No offense, but you got a dumb answer to a really-not-smart question. Your body uses WBC to fight infections. High WBC count is almost always the consequence of a problem in the body, not a cause (although this
could be), so you really should not aim to reduce it with the help of a supplement. Actually ppl take supps such as astragalus to increase WBC (because of low blood cell count caused by chemo for example), never the opposite as it would weaken your immune system against infections.
If you have high white blood cell count, you must figure out what is causing this first
From steadyhealth.com High white blood cell count could indicate• Infection
• Inflammation
• Trauma
• Tissue damage (from burns)
• Use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs
• Allergy
• Chronic bone marrow diseases such as a myeloproliferative disorder
• Acute or chronic leukemia
• Diverticular Disease
• Intense exercise
• Severe physical or emotional stress
High white blood cell count are considered normal in certain situations• Pregnancy in the final month and labor may be associated with increased WBC levels.
• Spleen removal could grant persistent mild to moderate increased WBC count.
• Normal newborns and infants have higher WBC counts than adults.
• Too much smoking could also cause an increased WBC count.
The WBC count tends to be lower in the morning and higher in the late afternoon and they are age-related.
When the white blood cell counts continue to rise or fall to abnormal levels it means that the condition is getting worse.
Scientists are still not certain if, besides being a good indicator or a problem, high white blood cell count could also trigger a serious disease or if it naturally rises after an illness.From mayo clinicA high white blood cell count usually indicates:
- An increased production of white blood cells to fight an infection
- A reaction to a drug that increases white blood cell production
- A disease of bone marrow, causing abnormally high production of white blood cells
- An immune system disorder that increases white blood cell production
Specific causes of high white blood cell count include:
Conclusion : you need to go visit a doctor that cares, and talk about that chronic fatigue problem correlated with your low WBC count. It could all be caused by a low grade, chronic, somewhat "hidden" infection, or an autoimmune disorder (which can also go hand in hand with the former)
