Platelets increase with Papaya leaf

Hi,
My Fatherin law is aged 77 years and an MDS patient. Recently his platelet counts dropped from 1,50,000 to 35,000. He was given RDP- 5 no's but platelets did not increase. After giving SDP (Single Donor Platelets), platelets increased to 85,000. But one week back again it dropped to 33000 in a matter of 10 days from 85000. On some doctors advice we started giving Papaya leaf juice (after washing the papaya leaf thoroughly and grinding the leaf, extracting juice from the same) 2 spoons in the morning and 2 spoons in the evening. We tested the platelets count after a week and found that the platelets have increased to 100000. We are quite happy about this and wanted to share with you all as it avoids unnecessary transfusion and saves money.
