Low White Blood Cells: Common With Chemotherapy/Radiation
Here are some common things that patients with low white blood cells say:
* “I feel so tired and so low in spirits. Nothing perks me up.”
* “I was actually relieved when I found out why I was so tired all the time.”
*”Once my low white blood cells were addressed, I was on my way to good health.”
* “Chemo and radiation caused my low white blood cells. It’s why I felt so horrible. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t get enough sleep and don’t feel like myself. Even going to the mailbox makes me very tired.”
The white blood cells in the body are important for the body’s defense system. One type of white blood cell, called the macrophage, engulfs bacteria in a process called phagocytosis and when this occurs, inactivate the bacteria. When millions of bacteria are engulfed, those bacteria are taken out of the body so they can do no harm.
The macrophages are not the only white blood cells that can be associated with low white blood cells. There are natural killer cells, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and numerous other cells that each have their own function. The important part to know here is that when immune boosting cells are not as active as they should be, the body can become overwhelmed with infection.
That’s why it’s easy for those on chemotherapy or radiation to be so susceptible to infections. These cancer treatments are known for their ability to weaken the body, while at the same time they are killing cancer cells. However, if life was ideal, the best thing a cancer patient could hope for would be destruction of the cancer cells without having low white blood cells. This way the immune system could stay revved up to prevent infections and people wouldn’t feel so low, fatigued, and wiped out emotionally and physically.
The Chinese have found that they can restore the low white blood cells while a person is still on chemo and radiation through the use of herbs. In our American system of medicine, doctors don’t understand that it’s possible to use natural medicine along with chemotherapy and radiation so that the white blood cell count won’t be so low that they are a threat to a person’s life. The Chinese have figured it out and use combinations of herbs that they have tested over decades which can boost the immune system functions. By doing this, the person’s energy levels start rising slowly and within a short period of time the Chinese doctors hear things like:
* “I know so many other people who have had the same treatment (without the natural method) but had such bad side effects. Not me!”
* “I have hope now – and think I can finish some of the projects I started before this whole ordeal started.”
The Chinese solutions are available to those with low white blood cells. Chinese herbalists are available to those that are undergoing chemo and radiation. They’re available to those who feel worn out too. No promises can ever be made about any natural medicine of course but just try using a little Chinese natural medicine and see what happens for yourself.
