fonz...those supps will increase it a signifigant amount? I'm not saying enough to fight off a cold, but enough that would make a very strong immune system

doxicylin (sp?)

Just pick and choose, check out those drugs and pick the ones with double blind studies behind them.

Yes. Beta-Glucan will increase your WBC's quite a bit. A good 2.0 points in a month or less, maybe even more(Some people respond well).

Normal range is 4.0 - 10.0 for WBC's.

Arabinolactan is more non-specific immune system booster...it pretty much increases all good T-cells, WBC's etc.. etc..

Beta-Glucan comes i caps so it's OK, but Arabinolactan is basically an extract from the larch tree and doesn't taste too palatable.

I'd try Beta-Glucan first if I were you...IMO it's better.
