Platelets

Hi Anne,
Here is a list from patients with a special kind of disease with low platelets called Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura. There are many drugs that can give low platelets .

Then we are told to eat many kinds of food that should be good for us because that food increases bleeding tendency - we can avoid arteriosclerosis. Patients with low platelets donĀ“t want increased bleeding tendency and have to avoid everything with for example garlic/onions.

Kind regards
