Low platelet count

[kvrajan]

Any suggestion to improve the present platelet count of around 10,000. Is Papaya leaf extract helfpful ?

Hi kvrajan,

Yes, at least in my case, papaya leaf extract helped me regained back and maintained my normal count. I'm still enjoying having my 200+ count after I had hit rock bottom at only 3 counts. Yes, 3 counts and that was in December 2013.

But, I guess not only papaya leaf extract helps elevate ones platelet but also a lot of other greens, especially here in the tropics, as me here in the Philippines, when traditional table fare includes concoctions of local green leafy vegetables.

You can also try the Greens of Dr. Ben Kim (Google him for his Greens and for his detailed discussion on reversing autoimmune disorder). I took his advice on the latter and I also did take his Greens, which I guess also helps me a lot.

Hope my experience on ITP would also work the same to a lot of us here. Good luck and God bless!

Many thanks to you for your prompt reply and advice. May be I should also try this. I shall revert after taking this and a subsequent check up.

Thanks once again.

Thanks, friends. However I take Coumadin so that's not an option for me. I have little options. Labs today. Actually, my platelets went from 44 to 66,0000 in 18 days, without taking anything, but today I have labs. They can drop just as quickly.

I was told that over the counter herbs and natural remedies would not work such as papaya leaf extract; etc. However, I do believe they should give us a diet to follow such as the greens; broccoli; cauliflower; kale; spinach; etc. I am sure there is a host of other natural remedies to help with platelets; but they do not want to disclose same. I know I used to drink a lot of coffee a few years back and have tapered off to 2 in the morning; but now that I am on Nplate; I need the coffee to stay awake. I do not feel focused at all and do not have the energy level I used to ..... so I am getting a little bit worried ....
