I am also trying to lower my platelets naterally, the diet above tells you to eat broccoli and leafy greens, but they do not lower platelets it's the opposite. I read that you should not eat gluten or lactose, so i started drinking lactose free milk, it raised my platelets. I amstill working on my diet, I am confused about oranges and grapfriut, can I eat or not.

What is your diagnosis ? Diet is great , but you need to get to the root of the problem. Please seek advice from someone who specializes in blood disorders . Have blood work , genetic testing to rule out other cancers , and mutations , which could lead to other complications.

Welcome to Connect, @clickpaw. There are diets posted online to potentially lower platelets by reducing inflammation in the body. But understanding the reasons behind elevated platelet counts is essential for determining effective strategies for reduction.
Are you working with a hematologist to find out the underlying cause for your elevated platelets? Have you had any genetic testing done to check for acquired mutations in genes such as CALR or JAK2 which can cause Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)?
