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.
High homocysteine? It’s not the number—it’s the cytokines it triggers (like IL-8) that cause strokes, kidney failure & inflammation. We found 17 gene SNPs + 12 vitamin deficiencies that drive it—and VARS Glutathione helps shut it down.
Struggling with inflammation, high cytokines, or conditions like psoriasis, kidney disease, or chronic fatigue? The root cause could be elevated interleukins like IL-8 and MCP-1, often triggered by high homocysteine levels. The most powerful natural solution we’ve found?
Did you know scurvy is still around today? It might sound like an old pirate disease, but a lack of Vitamin C can still cause fatigue, joint pain, bleeding gums, and slow healing. Without Vitamin C, your body can’t make collagen, which is essential for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues.

After using the same intracellular micronutrient panel for almost a decade, I have found a new favorite! This Cellular Micronutrient Assay by Cell Science Systems is a real beast of a test with 100 data points, faster turn around times, less sample failures, and for the icing on the cake!... It is more affordable! Watch this video to see me go over the results of one of these micronutrient assays and find out how a test like this might be able to help you!

Dan Purser md and Mike Clark phd In this video, Dr. Mike Clark and Dan Purser MD cover the genetic errors of two little boys. They discuss the potential inflammation, immune system functionality (or lack thereof), autism risks, vaccination & therapy options (all natural when possible), and stressors. Here is link to Genetics of One-Year-Old vs Autism PDF available for purchase. New Genetics Tests
In this Q&A session, Dr. Purser answers patients' questions about progesterone. Learn of the benefits of natural bioidentical progesterone and risks of synthetic substitutes. Explore how progesterone is related to premenopause, postmenopause, infertility, PMS, migraine headache, breast cancer risk, birth control, weight loss, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, lyme disease, inflammation, stroke, heart attack, and other medical conditions. Dr. Purser also dispels the myth of wild yams' rumored conversion to progesterone. Discover progesterone's role in conception and fertility. Contact us at
Dr. Purser explains the diagnosis and treatment of MTHFR (methylenteterahydrofolate reductase enzyme deficiency disease). Learn the genetic component of this illness (such as C677T or A1298C) and how it affects the body's inability of methylation to convert carbohydrates into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). Discover how the complex enzyme pathways of the Krebs cycle and citric acid cycle convert carbohydrate molecules into ATP molecules in the mitochondria. Explore the relationship of MTHFR to vitamin and hormone deficiencies while understanding how vitamin supplements can replace key missing (u
