PURSER WELLNESSGlutathione and Your Ability To Detox?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Your body’s ability to detox depends on one critical pathway—turning homocysteine into glutathione. But for millions with MTHFR or other genetic SNPs, this process is broken, leaving them vulnerable to toxins, inflammation, and cytokine storms. That’s why VARS Glutathione is such a breakthrough: it’s reduced, functional, and proven to lower harmful cytokines like IL-8 and MCP-1, giving your body the detox power it needs. After 15 years of research and real patient results, it’s the only oral glutathione that actually works where it matters—inside your cells.

CCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive.

Good questions deserve a deeper conversation. Purser Wellness Explore is a new space to follow yours - videos, articles, and guided journeys with me. Start with MTHFR, cytokines, homocysteine, gut health… or whatever thread you’re holding
