Suggest Natural Remedies To Increase Platelet Count

my brother who is 72 has leukemia AML. He is undergoing decitabine treatment. His platelet count right now is 31and has even dropped lower. He has already needed a few platelet transfusions.
How can it be increased naturally? We have lots of papaya trees in our country. Will taking juice from 2 papaya leaves really help? How often to drink each day? Before or after meals? What other natural foods can he take to help?Thank you

Hai,

As to increase the platelet count Papaya leave will help. take in daily as you doing it. yet now there is no study conclude how much to take (quantity). But studies shows improvement in platelets after taking Papaya leaves.taking in empty stomach will absorb effectively.
I also advise to take Grapes(wash properly before taking),pomegranate,dates,fig to support the production of platelet.

thank you
hope i answered your query
