Wink Low white blood cell count?

The name of the shot is Neulasta. However, you can also help yourself by eating more foods that benefit the immune system. The white blood cells are part of the immune system. Vegetables, fruits, various kinds of mushrooms all benefit the immune system and white blood count. Th supplement Echinecea also benefits the immune system and the white blood count, but with that supplement you should take short breaks once in awhile. You can get information on foods that benefit the immune system by doing an internet search on the subject. You may also be able to find books about it at your local library or bookstore.
Good luck. Stay strong.
