White blood cells and frequency therapy

Definition:

White blood cells, also known as leucocytes, are an essential component of the immune system. They play a decisive role in the defence against infections and the fight against pathogens such as , viruses, fungi and parasites.

types of white blood cells:

There are several main types of leukocytes, each fulfilling specific functions in the immune system:

Neutrophils: the most common white blood cells, which respond quickly to infections and fight pathogens through phagocytosis (ingestion and destruction).
Lymphocytes: These include T-cells, B-cells and natural killer cells, which are responsible for the specific immune response. T cells destroy infected cells, B cells produce antibodies and natural killer cells fight tumour cells and virus-infected cells.
Monocytes: Develop into macrophages and dendritic cells that phagocytise pathogens and activate the immune system.
Eosinophils: Fight parasitic infections and are involved in allergic reactions.
Basophils: Release histamine and play a role in allergic reactions and inflammation.

Function:

White blood cells are crucial for immune defence. They recognise and neutralise pathogens, remove dead cells and cell debris and support the healing of tissues.

Normal values:

The normal number of white blood cells in the blood is around 4,000 to 11,000 cells per microlitre. Deviations from this range may indicate health problems.

Diseases associated with white blood cells:

Leukocytosis: Increased white blood cell count, often in response to infection, inflammation or stress.
Leukopenia: Decreased white blood cell count, which increases the risk of infection and can be caused by conditions such as bone marrow disorders or autoimmune diseases.
Leukaemia: A group of cancers that affect the bone marrow and blood and lead to an uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal white blood cells.

Diagnosis:

A complete blood count (CBC) is used to determine the number and distribution of different types of white blood cells and to diagnose possible diseases.

Things to know:

White blood cells make up only about 1% of the total blood volume, but are critical to maintaining health.
They can move through tissue to reach centres of infection and communicate with each other to ensure a coordinated immune response.

research:

Research on white blood cells is focussed on understanding their role in the immune system, developing new therapies for immune disorders and improving the treatment of blood cancers.
