A Proactive Two Pronged Attack Is Needed To Increase Platelets

In order to Increase Platelets one needs to be proactive.
This means more than just going to the doctor.
This is a good start and is necessary but many sufferers of low platelets quit there.
But one shouldn't leave everything in the hands of medical doctors.
This is for several reasons.
First, doctors have a heavy work load, seeing scores of patients if not hundreds and only have a limited amount of time to spend on your situation.
Second, standard medical treatments haven't changed much in the last couple of decades and usually come down to powerful drugs or surgery, both with high risk and serious side effects.
In no way am I suggesting not seeing a doctor.
Anyone with low platelets needs to be under doctors care.
Especially when it comes to keeping tract of counts and taking test.
Also many doctors are becoming more open to alternative treatments and at least will be cooperative with your wishes.
Some have even taken extra schooling in areas in nutrition and natural treatments and can be especially helpful if you are fortunate enough to find one.
Setting the above aside, in order to Increase Platelets you will need to implement a two pronged attack.
The first is to stop engaging in activities that have a detrimental effect on your platelets.
This can be as simple as limiting exposure to direct sunlight, avoiding certain foods, staying away from chemicals and other products you may be sensitive to, changing life style habits including reducing stress.
This list goes on and on but the important thing is to start figuring out what are your personal triggers and doing your best to eliminate them.
The second is to implement things that are good for you and will contribute to increasing platelets such as including more healthy foods in your diet, getting the need amount of sleep, using herbs and other nutritional supplements and even implementing positive life style changes.
Doing things to improve your overall health can go a long way to allowing your body to heal itself.
Many times low platelets are caused by a confused immune system and once the above positive steps are taken the immune system starts functioning properly and stops destroying platelets.
The bottom line in all this is you will have to find out what will work for you.
You will need to take responsibility for your own health but by doing so you will have beneficial results not experienced by most who take no action.
When you hear about new treatments or remedies be sure to check them out.
You never know what you might discover.
For example I just recently read an interesting post about bitter Mellon tea for increasing platelets and will be looking into this further.
This is the information age so doing research into your situation and uncovering ways to Increase Platelets has never been easier.
