Get your good fat n protein, start using coconut milk and water.

Your vitamins and minerals

I go to sprouts and get my herbals to do tea. I’m not a big coffee eater but I do mushroom coffee no shiitake but Laird is a great brand.

Get you a good reasonable juicer Do beet, carrot and apples to make a good juice. Skip But look up foods with Lectins; like legumes, tomatoes unless skinless & seedless, string beans and look up foods with Butylene ( act as good flora, and will keep your intestines clean and healthy) in it to heal your gut . I have CLL and my WTC were over 400,000 and now at 13.24 within a year but balance is the key.

Hello JoAnn, I have AML too. I don't particularly know the answer to this question but all my blood levels were low with treatments especially the chemotherapy.
I think this are side effects of some of the treatment medications. That's why there is a resisting period of 4 weeks between treatments before proceeding to let levels go back to normal. I don't think there is a booster for WBC but they just go back to normal on their own.

You can use an injection to boost neutrophils. Worked miracles for me. Talk to your doctor. It’s not without risk and can cause nasty bone pain, but you can reduce that by taking Claritin of all things! Good luck.

I know that it is very hard looking at all the labs, and wondering what they all mean. I also have AML 5/20 stem cell transplant 9/20 from my sister.
I did receive some shots to help raise the counts on the WBC’ s and blood infusions. The only issue with getting more blood products is you may get an overload of iron in your system and then they have to watch your liver and kidneys.
Everything is going good now with all the treatments and just giving everything to God and trust the process. My prayers are with you.
