PURSER WELLNESSWhy do I need methylated B Vitamins? From the reading room

Many vitamins and minerals go through the methylation cycle meaning a methyl group is added to a molecule to turn it into its active form. Individuals with MTHFR and other genetic methylation errors are unable to efficiently create the methylated versions of those certain vitamins and minerals. Those with MTHFR specifically cannot make enough 5-MTHF, an activated form of folate, which in turn prohibits the ability to methylate other vitamins. These errors can lead to a number of cellular deficiencies which can cause chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression (BASICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A SLUG) and

In this week's video I discuss a Meta - Analysis where I draw correlations between Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, other inflammatory bowel diseases and B12 / folate deficiencies. What is unclear, however, is which is causing which? Ta

YOU HAVE TO PUT ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER TO FIGURE SOME MEDICAL CONDITIONS OUT. MTHFR and other methylation issues (Google FOLR2 which is a common error in North Americans — it causes a lack of Type 2 folate receptors) can block INTRACELLUL

I think Wilson’s is just a more severe version of fibro. You need your Cu-Zn metallothionein to move copper out of your serum (painful) into your cells (where it belongs).

PURSER WELLNESSThyroid Pearls & TipsFrom the reading room

Wow I see all this almost every day in my office -- same exact thyroid related medical issues/complaints. After ten years of endocrinology research and 33 years in practice, I've concluded that a lot of my fellow doctors weren't really taught the nuances of thyroid care. Those include how patients need levels optimized, or how to really listen to patient's symptoms (and treat accordingly), and which labs to get at what time. So, I always tell patients to believe their ‘lying eyes’ (their symptoms are real), and not always the lab results (which can be inaccurate or not interpreted correctly).

PURSER WELLNESSLow Testosterone and Vitamin DeficienciesFrom the reading room

Men, want to know the #1 secret to good sex as we age? Nutrition consiting of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. This covers a lot of ground, but let’s shorten that distance. I see hundreds of men in my practice every year for Hypogonadism (medically low testosterone) with a serum total testosterone level below 400 ng/dl (very severe) creating severe fatigue. Hard to have sex, or even to consider performing, if you are exhausted! Assuming you have no trauma (pituitary, heart, testicles, or penis) and you are noticeably exhausted after sex, or too tired to get going, then it probably is your
