What's the most surprising thing you've learned over the years doing this testing? Uh yeah, it's really going to surprise you. It's u it's fibromyalgia. Uh your mom has it as you know. Yep. Um and she tells everyone who calls in that has it that she commiserate with them. She has no symptoms of it anymore. Uh

0:17

because we've done so much intracellular testing on her. What I always see almost always see with fibro cases are they have really low intracellular or malibdinum boron glutathione levels and even copper levels even though fibromyalgia I believe is a copper

0:32

overload or copper toxicity issue that if they have a low intraator level it's because it's really not a so much a copper overload issue as it is a ceruallopplasmine or metallathionine issue. um sulopplasma and moves 95% of

0:47

your copper around in your body. It also blocks its absorption uh from the gut. It also does um also um dumps off excess copper into your into your liver, your bile to go out through through your your colon or out through your kidneys and

1:05

bladder dumps them off at your kidneys. So um malnum and boron are critical and as is glutathione critical to the function of that cerillopplasmine. So we went right after that when we started to figure that out. Nature pests have figured this out years ago that giving me malignum would lower copper level

1:22

improve. Well, I don't know if they knew that, but I think some of them did. They're smart people. Um, and they had figured out that it it helped resolve fibromyalgia symptoms. Malibdum won't always do it, but it does it a lot. I use a keyed chilated malibdum off

1:38

Amazon. So um but we also have it in our copper balance which we have a patent on because of what we did our work improved it to the PS patent office but that was designed more for a cerebral plasma fun um I mean metaling function and not for cerebral plasma function so but it's a

1:53

dysfunctional cer plasmine and maybe partially metaling that's really causing this from genetic snips that too CBS are the reasons those are the genes you also you're also going to have a messagion problems and you're going to have some significant methylation snips. See that

What is VARS? Super Antioxidant Protection?

🔬 What is VARS? Why the VARS Trio (Glutathione + SOD + Catalase) is a game-changer for inflammation, recovery & fibromyalgia. Jackson Larkin sits down with Lois Schweiger to break down Dr. Dan Purser MD’s VARS line — Validated, Absorbable, Reduced, and Stable antioxidants. Learn the science behind VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD (from deep-sea algae near volcanic vents), and the newest VARS Catalase (Nrf2 activator from seaweed). Discover: • How the VARS Triad works together in the mitochondria to fight oxidative stress and cytokines • Why Catalase dramatically improved post-workout recovery (especially leg day!) • Genetics, homocysteine, PEMT, and why many with fibro benefit from this protocol • The importance of CMA (intracellular) testing and when to retest • Real patient results, including severe inflammation cases Perfect for anyone dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, slow recovery, or looking for root-cause support. **June Anniversary Special**: $100 off Genetic + CMA testing — one order will be fully reimbursed! 👉 Learn more & shop VARS supplements: danpursermd.com #VARSGlutathione #Fibromyalgia #Antioxidants #ChronicInflammation #PurserWellness #Catalase #SOD Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & What Does VARS Mean? 01:45 The Science of the VARS Triad 12:00 Who Needs the Trio? 14:00 Catalase & Workout Recovery Stories 20:00 Genetics, Homocysteine & Testing Follow Dr. Purser!
