Wink Re: Low white counts, what can be done nutrionally?

I don't know what Tanya thinks, but fruits, vegetables and mushrooms (especially the Asian ones like shitake etc.) are good for the immune system and the white blood counts.
I never took shots during treatment. I never had to skip treatments because of low white blood counts. I never needed a transfusion during treatments.
I ate alot of fruit, vegetables and mushrooms. I also took supplements with the Asian mushrooms, Astragalus and Echincea. I took liquid iron for the red blood counts. I never needed shots, transfusions, or had to skip my treatment for low red blood counts either. I worked with a naturopathic physician the whole time. I still see him every 6 weeks.
