How can I lower my C-Reactive Protein test?

Are there any nutritional, herbal or mineral methods to lower my C-Reactive Protein reading? It is a test of Cardiac risk.

How can I lower my C-Reactive Protein test?
C reactive protein is NOT a test of cardiac risk. It is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation in the body, and elevations of CRP have been associated with cardiac events. This is a fine distinction, but it leads me to the point that lowering your CRP depends upon why it is elevated in the first place. It may be due to arthritis, a connective tissue disease, infection, or a host of other sources. You need to work with the physician who ordered the test to find out why it is elevated and then treat that condition.





Incidentally, treating the CRP has never been shown to reduce cardiac risk. Treating high cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and stopping smoking reduces cardiac risk, and you are much, much better off working on these traditional risk factors for heart disease.

"Patients who have low CRP levels after statin therapy have better clinical outcomes than those with higher CRP levels, REGARDLESS OF RESULTANT LEVELS OF LDL cholesterol"








Atherosclerosis regressed in patients with the greatest reduction in CRP levels, BUT NOT IN THISE WITH THE GREATEST REDUCTION IN LDL cholesterol levels."
