A member asked:

Itp being an auto-immune disease, would a diet with less vitamin a, c and b6, proteins and probiotics to reduce the immune response be useful?

Dr. William Lages answered

No: ITP is an autoimmune disease in which platelets are destroyed and maybe even inhibited in production. Depending on the platelet count and clinical findings treatment can range from observation follow-up to multiple drug regimens. Dietary changes other than a well balanced and nutritional diet do not help.
