Once again the "common folk" is a victim of the C-reactive protein (CRP) hype. A study done in 2003 showed pre-menopausal women that took birth control had twice as much CRP in their blood than women who did not take the pill. Since chronically high CRP has been linked to heart disease and inflammation and is believed to play a key role in narrowing and hardening of the arteries, it would be easy to believe the pill promotes inflammation (had we not all recently learned CRP is not the best indicator of inflammation)! However the pill has also been studied to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer due to the estrogen present.. But that's a whole other story. Pros and cons, pros and cons.
The same study revealed that even though levels of CRP were twice as high in the women who took the pill, both group's levels were considered to be in the "normal" range.
So what do we get from all this... Women currently on birth control pills shouldn’t throw them out strictly based on the fear of increased CRH levels and heart disease. Remember, heart disease is most commonly linked to other important factors such as SMOKING, diet, and genetics. Also, there are other important risk factors associated with the pill that we should be concerned with (as discussed in the discussion about stroke and blood clots linked to the pill). In conclusion, More research is necessary on this topic and hopefully next time it will include more factors besides good ol' CRP.

ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lupus,Lymne Disease,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
