Despite his adversities, he has been blessed with an amazingly sunny outlook. Kidney disease has not stopped this extraordinary man from educating people and those who comes in contact with him, about the values of caring for their bodies. He does this through many presentations at various social events along with his job of 25 years as an Authorized Distributor, with Carico International Inc. Carico International as been in existence since 1967, and operates out of Fort Lauderdale Florida with distributors in over 30 countries world-wide marketing a line of household products promoting healthy lifestyles, topping the list with their unique Nutri-Tech air purification system and the Ultra Tech water treatment and filtering system. Rubaine’s Enterprises, in Road Town Tortola, has taken water filtration to a new level in the Territory and its environs in introducing these life saving commodities to customers. “Most people are concerned about the water they drink, but there is more to it than the water you drink. What about the water you shower with and brush your teeth with, are you not concerned about this?” Rubaine questioned, and further added that most people don’t. During an interview with the StandPoint, Rubaine pointed out many examples to put across his point of why unfiltered water is not only harmful for drinking purposes but also for your overall health. “Just imagine you are under the shower for 10-15 minutes, using unfiltered water, your body will absorb whatever bacteria in the water, these bacteria flows through your blood stream when used for brushing your teeth.
In recent tests conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, out of 103 brands of bottled water, one-third contained levels of bacteria or carcinogens that exceed purity guidelines, these water can be bottled up to two years before purchase. With the ultimate stainless steel model of Nutri –Tech water purifier system perfect for use in homes, restaurants, hotels, boats and aircrafts, these harmful substances in our water supplies could be a thing of the past. The high capacity cartridge in these purifiers varies in sizes and provides up to 2,000 gallons of water depending on your supply. The purifiers are available in both countertop and under counter models in addition to its Ultra –Tech water treatment system that filters the entire household water we us. This is considered a “must have” for this active hurricane season. The Portable Water Filter is ideal for out-door adventures and camping trips. Coupled with purifying your water, the Air Purifying System is designed to remove or reduce airborne viruses, strong odor problems and dust mites in your homes, making the air you breathe up to 99 percent cleaner- providing a safer, fresher, more comfortable environment which reduces allergy and asthma flare-ups. This energy efficient three-speed control has a high capacity cleaning power, purifying 800sq. feet two times per hour. Most Air Purifiers comes in 5 or 6 stages; Carico has 10 stages, including the Ultra- GWM-X Filter, used in the military to combat chemical war-fare, offering the ultimate protection from gases and odors. Rubaine, who is quite pleased to be a distributor of these high tech systems, has been battling with his illness, since he was diagnosed in June 2006, he is of a strong view that the water he used contributed to his illness. “I started using these products in 2007, and so it is my intention to get around to everyone, so that they can know the danger of water contamination,” he added. Rubaine, who is unlike most dialysis patients who often complain about being tired and feeling weak after going on the dialysis machine at the hospital, instead he is quite active and often has the energy to carry on regular tasks. The support from his family and the kind of food he eats determines Rubaine’s healthy lifestyle, as he is always eating his vegetables. “It’s a mind set thing, when I go on the machine I occupy my time by reading a book, other patients just fall asleep,” he said. “The Caribbean man” as he dubbed himself, is a native of Curacao, spent his earlier years in his father’s homeland, St. Kitts, mother was from the Dominican Republic, refers to the BVI as his homeland since residing in the Territory for over 42 years.
