Are Cranberry Pills Effective For Low Platelets?

I have low platelets (43 to 175) the last 9 months. At least that when I discovered it. I understand red foods such as tomatoes and berries are good for me. Would this include cranberries? I understand there is now a cranberry pill. Would that work? I'm 70 and in good health.
