None of the foods/nutrients ever effected John's platelets....bad or good. We tried all the stuff that was supposed in increase platelets and they did nothing for him. There are so many other things involved with blood clotting. Sometimes it's a good thing to get your clotting time tested. Even when his platelets were in the 8 -20K range, his clotting times were normal. But then John did not have MDS and his platelets worked well. Vitamin K, found in green leafy vegetables, is good for improving clotting times. In fact, at one point when he was in the hospital, they gave him Vit K.
