Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells do not divide or undergo mitosis.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a LDH Test (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Test or Take a Anti Nuclear Antibody / Factor (ANA / ANF), IFA (HEP-2) End Point Titre Test

I have major health issues and my body is not becoming healthy like a normal body as per age. I used to take juice and also ate chicken etc but I see no effect of these protein diets. My weight is not increasing, my skin is becoming dull and I am facing weight loss. I am not getting a solution to this problem. What should I do to come out of this issue? I had also done all the x rays and some 2 to 3 mm stones were found in my report on the left side of my stomach.
