Hi - has anyone had any significant changes in their platelet count since taking aloe Vera juice. I am on the trial drug fostaminib and my levels have been between 40 and 55 - I started taking aloe Vera juice 10 days ago and my levels were up to 75 yesterday - not a massive jump I know but they have never been this high before so wondering if it was just a coincidence or if the Aloe is doing something! Thanks

Hi No I heard it was good for my body so I took it but I asked my consultant if it was ok to take first I also take a multi vitamin, omega 5 fish oils, folic acid and papaya tablets my consultant said for me it was ok to take them all but you should ask your own consultant first as I have not taken any medication yet
