A.R.A.I. has been performing anecdotal tests on a natural food substance called 'Flax Hull Lignans.' The most recent anecdotal test was on 100 people with HIV, with 75% of them exhibiting AIDS symptoms (cancer, thrush, mental fatigue, diminished strength and swelling glands for example). Flax hull ignans are harvested out of the hull of the flax seed. The people in the trial took a mere ½ tablespoon a day of flax hull lignans and 65% of them had positive health changes within the first 30 days of the 90 day test period. 97% reported positive health changes by the end of the study. Health changes included viral loads dropping (28% had viral loads drop to non-detectable), CD4 counts rising, energy increasing, appetites increasing, cessation of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Flax hull lignans have already been established as health super heroes by the scientific community. Quotes from the FDA, Mayo Clinic and American Cancer Society about flax hull lignans can be viewed at their website, www.AIDSHIVawareness.org, under the news tab in a document entitled, 'The Power of Lignans.'

The flax hull lignans that A.R.A.I. uses in their studies are the highest and purest concentration of lignans currently known. Flax farmer Curtis Rangeloff and a friend who goes by "Maw" are responsible for the process that produces this highly concentrated flax lignan product. Rangeloff was introduced to Dr. Daniel Daves, International Coordinator of AIDS Research Assistance Institute, through a mutual friend. Curtis asked Dr. Daves if he could locate a few hundred people with HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes and other various illnesses. He offered to donate lignans if they could do some rounds of testing using the all natural flax hull lignans.

After study of the product, A.R.A.I. agreed to test the lignans in three rounds of 100 people each. Two rounds would be in the U.S. and one round in Africa. After the three rounds of testing, it became overwhelmingly obvious that they had an all natural lignan source that was definitely making an impact on the health of very sick people including AIDS/HIV sufferers and cancer patients.

Once studies were completed and published, A.R.A.I. committed to send this product to 3rd world AIDS/HIV sufferers who could not reach proper medical attention due to travel limitations, finances or other hindrances. The main focus is on AIDS/HIV orphans in Africa.

Since adopting various orphanages and children's centers in South Africa and Swaziland, A.R.A.I has seen children come off of their death beds and go back to school, losing all symptoms of AIDS and regaining their health once again. Because of the wonderful nutritional benefit of the flax hull lignans, the children have also had height and weight growing spurts that have been very dramatic and pronounced.

A.R.A.I is now committed to assisting in bringing flax hull lignans to the undeveloped 3rd world nations where 28 million AIDS sufferers (3.2 million children) are in such desperate need of immune system recovery. A.R.A.I. is a non-profit organization, and all donations go directly to donating lignans overseas. Flax hull lignans can be purchased by the general public as well, and the proceeds go towards orphan immune building programs. A.R.A.I. is currently preparing to send a shipment of 10,000 (one month supplies) to the orphanages they support. A.R.A.I proposes that flax hull lignans be considered for the worldwide treatment of AIDS/HIV, as the product is natural and non-invasive, inexpensive, is easily transported and stored, and easily consumed.
