ITP Special is a specialty formula of select herbs designed to promote healthy immune and platelet function. Although not entirely the same, some of the herbs are similar to the ones contained in Blood Well and Restore Immune II. This product is designed for small children or for those who can’t swallow tablets or capsules. This herbal compound is exclusively designed to support healthy platelet counts and immune system function for individuals who are concerned about the imbalances associated with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (I.T.P.) and other blood platelet deficiencies.*
This ITP Special herbal combination has been carefully formulated by the Hoang Family of medical doctors and master herbalists to be safe and effective for adults and children of all ages. They designed this formula to support the body's own healthy mechanisms that produce and stabilize platelet counts and coagulation function.*
We recommend that ITP Special be taken for 6-12 months at a time to optimize, detoxify and balance the body. The developing doctors of this product believed that a more balanced and detoxified body is better equipped to produce good quality platelets over time.*
An optional product available to take along with the ITP Kit is the ITP Booster product. It contains a concentrated herbal extract of Agrimonia herb. This herb is simply a booster to add additional support to the body for those at risk for bleeding, bruising and other coagulation and platelet dysfunctions.*
Another helpful product available for additional support is our Artemisia Capillaris product which is used to promote healthy detoxification of the body. Since toxins in the body can cause of great deal of stress leading to possible platelet dysfunction, herbal ingredients like Artemisia Capillaris can play an important role in supporting the body’s detoxification pathways that work to free itself from toxic overload.*
What is Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura?
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (I.T.P.) is a bleeding condition in which the blood doesn’t clot as it should. This is due to a low number of blood cells called platelets (PLATE-lets). Platelets are also called thrombocytes (THROM-bo-sites), and they’re made in your bone marrow (along with other kinds of blood cells). Platelets circulate through the blood vessels and help stop bleeding by sticking together (clotting) to seal small cuts or breaks.
Idiopathic (id-ee-o-PATH-ick) means that the cause of the disease or condition isn’t known in western medicine. Thrombocytopenic (throm-bo-cy-toe-PEE-nick) means there is a lower-than-normal number of platelets in the blood. Purpura (PURR-purr-ah) are purple bruises caused by bleeding under the skin. More extensive bleeding can create a three-dimensional mass called a hematoma (he-ma-TO-ma).
What are the symptoms of low platelets?
Low platelet symptoms often include easy bruising, bruising that lasts longer than it should, headaches, fatigue, blood blisters in the mouth, easy bleeding when brushing teeth, small red dots on chest and limbs (Petechia). Rarely, symptoms can include bloody stools and bleeding cuticles.
Low platelets are a common symptom to many ailments. People can how low platelets due to chemo-therapy treatments, viruses, cancers, bone marrow health problems, auto-immune diseases, as well as many other reasons.
