Gene Types Explained

In the description

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 copies have the same change. With genes like MTHFR, these variations can affect how efficiently your body processes nutrients like folate—sometimes cutting function by 40–70%—which is why targeted nutrition and testing matter.

Ge Gene SNPs Cause Vitamin Deficiencies?

In the description

Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs Info: http://www.DanPurserMD.com Supplements: https://www.PhysicianDesigned.com Books: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00BIKSGVQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danpursermd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhysicianDesigned Twitter: https://twitter.com/realdanpursermd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/danpursermd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danpurser.md Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/danpursermd

What To Do For Iron Deficiency?

In the description

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 iron levels within a few months.

Treating Homocysteine May Treat The WORLD!

In the description

Doctors have spent decades trying to lower homocysteine with B6, B12, folate, or $12,000/month injections. But it’s not the homocysteine doing the damage—it’s the IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines it releases. That’s where glutathione (especially VARS or Glutaryl) changes the game. We’ve seen cytokine levels drop to zero—and symptoms vanish.
