Anemia is a condition of the blood that arises when you have less than normal red blood cells in your blood — when you have insufficient amounts of hemoglobin, the essential protein that carries oxygen from your lungs throughout your entire body. With anemia, oxygen cannot properly travel to all the different parts of your body. Over 3 million Americans suffer from anemia, with women having a greater risk than men. Here are some natural ways to improves levels of hemoglobin.
Causes of Anemia
If you are suffering from anemia you are probably already aware of the many reasons such as low vitamin B12 levels and large losses of blood that can cause your hemoglobin levels to drop. Normal levels of hemoglobin are: 14-18 gm/dl for adult males and 12 – 16 gm/dl for adult females.
Natural Anemia Cures
Can the “Tropical Wonder Plant,” Carao Cure Anemia?
Carao (sometimes know as Bukut), native to the tropical rain forest, has been reputed to be a strong natural remedy for anemia. Carao can help offset your iron deficiency.
“It’s known as Casia Grandis and has been an effective natural remedy for anemia. But it also has an interesting side effect in many men. It spurs spontaneous erections! Could this be due to a lowering of SHBG? At this point, it would only be speculative to say. One would think that something that cured anemia would be high in iron but tests on Carao extract reveal almost no iron. This one is a big question mark. It could be nothing more than the impoverished people were anemic before taking it and once cured, felt completely revitalized, yet among athletes who have tried it, the consensus is that it definitely improves endurance and sex drive.”

Scientific Studies of Carao
Dr. Luis Carmona’s “Carao for Anemia Study” observed 20 patients, male and female, for a duration of 2 months. 65% of the patients returned for post-carao blood testing after taking carao extract during the study. Below is a chart of what the study revealed:

Patients with improvement in both hemoglobin and hematocrit are shown in dark green
background. Patients with improvement in one value but not the other are shown in light green
background. The 42 year old diabetic patient in also shown in light green because the carao stopped the deepening of anemia expected in her case. Patients with no improvement in hemoglobin or hematocrit are shown in white background.
… The amount of iron [in carao] is very low, and besides, vegetable iron is poorly absorbed, and in this group of 13 people it helped 8 patients, this brings us to form the hypothesis that there is a factor in carao that favors the absorption of iron and its metabolism in the bone marrow.
Dr. Luis Carmona
Scientific studies carried out in Venezuela has shown carao to have generated hemoglobin and red blood cells during a 3 year study. Along with it’s anemic fighting properties, it has been shown increase energy (sexual and physical) and strengthen endurance / appetite.
Carao definitely seems worthy of investigation for anyone suffering from anemia — and perhaps men looking to get a boner — and anyone researching alternative methods or have come to a roadblock in search of a cure for anemia.

I an a 75 Year old male with Diabetis, can I use the Carao ?
Greetings
Yes, my father is 86 years old and diabetic. I give him Carao to increase his hemoglobin and iron and it is working slowly but surely. His hemoglobin was at 8.5 when we started and now it is at 10 which is quite good. He still needs to bring it up more and it has taken us about 2 months to do this, but it is working without any side effects of iron. I adjust his carbohydrate intake when he takes the carao during the morning and night and we have had no problems with his blood sugar. Good luck and keep trying the product, I love it and have tried it myself and in two weeks I had a very good result bringing my hemoglobin from 9.5 to 13 and that was due to feminine type blood loss. Again don’t stop trying, order it. God Bless!
I am looking forward to your answer, please!

Hi I am under treatment for CML ( Chronic Myloid Leukemia ) I would like to know sources from where I can get the extract to bring up my Hb which has dropped to 9 now
Carao Extract cured the anemia I’ve had all my life. My doctor prescribed iron for my anemia. Having taken it off an on all my life, I knew the side effects on my stomach and never even purchased the iron tablets.
Instead I took a chance on Carao Extract. It tasted AWFUL; but when I went back to my doctor, she believed the iron had worked when my blood count was up.
Feb. 09, I ordered 3 bottles of Carao Extract
for my husband who is 87 years old and experiencing low HGB and HCT. Our hope was to be
able to increase his numbers. We are very disappointed to find that after taking 4 tsps per
day for over 30 days, his count went down.I feel
we have been duped by these so called testimonials and wasted money that could have been put to better use.
