In jan. Jack's platelet count was 87 BILL/L and in April has dropped to 67. He was diagnosed 6-03, SCT 12-03 & 7-04. Thal/dex for about 2 years but has been off all meds for over a year. He feels pretty good most of the time. He does get tired easily but that is because he is anemic. His HGB dropped from 11.5 to 10.8 Jan to Apr. Dr is reluctant to do the procrit again because of some things she has read in the medical journals.

My question: is there something we can do to help raise his platlet counts? A food or supplement that would help? I looked online and found a place that sells some vitamins that cost about $120 per month. If they worked that would be fine but I worry about putting something into him that I don't know more about.

Thanks so much
