Have you been eating enough fruits and vegetables? Do you eat mushrooms? Anything that is supposed to be good for the immune system usually helps the white blood count. Also good ole Echinecea might help a little.
I never took shots for my blood counts the whole time I had chemo, because I ate alot of those things and took supplements that help the blood counts.
I think if you have diseases of the blood or bone marrow your blood counts would be too high, but I am not sure about that, so check with your doctor.
