    I now someone with chronically low WBC count. What approach should they take to increase it? Do they boost Th1?

    Any help is appreciated!

    In a patient with low wbc count, your approach of supporting Th1 response and downregulating Th2 is appropriate. Th1 support is generally done with berberine, baicalin, sulforaphane, ginger, echinacea (if there is no autoimmunity), etc. There are combination products designed to do this such as Pure encpasualtions Th1 support. Downregulation of Th2 excess is generally done with perilla, astragalus, NAC and quercetin. There are likewise combinations designed to include these such as Th2 modulator.

    If an inflamed person is already taking things to downregulate NFkB, such as curcumin, resveratrol, D, fish oil, etc., but they are Th2 dominant, lowering the doses of these may be appropriate, but you need to watch to be sure the patient’s inflammation isn’t getting worse. If the TGFbeta blood level is too high, it may indeed be necessary to reduce the dose of these. Again, though this depends on the case.
