Is There Ayurvedic Medicine To Increase Platelet Level In Cancer Patient?

I have cancer. Had been taking Xeloda and Coumidin together for about 5-6 weeks. Discontinued 3 weeks ago due to low WBC. Platelets last week were 1,000. Is there an ayurvedic medicine that can increase platelet level? Have had 2 platelet transfusions in 2 weeks. Level reaches 60,000 then 1 week later, seems to plummet.

1. prior to start any Alternate system of Medicine, keep in mind the following things [since platelet count is low]

. Avoid Pain killers, constipation [straining] and use soft tooth brush and electric razor to avoid bleeding [give codeine/paracetamol], alcohol
. regular watch over blood profile, mainly: INR, Bleeding Time

2. use of Pneumoccocal, H.Influenzae and meningococcal vaccination [as prophylaxis]

3. some of the prescribed Ayurveda Drugs known to Increase platelet count is/are: raw papaya leaves juice, wheat grass juice, aloe vera juice, Guduchi, Ashwagandha, shatavari, madukparni, vacha, amlaki.
