Is there a link between high CRP levels (23) and high SED and headaches? I have had headaches since I was 18 and I am 46 now. I also got ulcers at 18. The ulcers have been better but the headaches I can not get rid of. I take corgard and prozac daily and relpax when needed. Can you point me in any direction?
Thanks
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a measurement of inflammation. When it is mildly elevated, in the 1 to 4 range, that increased inflammation is correlated with vascular (and subsequently heart) disease. High levels of 23 indicate much more inflammation, like viruses or joint or gastrointestinal inflammation of a significant degree. If this inflammation persists, then it certainly could be a trigger for headaches. CRP is just a marker, and in and of itself will not cause the headaches. Natural anti-inflammatories may help, but you need to find the cause, which will probably require a full exam and laboratory work-up by an alternative medicine physician. You can carefully review any information in my archives on gastrointestinal disorders and try those things you haven’t tried yet.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:
