STEPHEN PHINNEY m12| REDUCING INFLAMMATION …CRP: key for inflammation reduced by fish oil; DHA

http://www.DoctorsToTrust.com
presents episode 2361 | Dr STEPHEN PHINNEY

Besides white blood cell count as a predictor of heart risk, is
IL-6 and CRP:
-IL-6 mildly significant indicator
-CRP strong indicator: bottom 2 quartiles vs top: 4X risk
Modern statins can reduce CRP
Study, Harvard, 17k healthy,
LDL <130; CRP>2.0, RCT:
stopped study at 1.9 years due to
statin group hazard ratio .56
success at lowering LDL & CRP
but, T2D up 28%

Study, new drug Canakinumab for atherosclerosis disease...
-anti-IL-1B monoclonal antibody tested in RCT...
-CRP reduced 26 to 41%, dose dependent manner
-heart risk reduced significantly at p<0.005
Use of drug, however, resulted in
increase in fatal sepsis, but not
in overall mortality

Fish oil as having abundant anti-inflammatory nutrients...
[careful, easily oxidized--Dr Paul Mason]
Gamma-linolenic acid, fatty acid
-resveratrol
But, careful of single nutrients,
highly refined, not naturally
occurring that way in food
Gamma-tocopherol is potent
reducer of CRP--but not available
due to big pharma buying it
and holding it
