Let’s explore “Genetics, CMA and blood tests”

VDR encodes the vitamin D receptor, which helps regulate gene activity in response to active vitamin D. A receptor variant does not by itself mean receptors are absent or that the blood vitamin D level is low.

IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample.

Explore dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), nitric oxide, blood vessels, and related blood-vessel pathways.

The genetic test everyone recommends isn't necessarily the genetic test you need. With dozens of companies promising life-changing insights, how do you separate meaningful data from expensive noise? Are some genetic tests providing real a

PURSER WELLNESSHave Fibromyalgia? This video is for you - let’s get to the root.A conversation with Dr. Purser

The real root of fibromyalgia? It’s not just pain — it’s copper. We’ve uncovered that fibromyalgia is often driven by genetic mutations (like CBS, GAD1, GAD2) that affect how your body handles copper. The copper builds up in your blood but never makes it into your cells — leading to widespread pain, inflammation, and migraines.

PURSER WELLNESSHomocysteine is the Secret AssasinA conversation with Dr. Purser

Homocysteine is nasty — but here’s the truth no one tells you. It doesn’t kill you directly — it triggers white blood cells to release IL-8 and MCP-1, causing inflammation, kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. Most doctors don’t even check it anymore, thinking there’s no fix. But there is. Whether from 17 genetic SNPs or 12 vitamin deficiencies (like B6 or B12), you can address it by supporting your body’s ability to convert homocysteine into glutathione.

PURSER WELLNESSIs there a way to relieve hypertension naturally?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Struggling with high blood pressure that just won’t budge—even with multiple meds? It might be due to genetic issues causing high homocysteine , which can stiffen your arteries through IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines.

PURSER WELLNESSRemove inflammation by combatting High HomocysteineA conversation with Dr. Purser

High homocysteine levels can lead to inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and even shifting pain throughout the body. It’s also linked to birth defects and chronic kidney failure, and can raise blood pressure. Six genetic SNPs (like MTR, MTRR, and CBS) and MTHFR mutations (like C677T) can prevent homocysteine from converting into glutathione, which is essential for keeping inflammation in check. Plus, 12 vitamin deficiencies may temporarily raise homocysteine levels, so addressing these deficiencies is key.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat is Glutathione?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Dr. Purser shares facts about glutathione. Learn about tripeptide amino acids. Discover information on glutathione from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Learn the definition of VARS (Validated, Absorbable, Reduced, and Stable) and why glutathione needs to have all these to work properly. Explore the antioxidant similarities of glutathione to Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) such as antiviral properties, blood vessel health, bone health, and support of hormone production. Learn how CD4 and CD8 T-killer white blood cells rely on glutathione to provide

Every woman with PCOS I’ve ever tested has a homocysteine problem... That’s what Dr. Dan Purser says — and it might explain why so many women with PCOS struggle with pain, inflammation, fatigue, and even kidney or blood pressure issues. Hom
