Maitake mushrooms will do the same for wbc and also has the beta glucan as well. Also, eat foods higher in zinc (whole grains and wheat germ) as that is helpful. But... don't take a zinc supplement as it is too much zinc and zinc can be harmful for the prostagladin cascade.


Gina has recommended in the past to put zinc oxide ointment (Desitin) on your feet at night with socks. Apparently the zinc is absorbed by the skin. I tried this when I was low and it really works - quite well in fact. My wbc was up and my lymphs (lymphocytes) were up.

Kind regards
