Pathway names describe different jobs
Remethylation and transsulfuration are connected, but they are not the same process. Dr. Purser discusses MTHFR alongside CBS, MTR, MTRR and SHMT1 because these gene…

Homocysteine and environmental exposures
Some search terms matched…gs genetics and toxicants into one model, but they describe different things. Susceptibility is a possible tendency to respond differently; exposure is contact with a substance. A gene result does not establish that an exposure occurred. Dr…

What Causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Some search terms matchedDo you know what causes chronic fatigue? Dr. Purser explains the top causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and shares what steps to take to feel normal again. Discover why CFS is a symptom of underlying conditions and what the treatment of underlying causes of CFS includes. Dr. Purser dispels the myth of medication deficiency related to CFS symptoms. Discover the relationship of nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalance, and poorly understood genetic causes from MTHFR deficiency to fatigue. Learn what contributes to fatigue when the absorption of Vitamin B12, folate, pantothenate, and oth
