Patient: Hi, I just went to my doctor and ordered a blood test, the results according to my Dr. tells me that I have low blood cells count, I do not have cancer (not that I know), not HIV or any other infection or illness at this time; also have a low HDL (good) cholesterol (26) How do I naturally treat these issues - vitamins, diet, herbs, supplements, etc.)  Please advise!  My email:   YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hi! Welcome to HCM! Your doctor has told you that you have low blood counts. Low blood counts can have many causes, including vitamin deficiencies, bleeding, and rare bone marrow  diseases .  If your blood tests are showing low blood cell counts then it is essential to see which of your blood cells are Low whether it is low red blood cell count, Low white blood cell count, Low platelet count or lowering of all 3 cell lines that is pancytopenia. Each of these cell type have a different function in body and their lowering and amount of lowering both are very important to find out the cause. As for low HDL Strategies for raising HDL-C levels can include various lifestyle and drug therapies, which should be tailored to individual patients. Among lifestyle interventions for raising HDL-C levels, aerobic exercise is probably the most important.. Moderate daily alcohol consumption raises HDL-C levels by 5% to 10%.  can take vitamin supplements especially having Niacin. hope this will help you!
