Lets compare CBCs

Dude - No need to apologize. Your taking the time to try and help is very appreciated. And we can't remember everyone's different issues. It's better to mention what may help and not be able to than not mention it at all. Glad it worked for you with EBV. Hoping Monolaurin can put a dent in it.

So I spent some time in the Helminth Therapy group on facebook.

Helminths WILL significantly raise your eosinophils shortly after infection/introduction. It will come back down to normal though after about 3m. Here is a graph of the data they provided.

In addition, it sounds like the WBC will initially rise, but then comes back down. In the helminth therapy wiki they provide it says that helminth therapy can lower neutrophils/wbc in the long run, but anecdotally I spoke w/ a few people who had been using them for a long time and said that HT was able to increase their WBC in the long run. One guy for example had a baseline 4.0, and it rose to a 5.5 a year or so after doing HT.

I guess its can vary, and depends on the helminth and person, but it does not sound like if one has a chronically suppressed WBC that you should suspect worms.


In addition, initially I read some stories about people who had trouble and ended up worse off w/ GI problems. The more time I spent though I did find some stories of people who did really well. Sounds similar to FMT, wherein it could go really really well, but there's the risk it goes really poorly as well. Maybe one of those things to consider as a last resort.

I spoke w/ a guy in the group w/ MS who believes that MS is caused by a particular type of bacteria called Clostridum perfringens. He was able to stop his MS progression w/ ABX, but ended up w/ a significantly imparied GI tract as a result. He's doing HT and claims it really helps, both the MS and the GI issues. But he also spoke very highly of Mutaflor and Miyarisan. Basically said that if he comes off those two probiotics, hes non-functional. Made me want to give Mutaflor another shot.

Is there anyone out there w/ a WBC below 4.0 like me?

Looking through old posts on a FB lyme group and a lot of people seem to link it to their mold/yeast/Candida/biotoxin illness

Kind of interesting as mine only rose when I went into ketosis (and presumably had lower levels of Candida)

I wish I could help dcd2103, but the lowest my WBC has been is 7.0.
My RBC was too high once though.

Mine are often 3.7, 3.8, 4.0. Rarely much above 4 often 3.7, 3.8. Depending on the lab normal low ranges go down to 3.4ish (labcorp). It does vary by lab I don't know why but I have used 4 different labs and there seems to be consistent at the lab but not between different labs. My doctor once said he usually rounds up or down that the tenth place was not accurate. Same doctor who ignores my consistently low red blood cell count and just tells me its how I am. So I consider the credibility questionable.
