THE TEACHING CONNECTION
A shared component of two cytokines
A shared component of two cytokines
IL12B encodes the p40 subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23. This makes it an intersection between immune pathways rather than a stand-alone measure of one cytokine.
How Dr. Purser connects the pieces
Dr. Purser groups IL12B with pro-inflammatory immune activation. IL-12 is associated with interferon-gamma responses, while IL-23 supports Th17-related responses. Understanding the shared subunit helps distinguish IL12B from IL23A, which supplies the p19 component of IL-23.
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.
