Wanted to start a new post specifically on garlic. I know some of you cant tolerate it but wanted to share my experience. I came down with a bad bad cold, in the summer, yup. What? I know when I get sick, my platelets drop but I was really feeling bad, they dropped low enough to get my attn. So I know an article said garlic isnt good for ITP. BUT. That doesnt mean it actually lowers your counts, it thins the blood for sure. In my case it helped me I think. Because I ate raw garlic while I had my cold, it helped me fight off the cold. Garlic has great ways of boosting your immune system in general. So since my immune system is a bit stronger, my platelets actually climbed 9 since Wed. My cold is going away and starting to feel better.
