I am so sorry to hear that you relapsed. I will have to look for some specific to platelets but off the top of my head, Vitamin d3 and K2 (45 mg/day) may be useful overall. Thorne Research has the K2 and I think Life Extension has a formula for bones which include 45 mg K2.

I remember reading about using Sesame seed oil for platelets, also known as Perilla Oil but can't find the info right now. High dosages can reduce platelet aggregation like blood thinners but shouldn't be an issue at lower doses. John was able to take omega 3 oils when his platelets were at 5K. I recall that it took at least 6000mg of fish oil in order for it to have a blood thinning effect. It helps to know your clotting time. We found his own low platelets worked very well. I'll keep looking though.
