I have been seeing a naturopath for many, many years. Astragalus and various kinds of mushrooms like shitake, reiishi and maitake help the white blood counts (immune system). I use both fresh or dried mushrooms in my cooking and mushrooms in supplement form.
I never took neulasta shots, because supplements, mushrooms and alot of fresh veggies and fruits kept my blood counts healthy. Echinecea (spelling ????) also helped. Pole root is an old fashioned remedy to be used externally to help keep lymph moving, but should not be taken internally, because it can be poisonous.
