If I understand correctly you say that there is an abnormal blood count. Assuming this is a red blood cell count iron would be ineffective because it is not a deficiency in iron but rather in the amount of mature red blood cells. In this case I don't know what could improve the condition, but iron would have limited to no effect.\n\nThis question needs to be directed to a doctor familiar with the circumstance of the particular case

Vitamin B1 or thiamine enhances circulation and assists in blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion.  \n\nA deficiency in this would be a disease called beriberi, which affects the nervous system.  This is usually rare in developed nations.\n\nSymptoms include constipation, fatigue, forgetfulness, labored breathing, loss of appetite, nervousness, numbness of hands and feet, pain and sensitivity, poor coordination, general weakness and severe weight loss.\n\nThe richest sources of B1 include brown rice, legumes, peanuts, peas, rice bran, wheat germ and whole grains.  If you are not a vegetarian, you can also find B1 in egg yolks, fish, liver, pork and poultry.

1. Iron foods - Best thing to overcome the problem\nGive them enough Spinach. If they don't like it. Make some patties or pastries with spinach. They will love to eat it. Spinach is 100% of iron.\n\n2. If the iron level is too low, give them an iron tonic (children love to have syrup than tablets) until they overcome the lower level.

Anaemia due to iron deficiency\nAnaemia is a condition in which the blood cannot carry enough oxygen. This may be because there are less red blood cells than normal, or because there is not enough haemoglobin in each cell.\n\nIron is the main component of haemoglobin. Lack of dietary iron is the world's leading nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anaemia.\n\nOther vitamins that are needed for the body to make red blood cells include folate (folic acid) and vitamin B12. A lack of these in the diet can cause anaemia. For more information about these, please see the separate BUPA factsheets on Folate-deficiency anaemia and Vitamin B12-deficiency anaemia.\n\nCauses of iron-deficiency anaemia \nA common cause of iron-deficiency anaemia in women is heavy periods (menorrhagia). About 1 in 10 women become anaemic at some time in their life due to heavy periods. \nStomach ulcers, piles, ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the colon) and bowel cancer may cause bleeding in the gut and result in anaemia. Often the bleeding is not obvious because the blood is passed unnoticed in the stools. \nKidney or bladder disease can cause bleeding that can result in anaemia. The blood may be passed unnoticed in the urine. \nSome bowel conditions, such as coeliac disease (gluten sensitivity) or chronic diarrhoea, cause poor absorption of foods containing iron. \nLow dietary iron can lead to anaemia, although there are many sources of iron, including meat, green vegetables, milk, flour and eggs. In the UK, a lack of iron in the diet is unlikely to be the cause of anaemia, except in very young children. \nPregnancy can lead to iron-deficiency anaemia, because the growing baby needs iron and takes its supply from the mother. Iron deficiency is more likely to develop during pregnancy in women whose diet does not contain plenty of iron. \nCertain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or cancer, can lead to iron-deficiency anaemia. In this case adequate iron is present in the diet, but the developing red blood cells in the bone marrow cannot use the iron properly. \nLong-term aspirin-taking is associated with iron-deficiency anaemia because it can cause bleeding in the stomach without any symptoms. \nHookworm infection can cause iron-deficiency anaemia, and is the most common cause worldwide. People who live in or travel to tropical countries are at risk of hookworm infection. Hookworms feed off blood inside the intestines. \nSymptoms\nPeople with iron-deficiency anaemia have symptoms caused by a low level of oxygen in the blood. These include:\n\nbreathlessness \ntiredness \ndizziness \nrapid, weak pulse or palpitations \nheadaches \nLess common symptoms can include tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and altered taste.\n\nAs well as having the symptoms of anaemia, people with iron deficiency may have pale skin, brittle nails, cracked lips and an inflamed tongue. Very rarely, people get pica, which is a craving for non-food substances such as ice.\n\nOccasionally, in women over 40, iron deficiency can be a symptom of a condition called Plummer-Vinson syndrome. This also causes swallowing difficulties and occasionally web-like growths in the oesophagus.\n\nIron deficiency can also reduce attention span, cause behavioural and developmental problems in young children and weaken the immune system.\n\nDiagnosis\nAnyone with symptoms that may be due to anaemia, such as paleness, weakness and fatigue, should visit their GP. He or she will ask about your symptoms, medical history and current eating habits, and may perform a physical examination.\n\nA simple blood test can measure the number of red cells and the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. The normal amount is at least 13g/dl (13 grams of haemoglobin per decilitre of blood) for men and 11g/dl for women. This test can determine if you are anaemic, but does not identify the cause of the anaemia.\n\nSometimes the cause is clear, for example in women who are pregnant or have heavy peri

No it shouldn't.  Vitamins aren't really herbs.  Vitamins are often in herbs, but they are a different compound.  I don't belive they will effect the functioning at all.

Nutritional things a person can do to help strengthen his/her immune system are taking Vitamins A, C, and E area which are collectively known as the anticancer vitamins. The immune system needs these plus minerals like zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) to do its job. Dark green leafy vegetables, especially cabbage relatives like broccili and kale and orange vegetables like carrots are high in ACE. These nutrients also are valuable in fighting colds, flu, etc. Many knowledgable nutritionists feel that the RDA for vitamin C (currently 100 mg for non-smokers) is way too low, and often recommend anywhere from one to three grams a day.

Low iron- anemia\n\nSources of iron:\n\nanimal livers \nanimal kidneys\nred meat \negg yolk\nbread\ngreen vegetables\n\n\nHowever, don't go on a eating spree, because the body only requires 1 to 2 milligrams of iron each day. Excess iron consumed all at once causes vomiting, diarrhea, and damage to the intestine. Excess iron consumed over a period of time may damage coronary arteries.\n\n\nAn additional tip on how to maximize the absorption of iron in your body:\n\nThe iron found in animal products are absorbed more efficiently than those found in other products (e.g. most foods and iron supplements) \n\nHowever, if you happen to consume lots of vegetables, to take animal protein (eggs, fish) and/or vitamin C with it. \n\n\nlow potassium- severe muscle weakness\n\n\nsources of potassium:\n\nbananas, \ntomatoes, \noranges, \ncantaloupes, \nand peaches
