White blood cells are normally low. Too many will cause problems (leukemia). Their job is to protect the body from pathogens. Eat tainted chicken or salad and your white blood count will go up. Now if your count is abnormally low you may have what is called leukopenia. Cause of this condition include: Infections, such as viral infections and HIV; Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus;
Certain medications, especially those used in chemotherapy and some antibiotics; Radiation therapy;
Bone marrow disease, such as leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes.
White blood cells help fight infection in your body. A normal white blood cell count ranges from 4,500 to 10,000 cells per microliter of blood. A mild decrease in white blood cells below 4,500 cells per microliter doesn't necessarily indicate a serious illness. However, a dangerously low white blood cell count — below 2,500 cells per microliter — increases the risk of serious infection.

Your physique only will improve the WBC count variety once you have an infection. while the immune device is activated by potential of an 'antigen' like bacteria, WBC are made to wrestle the distant places microbe and then to assemble strategies regarding the form of that computer virus so the physique could make an antibody specific to that enemy if it would not already have one 'on report.' by potential of retaining the antibody 'on report' like a memory of it, this facilitates very rapid detection of that bacteria might desire to it invade the physique back. So your WBC shouldn't might desire to be greater till an infection is modern and your physique will try this by potential of itself. There are categories of WBC. the main appropriate gamers are T-cells and B-cells. T-cells carry the memories of previous invaders and while they 'understand' an enemy, be able to turn on the B-cells which will proliferate or produce many WBC for scuffling with off the invader. drugs can alter your immune device's ability to purpose distant places invaders. Like Steroids, they mask bacteria and different triggers to steer away from the immune device from responding. The immune device is rather efficient and surprisingly regulated interior the physique. wish that facilitates a splash.

I am sure someone however will answer "organic parsnip tops followed by unpasteurized goat cheese" because a clerk in a health food store told them that.
