Stimulating and Boosting the Immune System by Increasing the Number of White Blood Cells (Leukocytes) to Prevent and Treat some Viral Infections

Abstract

Objective: The study was aimed to boost the immune system by increasing leukocytes number (in vivo) to avoid and treat some viral infections.
Methods: The samples were separated into three main groups. All the groups have vitamin C and D deficiency. The first group was devoted to a vitamin C test, and the second group includes the samples that were treated with vitamin D (in vivo) and also to the third group that consists of samples that were treated with both vitamins C and D. Also for each group, two tests (pre and post-treatment) have been performed. These tests were performed on a sample of thirty participants (which includes males and females), and their ages were 39±13.7 years. Blood elements were detected by using the auto-analyzer system. Here, the Enzyme-linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA) technique was used to measure the concentration of vitamin C and D.
Results: There was a variation in the number of white blood cells, the proportion of lymphocytes and the number of platelets for all volunteers that shared in this study. Significantly, the values were increased after treating with vitamin C, vitamin D and together C and D vitamins. The results showed the total number of leukocytes, lymphocyte, and thrombocytes were significantly increased (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The increase in the number of white blood cells, especially lymphocytes, has a major impact on increasing the natural mechanisms within the human body to fight viruses and other pathogens, which include nonspecific responses (Natural killer cell (NKC), cytokines (interferon)) and specific immune responses (humoral and cell-mediated) antigen-antibody complexes and T cells (cytotoxic and helper).
