Why I Believe Remission from ITP Is Possible: My Healing Manifesto of Faith and Hope
If you’re living with ITP and wondering if healing is even possible, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—scared, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. But today, I stand on the other side of that valley, in remission, with a message burning in my heart:
Healing is possible.
Not just symptom relief. Not just temporary remission. True, deep, life-changing healing.
Not just symptom relief. Not just temporary remission. True, deep, life-changing healing.
This is my personal healing manifesto—what I believe, what I’ve lived, and what I want you to know as you search for answers and hope.
I Believe the Body Was Made to Heal
Even when lab reports look grim, I believe your body is not broken—it’s communicating. Low platelets don’t mean your immune system has failed. It means it’s asking for help, for restoration, for a chance to reset.
I learned to stop fighting my body and started listening to it.
I Believe in Root-Cause Healing, Not Just Immune Suppression
Most conventional ITP treatment plans focus on suppressing the immune system. And while there may be moments where that’s necessary, I don’t believe that’s the only—or best—way.
I believe in working with the immune system:
- Removing toxic triggers
- Supporting the gut and liver
- Reducing inflammation
- Nourishing the body through anti-inflammatory foods and essential nutrients
For me, this meant combining natural therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle changes grounded in faith and intention.
I Believe in the Power of Faith
I didn’t walk this healing path alone. God was with me every step, guiding me to the right information, the right support, and the right mindset shift.
Healing from ITP is physical—but it’s also spiritual and emotional.
Fear and hopelessness are heavy burdens. But when we give those to God, we create space for peace, clarity, and healing to begin.

I Believe Words Matter
What we say over our bodies matters. For a long time, I repeated what I’d been told—“I’m sick. I have an incurable autoimmune disease.” But eventually, I started speaking life instead.
Now I say:
🟣 “I’m healed.”
🟣 “My body is resilient.”
🟣 “I serve a God who still heals.”
🟣 “I’m healed.”
🟣 “My body is resilient.”
🟣 “I serve a God who still heals.”
I Believe Remission Is Real
Not just for me. For you. For others.
I’m not a doctor, but I’m someone who’s lived this and walked into remission with God’s help and a natural healing plan that supported my body instead of suppressing it.

My story isn’t the exception—it’s a reminder that there is hope.
You Are Not Alone
If you’ve just been diagnosed, if you’re feeling discouraged, or if you’re searching late into the night for anything that offers real answers—know this:
✨ You are not alone.
✨ You are not broken.
✨ There is hope.
✨ And healing is possible.

Looking for Natural Ways to Increase Platelets with ITP?
If you’ve been diagnosed with ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia), a common question is: “What supplements can I take to increase my platelet count naturally?”
As someone who has personally experienced ITP remission and supported many others on this journey, I want to start with this foundational truth:
Supplements Should Not Be Your First Step.
It’s tempting to try a new pill or powder in hopes of a quick platelet boost. But long-term healing starts with lifestyle. Supplements are most effective when combined with:
- Nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods
- Reducing chronic inflammation
- Supporting gut and liver detox pathways
- Removing hidden toxins in your home
- Managing emotional and physical stress
These are the pillars that helped me achieve long lasting remission—and they can support you, too.
Best Supplements for ITP and Immune System Health
Here are some top supplements that may support people with ITP and low platelet counts. Always consult with your healthcare provider before adding anything new to your routine.
☀️ Vitamin D for ITP
- Benefits: Supports immune balance and platelet production.
- Check: Have your vitamin D levels tested. Aim for 50–80 ng/mL.
- Note: It’s fat-soluble, so don’t overdo it without supervision.
💪 Vitamin C to Strengthen Platelets
- Benefits: Boosts immunity and helps maintain healthy blood vessels.
- Sources: Citrus fruits, bell peppers, kiwi, or 500–1000 mg/day supplements.
- Watch out: Too much may cause digestive upset.
🧠 B12 & Folate (Methylated B Vitamins)
- Benefits: Crucial for DNA repair, red blood cell formation, and immune function.
- Tip: Look for methylcobalamin and methylfolate.
🧬 Zinc for Immune Function
- Benefits: Short-term support for the immune system and wound healing.
- Dosage: 15–30 mg/day.
- Caution: Prolonged use may lower copper levels.
🥬 Iron (Only If Deficient)
- Benefits: Helps with energy if you have low ferritin or anemia.
- Important: Supplement only with confirmed deficiency.
🧪 Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil)
- Benefits: Lowers inflammation and supports immune health.
- Caution: Can thin the blood at high doses—check with your doctor. Tip - try adding foods that contain Omega-3 if you are concerned about taking a separate supplement.
🌿 Chinese Herbal Remedies for ITP
- Why consider them: Under the guidance of a trained practitioner, they can support immune regulation & platelet health.
- Personal note: Chinese herbs were a vital part of my healing path to remission. I've included a link at the end if you'd like more information on this topic.
Supplements to Avoid with ITP or Use with Caution
Some herbs and natural remedies can interfere with platelet function or increase bleeding risk. Be cautious with the following:
🌿 Turmeric / Curcumin
- Why be cautious: Mixed evidence—some studies suggest it supports healthy platelets, others indicate it may impair platelet function. You may want to check out the research and decide for yourself.
🌿 Ginkgo Biloba
- Why be cautious: May increase bleeding risk.
🌿 White Willow Bark
- Why avoid it: Acts similarly to aspirin; generally not safe for those with ITP.
Final Thoughts: Lifestyle First, Supplements Second
If you're navigating ITP, remember: You don’t have to figure everything out overnight. You are not behind. You are right on time for your healing journey.
Supplements can help, but they aren’t the whole story. Your best chance at remission and lasting health comes from rebuilding the foundations—nutrition, detox, rest, emotional peace, and spiritual strength.
You’ve got this. Healing is possible.
