Re: Low (very low) platelet count; any ideas?

My first instinct is acupuncture as spleen is mentioned. There is a spleen

meridian that can be worked on. I avoided surgery with acupuncture.

Hmm, I have to admit I'm pretty skeptical about acupuncture, and Binky is

far more so, so I don't think this is a viable option, but thanks for the

thought.

Understandable. Doesn't hurt as much as one would think, very fine needles,

never reused, very relaxing, I noticed improvement in first week. The

different electric release sensations to different points are interesting.

Chinese do say the spleen is source of life for others organs, distributor

of secretions, official in charge of distribution, transporter of energy. My

Dad had his spleen removed because of internal bleeding after his tractor

rolled on him. Can live without it. Did tell him pneumonia will be life

threatening without spleen helping. Not to put a scare with this just more

of my experience.
