Low White Blood Cell Count Remedies
"Leukopenia (also known as leukocytopenia, or leucopenia...) is a decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) found in the blood, which places individuals at increased risk of infection....
Causes:
Low white cell counts are associated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, leukemia (as malignant cells overwhelm the bone marrow), myelofibrosis and aplastic anemia (failure of white and red cell creation, along with poor platelet production). In addition, many common medications can cause leukopenia (eg. minocyclen, a commonly prescribed antibiotic).
Other causes of low white blood cell count include: Influenza, systemic lupus erythematosus, Hodgkin's lymphoma, some types of cancer, typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, dengue, Rickettsial infections, enlargement of the spleen, folate deficiencies, psittacosis and sepsis. Many other causes exist, such as a deficiency in certain minerals such as copper and zinc..."

COLD SHOWERS

[YEA] 06/07/2009: Gerald from Sydney, Australia: "I have taken a cold shower in the morning for over ten years, and can attest that I suffer less cold and flu symptoms than other workers in my office. In fact when the flu virus strikes Sydney each winter, I am normally the only one unaffected. When I am in the shower I also do some stretching. I hold onto the top of the shower screen and stretch my spine, to release stress. Which is great, because I have a stressful job. For years I have told others my theory about the benefits of cold showers, but am usually met with derision. So I am glad I found on this website a community of like-minded enthusiasts. I had my blood tested and my white cell count is three times higher than average. So I am sure that a wider scientific study would verify the health benefits of the cold shower. Gerald."

[QUESTION] 06/05/2009: Abby from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA: "Low White Blood Cells: I have systemic lupus in remission (no drugs) for last 17 years, except that I have a very low white blood cell count. I have read Ted's remedy using Borax but because I do not have any other symptoms besides the low WBC I'm not sure I need to do this remedy. I already eat right, take vitamins, exercise, and just started oil pulling which has helped with sinus and healthier teeth. Does anyone have any advice on what will help low WBC? I see a rheumatologist in two weeks and really do not want to be put on drugs again. Any advice will be much appreciated. I tried to email Ted but my email did not go through. Is he still available to write to?"
RepliesEC: Yes, Ted is still available. Perhaps his emailbox was full? We've forwarded him your post...
06/07/2009: Ann from Brooklyn, NY replies: "In response to Abby's question about low WBC....If you're not taking vitamin C, You may want to try taking it or increase the vitamin C dose to 1000mg/day for couple of days. Hope this works for you. Good luck."
06/07/2009: Abby from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA replies: "Thanks for your response. I have been taking Vit. C for many years -- in fact I was taking 6000 mg a day (per Dr. Whitaker's book) for several years. Now I'm taking 3000 mg a day and have switched to buffered Vit. C as it is supposed to be better absorbed. Vitamins and minerals have definitely helped my lupus symptoms but obviously not the WBC :(."
07/10/2009: Darlene from Bridge City, Tx replies: "Hi there, i just found out my white blood cell count is dropping. What can i take to boost my white blood cells? I haven't had any cancer treatments that could cause this. Going to the blood specialist on Monday. Can anyone help me? Does cold showers really help? Darlene"
07/17/2009: Dianna from Austin, Tx replies: "castor oil packs to the abdomen are supposed to help build white blood cells.get a piece of cotton flannel and some cold pressed castor oil (regular castor oil from the drugstore will work in an emergency) and soak the flannel cloth in castor oil.
put it on your entire abdomen (it is good to have several layers to hold the oil) and then put a plastic bag or some plastic over it and then use a heating pad or hot water bottle on top of the heating pad.
do this as often as you can - and you should get results.
if you need more info - just google castor oil packs. there is LOADS of info about this on the internet. this site even has info on it.
good luck"
