I'd like to tell you about my service project. I'm Lloyd Standish, your TOS-USA webmaster.
My family has a small business in Costa Rica producing pure carao fruit extract. Carao is a wild tropical fruit that has shown amazing properties as a natural remedy for anemia in both humans and animals, with no side effects.
About 3 years ago, through donations of carao fruit to Dr. Attahiru Sokoto (a Nigerian pediatrician), we discovered that carao fruit is extremely effective at eliminating the symptoms of Sickle Cell anemia in both children and adults. Sickle Cell Disease is very common in Africa and India, and the symptoms are both painful and debilitating.
For the last 3 years, we have been sending regular donations of carao fruit to Dr. Sokoto. Dr. Sokoto's patients are too poor to afford to buy the product. We have also paid for all shipping.
The results have indeed been heartwarming. Children are relieved of painful sickle cell crisis, the need for transfusions is eliminated, and the patients report a feeling of well-being. The beneficial effects remain for months after the initial 5-week period of carao fruit therapy is over.
Dr. Sokoto writes:
As a Physician( Paediatrics), I have never come across a syrup so powerful and give a wonderful results to our sicklers/Anaemic patients like CARAO. For this reason I think its high time your Medical community in the United States, to ... start administering Carao for their sickler/Anaemic patients.They will never regret it and more so there is conservative treatment in modern Medicine,if that's the case why can't [they] give room to CARAO for their community? 9/2005
Very recently I began sending carao fruit donations to a hospital in India. The hospital is a service project by Rudradevananda, of Ánanda Márga Gurukula. The first patient already reports benefit. He wrote the following email to me:
Hello LIoyd Standish,
First of all I would like to thanks so much for your kind help. I am staying in Orissa. Since childhood i have been suffering sickle cell. I checked my blood, it was 90% sickle cell. Since 10 days I have been taking carao. I am feeling better. Here there are many patient of sickle cell. Dada Rudradevananda is working very hard to help the patient, hope you will help him by sending more carao for other patient.
Again and again so much thanks
Yours

I am not able to donate all the carao (and shipping) Dr. Sokoto and Rudradevananda need for their patients. However, I will increase my donations of the product if I receive help to pay shipping. Shipping from Costa Rica of a 2 bottle package of carao fruit extract (1300g), a 5-week supply for an adult, is $11.24 to either Nigeria or India.
I accept donations online on the following page: http://webedit.linuxbackups.org/donate.htm. The recipients of the carao fruit, Dr. Sokoto in Nigeria and Rudradevananda in India, have promised to send thank-you emails to anyone who donates. If you wish, you can specify either "India" or "Africa" as donation recipient. If unspecified, I will decide based on greatest need. Donations are not tax deductible. Suggestion: If TOS-USA would "adopt" my project, it could become one of the TOS-USA donation opportunities, and donations would then be tax-deductable.

I will make a donation because Dr. Sokoto's patients are too poor and this is an illness which can be treated. We all must do our small part to help.

Availability of Carao fruit in India
It is a good fruit for Anemic people. Will you please tell me about its availability in India, as my near relation of about 45 years of age is suffering from jaundice for the last 3 months and is having 7.5% hamoglobin.
The product can be shipped
The product can be shipped by airmail to India. Please consult the website at http://www.anemiaanswer.com for more information. You can email me through that site if you have any further questions.

carao availability
Hello Beatrice,
In Nigeria, if you are unable to afford the carao fruit product, you can email Dr. Sokoto, whose email address is attahirus at gmail.com (spam prevention, replace 'at' with '@' and remove spaces). He is located in Sokoto State, Nigeria. For telephone contact information for Dr. Sokoto, contact me.
In UK, you can order the product from http://www.crnatural.net. Shipping to UK takes about 2 weeks. The producing company currently has no emergency supply in UK.
By the way, the email address you gave when you posted your comment is incorrect, so you would not have received a notification of follow comments here. I realized this because you attempted to join http://forum.anemiaanswer.com, and your registration confirmation email was undeliverable.

Dear Jilesh,Thank you for
Dear Jilesh,
Thank you for your supporting words. I hope we can work together to help many people!
Although we have abundant information on carao fruit for anemia of many origins (including "iron deficiency," blood-loss related, chemotherapy-induced, sickle cell, etc.), we only have 3 documented cases of carao fuit used for thalassemia (all 3 results positive).
Therefore, just a few days ago (May 26, 2008) I decided to organize a test of carao fruit on a thalassemia support forum. For information, please visit http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1259.30. (You may have to register with the forum to view this page.)
I have offered to provide 4 bottles of carao for free to each of 5 people, for thalassemia. Participants in this test agree to post their results to the forum mentioned above, including blood test results (or summary of results) if possible. I encourage you, Jilesh, to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the carao fruit for your son and to participate in sharing the results to the world. Perhaps you also know of other people with thalassemia who would like to take part in this informal testing. (I want to point out that carao fruit is a completely natural and safe food that has been used for centuries in Central America as remedy for anemia. It gives wonderful results for in all age groups, from infants to the very old.) More information on carao fruit for anemia is available here.
When we have more information on carao fruit for thalassemia, we will be ready to move forward with further donations (to a thalassemia clinic or hospital in India, I hope).
Regarding the planting of carao trees, I am ready at any time to donate carao tree seeds, for the cost of shipping, to anyone in the world who will plant them. Interested parties should contact me.
I would like to point out that we already do regular donations of carao fruit to Rudradevananda in India (rudradevananda at gmail.com), primarily for sickle cell disease in patients of all ages, and to Dr. Attahiru S. Sokoto (attahirus at gmail.com), primarily for sickle cell disease in children. Anyone who would like to donate to help me pay shipping for these carao fruit donations can do so on this page.
Anyone would like my carao donations project to be officially supported by the TOS-USA should express their support by posting comments here or by sending a message to our President.
How long this project has
How long this project has been going on? I'm not a doctor or a health specialist but I just want to know if someone had already been cured by taking this fruit. I have an anemia and I want this to be cured.

Sickle cell in Chicago
I had talked with you before about the fruit, but this is the first time seeing your website. I am forwarding the information to a good friend whose grand daughter has experienced frequent hospitalizations for sickle cell.
I will keep you posted

Anemia
Thank you Lloyd. This is a wonderful project. I hope our medical profession in this country is using your product. Many suffer from this malady.
The 5 week treatment relieves symptoms, but how long does the remission last and what is required to maintain health?

Doctors and carao fruit
The medical profession in USA does not recognize or accept carao fruit therapy, despite years of wonderful results, including consistent positive clinical results, a peer-reviewed scientific study on rats (http://anemiaanswer.com/far09304.htm), and an enormous amount of "anecdotal" feedback from around the world, published on my website (http://www.anemiaanswer.com/testimonials.htm).
My donation project is primarily for sickle cell anemia, although carao fruit is effective, as far as I know, for all anemia. Dr. Sokoto in Nigeria has used it to treat many forms of anemia, not only sickle cell. The results reported by Dr. Sokoto are but a small part of the information I have collected over the years. I encourage all those who are interested to visit my website at http://www.AnemiaAnswer.com.
In the case of sickle cell anemia (as well as thalassemia, another genetically-related anemia), a "cure" cannot be expected. However, Dr. Sokoto has reported remission of symptoms of sickle cell for at least 6-12 months after carao fruit is no longer used. If I am not mistaken, if and when symptoms recur, they are never as severe as they were before carao was taken, even over a year after carao is discontinued. A maintenance dose of carao fruit is not provided to these patients simply because the supply is insufficient. Dr. Sokoto can be contacted at attahirus at gmail dot com.
We are interested in projects to plant carao tree seeds in Africa and India, and eventually to teach the people how to make LTE (Low Temperature Evaporation) raw carao extract, a process I developed in Costa Rica.
