[Everything doTERRA] ITP suggestions or recommendations?

Good Morning, I am helping a friend who has a fairly severe case of ITP. She is taking the LLV and having good results, which means higher platelet counts. However, I was reading this description (below) and wondered if zendocrine would be a good choice.  I also value the collective wisdom of this group. What would you recommend?

The cause of ITP is unknown, but the disease involves two processes: the destruction of existing platelets and inadequate production of platelets to make up for those being destroyed.1-3

Platelets: Function and life cycle

Platelets are small, disc-shaped cell-like particles that are made in the bone marrow by cells called megakaryocytes and circulate through the bloodstream. Platelets help stop bleeding by forming clots when blood vessels are damaged.4

Typically, a platelet is removed from the bloodstream after 9 or 10 days. But in an adult patient with ITP, antibodies attack platelets, so they are removed and destroyed much sooner—even as soon as a few hours after they enter the bloodstream. Antibodies may also attack the megakaryocytes, which may prevent these cells from making as many platelets as they typically would have.5

The importance of thrombopoietin

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a protein produced in the liver that controls how many platelets are made by megakaryocytes. When platelet counts are normal, just enough TPO reaches the bone marrow to keep platelet counts level. If there are too few platelets in the bloodstream, more TPO is able to get to the bone marrow, so more platelets are produced.

In people with ITP, however, there usually isn't enough TPO reaching the bone marrow. This means that there are not enough platelets being produced to make up for the ones that have been destroyed.6
