My labs today showed elevated platelets, high normal being 1400, my reading was 1424. Not extremely out of range..

Anyone else? This is an indication of 'thick blood'?

I guess I had better start taking the lumbrokinase?

Anyone else have high readings?

Much better indicators of thick blood are Fibrin, PTT, and a few other markers. That's so little above normal, I don't think docs will bat an eye Feelfit.

Lumbrokinase wouldn't be a bad idea.

I think it can also indicate inflammation. Gee, where would THAT be coming from?

Merry Christmas, feelfit!!

I lower my platelet count by taking EGCG pills 3x/day with meals.

Green tea interferes with platelet formation.

I can reliably lower my platelet count by taking more EGCG pills, or raise it by taking fewer.

Fish Oil is an anti-platelet.
