I get frequent colds, thoat infections and flu etc, and have just had blood tests which show my white blood cell count is low. My doctor has referred me to a specialist. Is there anything I can do to increase my white blood cells?

The concern should not be how to increase your white blood cells, but what is decreasing them in the first place. The specialist will probably do another white blood cell count (if not already done) to compare it to you other. May also need to do a bone marrow biopsy to see why you are not making the white blood cells. May also recommend doing a HIV test which can decrease your white blood cells, especially if you have risk factors (multiple partners, drug use, blood transfusions before the early 90's, etc).

Yeah, you can take black seed it will boost your immune system.
It is known that the immunity system has a direct and indirect effect on all bodily systems. Any disturbance in the system affects all the systems of the body as in AIDS. Also the soundness of this system and its enhancement would have a direct or indirect effect on all the systems of the body. When a human being is infected by any disease, the power of the immunity system affects the cure of this disease whether directly or indirectly. We proved through this research that the black seed enhances both the immunity system of the body and improves its functions.

The specialist will tell you.
However, being very under-weight can reduce your white blood cell count and ability to fight disease.
