The Overlooked Link Between MTHFR Mutations, Hyperhomocysteinemia, PCOS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Inflammation, and Renal Decline — and Why Precision Genetic Testing May Be the Missing Step

Dr. Purser shares his clinical perspective on homocysteine, methylation, and inflammatory patterns.

…age. Instead, it acts as a marker of cytokine sensitivity . Cytokines are inflammatory signaling molecules released by immune cells. When homocysteine rises, it can trigger immune cells—especially monocytes and endothelial cells—to release …

…xidant network. Monocytes are immune cells that can release cytokines when they receive stress or danger signals. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses reactive oxygen species, NF-κB, NLRP3, and the cytokines IL-8/CXCL8 and CCL2/MCP-1. H…

…ollow the pathway Dr. Purser connects immune-cell activity, cytokines, and oxidative stress with gland inflammation. His teaching distinguishes symptom relief for dryness from a discussion of systemic immune activity. Bring these questions…

…r discusses type I interferons, BAFF/BLyS, IL-17, and other cytokines in lupus. He connects these pathways with targeted therapies such as interferon-receptor and B-cell signaling treatments, while separately considering oxidative stress an…

…46312, and rs165722. He connects COMT with stress response, pain sensitivity, sleep, and estrogen processing. Linked groups of variants are called haplotypes; a label such as “slow COMT” is a simplification, not a psychiatric diagnosis. Br…

…h as IL-8, CCL2/MCP-1, and CCL4 with Th1/Th17 signaling and cytokines including TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1 beta. He discusses the interaction of immune-cell recruitment and tissue injury. Bring these questions to your visit Ask which organs…

…Purser explores immune signaling, including IL-17 and other cytokines, in the ovarian environment. These are possible research connections rather than proof that one cytokine explains an individual’s ovarian function. Bring these questions…

…ad and MTHFR Daily fit If you are exploring homocysteine or cytokines, Dr. Purser may discuss MTHFR Daily and the VARS Triad: VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD, and VARS Catalase. He gives glutathione a central place in his approach to antioxidant…

…ting the pieces together The combined review asks about gallbladder history, tolerance of fatty meals, stool changes and current nutrient findings. Choline, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine should not be treated as the same ingred…
