Traditional therapies for Thrombocytopenia are not very easy to swallow. It is really a tough thing to go through. I can understand all of you people going through this. I know how it feels to see a loved one take these treatments without really getting any permanent long term benefits. The purpose of many of the treatments used today for a low platelet count is to reduce the body's immunity. The problem with this is that reducing the body's immunity can predispose you to other diseases such as infections and even cancer. But read on and let's uncover a natural alternative approach that can really help low platelets.
Weakening the body's immunity is not always the best
Weakening the immune system through medications is the traditional conventional approach for ITP blood disorder. Sometimes this is needed specifically if the platelets have reduced to a point where it becomes dangerous for the person. This is understandable and acceptable. But this approach fails to be of benefit in the long run.
Many do not respond to this approach. This makes the attending doctor reach over to more strong medications that usually have more adverse effects. Some of these medications are used in the treatment for cancer.
A long term approach
Holistic herbal and natural remedies offer a good alternative to those with ITP. A natural approach should have:
A nutritional program high in raw foods and antioxidants
This program should help in some way to manage stress or at least give some recommendations
Nutritional supplementation used wisely to prevent low platelets
Should also recommend juicing vegetables and fruits to obtain more natural antioxidants
Herbal medicine used wisely
Do not expect to find a miracle herb online and suddenly get miraculous results. Especially if you do not know how to use herbs correctly. Many get discouraged when they do not get results even though they are doing things wrong.
A natural herbal and nutritional support needs to be holistic and not exclusive. And sometimes you will need to combine natural with conventional treatments.
But be patient and remain constant. You can receive a lot of help for your low platelets if you follow a natural remedy program . This approach will definitely help you increase your low platelet count.
