My husband, aged 68, had a mild heart attack last April. Nothing was done after two days in the hospital. He took a beta blocker and an ACE inhibitor for about three months and since then takes nothing but one baby aspirin, in addition to the Pauling therapy. He's been pretty good about taking the vitamin c and lysine, about 8 grams of C and 3 grams of lysine, plus 500 mg of proline. Last summer his CRP decreased from 2.91 to .70 after about three months on the Pauling therapy. He just happened to have had the CRP done before the heart attack.
Yesterday he got his blood work back for his annual physical and his CRP was 10.1. Everything else was normal, and cholesterol was down from 246 to about 200.
I am concerned about this sudden rise in CRP--any thoughts from anyone? I can't think of anything in his life that has changed. He works out three times a week and recently started doing interval training in addition to that.
