🧬 MTHFR Mutations, High Homocysteine & Autoimmune Disease: The Hidden Root Cause Most Doctors Miss For decades, patients with RA, lupus, MS, Hashimoto’s, and fibromyalgia chase symptom relief with meds that never fix the underlying fire. A

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.

Chronic inflammatory response syndrome, or CIRS, is a term used in some clinical discussions of persistent symptoms after environmental exposures.

ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor alpha, which helps cells respond to estrogen. Receptor signaling is different from the amount of estrogen measured in blood.

FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which helps cells take up folate and has an important role in folate transport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements.

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.
