Lowering CRP
(2003) Garry, what data do you have re: hsCRP and CaEDTA’s effect to lower this now frequently used marker?
I understand the thrust to treat the bloodstream and it’s associated viscosity, but it has been my clinical impression that much of the inflammation originates in the GUT. Do you agree/disagree and if you agree, how do you approach the topic (of gut induced inflammation) in general?
Finally, how would I best be trained in the use of CaEDTA and basic chelating therapies? I already do some IV nutritional therapies, but I feel I have a lot of basic chemistry to learn before starting to walk down this road.
Dear Doctor:
Thanks for these great questions. I just lectured on this last week at AHIHMA and will be covering it in some depth this coming weekend in Phoenix on the 17th and 18th at the largely RNA based conference.
Thus I know I can turn OFF inflammation at will with our RNA specific products that are based on turning off the genes exactly as the researchers are doing with siRNA and RNA interference and now RNA switching. Yet, I too, want to keep the cost to patients more affordable so want to identify in each patient what is the MAJOR contributor in that person’s case.
I have seen data while in Paris last month that elimination of all foods to which the patient is reacting, by using a new more sensitive test not yet available here, drops all markers of inflammation DRAMATICALLY in all type 2 Diabetics. This seems to be from the activated leucocytes inducing cytokine release. I also push FIBER in my patients’ diets based on the INUFLORA research from Germany, which is Jerusalem Artichoke. All by itself in doses of 5 gm bid over a 6 months interval lowers C-reactive an average of 50% in their study, while dramatically lowering CANDIDA counts. Thus I felt they were showing we all have some dysbiosis and some leaky bowel leading to some abnormal food reactions inducing some of this gut related inflammation.
Then, of course, I go to all the infectious disease conferences. I believe what we will be introducing at my weekend conference about the persistence of many viral infections, even Herpes and all of the MMR vaccinations, we are convinced set up some chronic inflammation. See JAMA Fall 2003, Blalock, Interaction of Cytokines, Excitotoxins, and ROS etc. Thus we have MANY contributors to the excessive inflammation we know is inducing things like Alzheimer’s and Cancer as well as heart disease in our patients.
So I can turn it off with RNA based drops taken just 1 cc bid while helping lower dysbiosis with probiotics like Primal Defense taken with prebiotics like Inuflora, which I have now added to Rice Bran Extract to make what I call Beyond FIBER. Of course eating low glycemic foods will help and avoid POISONS from aspartame to fructose containing foods. All of these High Fructose corn derived soft drinks are doing great mischief to bowel physiology.
I have used Wobenzym and/or FYI (For YOUR INFLAMMATION) with great success for years and have many doctors agreeing that taking 8-12 FYI a day lowers C-reactive 50% without getting into all of these other things.

I know you talk of the deathly duo of inflammation and hypercoagulability with HM (Hg) toxicity). Makes so much sense. Do you see drops in CRP with your chelation protocol? Did you imply that a poor man’s eval of hypercoagulability is a sed rate? Have pnt with increased HM on challenge with CRP of 4.41, elevated platelets of 609 K/ul, Chol of 239 (4.1/l ratio), trig of 168; Likely these will all improve with chelation? Better/faster if you add IV UV/03 in conjunction? Think you spoke of giving them in tandem but if one is reducing agent [chelation-Vit C, EDTA (effective at least 6-12 hrs), etc] and other oxidizing agent (03), would they not be canceling out each other and thus better to separate by say 24 hrs? Thanks again.
Dear Doctor:
Great questions but I have run short of time so briefly there is NO one’s C reactive that I cannot get to normal. It is important and I can lower it 50% average with JUST 12 a day of FYI but then we get into the fun of oxidative and RNA therapies. Yes it seems that ideally some things could be separated but since we do things that are intracellular and extracellular and things change in the body rapidly, the overall improvement of patients has led me to the things I recommend now.
More later but continue to read the updates daily and things may come into better focus. Take advantage of a telephone consultation where you save your patient 50% of my fee by being ON THE PHONE so you can see how I approach complex problems.
Sincerely,
Garry F. Gordon, MD,DO,MD(H)
