Default digestive leukocytosis and protein/powders consumption

Bodybuilders typically take protein/powders throughout the day. Does
that mean they are going to have continually elevated white blood cell
count? Is this a good thing? And what does this say about eating/
taking proteins? Why does this occur?
(been reading up on the raw vs cooked arguments).

Anybody know if the various Supplement manufactures measured wbc after
ingestion?

I get a CBC blood test every few months and my WBC is never elevated,
despite the fact that I go through a big can of protein powder every month.
Not sure what others have experienced.

I'm x-posting this to other NGs in the hope that someone knows the

I don't know too much about this medical stuff, so could either of you
answer a couple questions?

Why do you get a CBC done every few months?

What is the physiological mechanism for an increased WBC from protein powder
supplementation?

Thanks.

David

because I get T injections and I was told that I need to monitor hemoglobin
and hematocrit. Also had some other problems before the T injections that
required a CBC. Shit, I get a lot of blood tests.. like, 2 each month on
average. its a wonder that I have any blood left.

You know David.. you're just not telling us!? High WBC count is from tissue
damage, physical stress, infection, etc. Do high protein diets cause
inflammation?? I read that a high protein diet could cause gout. But..
maybe the exercising causes more inflamation anyway. I have no idea. David..
tell us why please.

The only way I could see it happening is if the person had some sort of
allergic reaction to it.

I mean, if you eat animal flesh every day, are you going to get an
elevated white count?

Makes no sense to me. <shrugs>

I'd like to see the "why" explained too.

Hmmm...maybe Pete could chime in here. Seems a bit excessive for monitoring
the possible side effects of testosterone injections.

Haven't a clue. Elevated WBC is, at best, a variable, non-specific, marker
of inflammation, and I've never encountered the notion that protein powder
supplementation was a risk factor for inflammation.

I learn something new every day.

Now if somebody would 'splain it to me!

Heres a link to a study done in 1930 "The Influence of Food Cooking on
the Blood Formual of Man" by Paul Kouchakoff (Suisse) M.D.

http://www.seleneriverpress.com/medi...EOFCOOKING.pdf

Pretty interesting in that it talks about how various cooked foods
effect white blood cell count.

A 77 year old "study" by raw food advocates is your explanation for the OP's
question?

Wow.

I mean that.

Wow.

I do admire the effort, though.

They tested me every 3 months in the beginning, later twice a year.

Now its only once a year. According to the doctors i see, it doesnt make any
sense to test more often. And they dont even measure T-levels or estradiol
anymore. Unless i point out a specific problem.

I am going tommorow. I can walk in without an appointment. lets see;

Hemoglobin
Hematocrite

y-GT
ASAT
ALAT

Cholesterol
HDL
Triglycerides

PSA

SHBG

Thats it.

>> You know David.. you're just not telling us!? High WBC count is from

They once tested me to see if i had a neuromuscular disease.
The day before i was pounding away in the gym. One certain enzyme was
elevated to such a high level that it wasnt normal anymore.

But it was the result of the stress.

They probably stopped testing your T because the test does not go that
high you juice monkey.

Absolutely not. No, indeed.

Good thing medical and nutrition sciences haven't advanced much in the last
seven decades. Otherwise, a study from 1930 advocates of "raw" food might be
thought to be humorous.

I once had a whopping 93 Nmol or something after a few weeks of Pregnyl.
And massive ejaculations. Unbelievable.

And that LHRH test. A synthetic analog of LHRH (GnRH) enters the
bloodstream.
I believe there are nasal sprays with gonadereline, but nobody uses it. At
least, not that i am aware of.
