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 sto

If iron transfusions and pills aren’t working, the problem might be B vitamin deficiencies. Without enough B vitamins (like choline, biotin, or folate) or vitamin C, your body can’t absorb iron properly. Fixing these first can often restore

🧠 “Is fibromyalgia just Wilson’s disease?” No—but it’s close. Wilson’s is extreme copper toxicity with liver failure and eye discoloration (Kayser-Fleischer rings). Fibro doesn’t go that far, but it’s often a milder copper regulation issue—

What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with thi

AUTSIM - What is a potential ROOT CAUSE of Autism? Can it be helped? What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. I

A post from Purser Wellness on Substack, covering genetics and methylation, inflammation and antioxidants.

Genetic SNPs are tiny changes in your DNA that can drastically affect how well your enzymes and proteins work. For example, being homozygous for MTHFR C677T leaves that enzyme functioning at only about 30% efficiency, which can drain your e

Many patients with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) are told it’s “just bad luck,” but often it’s linked to key nutrient deficiencies. Low levels of B12, folate, copper, and glutathione can impair blood vessel and nervous sy

Your genetic results might list “wild type,” “heterozygous,” or “homozygous,” but what does that mean? Wild type means both copies of your gene are normal, heterozygous means one is normal and one has a change, and homozygous means both cop

Why SNPs Matter for Your Health

Not all genetic tests are created equal. Many only scratch the surface, while the best panels look at hundreds of SNPs that impact methylation, detox, hormones, and nutrient absorption. For real results, you need a test that’s private, comp
