Yes, it is bad to have a low wbc count. The reason is is because wbc's fight against infections and other things and if you have a low wbc count it will take longer to fight against infections. And by the way there are five different types of white blood cells. Neutrophils, which fight infections. Monocytes, which also fight against microorganisms. Basophils, which are involved in allergic reactions. Lymphocytes, which deals with the immune response. And Eosinophils, which help fight against things such as parasitic infections. So you can see how having a low wbc count can be bad. And having too many wbc's can also be bad. Some things that can cause leukemia are prolonged exposure to radiation, inherited, certain viruses, and certain chemotherapy drugs. Just for some extra info, there are some many different types of leukemias that are categorized under acute and chronic leukemias. Also, someone who has leukemia can have lower than normal wbc's counts, normal wbc's counts, or extremely high wbc's counts, so it really depends on which leukemia someone has. If I was to list all of them and what each of them were it would take me forever and I don't think you would want to read that much. Leukemias can deal with not only wbc's but also rbc's and platelets(which stops bleeding, by forming clots). By the way I am a Medical Laboratory Technician student and I put some of the stuff I could remember, I hope it was helpful. Here, is a link if you want to read some more about leukemias. Good Luck.

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals, food additives or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that the AMA is keeping from the American public, that are being used in Europe and around the world. Here is some information that is getting hard to find--"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825; "A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052; "Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077; "The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410; and "Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966.

Type 'used books' into your browser and find a good site, then type in the ISBN numbers and get some great help cheap.

I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) after they went on a program of herbs and nutrition.

The American Medical Association and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law in this country, and they are in it for the money, and don't care about individuals. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy.
This is not a joke. Look into it. Best of luck

Answer 4

Leukemia is horribly complex.
Hematological cancers are my personal favorite to study, but are not at all easy to define.

Don't worry too much about what causes it; just leave it at "too many white blood cells and mutations." To understand cancer/carcinogenes, you need to know a ton of other terminology.

is it cureable?
No.
No cancer is curable.Perhaps melanoma is, but that is because it might not metastisize to other organs/lymph nodes.
To treat leukemia, you need a bone marrow transplant and conclusive biopsy, for starters.

If you have cancer, you want your WBC count up.
