Dr Berg, you're such a blessing. I received my CRP blood test today And my CRP is a bit high. After listening to you I felt so much better, because you only explained how to reverse it, but you also give the types of foods a person can eat to reduce the inflammation, and also the supplements. I am following your keto regime and am beginning to see results , its slow, but am sure I'll get the results I aim for eventually. I live in the UK,am a retired nurse. I love your videos, I folliw most of the them , they're very informative, straight forward and on point. Just awesome !!!. Thank you sir.
AWESOME video Eric thank you my C-reactive 3yrs ago was 10 (canadian measurements) been keto for 10.5mths and want to see where it is now :D my A1C was 8.1 now 5.5 Was going into perimenopause now have ovaries of a 20yrs old (I'm 41) triglycerides was 4.50 now 1.1 Lost 32lbs THANK YOU for everything you do for us.... Your an angel in disguise xoxo
I've never heard of this before, ever. Thanks for helping. Please continue to make more videos. The Sugar and Pharmacy conglomerates have the world so blind.
Hi Dr. Berg. I recently had a CRP test and it had shot through the roof compared to previous tests. Thinking about what haf changed, and going on a hunch, I found several studies on Pubmed which corelated high CRP and sleep deprivation. Take a look at that and you may want to discuss that in future discussions on lowering CRP :) :)
Thank you, I am a nurse refreshing my memory, I am off work for 3 months had surgery and I plan on going back to work soon. Miss socializing with my patients, co-workers, and families.
I needed to know this because the information doctors give you is confuse. My CRP (PCR in spanish) is very high (21.2 of a 1 to 3 Range) and the two doctors I visit said I have to loose 60 pounds. So one of them gave me a diet of five meals a day, sometimes with sandwich and a glass of juice for dinner. A week ago I found one of your videos and I'm on the third day of fasting to loose wait but not knowing it will low my crp levels too. So thanks a lot for the video.
I know that this is an old comment but weight loss is known to alter every single blood marker so you shouldn't pay attention to them while losing weight (or testing them at all). Instead you should compare the initial values and after weight has being stable for some time..
Thank you for the information- I just found out today that my C reactive protein is 13.8. Doctor told me to take 2- 1000 mg of vitamin C daily, also no more red meats.
Thank you Dr Berg! For approximately a year and a half now...after finding out my CRP was 3.6 (I hear it should be at 1) I began eating approximately 9 cups of leafy greens and Raw vegetables a day. I exercise 4 to 6 times a week keeping my heart rate at 125 for 25 minutes, My proteins are wild caught salmon grass fed beef.. hormone free free range chicken. Due to a family history of Alzheimer’s & heart disease (Father died at age 44 heart disease ) I dropped all gluten and most starches and sugar a year and a half ago. I intermittent fast...and do from time to time fall into ketosis. I’m 60 years of age (female) and I do not carry Apoe4 gene. Neither did my mother carry the gene for Alzheimer’s, she went on to get Alzheimer’s disease at age 67. Her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 67 as well. (I’m thinking a toxin that passed the blood brain barrier...possibly through the placenta while my mom was in utero. 🤷♀️ I take to tumeric daily in my drinks with water and apple cider vinegar. I take sublingual vitamin D3 with K2 every day , 1400 mg of vitamin C liposomal. CoQ10 400 mg a day. My morning blood glucose is usually in the lower 80s. I just re-tested my CRP and it is now 6.59. Darn...I will test again in another few months I’m not sure what to do to see if I can change the outcome of that score. I had pulled back on my omega threes lately (chitchat out on the Internet talking about trying to get omega-3‘s naturally instead of through supplements) and will increase the CoQ10. I will also add the stinging nettle. Love love love your videos!!!!!! Thank you soooo much! I’ll watch your commercials and give you a thumbs up... I’ve already subscribed!
To avoid Alzheimer's & Dementia there are lots of things Seniors need to do/ take , consume 3/4 cup mushrooms weekly, stop eating at 8 PM and then after 8 AM (12 hours break so brain can be cleaned of plaque and body isn't involved with digestion), get 8 hours sleep , sprinkle shelled hemp hearts (health food store, like Whole Foods) over breakfast cereal or toast & jam, ground flaxseed, vitamin B12 along with vegetable juice to name a few.
Good info. Mine always comes back elevated and I have been gluten free for 7 years and consume very little sugar and do not snack. Did not know about the Vitamin C part. I definitely don't get enough veggies in. Not so much about not liking them rather the effort/time in cleaning, slicing, dicing, cooking and cleaning. Need to make more of an effort I guess. Assuming a green drink won't suffice?!
I probably have never been in ketosis, but am on a high fat, low carb diet and it keeps my weight steady. After listening to this video I'm going to be more diligent with gluten and not have it. I only eat 2 meals a day and would like to change to OMD soon. II also have 6 or 8 supplements day. I always feel good the next day, noticeable if I forgot a few days.
This is a very poorly done video. HS-CRP is an acute phase reactant that releases interleukin 6. It is a marker of systematic inflammation. It’s not an indicator of inflammation in the heart specifically. So many things elevate it. The number one thing you need to do is lower body fat. Then if it’s still high move on these other recommendations.
My CRP(HS) was 2.07 back in February 2020. November 9, 2020 CRP(HS) shows 1.01. I know it is a very good thing that it dropped so much but does this mean whatever inflammation I might of had in my system is improving? In February 2020 I started a lifestyle change. I don't drink coffee anymore, lowered my carb intake, trying to opt for good carbs instead of refined ones. I don't eat any sweets (rarely I cheat). Also did some intermittent fasting in the summer. I eat more vegetables and protein and don't eat late at night. I am walking, moving more. Since February I have lost at least 15lbs so far. I think it does help that I started this since I was also prediabetic and I reversed it. My question is: Since CRP level is an inflammation marker, if I had anything serious going on in my body the level wouldn't of dropped from like 2.07 to 1.01. Thank you. By the way you have very good knowledgeable videos. I really like them.
My liver was under attack to and high blood pressure Im hope to change in all I eat vegables every day now. It was all down to being fat. Im onmy way to getting my life back.

Hello and thanks for the quality content. I have ankylosing spondilitis after being subjected to an overdose of antibiotics that screwed up my gut microbiome and now i have what you call a "leaky gut" so for me the source of imflammation is mainly gluten. If i avoid gluten and meat i have very low inflammation.

My quantitative crp this time was 12.7. I'm told I have 3 autoimmune diseases. Lupus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma. I stay in pain but my new rheumatologist is very compassionate and helping me with that. Any suggestions on how to get my crp down?
Hi Dr. Berg, I've healed my Stage Zero bladder tumor and hypothyroidism from almost five years ago with Immunotherapy (for the tumor), homeopathy (for the thyroid) and changing my diet completely. I still have to visit my doctor with my latest bloodwork report which shows very high CRP, creatinine and uric acid. I'm just trying to understand what this new change means and how best to tackle it. I feel better after listening to you although my diet change has included almost everything you've mentioned in this video. Sleep deprivation and lack of exercise are still two factors that I need to correct.
My C-Reactive Protein is high. Appreciating information like this that educates me. Now I can understand what brought my lab results up so high and what I can do to lower that number to get and keep myself on a focused path! Keep on doing what you're doing!!

The nurse called me and told me to come in to discuss my lab results. When I arrived, she told me that I had a lot of inflammation (CRP 62.7) and that I was gonna have a heart attack, stroke, or sudden death. She didn't explain anything else to me. I went home horrified. I promptly found a new PCP and I have an upcoming appointment.
That is terrifying! My CRP is 36.4 and that is scary. Please give us an update? How are you doing and what have you done to improve your numbers. Thanks for sharing.
It is not just people who don’t eat veggies who have inflammation. I eat loads of veg- closer to 10 cups than 7 each day. I have loads, don’t eat ANY grains and no dairy, no legumes, no nightshade. Still have inflammation😓
I am a 54 year old woman with a CAC score of zero but a C-RP of between eight and 10. I have a symptomless bladder infection could that be causing the High C-RP results? I do all your other suggested things and still have the high count.
What about LOW reactive protein. A prediabetic relative has has diarrhea for the last several weeks and his most recent blood panel showed low c reactive protein. I've been trying to convince him to go Keto but low cpr doesn't exactly strengthen my case, right?
Sir I have gone through blood test and my c reactive is 6.1. I want to know does c reactive also leads to gain wait or constipation. I have constipation for almost 3 years now. Kindly help I am very frustrate from my body metabolism. What do do?
Thank you. Very informative... And mentioned many things I honestly didn't know, things that are not mentioned in classes, things I couldn't have possibly connected the dots between.
I read this book about inflammation nation that indicated that arrichodonic acid is found in a lot of food with eggs being high in this A acid. The A acid turns into CRP. I've been eating eggs everyday. Is this dangerous for me? Now, I'm worried. Please help explain.
He says get the grains out of the diet? But the older rural Chinese ate the typical Asian diet which is about 90% white rice. Their CRP levels stay far below 1 for their entire lives and they have dramatically lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer so there must be something to a diet of grains. Dr John McDougall explains it in his book " The Starch Solution"
My Father has been suffering the Heart Disease ... 3 years. His EF 30% .... And he has affected with viral disease and CRP is high than normal label. How can we quick move to Normal Label urgently ... His CRP is 105mg/L ... Need to back < 10 Mg/L
My fasting insulin is low as well as my AIC but my crp was a little high...What gives? They are retesting today the doctors says that the test sometimes comes back wrong
Hello - just got some test results. Have been on KETO diet since July 2019 (lost 25 pounds) and my cholesterol total is 231, LDL 182, Triglcyeride 76, HDL 68. hs-CRP is the same as a year ago at 2.2. Nothing is improving. I am eating good oils, good fats. I know I could improve on eating my greens. Do you think I should have concerns?
Vegetables don't neccesarily lower inflammation or c reactive protein, it's entirely dependent on your individual response to certain foods. You also can take vitamin c supplements instead of trying to eat an absurd amount of vegetables per day although you will miss out on other micronutrients. Lots of misinformation in this video. Typical medical literature would indicate that my ldl cholestrol would be higher on a diet involving high amounts of saturated fats specifically from red meat yet I stopped eating red meat entirely, used 10g of quality fish oils per day for over 4 months among other supplements, and my ldl and particle count got higher. I switched back to red meat and basically cut out Vegetables entirely and my hdl improved and my ldl/particle count and c reactive protein lowered.
I currently have a high C reactive protein but can't eat anything. For about 18 months I've been sick with 99% of my food due to EoE. Dr are being absolutely ridiculous an slow sorting me out. I read that having high CRP is very dangerous. Do you have any advice please?
Thanks you so much for this! I'm being pressured to go on statins because of my cholesterol (but my HDL is also high) and inflammation markers. I have done keto in the past but cheated too much/too often. Now I see the snacking and cheats with breads/cakes and other baked goods impact more than just ketosis/weight loss. There's no such thing as moderation with those. I am working to get back into ketosis and will add IF.
Have a CAC scan done to see if you actually have any plaque in your blood vessels. They told my husband that he needed to be on statins but his CAC score was 0. No plaque. Insurance does not cover it (no surprise there) but I believe it was $99. Worth every penny for peace of mind and confidence not taking statins.
Have had chronic hives for 4 months. No answers yet. CPR has just come back at 22, awaiting to see what the doctors have to say now. Long weekend sadly.
Dr Berg I have been following your video and all you have to offer. I am on LCHF-IF keto life, have been since Nov 2016. Two weeks ago I notice I could not stop my throat from contracting. It goes on and off.. I am just wondering if some thing is up with my thyroids? Any suggestion? Thank you.
My husband has Rheumatoid Arthritis and we are doing Paleo/Keto although he has noticed some changes it seems to be quite slow. Were already following a lot of your advice. I am hoping its just because its fairly early days.
i had recurrent tonsil...around 10 times in 4 months........after much and many time medicine taking the doctor is on the way to crp and cdp test . can you brief me a little about this?
Hi @Dr. Eric Berg, did you mean to consume Only Omega 3 on its own? I noticed that most of the ones sold (oil supplements) are always combined with Omega 3-6-9. XO Thanks for your awesome videos
Hello Dr. Berg Can prolonged fasting increase the level of CRP? My husband has rectal cancer, he did 4 days fast several days ago. Due to temperature he has done CRP test, is was high. I wonder is it related to disease condition or fasting could also be related to it? Can he fast during antibiotic therapy?
I have a question for Doctor Eric. I went to the dermatologist, and i am being treated with cortisone shots for mild alopecia on the side of my head and on my scalp. Is there any benefit to getting the C-reactive protein test? To maybe locate any inflammation? Would the test help me understand where the inflammation is coming from so i can work on my Alopecia and psoriasis?
I'm on a low fiber diet cause of some gi issues I have and my c reactive protein is 8.5 what can I do to bring it down cause I can't eat vegetables r fruits like alot of people can

@kbb8934check for parasites if you can find a doc who knows how to do that since many don’t show up on traditional tests
Grains are a problem. Eating bread makes my leg swell to huge proportions. And eating outside the house. I use pink and grey salt, no problem.
Do oats make the swelling worse?
What causes the inflammation? My functional med doc says it's most likely dental issues. So we want to take care of those also.
Inflammation is usually caused by the body healing something. So if you have an infection, like a dental infection, you might get inflamed.
Seed oils, foods, and more

I am a 54 year old woman with a CAC score of zero but a C-RP of between eight and 10. I have a symptomless bladder infection could that be causing the High C-RP results? I do all your other suggested things and still have the high count.
What about LOW reactive protein. A prediabetic relative has has diarrhea for the last several weeks and his most recent blood panel showed low c reactive protein. I've been trying to convince him to go Keto but low cpr doesn't exactly strengthen my case, right?
Sir I have gone through blood test and my c reactive is 6.1. I want to know does c reactive also leads to gain wait or constipation. I have constipation for almost 3 years now. Kindly help I am very frustrate from my body metabolism. What do do?
Would like to see an answer to this question
The gut is the primary reason for inflamation and the gut is connected to sinuses
@@TalesofaFilmmaker is the GI-map the best test for pinpointing the exact cause of gut inflammation?
Can Blood pressure meds, pain killers (Naproxen) & viral meds, cause CRP as well?
Thank you. Very informative... And mentioned many things I honestly didn't know, things that are not mentioned in classes, things I couldn't have possibly connected the dots between.
Hey are you a doctor ?
Mine is 44.7. Normal is 0-5. I had pneumonia and a rectus sheath hematoma. I’ve changed my diet and hoping to get it down.
I read this book about inflammation nation that indicated that arrichodonic acid is found in a lot of food with eggs being high in this A acid. The A acid turns into CRP. I've been eating eggs everyday. Is this dangerous for me? Now, I'm worried. Please help explain.
I'd love his view on that as well
Cut out all meat. Look up Dr Robert Morse. Acids in the body cause inflammation and breaking down of the bodies tissues etc
My doc tested me for liver flukes and I have them, they are screwing everything up.
He says get the grains out of the diet? But the older rural Chinese ate the typical Asian diet which is about 90% white rice. Their CRP levels stay far below 1 for their entire lives and they have dramatically lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer so there must be something to a diet of grains. Dr John McDougall explains it in his book " The Starch Solution"
Look at aged garlic extract also.
My Father has been suffering the Heart Disease ... 3 years. His EF 30% .... And he has affected with viral disease and CRP is high than normal label. How can we quick move to Normal Label urgently ... His CRP is 105mg/L ... Need to back < 10 Mg/L
I'm just 18 now. But my CRP is 51.1. Its really horrible. What to do ? And why it increased soo much ? How to decrease the level please tell me
Shreya sardar have u been seen by a Dr and put on medication?
Hi how r u now?
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Most welcome!
My fasting insulin is low as well as my AIC but my crp was a little high...What gives? They are retesting today the doctors says that the test sometimes comes back wrong
My crp is 30. I go back to the doc in 6 weeks
Hope everything will be fine. Wishing you good health.
You are amazing Dr Berg, I cannot thank you enough🤩
That's nothing. Glad to help you all. Take care.
Hello - just got some test results. Have been on KETO diet since July 2019 (lost 25 pounds) and my cholesterol total is 231, LDL 182, Triglcyeride 76, HDL 68. hs-CRP is the same as a year ago at 2.2. Nothing is improving. I am eating good oils, good fats. I know I could improve on eating my greens. Do you think I should have concerns?
Vegetables don't neccesarily lower inflammation or c reactive protein, it's entirely dependent on your individual response to certain foods. You also can take vitamin c supplements instead of trying to eat an absurd amount of vegetables per day although you will miss out on other micronutrients. Lots of misinformation in this video. Typical medical literature would indicate that my ldl cholestrol would be higher on a diet involving high amounts of saturated fats specifically from red meat yet I stopped eating red meat entirely, used 10g of quality fish oils per day for over 4 months among other supplements, and my ldl and particle count got higher. I switched back to red meat and basically cut out Vegetables entirely and my hdl improved and my ldl/particle count and c reactive protein lowered.
I currently have a high C reactive protein but can't eat anything. For about 18 months I've been sick with 99% of my food due to EoE. Dr are being absolutely ridiculous an slow sorting me out. I read that having high CRP is very dangerous. Do you have any advice please?
Hello. Sorry, we do not have information/ video about this. We will add this to our video suggestion list for now. Thanks.

Dr, how about if insulin is low (6 ulU/ml fasting) what would be the reason to have CRP high at 9?
Did you find anything out? My fasting insulin is under 3 but my hs-crp is 7.6
Thanks you so much for this! I'm being pressured to go on statins because of my cholesterol (but my HDL is also high) and inflammation markers. I have done keto in the past but cheated too much/too often. Now I see the snacking and cheats with breads/cakes and other baked goods impact more than just ketosis/weight loss. There's no such thing as moderation with those. I am working to get back into ketosis and will add IF.
no statin.
Have a CAC scan done to see if you actually have any plaque in your blood vessels. They told my husband that he needed to be on statins but his CAC score was 0. No plaque. Insurance does not cover it (no surprise there) but I believe it was $99. Worth every penny for peace of mind and confidence not taking statins.
Have had chronic hives for 4 months. No answers yet. CPR has just come back at 22, awaiting to see what the doctors have to say now. Long weekend sadly.
What was your results , Im going thru the same
So nicely covered 💫
Does CRP go up when the person has colon/ stomach cancer?
How much vitamin K2 do you recommend? I'm a heart attack survivor and my CRP is high.
You are wonderful by all means Dr. Berg
48 to 72 hour intermittent fasting with a Keto refeed in between seems to have put my RA into remission for the most part.
useful information. may you live long.
best explanation so far thank you so much
Dr Berg I have been following your video and all you have to offer. I am on LCHF-IF keto life, have been since Nov 2016.
Two weeks ago I notice I could not stop my throat from contracting. It goes on and off.. I am just wondering if some thing is up with my thyroids? Any suggestion? Thank you.
Very useful video Dr. Thanyou for explaining it in very crisp manner. Thank you very much. Does higher CRP could cause Cancer?
My husband has Rheumatoid Arthritis and we are doing Paleo/Keto although he has noticed some changes it seems to be quite slow. Were already following a lot of your advice. I am hoping its just because its fairly early days.
@joel staley Burn Fat fast Program helped me due to aggressive Intermittent Fasting
i had recurrent tonsil...around 10 times in 4 months........after much and many time medicine taking the doctor is on the way to crp and cdp test . can you brief me a little about this?
Lately I've been liking turmeric scrambled eggs on top of salad tossed with a turmeric vinaigrette!
Don't forget to add black pepper, or the turmeric will be pretty much useless for the body.
why? what does the black pepper do?
Black pepper does activates the turmeric
Hi @Dr. Eric Berg, did you mean to consume Only Omega 3 on its own? I noticed that most of the ones sold (oil supplements) are always combined with Omega 3-6-9. XO Thanks for your awesome videos
I have been taking Antarctic krill oil and my score went down. It's just Omega 3.
Hello Dr. Berg Can prolonged fasting increase the level of CRP? My husband has rectal cancer, he did 4 days fast several days ago. Due to temperature he has done CRP test, is was high. I wonder is it related to disease condition or fasting could also be related to it? Can he fast during antibiotic therapy?
Will definately try the Gluten Sugar out of my food intake as I do have High C R P thank you Dr Berg and will let you know what my results are later
I have a question for Doctor Eric. I went to the dermatologist, and i am being treated with cortisone shots for mild alopecia on the side of my head and on my scalp. Is there any benefit to getting the C-reactive protein test? To maybe locate any inflammation? Would the test help me understand where the inflammation is coming from so i can work on my Alopecia and psoriasis?
If you have cirrhosis do you even make c reactive protein?because the liver makes it so if your liver is stuffed you can't really make it can you?
Mineis kinda stiffed because Im over waight but hope to reverse it soon.
Hello doc. My friend (Man -36 yrs) has this done and value is 0.1 mg/L. That means no blockage in arteries?
