THE TEACHING CONNECTION
RANTES and immune-cell recruitment
RANTES and immune-cell recruitment
CCL5, also called RANTES, is a chemokine that helps direct immune-cell movement. Chemokines tell cells where to go, which is different from measuring the total strength of an immune response.
How Dr. Purser connects the pieces
Dr. Purser places CCL5 in chemokine-mediated inflammation and allergic contexts. Its relationship to CCL3 and CCL4 helps explain why several recruitment signals can overlap during an inflammatory episode. A CCL5 marker cannot identify the trigger on its own.
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.
