If you or a loved one is suffering from low platelet count, the anxiety caused and the disruption to every day activities can be unbearable. We are not designed to be sick or unhealthy. It not only affects our performance when it comes to every day task and responsibilities but also our mental health can be affected.

The purpose of this article is to lift your spirits a bit by not only letting you know you are not alone but also giving you an option to increase platelet count you may not have thought about. Hope is a powerful thing and if there is a possibility of solving a problem, especially one that involves our health or that of a loved one it can be a great motivator to take some positive action.

I myself suffer from an autoimmune disease, lupus. Although it does not have the same symptoms as ITP the end results are just the same. You become a prisoner to the condition. Your illness begins to control every aspect of your life. All things are scheduled around doctors visits, bouts of sickness and your imposed physical limitations.

For you (or your loved one) your low platelet count is constantly in your thoughts. Bruising and bleeding has to be avoided at all cost. This severely limits the things you can do physically not to mention that you are more tired than usual and don't always feel like being active anyway.

Of course you defiantly need to be under doctors supervision but you can take things a step further to have a more positive effect on your health. I am talking about increasing platelet count using all natural techniques. It used to be that most would scoff at the idea of natural alternative treatments for any condition or disease but the overall opinion in this is beginning to shift.

Natural methods are now being accepted as complementary treatment to standard medical treatments. There is even a trend towards doctors and health insurance companies recognizing them as valid alternatives. Many doctors now include them with their treatments.

With all that being said, if you want to Increase Platelet Count using natural techniques you will have to be proactive in your health. You will have to make it happen. It is a more tailored approach to the specific individual and doctors just don't have that kind of time for each patient. Let your doctor know about your wishes and he or she should be willing to cooperate with you.

The benefits of natural remedies is not only do they work but they have little or no side effects. Our bodies are designed to respond to natural things and these can trigger the body's own healing responses. It is a matter of giving your body the tools and resources to correct what is wrong.

Natural methods to Increase Platelet Count is also cost effective. They are reasonable and can be accomplished in the privacy of your home. No expensive doctors visits. Much information is available on the subject on the internet.

I recommend a publication written by Dr. Louis Cruz titled Conquer Low Platelets. It covers scientifically backed all natural methods he has used to successfully treat not only family members with ITP but also hundreds of others.
