That seems like very good news, indeed. Congratulations and best wishes!Bkworm wrote:I am so grateful that everything was ok and credit the WFPB way of eating for 11 years. I don't even have to have a follow-up visit with the hematologist.
But in any case, doctors also have to be aware that when people eat a diet as healthy as I recommend, that’s high in micronutrients, it drops down the white blood cell count. And a lower white blood cell count is associated with longer life. We’re talking about here the normal range is about 5 -10 and that a person eating a nutritarian diet or a high-nutrient diet which I call a nutritarian diet can drop the white blood cell count to 2.5 and a conventional physician, not knowing this, may then refer you to an oncologist thinking you need a bone marrow biopsy and workup. Really it just shows that you’re in better health, the white blood count is so low. I’m saying that doctors should be taught, that people who eat very very healthily with lots of green vegetables, berries and beans, then their white blood count is supposed to be low. It’s a good sign, not a bad sign.
Was surprised that they completed the blood work at their office.
The hematologist said she believes that the differences in the blood work was due to the RA and I might have been in the middle of a flare of the arthritis when the blood was drawn in February.
The doctor had never heard of the WFPB lifestyle which did not come as a surprise.
I am so grateful that everything was ok and credit the WFPB way of eating for 11 years. I don't even have to have a follow-up visit with the hematologist.
