What can help a low white blood cell count? my hair is breaking off about 2 inches from the scalp and i think it is due to my prior insufficient diet

Need to see doctor: How low is your white blood count? Treatment depends on the cause- this can be due to chronic infections, nutrient deficiencies, bone marrow problems or toxins. This should be evaluated by a doctor. Make sure you are eating a healthy diet & supplement with a quality multivitamin; biotin and essential fatty acids may help hair. Herbs like astragalus & ashwagandha may help raise your white count.
