Has anyone tried Wheatgrass for ITP? I have researched Wheatgrass and found a number of people who have raised their platelet counts. The chlorophyll in Wheatgrass seems to work with your blood to help raise platelets. I am going to try some good organic Wheatgrass and see if it helps.

We got papaya leaves and juiced them through a wheat grass type juicer.

I rinsed and dried fresh papaya leaves. Cut out the stems and large veins. Then I put the leaves through a wheat grass juicer. Very little juice comes from these leaves. I juiced twice- each time I made enough for 2.5 days.

Then I measured 25ml (approx 1.5 tablespoons) into separate cups and covered them and refrigerated them. He would drink one in the morning and one in the evening. After drinking he would put water in the cup to get the residue stuck in the cup and drink the water.

It was more simple than I actually thought it would be.

His counts continue to rise and last blood test he was at 226! (Update- now at 240!)

I read about a study they did w/ papaya leaf juice and mice that it affected the two genes that control the production of platelets. One gene measured 15x the activity than the mice in the control group and the other gene measured 13.4x the activity. It was a very effective treatment for my husband.

There are lots of studies you can read proving the effectiveness of papaya leaves.

Could you inform me, where did you get the papaya leaf from? Also although it improved the platelets, did it improve how he felt health wise. My platelets are very low and sit at 7. I am always very tired. Regards Jan
