Hi, Christinele, I am curious as to how long ago you were diagnosed with ET. To help with your question: According to Google search, foods that reduce platelet aggregation are dark chocolate (yes!), garlic, ginger, onion, purple grape juice, tomato and wine. As I mentioned in my reply to arti4, we each have a choice as to what we put into our bodies. I, too, am at present feeling healthy and happy, without symptoms, so will refrain from the hydroxy, but will monitor my platelets as usual. Wishing you many more good years ahead!

Thank you, wishing you good health as well. I was diagnosed December 2022. Platelets are staying in the 500’s. My physician wasn’t pleased with my decision, but at this point I need to do what I feel is best for me.
It was interesting he never said anything about diet and yet when I went to my optometrist he mentioned that I should eat spinach and salads in moderation!
