Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: The Missing Link? Did you know there’s a genetic condition, PEMT, that may be a major factor in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis? If you have it, your body struggles to produce phosphatidylcholine, a critical compound for gut and liver health. Research shows supplementing with phosphatidylcholine and glutathione can make a huge difference in managing these conditions.
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.
For those who think I’m “alternative” or “on the edge,” let me clarify: I’m a Western-trained physician focused on root causes. I dive into genetics and vitamin deficiencies because they are grounded in science. Using intracellular vitamin panels and the latest research, I identify deficiencies and address them with the right versions of supplements. I love what I do and am here to help! Read my reviews, and thank you for trusting me.
Dan Purser MD, renown for his work with MTHFR, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, fertility, hormone health, fibromyalgia, and SO MUCH MORE takes on the recent podcast interview of Gary Brecka from 10 Times Health System and Joe Rogan. Mr. Brecka is correct on so many points, but there is still SO MUCH MORE to dive into. The 5 genes he looks at are critical, but there are several to dozens more that need to be addressed. Once you look at genes, you must check out Intracellular Micronutrient Levels. This is THE ONLY way to get the full picture.
What is interstitial cystitis or IC? It is a chronic bladder syndrome that causes immense amounts of pain. In this episode, Dr. Purser talks about new urinary genetics testing for bacteria (Polymerase Chain Reaction or PCR), new pain options, and a diet that actually work for interstitial cystitis.

For 35 years now, I deal with root cause illnesses all day, every day. After advising several hundred patients with IC, I believe there is no way to cure it — mainly because it is mostly genetic in root cause. But there are a lot of things you can do to live more healthy lifestyle and have very few, if any symptoms (significantly fewer). Here are 10+ ideas for you to improve your quality of life while living with interstitial cystitis. Contact us at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com for help.

Dr. Purser talks about a meta-analysis where correlations are drawn between Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and B12 folate deficiencies. However, it is unclear how each are directly related. PubMed Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28406440/ Contact us at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com for help.

Dr. Purser dives into the root causes of low testosterone in men. As always, "Good nutrition in, means good hormones out." Could low testosterone levels be linked to severe vitamin deficiencies caused by genetic errors such as MTHFR? Dr. Purser has found this to be the case for many of his patients. Find out how you can start feeling great today! Testing discussed: SpectraCell Intracellular Micronutrient Panel, Pro7 Genetic Testing, and Direct Labs Free and Total Testosterone Levels.

This week Dr. Purser covers his protocol of diagnosing and treating MTHFR along with the many other diseases affected or caused by these genetic errors. Dr. Purser recommends starting with genetic testing (DanPurserMD.com/genetics-testing), taking MTHFR Support supplements (PhysicianDesigned.com), and scheduling an appointment to meet one-on-one (DanPurserMD.com/schedule-appointment).
