It's hard to imagine reducing it from there by a factor of 100. Yes, I should have posted 0.5. Put the decimal in the wrong place. Thanks for playing games with it. I am for anything that gives you the jollies for the day.....:>)

I happened on these CRP targets today in a Life Extension article. "The optimal range for C-reactive protein is under 0.55 mg/L in men and under 1.5 mg/L in women." It's a long article so I'm not posting it but I think it's excellent. "It's called No More Heart Attacks!." lef.org Here's another tidbit: "Vitamin C Reduces C-Reactive Protein Right after the media put Crestor® on the front pages, a study was published showing that 1,000 mg a day of vitamin C reduces C-reactive protein as well as some statin drugs. Needless to say, this vitamin C study received scant media coverage. In this University of California at Berkeley study, participants who received vitamin C and started out with C-reactive protein levels greater than 2.00 mg/L had 34% lower levels compared with the placebo group after only two months."
