Not sue if this will help, but when I did a research study to try and get rid of my phobias of doctors, my platelet count was very low. Years later I read a study by Dr. Hans Hertle who researched the effects of eating microwaved foods. He found out that blood changes (WBC, RBC, platelets, etc) can and are effected simply by eating microwaved foods. This story was profiled in the book Search for Health, by Tom Valentine. Once I nixed the microwave, I feel better at least my blood is normal anyway.
