Hi @suetex, I’ve read the same article from Pub Med, along with other papers and appreciate your sharing the information. I just wanted to put the disclaimer in that this may not be for everyone and it’s important to speak with our oncologists before taking these supplements. Some may appear safe but they’re unregulated and ‘unknown’ quantities for potential impact with cancer patients and medications.

For instance, with my blood cancer I wasn’t able to have turmeric or pomegranate juice…two powerful antioxidants that were really tough to give up. But they would interfere with my treatment. Now that I’m past all that, I’m back to my favorites.
There are some very positive attributes with Papaya Leaf Extract with its anti inflammatory properties. I know your goal is to increase platelet levels and there are some studies which show that papaya leaf extract may increase platelets levels in patient with Dengue fever. But PLE may also have anticoagulation properties which would could be dangerous for patients receiving frequent blood and platelet transfusions, increasing the risk of bleeding. It may also interact with certain medications, affecting their efficacy or increasing side effects.
That aside I’m looking forward to your blood test results! Hopefully you see some positive numbers! Let me know, ok? ☺️
