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.Replied by Abby (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA) on 06/07/2009
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 :(.Replied by Darlene (Bridge City, Tx) on 07/10/2009
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? DarleneReplied by Dianna (Austin, Tx) on 07/17/2009
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

How effective is shark liver oil for increasing white blood cells?Replied by Palvan (Venice, Fl) on 10/19/2012
My husband had a WBC of 2.7 mcL and I was told 4.5 to 10.0 mcL is normal. Doing research on line I could not attribute his count to any of the disease states mentioned so I decided to see what natural supplements would improve his count. I saw a brochure on Aloe Vera when I went to purchase aloe vera in our local Natural Foods store. It said that they had a clinical study indicating an 11% to 16% improvement in WBC with their product. I called the company and found out that they used 6 oz per day in the study. I ordered the product from the Swanson's website where it was the cheapest, about $6 per 32 oz bottle. Almost 30 days to the day that we started the Aloe Vera Juice, my husbands WBC was taken and went from 2.7 to 3.4. He is on other quite ordinary supplements, Vit C, E, D and beta carotene and others for his heart. We are juicing with some organic vegetables which we just started 10 days ago, so there may be some synergism - but none of these supplements seem to work by themselves since he has been on supplements for some time. Hope others are helped by this.
