How Elevated Homocysteine, Impaired Methylation, and Glutathione Deficiency May Be Driving PCOS, Chronic Pain, Brain Fog, Stroke Risk, and Detox Failure — and Why Genetic Testing WILL Change the Way

What are a few diseases connected to MTHFR? Fatigue, anxiety, depression, ADHD, cardiovascular disease, clotting issues, and more. But YOU can get a handle on these with correct supplementation based on intracellular nutrient levels. Reach
Beneficial effects of CoQ10 have been reported in the treatment of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Most people have never heard of homocysteine , yet this small molecule may hold the key to understanding inflammation, cardiovascular disease, neurological problems, and many chronic conditions. For decades, homocysteine was viewed as a toxic substance in the blood. Doctors were taught that lowering it with B-vitamins might reduce heart disease risk. But research results were inconsistent, leaving many physicians unsure whether homocysteine truly mattered. New research and clinical observations are changing that view. We introduce a new framework called the Purser Model , which explains why ho
If you’ve been struggling with severe chronic fatigue, unexplained anxiety, or cardiovascular red flags, your genes might be trying to tell you something. Millions of patients walk out of traditional clinics with normal blood tests, only to be told their crippling symptoms are "all in their head." If you carry the C677T variant, you aren't crazy—you are dealing with a breakdown in cellular biochemistry. The Problem With Synthetic Folic Acid The standard advice from standard doctors is to take synthetic folic acid. For someone with the C677T genetic mutation, this is disastrous. Your enzyme pat
Homocysteine rarely gets the attention of cholesterol, blood sugar, or blood pressure.
It should.
When homocysteine becomes elevated, it has been associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, blood clots, and other he
Could an overlooked lab marker be providing valuable insight into your health?
Understanding your homocysteine level may help you and your healthcare provider identify opportunities to support cardiovascular health, healthy methylation, an
Lowering homocysteine isn’t just about taking a supplement and hoping for the best.
What if the way it’s commonly “managed” is only scratching the surface—and missing the bigger picture entirely?
From cardiovascular risk to neurological hea
High homocysteine often shows up first as widespread inflammation—pain all over, poor circulation, or even early warning signs of cardiovascular problems like stroke and heart attack. The best way to know for sure is through testing: a blood test can measure homocysteine directly, while a CMA with Redox uncovers the vitamin deficiencies driving it. For genetic causes, the DRP Genetics panel screens 15–16 of the 17 known SNPs that can cause permanently high homocysteine. If your levels are fixed by genetics, reduced glutathione and targeted B vitamins (like MTHFR Daily) are key to balancing the
Following a controversial post about medical stents, Dr. Purser talks heavily about statins and other options to reduce cholesterol & plaque buildup and lower lower blood pressure.
