How can I increase my platelet count?
by Shanna Tennyson
I have cut out alcohol of course and have been juicing daily. Also I have reduced any sugar and salt. No fatty food (I never liked junk food anyway). I cook from scratch for my family and we follow (not strictly) a healthy whole food diet. My normal juicing drank in morning consist of combinations of the following: Beets, Carrots, Apple, Ginger, Kale, Spinach, Cucumber, Pear, Melons, Beet Greens and Dandelion Greens. Thank you for your time. Shanna =================== From Sara: Hi Shanna, In my country Malaysia, dengue fever is very common. Dengue fever is caused by viruses that are being transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes. Some of the symptoms of dengue fever are: very high fever, nausea, headache and dangerously low blood platelets count. Two of my friends were admitted to the hospital last year and we helped out by making for them, fresh juices from papaya leaves. Papaya leaf is known to contain very high amounts of vitamins A, C, E, K, B Complex and especially high in B17 (laetrile, which is used for the treatment of cancer). After taking the papaya leaf juice, my friends' blood platelets count increased rapidly and they were out of the hospital within days. One of them reported their platelets count at a dangerous level of only 8 (normal count is 150 and above). One week after she was discharged, her platelets count shot up to above 300. To make this papaya leaf juice, clean the leaf and carefully cut out the stem. Juice the whole leaf using a gear juicer. If you don't have a gear juicer, blend the leaves using a food processor/blender, then put them in a filter cloth to squeeze out the juice. Try to get 1 tablespoon worth of this fresh juice to be drunk twice a day. The taste is horribly bitter so get a piece of lemon to standby for sucking afterwards. DO NOT drink water (or other fluids) immediately after to allow the concentrated juice to work its miracle. I believe that by continuing to take the papaya leaf juice it might even help with your other problems. If you can't find fresh papaya leaves, you may consider using this papaya leaf extract. Some people have found it to be beneficial.  Get well soon, Shanna. God bless.
