I decided to go naturally. I’m not saying that it will work for everyone- seems to be working for me.
I had an allergic reaction to Hydroxyurea. Chemo pill specifically required for ET (Essential Thrombocytosis)
I found a natural supplement compared to Hydroxyurea, Resveratrol. 1500 mg a pill. I take 2.
My Dr than suggested Anagrealide.
Which will cause fainting, and dizziness. I already at some points experience these symptoms. I’m told is a blood pressure thing.
So!?- if I’m already lightheaded/dizzy. Why would I take a pill that will increase this, and might/could possibly faint.

I searched things to do naturally. I’m found Resveratrol.
Along with Vitamin E- which is a natural blood thinner- and an anti-coagulant.
Both taken together works good for me.

Your blood is a protein. Meat (red) steaks, hamburger, etc are also a protein.
The Mediterranean diet is recommended for people with ET. You want to do anything and everything to get that platelet number down.
You don’t want to increase it.
Leafy greens and vegetables are great source to aide in bringing that number down.
Water! I drink a gallon a day. Not saying you have too.
But water isn’t a great source to flush everything out of your system. Plus, it’s great for your kidneys.
Also- Cranberry juice. Drink regularly.
Salmon, shrimp. Etc. won’t increase your plates counts.
