Sounds like a wise decision, Quester.

Just a couple of hints on the wellness aspect. If you're low on white cells, keep off foods containing cane sugar, maple syrup, malts, etc and especially sugar/dairy combinations. I personally keep off dairy too. Honey is OK, especially medi-honey. Stevia is also good. As soon as you feel a sore throat starting, knock it with big doses of Echinacea, Astragalus or other immune boosters.

Have you had your Vitamin D, B12, etc tested? For example if your D is low, it may be affecting your platelet levels.
