How To Increase Platelet Count?
Health — By Kok Kuan on March 11, 2009 at 12:46 AMDear readers,
As mentioned in my previous post, my sister’s platelet count dropped to the critical zone a few weeks ago and it went up to a stable condition. However her latest blood test results recently showed that it had dropped to 76 which is not a good sign at all.
If anyone knows or have heard of any ways to increase the platelet count, please leave your suggestion or comment here. No matter whether it is a home remedy or medication, all are welcomed.
Thanks for everything, your suggestion and comments will be appreciated.
Thank you.

I think its best to listen to the doctor.
After all, he is the most qualified person. =]
Anne Loether, i will never say any of the methods that we and other readers suggest is 100% works. Is best for u to refer to your doctor first as what Christopher said.
Best of luck, if there is any updates about ur nephew, u are very welcome to share with us here, we hope that we and all readers can help.
Thanks Christopher and all others who have given very valuable information on Dengue fever, My sister in law is affected by Dengue and now admited to hospital and she also has blood sugar (136).
1) Please let me know what is the quantity and frequency does she has to consume papaya leaves juice.
2) If Dengue affects diabetic patient, does the platlets count will increase immediately or will react slowly.
Thank you
Another information to add, my sister-in-law’s platlets count is 42. The count is fluctuating from 28 to 50 and now its 42
Dear Janardhan,
Take ONLY the GREEN part of the leaves (remove the veins which are yellow in colour). A single leaf should suffice, and make sure you add some water too. Don’t forget to sieve it too! =]
I am not a doctor so I can’t really help you on your second question. However, from my experience with the leaves, my platelet count takes a day or so to show and increase. I am not diabetic though. =]
Thank you.
Thanks Christopher
Janardhan, usually people will have honey include in the papaya leaves mixture, but since your sister-in-law has diabetic, in my own opinion honey is 99% not advisable.
Take care.
Thanks Kok Kuan for good piece of advice
Try Homeopathic medicine “SEPIA 30″. You can get it in liquid form. Try 5 drops 3 times a day for 4 days then 3 drops 3 times a day. Check platelets after 4 days and that should show you the result if it is improving or not. This is safe for diabetics.
Regard,
Dr. Sanath Hettige, who conducted the research on 70 dengue fever patients, said papaya leaf juice helps increase white blood cells and platelets, normalizes clotting, and repairs the liver.
Speaking to Sri Lankan news agency Lankapuvath, Hettige said these are the main aspects of the body that are affected by dengue fever.
There is a condition to this remedy, however.
According to Hettige, the papaya leaf juice will not be as effective during the final stages of dengue fever since, by then, the patient’s organs are already badly affected by the disease.
Given this, he suggested that patients consume the remedy as early as possible.
Juice recipe
Hettige said adults should consume 10 ml of fresh papaya leaf juice (without water, salt or sugar) twice a day, along with their prescribed medication, to get its full effect.
Kids aged between 5 and 12, meanwhile, were asked to take in 5 ml 2 times a day.
Here’s how to make papaya leaf juice, as told by Hettige to Lankapuvath:
1. Take fresh, mature leaves from a papaya tree. Leaves from the “Red Lady” papaya (papaw) variety are more effective.
2. Wash the leaves with clean water.
3. Crush the leaves in a pestle, without water or salt.
4. Squeeze the crushed leaves to extract the juice.
Durian also a cure?
Durian, known for its distinct taste and odor, is also rumored to be a cure for dengue fever. Like papaya leaves, durian is said to do wonders to a patient’s platelet count.
In a hospital in Davao City, several dengue patients are consuming the fruit in hopes of recovering from the disease, a local newspaper reported over the weekend.
The Department of Health, however, said that no study has been conducted yet on the efficacy of durian on dengue fever cases.
“There’s no established proof yet,” Dr. Jo-anne Lobo, specialist in infectious diseases among children, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Dengue fever is an acute illness caused by a bite of a striped Aedes aegypti mosquito. In the Philippines, dengue fever outbreaks usually occur during the rainy season, or from June to September.
Common symptoms include fever, headache, rashes, severe muscle pain, and a drop in platelet count. In extreme cases, hemorrhaging and death can follow.
Dear Elaine, thanks for your explaination here.
This will be a very good information for everyone
u should drink more water & juices and avoid oily and spices
Google Maggi Pier or Louis Cruz. Both have devoted their lives to treating ITP or Low Platelets. Both have been motivated by suffering family members. The first is a Naturopathic and the second is a MD.
Maggi has a free resource and Dr. Cruz has a digital book on the subject. Both promote all natural methods.
Both can be easily contacted and Dr. Cruz replies quickly.

” I think its best to listen to the doctor. After all, he is the most qualified person. =] “.
. Doctors told us this would be wasting our time, hmmm. Great for science that i do believe in, but to bad for the limitation in Nutrition that doctor take as a training. Nutrition training should be revised in a doctors training, we are in 2011. Thank you !
I do agree, although I will not limit myself to such qualification. My son was born with a low platelet count(8)due to a protein transfer from Mom giving birth. Believe me, yes doctors are greatly qualified, but also like to do experiments and want to rush a solution at times, especially young interns who need to make a mark for themselves. For instance for 6 weeks we where bombarded to do ANTI-D after 15 platelet transfusions and so much more including Prednisone. I refused the ANTI-D since the UK-banned and many other scientist that i consulted by email and phone worldwide told me that the survival chances would be slim in a baby (but doctors told us no problem), since bursted red cells would plug up his kidneys. Day and nite i read and read and confronted young and old doctors on this to find out in the end that no such experiment had ever been done known to them on such a young child. As for Mom we changed her diet totally and by doing this to a totally healthy diet the whole family followed in and we are all better, even if we did not have a low platelet count like Momma and baby. Baby after 15 weeks now has a platelet count of 550, without further intervention. Quite amazing. Now Mom is working hard on her diet and the results are surprising. Elaine you are helping us greatly today
Thank you ever so for you blog article.Much thanks again. Will read on…
Thank you, I have recently been looking for info about this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I have came upon till now. But, what about the bottom line? Are you certain concerning the supply?
Hello All,
First of all I give thanks to the Doctors out there who actualy care about their patients and not their paychecks. You have to all remember that doctors are scientist and we are Guinea Pigs for them, also Doctors are not always going to fully treat you, it is not in their best interest to do so, they are associated with major pharmaceutical companies and they must keep each other in business in order to make money. Everything in life is a business, College, Medicine, Hospitals etc. The best Doctor is yourself, always remember that.
I had a friend of the family who was in 3rd stage of an aggressive pancreatic Cancer bound to a wheelchair, could not bend forward too much. I immediately put her in a strict anti cancer juice treatment all natural along with a special Chinese Herbal Medicine and 3 weeks of the treatment she was able to stand up and use a walker, I told her not to tell her doctors and she was asked what she was doing, nurses and Doctors told her to stop using whatever she is using because of so-called side effects. She got scared into it , stopped taking my treatments , 2 weeks later was back on the chair, 3 months later she passed away. So be careful what you absorb from doctors, some are there to help most are just waiting on a paycheck.
For Platelets = Vitamin K, Shark Liver Oil or Spinach & Blackberries Mixed with Water in a Blender
For Swollen Lymph Nodes, Auto Immune Disorders, Viruses and Bacterias = Green Tea, Raw Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar, Natural Lemons (Yellow Lemons) more powerful than Chemo
For Arthritis = Cod Liver Oil/Shark Liver Oil, Application of Bee Stings in Area of Arthritis and glucosamine chondroitin
