it's his first time today to have black stool since he was diagnosed last June 9. he is not taking any medicines. we are on the stage of waiting to see if his platelet will go up without any medicine.

I hope your doctor was able to give a decision about your son's black stools.

I've recently been trying:

Aloe vera juice

High dosage vitamin C

High levels of veg and fruit in my daily eating
