are there any natural ways to increase your red blood cells?

I don't really think there is a way to "naturally" increase your red blood cell production other than iron supplements, but I do know the previous answer is not correct.  Going to a region of higher altitude and returning to lower altitude, will not, in itself, increase heme production.  Going to a higher elevation will, however, increase an enzyme called 2,3,DPG.  This enzyme forces oxygen off of the hemoglobin receptor sites to the tissues.  For any given amount of oxygen saturation, more oxygen is released to the tissues.  This is demonstrated on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.  Sorry I don't have an answer to the question.  There are several ways to increase heme production in the medical field, depending on the cause of the anemia.  Do you have anemia or know someone with anemia?  If you or someone else does, it should be treated and monitored by a physician or another healthcare provider.

Well hate to disappoint but the best thing to boost your immune system is exercise. It strengthens your whole body including your immune system. give it a try.\n My sources are being fat and then exercising and not being sick nearly as often. actually none at all so far knock on wood.\nalso get outside in the Sunlight. At least 15 mins on your hands and face. Helps your body to produce vitamin D essential for a strong immune system.

Try drinking at least 2 8-ounce cups daily of green tea. Brew your own and allow to steep for 5-7 minutes. I drink a lot of green tea....6 cups daily with lemon. This wonderful tea gives the drinker lots of energy, provides phytonutrients and helps build the immune system. My blood pressure has stabilized....from 150/85 to 116/65 and my cholesterol levels are now normal. Walking 2 miles a day will help, too. You should get the same results by doing this as with the Phen Fen.

if you're not making red blood cells, there may be a problem with your bone marrow - bone marrow is where you synthesize new red blood cell. Don't worry. Talk to your doctor about it & ask them about a drug called Erythropoietin Alpha. It's a synthetic form of a hormone that your body produces to stimulate the production of ned RBCs. \n\nGood luck. Also, eat plenty of red meat!

You can get iron that way, but that's not going to raise your iron levels enough to make you un-anemic.  Geez, just suck it up and eat some meat, or spinach, or liver . . .\nAnything's gotta taste better than rust.

Because blood transfusions are extremely invasive and there are many non surgical things a person can do to help with this problem. Like eating foods high in iron. Liver, green leafy foods, etc. can help. Your doctor could prescribe you iron pills that are more potent than the over the counter iron pills. What helped me and a friend of mine with anemia is drinking more grape juice and drinking ginseng. It made a huge difference in our health.

Cinnamon is a great booster. A teaspoon in your morning coffee works wonders. \n\nGreen tea has other benefits than as a booster - keep drinking it. BUT, as with all herbal regimens, take time off from it every couple of weeks UNLESS ordered otherwise by a Dr.

IRON RICH FOODS DAILY CAN EASILY FORTIFY YOUR BLOOD WHICH CAN BECOME WEAK FROM A LACK OF FOODS RICH IN IRON. WE NEED HIGH IRON FOODS.\n\nHemoglobin is the chemical substance in red Blood cells that captures and holds oxygen by circulating throughout the lining of our lungs, and then carries this oxygen throughout our entire bodies to every tissue. This fresh oxygen is then used to burn our internal fuel for energy, which is needed for proper cell growth and development and to provide fuel other important metabolic processes. [for Blood facts and fun, see the St. Joseph™ "Pump, Pump, Pumps Your Blood" song, CLICK HERE] Iron is also needed to produce myoglobin, the oxygen reservoir in the muscle cells and cytochromes, a class of iron-containing proteins important in cell respiration as catalysts of oxidation-reduction reactions.\n\nA deficiency of iron makes us tired and apathetic, a condition known as anemia. Anemia is characterized by low levels of hemoglobin causing oxygen starvation in your tissues. Though anemia is a common condition, do not try self-diagnosing it, or try self-prescribing dietary supplements, because the same symptoms that indicate anemia can also indicate other more serious diseases, such as bleeding ulcers or even cancer. A list of foods rich in iron are helpful.\n\nfor the details.http://www.bloodbook.com/iron-foods.html

No, not in any simple way - and not to only increase your platelet count.\n\nBut the levels do rise and fall throughout your life.\n\nUnless you have a clotting disease (and I think if you did your question would have mentioned it) just be happy that you can donate aphaeresis at all.  A single is still a wonderful gift of life.

Lots of cardio, like running or aerobics, anything to get your heart rate up. And it helps to do at least some light weight lifting. Also make sure to burn more calories than you take in, and drink lots of water, about a gallon per day. Hope that helps!

Staying away from iron enriched foods may help. These foods include:\nBeet Greens \nCarob Flour or Carob Powder \nChard \nChicken \nClams \nDates \nDried Apricots \nDried Beans or Peas \nDried Peaches \nPrunes or Prune Juice \nDuck \nEggs \nEnriched Breads \nHam Iron-Fortified Cereal \nJerusalem Artichokes \nLiver \nLiver Sausage \nMeat, Especially Lean Beef or Pork \nMolasses  \nOysters \nPotatoes in the Skin \nPumpkin \nRaisins \nSardines \nScallops \nShrimp Soybeans and Soy Products \nSpinach \nTuna \nTurkey \nVeal \nWheat Germ \nWhole-Grain Breads \nYou should also talk to your doctor about your high hemoglobin since this can be the first signs of:\ncongenital heart disease \ncor pulmonale \npulmonary fibrosis \npolycythemia vera \nincreased RBC formation associated with excess erythropoietin \nAlso, if you haven't already had one, you need to have a total iron test done. This will rule out any iron related diseases.

You might try taking iron, it'll increase the number of red blood cells you have, and it's the red blood cells that carry oxygen to the rest of your body, but taking too much can cause problems so, I'd be careful about how much you take.

One, you can eat LOTS of carrots!  They are totally good for optical health.  Also, don't stay up too late, or read in bad light.  That makes them red!  If you ever get in a shower, try to prevent anything from getting in them.  Also, if none of this works, you could try eye drops.
