THE TEACHING CONNECTION

Supporting immune-cell survival

Supporting immune-cell survival

IL15 encodes a cytokine involved in the survival and activity of immune cells, including natural killer cells and memory CD8 T cells. Its receptor system includes IL15RA.

How Dr. Purser connects the pieces

Dr. Purser discusses IL-15 in relation to persistent autoimmune activity and memory T-cell survival. This is a biological framework for understanding an established immune condition, not proof that long-lasting symptoms are caused by excess IL-15.

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.
