Low platelets

My platletets are low. I was informed that blackstrap molasses and popcorn yes I said popcorn! Are known to raise platelete count. My Md said ok. I am stage 4. And am going to try for interferon 2try It is not contraindicted. so I have started. just gotta watch for rash and or loose guts. Has any one else heard of this? Thanks Das

that would be great are ya sure  its "blackstrap"?  Blackstrap is sorta the entrails of molassis. promacta has some not so good side effects  for just a bone marrow boost, so my doc says. that would be a very tasty way to go though I can make  minipopcrn balls. snack away. thanks for the good thought
