What is the best way to increase platelet count naturally and safely during chemotherapy? what is the clinical consensus around papaya leaf juice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your dr: Do not take any herbal supplements with chemotherapy without discussing with your doctor first----significant side effects can occur. There is no natural way to increase platelets. Discuss your treatment options with your hematologist.
