Hi, agreed I’m holistic too and doing my best to not take more than this baby aspirin don’t even want that.

I’ve read cranberry juice, vegan diet, fish oil 1200mg, garlic oil 1000mg, ginger root 550mg, ginko biloba 125mg, turmeric 500mg, cinnamon 2000mg, vit D3 (no K) 10,000mg every other day, and Echinacea 400mg help platelets go down and thin blood.

Regarding exact dosing and supplements see a holistic/functional med dr to confirm.

Also no multivitamins anymore bc B12, A, etc. raise platelets.

I tried all that you mention plus Pomegranate, Feverfew, Fever Tree tonic, grape seed extract, walnut oil, etc. but after 2.5 years my plt count went to 2057 and I was experiencing extreme fatigue, so I started Hydroxyuria 500 mg, 1 a day. Now 1.5 years later the plt count is down to 757 and I was told to take 2 Hydro's a day, = 1000 mg. BTW, I have Polycythemia Vera and I just turned 76. but,,, I feel OK. No more fatigue, itching, left side upper body pain or bumps under the skin. BE CAREFUL of cinnamon, it will damage the liver if taken in large doses for extended periods of time.
