Natural Alternatives To Increase Platelets Backed By Scientific Evidence

Many people suffer from low platelets.  One of the biggest causes of low platelet counts is ITP Blood Disorder which is an autoimmune condition that decreases platelets. This condition requires doctor's care but you can also assist your doctor to reverse low platelet counts using all natural alternatives.

You may at first think this to be just wishful thinking or some kind of scam but proven natural methods are backed by scientific evidence.

I have an autoimmune disease called lupus and there are also natural remedies for this that I have found effective. The point is, all natural treatments shouldn't be overlooked for any ailment, condition or disease especially for ITP.

Remember, you should always be under doctors care and standard medical treatments are needed especially if counts are below 50k. The situation becomes an emergency below 20k and can require hospitalization. But all natural remedies can be used as a "complementary" alternative to your current medical treatment.

In fact many doctors are now recognizing the value of implementing additional natural methods along with standard treatments. Your doctor should at least be willing to cooperate with your wishes, be sure to communicate them to him or her.

There is a fantastic book written about how all natural methods can be used to end low platelets. The title is Conquer Low Platelets and is written by Dr. Louis Cruz and is a must read if you have ITP. He has spent a lifetime successfully treating family members and his patients with all natural methods.

All references to the scientific evidence to support his claims and treatments are available at the end of the book in the bibliography. If you would like to read more about this publication you can go here - Dr. Louis Cruz's Website

Are You Completely Absorbed In Your ITP Blood Disorder? Or Can You Still Feel Compassion?

I stayed up late last night following the events of the 8.9 quake and subsequent tsunami in northern Japan. My heart and prayers go out to those affected by such catastrophic events.

This morning I was reading about more consequences that have reached closer to where I live, northern California, specifically Crescent City.  Not the damage of Japan but total destruction of the harbor and surrounding areas. Again, lives upset and changed forever.

Events like these may make our own health issues pale in comparison but you get to decide whether they have a negative or positive effect on you and your health, the choice is yours.

Let me try to explain.

Low platelet count or any autoimmune disorder can be drastically affected by our feelings. Events like this can effect our mood and create anxiety or stress that is a burden to our health. Now we can worry about events like this to the extent that they cause us unneeded stress and anxiety and have negative effects on our health or we can create something positive because of events like these.

Giving some time to meditate about the plight of others is a good thing. Takes the focus off of ourselves for a while. We can even realize how many blessings we actually have compared to others. Our lives, family, friends and may others. We may not be in a position to do much for ones suffering from the current catastrophe but we can use this event to remind us to always be willing to help the ones we can.

This will keep us a active member of our society and especially give one a sense of worth, something very important when activities are limited by a disability such as low platelets. A positive attitude is very important to our health and what better way to maintain one than putting the interest of others ahead of our own when ever possible or our circumstances allow for it.

So take some positive action to the benefit of others around you, in the long run everyone comes out the winner.

Your Options With Low Platelet Count - Standard vrs Natural Treaments

The signs and symptoms which are related to the low platelet count are nasal hemorrhaging, forearm discoloration into purple or red color, gum line bleeding and bruising or small dark spots over a large area of the body to mention a few. The standard treatments promoted by the medical profession can be scary and haven't changed much over the last 25 years.

One of the primary ways of handling low platelet count is to give blood transfusions or platelet transfusions. Other typical treatments for low platelet count are prescription medications such as Prednisone or Danazole or other steroids, surgical treatment (spleen removal) and even chemotherapy. These are very drastic procedures and risky to say the least. That is why one should seriously research this condition if experiencing it and be sure to always get a second opinion.

Low platelet count is truly one of those conditions which can be difficult to find the root cause.  Low platelets are often brought on by various  controllable issues such as abuse or even normal use of prescription drugs,  Vitamin and mineral  deficiencies and in many cases excessive alcohol consumption. While your blood contains a low volume of platelets, you will be in danger of mild to serious  hemorrhaging. This means you will have to take safety precautions to avoid even the smallest of injuries.

Low  platelet  count signifies that the bloodstream has too little Thrombocytes or specialized blood cells known as platelets that help to aid in blood clotting. Left unchecked it will eventually be followed by problems like hemorrhaging from gums, stool or urine. It usually is the indication one of a variety of different critical medical conditions which may include liver disease, lupus, a deficiency in minerals, spleen disorder or a nutritional deficiency.  In accordance with some clinical references, the Thrombocytopenia or the low blood platelets suggests an individual is definitely not acquiring ample blood cells which is usually a sign of infection or maybe the medical problem like auto immune disease.

Sadly many people look at alternative treatments for low platelet blood disorder with the same mind set as traditional medicine, being more concerned with instant instead of long term results. Because of this they are mostly concerned with treating symptoms and never really get to the root of the problem. But if you are interested in long term and permanent results there are various methods to Increase Platelets Naturally without the need of nasty medications that can harm the body with serious unwanted side effects. 

At the minimum ITP blood disorder is usually curtailed, but can even be totally corrected simply by looking after yourself utilizing natural strategies. Identifying triggers that upset your immune system and cause it to attack healthy platelets is a process of trial and error. One must go for the most common causes first then proceed to less common triggers if no improvement is made. If necessary more in depth screening with Bio tracker technology may be used to discover the more challenging triggers to ITP.  This as well as an state-of-the-art type of screening utilizing DNA samples is helpful. A simple natural approach can not only restore your low platelets to normal levels but can do so without having invasive surgical procedures or having to take prescription medications so widely promoted be today's mainstream medical professionals.

Increase Platelets Naturally | Curing vrs. Healing

Can Low Platelet Blood Count or ITP Blood Disorder be cured? Well that depends on what you mean by the term "cure." If you want your doctor to give you a pill that will make your ITP Blood Disorder disappear... the magic bullet so to speak than the answer is no. There is no cure. The Medical Profession hasn't found one as of yet and most likely won't in the near future. So if you are depending on your doctor to cure you... it isn't going to happen.

Unfortunately most people view alternative medicine with the same mentality as conventional medicine. They look for a specific herb or vitamin that will get rid of their disease. This is unlikely. And because of this mentality or approach is the norm many more are even discouraged to even look into the benefits to being able to Increase Platelets Naturally.

Healing on the other hand is a better approach. What is healing? Healing is taking control of your own body and accepting responsibility for your own health. Looking for answers, discovering things that need to be done. This would include finding bad habits that need to be curtailed or even eliminated and taking action. Many times this alone can restore health.

Healing can also involve the use of herbs, vitamins, diet, life-style and other natural therapies. Healing involves getting in tune with your body and discovering your personal laws of health and obeying them. In short, empowering your own immune system to heal your own body. We are talking about addressing overall health and not just a specific issue such as low platelet count.

When your body is not healthy or under some form of stress then conditions manifest themselves and in this particular case platelet counts drop. Then that leads to other issues such as bleeding bruising and other symptoms. If you are willing to obtain the healing of your own body than you can be freed from ITP Blood Disorder.

See you soon and wish you the best...

Good Health to You,
Laura

P.S. Have you read "Conquer Low Platelets" by Louis Cruz? It deals in depth with what we were just talking about. He is giving away the first 18 pages for free! You can get it TODAY... click here.

Increase Platelets Naturally | May Take Time - Be Patient

Read some interesting comments on how to increase platelets naturally and thought I might share them with you. The life of a platelet is 10 days on average so the body is constantly refreshing the supply. If for some reason your platelets are being consumed in a shorter time the body can step things up a notch or two to make up the difference if it has the proper resources. That is why a healthy diet is so important. Anyway, take a look at these posts, some very helpful information to say the least.


"March 6th, 2010 at 2:32 am
One of the reasons of having low platelet count is deficiency of Folic acid and Vitamin B12. Medicines can help BUT check with your doctor first. And by intake of food items rich in Vitamin C like Gooseberry, Orange, lemon etc. It’s a slow process to recover platelet count back to normal in adults. Platelet count which shows an increasing trend is a positive sign. Take medicines under the consultation of Hematologist only."source


Although they may be necessary, medications taken to increase platelets can have adverse long term affects. For this very reason a healthy natural approach can be very beneficial. Natural methods may take a little longer, but they do seem to hold better and the side effects are negligible if any.

Increasing platelets naturally is often overlooked or not taken too seriously and this is understandable especially if ones condition is severe however natural methods, no matter how simple they seem should be part of your arsenal against low platelet count.

Good Health to You,

No More Low Platelet Blood Count - Naturally Increase Platelets

If you are struggling with a low platelet blood count than no doubt you would be very interested in how to increase platelets while avoiding surgery, steroids or chemotherapy. These treatments are standard treatments for serious platelet dysfunction or more commonly called ITP.

ITP is in reality an autoimmune disease. This means that your immune system is the cause of your low platelet blood count. Your immune system, which is supposed to protect you from diseases and help to control the body's healing processes, is confused or even out of control. Now, for some reason it feels that your own platelets are a foreign material and is destroying them faster than they can be made.

The medical profession's standard course of treatments is to suppress your immune system so it slows down or even discontinues its rebellion against your platelets. The problem is, this is a very tricky course and more often than not this treatment, if successful, leaves you with a damaged immune system. With your resistance lowered you now have all kinds of other problems to deal with.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to end your low platelet blood count and increase platelets until you completely regain your health and save your immune system? Well I am here to not only tell you that it is possible but that many other have succeeded in doing so.

Imagine, no more low platelet blood count, no more bruising or bleeding, no hospital or emergency room visits and NO MORE FEAR. As you turn things around and increase platelets your platelet dysfunction will disappear. You will be able to go back to living a normal life.

The beauty of this is it is way safer than present medical treatments for platelet dysfunction or ITP. You will learn how to use ALL NATURAL TREATMENTS to increase your platelets. If you think you might be interested in finding out a little more detail about what I am talking about I encourage you to download our FREE eBook in the upper right corner. I hope this information helps you greatly as it has others.

Good Health To You,
