CARAO FRUIT!!!! Anemia Cure?

I'm a physiology major at UCF. While I was doing some research on the metabolic processes, i came upon a fruit that allegedly increases hemoglobin protein count in blood cells. I've since compiled a few helpful sites on the subject. If this has already been touched on, or is an old subject then let me know, haha. I just thought i'd help out, I don't have anemia and haven't had that much exposure to the entire experience with it, but I wanted to inform, and if i could, get some responses and info about this fruit/product.

Here are links for information about it:
-An anemia board that raised some questions on it http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/...

-A Profiteer website that is giving info about it.
http://www.anemiaanswer.com/
and info about product - http://www.anemiaanswer.com/chemical_analysis...

-Only person i've found who has distributing "promise"
http://www.iadb.org/idbamerica/index.cfm...

-A distribution center for Carao extract.
https://www.crnatural.net/order.shtml

-The tree the plant grows off of

Personal Notes: A a personal fitness nut, this stuff looks really promising. I've read articles about dNa's role in Anemia and long term effects of external cell induction, and I have to say that if the best possible way to get this out is to start making Carao plantations in the states and getting the actual "fruit". The extract/honey is all we got for now unfortunately.
Good luck to you all

I am the author of http://anemiaanswer.com , a site which promotes carao fruit for anemia. I am also responsible for production of carao fruit essence in Costa Rica (http://crnatural.net). I have a few comments/corrections to your post:

1. http://AnemiaAnswer.com promotes carao fruit for anemia. However, sales are done at http://crnatural.net , which markets carao fruit as a natural food, with no health claims. My company, CR Natural, Inc., provides an excellent product and service, as well as making many donations of carao fruit to poor hospitals in India and Africa. I therefore wonder why you elected to label the website as "profiteering."

2. CR Natural, Inc., is the only producer and exporter of pure raw carao essence. We originated the low temperature evaporation process for carao fruit. All other sources of carao are to my knowledge cooked, and far more dilute than our pure essence. I think our position as industry leader qualifies us as having "distributing 'promise'."

3. Carao is more than "allegedly" effective for anemia. There is scientific proof that carao does indeed raise both hemoglobin and RBC.(http://anemiaanswer.com/f ar09304.htm) In addition, we are steadily accumulating more and more reports of wonderful results from around the world.

4. Carao is the fruit of a wild tropical tree which will not grow in the United States, except Hawaii. The "actual fruit" is a woody pod which cannot be consumed by human beings. The pure extract of the pod is the only form in which it can be used.

Good for you for coming back on this one. Profiteering suggests improper conduct. Making a profit and profiteering are two entirely different things. I didn't like the tone of the comment either.

Does anyone know whether carao fruit syrup is in Australia?

To gbo: Sorry for the delay in answering. To my knowledge, the only source of pure carao fruit is the website at http://www.crnatural.net . Shipment (by airmail) can be made to Australia with no difficulties.
