Who does a permanent move from sea level to a high altitude effect red blood cell count?

Hemostasis would increase the number of RBCs in circulation to allow for enough transport of oxygen. This also happens in smokers, (to compensate for the loss of functional lung surface) when smokers move to high altitude, they have less "buffer" to compensate.
Populations living in high altitudes have developed a number of adaptations to cope with the lack of oxygen (compared to sea level). Among which increased lung capacity and more effective red blood cells.

What is the long term effect of athletic training on RBC count?
The more we use our skeletal muscles, the more oxygen they need. This causes an increase in rbc count because rbcs carry the oxygen. If an athlete trains at high altitude, the rbc count will increase even more because the body compensates for the lower oxygen level at high altitude by increasing rbc count even more. This is sometimes referred to as 'packing'.
What effect does running have on RBC count?
Blood consists of red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma. Plasma, which constitutes for more than half of normal blood, is about 90% water, thus dehydration can cause a relative increase in RBC count (i.e. there is no real increase in the cell count but decrease in the plasma component).

No, increased white blood cell count indicates the body is fighting some form of infection. Pepitas are high in anitoxidents and healthy oils but they don't effect your white count.
