subject: Thrombocytopenia - Discover Why Suppressing The Immune System Is Not The Only Way To Correct A Low P [print this page] Are you having a rough time with your thrombocytopenia therapies? I could imagine how tough this may be. I've seen relatives close to me go through these tough treatments and still with no response. Most of the therapies for a low platelet count are designed to suppress or destroy the immune system. But if your immune system is destroyed or at least weakened, what will happen if the body is exposed to infections or diseases such as cancer? Read this article and find out how you can help thrombocytopenia by improving the immune system and not necessarily destroying it.
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.
After taking steroids for so long, many times a doctor would have to start using drugs that are even stronger. Some of these drugs are in the chemotherapy class used for the treatment of cancer.
What works better in the long run?
A natural protocol will usually be more effective in some people.
A long term approach
Holistic herbal and natural remedies offer a good alternative to those with ITP. A natural approach should have:
1.A diet program high in antioxidants, raw foods but low in calories
2.Stress control is important since many times this is a factor that causes decrease in platelet count
3.Nutritional support that is used wisely to help in platelet production and prevention of platelet destruction
4.Vegetable and Fruit juicing provides a lot of antioxidants and may be included in such a program
5.The intelligent use of herbal remedies
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.
