Superoxide dismutase (SOD)—your body’s first line of defense against DNA-damaging free radicals. SOD neutralizes superoxide radicals at the source of cellular energy production. But as we age—or if we have genetic SNPs—our ability to make SOD drops. That’s why we created VARS SOD, with over 10,000 IU per dose (most products have less than 240 IU). It’s a game changer for anti-aging, DNA protection, and reducing inflammation at the root.

High homocysteine? It’s not the number—it’s the cytokines it triggers (like IL-8) that cause strokes, kidney failure & inflammation. We found 17 gene SNPs + 12 vitamin deficiencies that drive it—and VARS Glutathione helps shut it down.

One of the most powerful nutrients you’ve never heard of? Phosphatidylcholine. It builds the walls of your cells, protects your gut lining, supports nerve function, and even helps your body make bile. If you have a PEMT gene mutation, your body struggles to make it—and that means gut issues, nerve dysfunction, and chronic inflammation.

The real root of fibromyalgia? It’s not just pain — it’s copper. We’ve uncovered that fibromyalgia is often driven by genetic mutations (like CBS, GAD1, GAD2) that affect how your body handles copper. The copper builds up in your blood but never makes it into your cells — leading to widespread pain, inflammation, and migraines.

Homocysteine is nasty — but here’s the truth no one tells you. It doesn’t kill you directly — it triggers white blood cells to release IL-8 and MCP-1, causing inflammation, kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. Most doctors don’t even check it anymore, thinking there’s no fix. But there is. Whether from 17 genetic SNPs or 12 vitamin deficiencies (like B6 or B12), you can address it by supporting your body’s ability to convert homocysteine into glutathione.

This episode is special. Here we have 4 women discussing their journey of Thriving with Fibro while following the Purser Protocols for Fibromyalgia. Over the years, a community has grown and support each other.

Struggling with high blood pressure that just won’t budge—even with multiple meds? It might be due to genetic issues causing high homocysteine , which can stiffen your arteries through IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines.

Top genes to keep an eye out for - homocysteine related genes, PEMT, and VDR. GET THESE ALL IN CHECK! If they are out of whack you’re gonna have a lot of problems, but we can address them. Get genetic testing and and Intracellular nutrient test and we go from there. Reach to my practice to get going. You got this.

If you’ve got genetically high homocysteine, lowering it isn’t as simple as you think. But there’s a way to reduce the inflammation it causes!

Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: The Missing Link? Did you know there’s a genetic condition, PEMT, that may be a major factor in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis? If you have it, your body struggles to produce phosphatidylcholine, a critical compound for gut and liver health. Research shows supplementing with phosphatidylcholine and glutathione can make a huge difference in managing these conditions.

High homocysteine levels can lead to inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and even shifting pain throughout the body. It’s also linked to birth defects and chronic kidney failure, and can raise blood pressure. Six genetic SNPs (like MTR, MTRR, and CBS) and MTHFR mutations (like C677T) can prevent homocysteine from converting into glutathione, which is essential for keeping inflammation in check. Plus, 12 vitamin deficiencies may temporarily raise homocysteine levels, so addressing these deficiencies is key.

For those who think I’m “alternative” or “on the edge,” let me clarify: I’m a Western-trained physician focused on root causes. I dive into genetics and vitamin deficiencies because they are grounded in science. Using intracellular vitamin panels and the latest research, I identify deficiencies and address them with the right versions of supplements. I love what I do and am here to help! Read my reviews, and thank you for trusting me.
