dear sir, chemotherapy causes bone marrow suppression due to which blood counts fall down. there is no specific food supplement which increases tlc counts, one has to avoid infections, raw food and should consume fresh food. cooked food may contain vegetable soups, whole grain in form of porridge, coconut water, milk and butter milk and food supplements with high proteins.turmeric, tulsi leaves etc also enhance immunity.

Only graffel injection increases the counts during chemotherapy and I will suggest you to eat nutritious home made food with adequate fluid intake and take physical rest.

Hye. Thank you for your query. Your diet has to be a well balanced diet with whole grains, protein foods, fruits and vegetables. Try to include milk, curd, buttermilk, citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables like spinach, sprouts, and nuts. Try to add amla juice, home made gingerale, green tea, beetroot and carrot juice, drumstick soup and wheat grass juice as well. Remember a nutritious diet is crucial but since your needs are very high you will have to take a vitamin mineral complex and an antioxidant supplement as well.
