Hello my name is Patryk and I am new to the platform,

I stumbled across one of your You tube channels by accident for just over 2 years now and I must say it is thanks to You how my health awareness and “awakening” got started.  Thank You for that with all my heart as I feel my entire family is benefiting from this.

I was hoping to get some potential insight on Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) or low platelet count.  My son (9yrs old) has been dealing with this since he was 4.  His blood platelet counts have been stable in the range of 20,000-40,000/μL of blood, which is quite low for normal counts are 150,000-350,000.  After several tests the hematologist stated that platelet production is not an issue but his system is destroying them pretty efficiently.  All other blood key markers are spot on.  His typical platelet counts are in the range where he can function day to day without treatment but not high enough to lead a normal kid life playing sports or jumping around without unsightly bruising and us worrying all the time for his well being.  Otherwise he hardly ever gets sick, never had ear infections as a child, don’t recall him every being on antibiotics.  Honestly I am tired of routine blood monitoring and don’t what the toxic chemical meds/treatments for him anyway.  The doctor has also brought up a potential splenectomy as a future alternative…  :0 . I mean, really!!?  Obviously traditional medicine is not the way to go here.

It is my understanding that ITP is a form of autoimmune disorder.  I have spent the past two years researching all sorts of alternative treatments, reading books/articles on Gemmotherapy, Oligotherapy, Homeopathics, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine.  Also, I’ve been learning from other sources: You especially Marla (love your attitude, approach, knowledge, and desire to help others heal), Dr. Thom, Dr. Axe, Dr. Berg, Max Lugavere to name a few.

All this research has lead to our entire family changing how and what we eat.  We have always eaten healthy home cooked food with as much grass fed and organic sources as possible.  But as of last two years we’ve cut out almost all mainstream processed food & snacks, sugar, all veg/corn/soy oils, fast food, and severely limited gluten.  Kids only eat sugar when we go out for ice cream maybe once every 1-2 weeks.  We use stevia, yacon syrup, and occasionally maple and honey.

My sons current treatment approach: (going on 4 months now – next blood work is in December).

•  Genestra Hemo-gen (Tamarisk, Dogwood, Hornbeam) along with Oligo Cu & MnCu (3 weeks on, 1 week off; 3 rounds then 1 month off).
• Daily probiotics (Mary Ruth’s), c0d oil (Nordic Naturals), multi vitamins (SmartyPants)
• I also frequently put Ashwaganda and Medicinal mushrooms(Naturealm Sacred 7)  into his smoothies.

I’ve read about additional potential herbal/gemmo treatments such as: Sheperd’s Purse, Yarrow, Field Horsetail, Nettle, Dog Rose, and Papaya Leaf but have not tried those to date.

Anyways, sorry for the book but wanted to give some back story on where we are and how we got here.  I understand you cannot give full treatment protocols as every case is different but I would appreciate any additional insight on how to help my son boost his platelet count and rid himself of ITP.  Could a virus or parasite be in part responsible?
