Vitamin C?

I googled today "how can I raise my platelets?"(for my son actually). I found that if you take 1000mg of Vitamin C a day and also eat red fruits and veges and change the diet(no junk food), that the platelets may rise? I am going to mention to my 22 year old son about this and maybe that might help raise his platelets after the Winroe?

maybe we are grasping for straws, but I did read it:)

The Vitamin C myth has been around since I started here 14 years ago. I haven't seen anyone really benefit from it. I tried it...didn't work. However, it doesn't hurt and can help symptoms for some people.

Many have also tried Pineapple juice. That was big in the early 2000's.

I do the vitiman C thing. Not sure if it has any direct affect on Platelets. I have been in the 160-200k range for the past 21/2 years. Last Rituxin treatment was 21/2+ years ago.

Eating healthy is always a good idea, for lots of reasons, but I have never seen a reliable study that supports the notion that Vitamin C impacts ITP favorably. And, were it that easy, you would expect there to be lots of such studies. Counts bounce around a lot on their own and correlation is not causation.

I remember when the Vitamin C thing first started to circulate, in the 70s. I took enough Vitamin C to sink a battleship but unfortunately it never worked. Vitamin C replaced the "drink white grape juice" fad (I remember my parents carting cases of white grape juice into our house and I was told "start drinking").

That said, I'll try anything (and have tried everything) at least once. Each of us has to make his or her own decision.

Fortified Milk products

Vitamin D just isn't a naturally sourced source of nourishment within typical milk. Therefore, vitamin D is usually integrated. Commercially distributed milk, soy milk and also rice milk obtainable in containers tend to be found to include symptoms vitamin D.



Cod liver oil

Cod liver fish oil has been included in the listing of food resources of vitamin D. Aside from currently being a high source of vitamin D, it is additionally seen to be an excellent source of different wellness improving nutritional vitamins similar to vitamin A along with omega-3 fatty acids.



Egg Yolk

Egg yolk comes in the selection of organic food sources of vitamin D. Nonetheless, it is not a great choice for the people being affected by high-cholesterol.



Even though, fresh fish is certainly one of the greatest food resources of vitamin D, cooking food adequately prior to eating it is strongly recommended to prevent yourself from a myriad of parasitic infections. In addition to cooking food over hot temperatures, make sure you steer clear of deep frying, preferably select baked or even barbequed fish for wholesome preparing food.
