OCTOBER 3, 2012 CRP



" Do not go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first."
       Mark Twain

The  serum marker for inflammation is called the C-reactive protein (CRP). As a cardiologist, I am concerned about the cardiac or high sensitive CRP. Although I was discussing this with patients ten years ago, it was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2004 that HS-CRP can be a marker for cardiac disease.
Chronically elevated CRP ( Normal <1 10="10" 3="3" a="a" also="also" and="and" as="as" associated="associated" attacks="attacks" but="but" diabetes="diabetes" especially="especially" factor="factor" for="for" greater="greater" heart="heart" ii="ii" independent="independent" infarctions="infarctions" insulin="insulin" is="is" known="known" less="less" metabolic="metabolic" myocardial="myocardial" or="or" p="p" resistance="resistance" risk="risk" stroke.="stroke." strong="strong" syndrome="syndrome" than="than" this="this" type="type" with="with" x="x">
In my opinion, to lower the CRP, use herbs such as Turmeric, Ginger, Indian Gooseberry, and grape seed extract with enzymes such as Bromelain, Nattokinase and Lumbrokinase. You also must utilize the above with strong anti-oxidants as Vitamin C, fish oils and even Pine seed oil. The herb Rhodiola has demonstrated an ability to reduce CRP. We also need to measure your DHEA level because low levels are associated with a higher CRP. We know from an earlier blog the benefits of certain fish. To maintain a normal CRP, do the following:

1. Maintain a healthy weight

2. Eat healthy

3. Do not smoke

4. Take botanical herbs and anti-oxidants

5. Reduce stress

6. Physical activity
