Red light therapy for ITP

Red light therapy for ITP was created by Disciple
Hi.  I found a research article stating red light therapy reversed ITP on mice.  I could not get the link pasted in here so just google red light mice itp.  The article is in the NCBI database.:

So I tried red light therapy for my ITP.  I did 3-4 times a week for a month at home  The light is an LED with 660 nm visible red light and 850 nm infrared.  It has worked so far, with no side effects except relaxation.  Time will tell.  My platelets went  from 93 to 131 on one month.  I also drank one cup of papaya leaf tea 5 x week.  I bought a huge bag of organic super cheap tea bags online.  Some of my immune markers on my CBC also improved a tiny bit, like WBC, neutrophils and a few things that were low.  I got a little more energy and slept a little better.  Hope this helps somebody.  Stay strong, you are beautiful!

It looks like it’s been a month since your post. Any update?

I started papaya leaf pills several months ago and think they were maybe doing something but then they dropped my meds too much and I crashed. Trying to level out again.

To my knowledge, the evidence for ITP in humans is currently very limited.

Disciple -  If you did light therapy 3-4 times a week and drank papaya leaf tea 5 times a week and your count went from 93 to 131 how do you know which brought your count to 131?  And what is you current count?
