Hi, sorry to hear about your side affects, we try and take what is advised but unfortunately it does not always agree with us. I have been following Anthony William (Medical Medium) blood clot diet for the last couple of months and have to say all my ET symptoms are not as bad as they were. I had become allergic to wheat and gluten some years ago and dairy was causing very bad headaches and having read Anthonys book it now makes sense having a blood disorder. I have my 3 monthly blood test next month and I will be very interested to see if all this has had an affect on my platelets. I am allergic to aspirin so I am also taking homeopathy, arnica 200 twice a day. I have also read a study that found that purple grape juice reduced platelets which again fits in with what Anthony says and as I am eating black grapes hopefully that will help. Hope you find something that works for you.
