Hiya
Anyone know of anything i can try to boost charlies immune system/white blood cell count?
Some of you may remember charlie.... my staffie with Lymphoma. He's hitting a downward slope now and after a blood test the other day they said his white blood cells are to low to increase the chemotheraphy.

Any advice would be welcome :)

Echinacea angustifolio tincture is used in holistic treatments to boost the immune system, it's originally a plant used by native americans & has been used in the treatment of cancers, can be obtained online but must be Echinacea angustifolio tincture

Lots of info on the net about it

Thank you moonmaiden :)

Hello i have just read this thread and ordered some do you think it would be any good for my pup as he has according to the vet demodex this is without a scrape though she said his immune system could be low due to teething?

It certainly will not harm him & will boost his immune system

This will help you with the dosage

So why this warning:

"Do not use echinacea continuously for more than a few weeks"?

on this page: http://www.kochumianmd.com/herbs_vitamins/herbal_herbs_e_k.htm

and this: If used beyond 8 weeks, Echinacea could cause Hepatotoxicity (chemical-driven liver damage)?

Then there are other sites that say "there are no known side-effects with its use"...who's right?...who'd risk it?...they also say it's an immune system stimulant - that isn't the same as a booster, is it?
