Can ITP Be Cured By Yoga?
Hi. I am an ITP patient since 2008. My platelets fall as low as 12,000-10,000 everytime I have fever and loose stools. They also imrpove on their own. I have been hospitalised four times, but doctors have started giving me steriods since November last year. Most of the tests, including bonew marrow aspiration and biopsy have been done and are normal. Can yoga help me cure the problem

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, it would not help with ITP.
2. ITP is an immune disorder and immune suppression by steroids is the only treatment available.
3. Yoga is good and would help in overall improvement both physically and mentally. Improve nutrition and exercises will be helpful. Continue medications for ITP as advised.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
