So I was reading the whole Vit C/ascorbate thing regarding opiate withdrawal and it got me thinking about how much it would suck to get a stomach bug or flu while in opiate withdrawal. Then I wondered to myself if W/D causes and increase in a person's white blood cell count, like when we are fighting an infection. This also aides in protecting the body against other illnesses so we are not overwhelmed with sickness. I found only one small thread (3-4 responses) regarding a similar issue (not on this site, and it was regarding a more long term effect on immune system) and a person mentioned being hospitalized while in W/D and their WBC count was through the roof.
So can anyone confirm or deny if our bodies have an increased WBC count while in opiate W/D?
Just to clarify, not that this is directly related to the vit c thing, it just made me think of it.
