low white blood cell count

[Guest guest]

OK, I have found out a little more detail about my cousin's blood count. He

is not low in any particular type of white blood cell; it is just an overall

low. He was at 2.8, has now gone up to 3.3, average range is about 4.5 to

10. His uric acid and something that begins with R are both fine, and if

they were elevated in may indicate cancer, so that is a good sign.

Meanwhile, his IgG doesn't show anything viral, so they are thinking

autoimmune, perhaps lupus, and also TB. His only symptoms are lethargy and

swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

 

So now I ask, any thoughts? My feelings are that he would want to

supplement differently if autoimmune as compared to viral, i.e. no echinacea

for instance.

 

So I guess I'm looking for ideas about how to boost overall white blood cell

count.

 

Essiac tea comes to mind as a good possibility, as does pau d' arco. Any

suggestions or resources will be most appreciated. And Andy, I have the

Murray book you were speaking of, as well as Prescription for Nutritional

Healing and a few others, so I'll be checking. It just helps to hear

personal experiences as well.

 

Thanks,

Debbie

Prescription for nutritional healing is more accurately referred to as

prescription for nutritional killing. Stick to Murray and others who

actually know something about the agents and have prescribed them to

real human beings and observed the effects.

 

Have they done standard tests and ruled out things like mononucleosis

and hepatitis? WHat you are saying really doesn't make sense - more

understanding (possibly gained by fishing in his veins with a needle

to do more tests) is needed.

 

It is certainly unusual for his WBC to be low but no particular kind

to be low.

 

I suggest a lot of vitamin A to start. How old is he? That affects

what else he may want to use.
