Has chemotherapy destroyed your White Blood Cell Count?
We know how important it is to build it back up. Your body uses White Blood Cells to fight off viruses and bacteria. Researchers have found that lithium can increase white cell numbers again in people whose levels fell due to radiation or chemotherapy. Lithium achieves this by stimulating the stem cells in bone marrow, which then turn into platelets and White Blood Cells.
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, These include broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, pumpkin and carrots.
Get plenty of rest, vitamin C, zinc, and beta-carotene may be helpful. Pump the heart with moderate exercise of 30 minutes a day can also increase White Blood Cell Counts.
Drink green tea. Green tea helps stimulate the production of white blood cells. Decaffeinated green tea is better for your body, and 1 or 2 cups a day should do the trick.
If your White Blood Cell Counts are low, avoid people who are sick, wash your hands often, use good hygiene, and call your doctor if you experience any signs of infection.
A genuinely happy and up-beat attitude will almost definitely improve your immune system since stress is a immune system destroyer.
Low dose lithium 5-10 milligrams twice daily will also usually raise a Low count to normal even if radiation and chemotherapy are not the cause.
