Sore throats
Hi Kdance - I frequently feel a sore throat coming on a few hours after I've been with groups of friends and receiving/giving lots of hugs (my white cells are my worst problem). What I do is take a 5000 mg capsule of Echinacea (a natural immune system booster) and 99% of the time it fixes the problem. Sometimes I need to take this dose 2-3 times within a 24-48 hour period before the soreness completely goes. It doesn't increase my white cell count unfortunately, but I haven't had a cold or flu for more than 12 months which is pretty amazing for me.
