Carao: Has Anyone Ever Tried This Product?
Lloyd Standish:
This is Lloyd Standish, the sponsorer of the informal study of carao for thalassemia.
The idea of this study is to gather information on carao fruit for thalassemia, since we have only limited information. (On the other hand, there is extensive clinical experience with carao for sickle cell disease and "regular" anemia, as well as a huge number of "anecdotal" reports of success.)
Carao has been repeatedly reported to allow sickle cell disease patients to avoid blood transfusions. It is my hope that carao fruit will be found to be similarly useful for thalassemia, or that it at least significantly reduce the frequency of transfusions.
The terms of this study were that each participant post his or her results directly to this forum. Unfortunately, however, out of 10 initial participants, only 2 have given any feedback at all. This is an unacceptably low level of cooperation. I have set the acceptable level of cooperation at 70% (7 out of the 10 participants). [bgcolor=#FFFF00]Please visit http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1791.msg17338#msg17338 for a summary of partipants' information.[/bgcolor]
If the study participants will cooperate and will post the requested information (see the link above), I would be glad to sponsor more such studies by providing free carao fruit. Otherwise, I will not continue to make these donations. The choice is in the hands of the study participants.
To forum member poo gill, who requested to be included in the carao for thalassemia study, I have to inform that participation in the study with free (donated) is now closed.
However, note that the carao fruit product can be purchased at the website http://www.tropicalhealthfoods.com. Note further that the product is guaranteed, meaning that if it is purchased for thalassemia and it does not give "satisfactory" results, we will refund the purchase price (shipping excluded). Therefore, anyone here with a desire to try carao and help the forum community with feedback on it can always do so, with the only "risk" being the cost of shipping.
Finally, my (very) small company does make donations of the product, but never based on unwillingness to pay, but rather inability to pay.

Thank you for this Lloyd,
We indeed appreciate your donations to our members and we are very excited to co operate with you in getting these results.
As Manal said, we will determine why our members have not been able to post their results.
Thank you again for helping our members and giving us this opportunity,
