Amy Myers diet

[PS1976]

Has anybody tried the 30-day diet from Dr. Amy Myers' book 'The Autoimmune Solution'? Any luck with the diet for platelets number increasing or stabilizing?

I want to know too. Anybody please respond.

Yes. We tried autoimmune protocol diet for 4 months and now on Paleo and organic. She has also been on supplements and undergoing acupuncture. Platelets have climbed from 4k to 62k in 5 months.

Good to know, thanks! Have been a vegetarian all my life so finding it a little difficult to switch to meat but am seriously considering. Glad there has been a gradual improvement for you, good luck!

Just a quick follow up - Did you consult Dr. Myers or were you able to follow the protocol out of the book? Also, was there any other intervention in the increase from 4K to 65K? I was recently in the ER and the hospital with a count of 2K so currently on a 40mg pulse dose of dex, in addition to the many platelets and IVIG transfusions I got last week.

We didn't eat much meat either...I am now quite familiar with Paleo bacon and grass fed beef..ha ha! I just read of it on the internet and found a list of yes and no foods. No drugs at all. Also use bone broth, probiotics, raw beets, kale and cucumbers, fresh fruits, organic papaya extract, vitamin D, now also giving her pea protein "milk". She is still no gluten no dairy.
