THE TEACHING CONNECTION
MCP-1: recruiting monocytes
MCP-1: recruiting monocytes
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.
How Dr. Purser connects the pieces
Dr. Purser places MCP-1 in his vascular-inflammation teaching. The connection is to immune-cell traffic in vessel walls and other inflamed tissues, not a conclusion that an inherited marker proves active atherosclerosis. Compare the clinical picture with cardiovascular risk factors and any measured inflammatory findings.
Where the VARS Triad and MTHFR Daily fit
In Dr. Purser’s treatment framework, the VARS Triad—VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD and VARS Catalase—together with MTHFR Daily is a central consideration when homocysteine or cytokine issues are involved. He emphasizes VARS Glutathione as a foundational functional-support component across his genetic SNP teaching. The individual gene lesson explains how its pathway connects to that broader approach.
This describes the Purser treatment model, not proof that a product corrects a variant or treats every associated condition. Product choice, formulation, sequence and amount depend on the individual assessment, existing medicines, current findings and tolerance.
