is not necessarily so, if you eat food containing toxins, the red cells will reduce the target

Healthy foods and nutritional supplements can contribute to the general health of the blood system. But when leukemia-style chemotherapy is being used nutritional therapy is just a drop in the bucket. Leukemia patients often need red cell and/or platelet transfusions to keep their cell counts up. Procrit and Neupogen may help.

She should not take iron supplements unless ordered by her doctor. Blood transfusions are like an IV bolus of iron and iron overload can damage the liver. So there is no point in adding to that potential problem.
