Improving Platlet count

Hi Dr.;

I have a client who has Hep C for 10 years and severe psoriasis arthritus.  He really needs to get his teeth extracted and I have worked towards this goal, only to have his doctor write letters about his platlet count being low and a risk for bleeding resulting in the dentist refusing to proceed.

Now the doctor's office called after having a platlet count taken, and coming up low to improve his platlet count by not drinking.  My client doesn't drink regularly, but does have an occasional half a beer.

Are there any nutritional supplements or medications, or diet changes he could take to improve his platlet count?  There was a brief discussion about giving him some Vitamin K prior to having the extractions done, but now the doctor says no.

Thanks for any advice as his doctor is not too helpful in coming up with suggestions.  Sharon

Kale is excellent food source for Vit K.
