How can we increase the platelets count (no blood transfusion) in a cancer patient? are there any natural solutions (food, vitamin complex etc)? thx

Intravenous water : Soluble vitamins can do it. Linus pauling worked with a scottish physician and found that large doses of vitamin c helped cancer patients. I/v vit c gets higher concentrations. Trouble is that vitamin therapy has not yet become an accepted approach.
