure to take the supplement regularly and to report the results as requested.  In this way we can learn for ourselves how the supplement benefits us and we can help other thalassemia patients as well.  If we post our feedback Lloyd can also do follow up studies - which is once again beneficial to us and other thal patients. 

We have an opportunity to make a difference,

Thank you and all the best,  :goodluck :goodluck

Hi Lloyd
 
On October 4th

Hb is 6.6 and the reticuolyte count increased again to 9.3% though last month HB was 6.5 and the count was only 3.5 %. This relation drives me crazy :huh :huh

This month extra vitamins and minerals in addition to glutathione are being added to what my son takes.

I will update you on the next month. By the way my son started bottle number 4.

PS: His uncle sent us from the Stated 3 extra bottles

I actually have personal experience with this product. In 2005, my partner's HB was down to 8.6. Although he was borderline for a transfusion, his hematologist allowed him to go home and see if it would improve over a week or two. Immediately, we searched the Internet for anemia solutions and came across Lloyd's site for the Carao Fruit syrup (we call it syrup--not sure if it is considered a syrup by Lloyd).

Within two weeks of receiving the syrup, he started to feel better, in four weeks his HB had improved. He says that they syrup gives him "a lift".

This is only our experience. I don't know whether it would work for everyone, but on a personal level, I feel this syrup was a gift from God and I recommend it.
