E coli embeds itself into tissue. Antibiotic will not get it out and neither will herbs unless a person takes forskolin it forces E coli and other embedded infections out of the tissues.

So taking adaptogens and nervine type herbs may help. Ashwangha, Rhodiola, Gensing especially Panax gensing, and holy basil are very effective adaptogens. Some effective nervines which are calming herbs are California poppy, gingko, bacopa, are very effective. Kava Kava and Passion flower are some of the most potent but if taken in high dose or for months at a time they can start damaging the liver and can irritate the stomach. Excess iron consumption can also cause an E coli infection.
To increase white blood cell count most of the oil soluble vitamins are needed and Omega three oils. Vitamin C helps to increase white blood cell count. Zinc is vital for the production of white blood cells. Folate found in leafy greens and selenium found in brazil nuts increases white blood cell count. Garlic helps to increase white blood cell count and so do cruciferous vegetables. Echinacea is effective at increasing white blood cell count. Elderberry has also been shown to increase white blood cell count.
E coli get established in the tissues so will reoccur if you do not use something to get them out of the tissue. The only thing found that will accomplish that is forskolin. If you do not get E coli out of the tissue reinfection will keep occurring. You can buy forskolin as a supplement.
