What is Intracellular Testing?
Intracellular testing, or the CMA Cellular Micronutrient Assay, measures over 100 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants inside your cells—not just in your blood. Unlike serum tests, which show short-term levels, intracellular testing reveals what your cells have been missing over the last 100 days. Low levels can mean weak enzymes, non-functioning proteins, and accelerated aging. By identifying deficiencies and matching them with the correct nutrient forms for your genetics, you can target fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other chronic issues at the root. Get your CMA by calling o
How To Know If You Have High Homocysteine?
High homocysteine often shows up first as widespread inflammation—pain all over, poor circulation, or even early warning signs of cardiovascular problems like stroke and heart attack. The best way to know for sure is through testing: a blood test can measure homocysteine directly, while a CMA with Redox uncovers the vitamin deficiencies driving it. For genetic causes, the DRP Genetics panel screens 15–16 of the 17 known SNPs that can cause permanently high homocysteine. If your levels are fixed by genetics, reduced glutathione and targeted B vitamins (like MTHFR Daily) are key to balancing the
#1 Doc Speaks on Leucovorin and Autism
Dr. Purser explains how certain environmental chemicals can trigger major inflammatory events in infants and young children—events that may contribute to autism in some cases.
Glutathione and Your Ability To Detox?
Your body’s ability to detox depends on one critical pathway—turning homocysteine into glutathione. But for millions with MTHFR or other genetic SNPs, this process is broken, leaving them vulnerable to toxins, inflammation, and cytokine storms. That’s why VARS Glutathione is such a breakthrough: it’s reduced, functional, and proven to lower harmful cytokines like IL-8 and MCP-1, giving your body the detox power it needs. After 15 years of research and real patient results, it’s the only oral glutathione that actually works where it matters—inside your cells.
AUTSIM - What is a potential ROOT CAUSE of Autism? Can it be helped?
What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with this pathway.
What Happens If You Have A Gene SNP?
Genetic SNPs are tiny changes in your DNA that can drastically affect how well your enzymes and proteins work. For example, being homozygous for MTHFR C677T leaves that enzyme functioning at only about 30% efficiency, which can drain your energy and impair folate processing. Similarly, errors in SOD genes reduce your body’s ability to neutralize free radicals. While we can’t change your genes, we can work around them by identifying these weaknesses and filling the gaps with targeted nutrition and supplementation—helping your body function closer to its full potential.
What is the BEST Genetic Test To Get??
Not all genetic tests are created equal. Many only scratch the surface, while the best panels look at hundreds of SNPs that impact methylation, detox, hormones, and nutrient absorption. For real results, you need a test that’s private, comprehensive, and clinically useful—like the ones we recommend in practice that help guide targeted treatment plans.
Gene Types Explained
Your genetic results might list “wild type,” “heterozygous,” or “homozygous,” but what does that mean? Wild type means both copies of your gene are normal, heterozygous means one is normal and one has a change, and homozygous means both copies have the same change. With genes like MTHFR, these variations can affect how efficiently your body processes nutrients like folate—sometimes cutting function by 40–70%—which is why targeted nutrition and testing matter.
What Makes A Functional Glutathione?
Most glutathione supplements fail because they break down before your body can use them. VARS Glutathione is different—it’s patented, validated, and proven to raise real intracellular glutathione levels. That means it actually works to calm inflammation, lower cytokines, and protect your cells where it matters most.
The Real Problem With CT Scans?
While CT scans are sometimes necessary, the radiation exposure they create can cause oxidative damage in the body. That’s why antioxidants like glutathione are so important—when taken in a validated, reduced form, they help detox and protect against the harmful effects of scans, heavy metals, and chemicals like gadolinium. Dr. Purser’s VARS Glutathione and Nayan Patel’s topical Glutaryl formulas are the only patented, validated glutathiones proven to actually work at this level, helping patients recover quickly from oxidative stress.
Be Wary Of Glutathione Product Claims!
Many skincare and supplement companies throw around the word “glutathione,” but most of their products don’t actually deliver meaningful amounts—or the right form. For example, a popular serum claims anywhere from 50,000 ppm to just 500 ppm glutathione, which would equal almost nothing per bottle. On top of that, most products use oxidized glutathione, which doesn’t work in the body. That’s what makes VARS Glutathione different—it stays in its reduced, functional form all the way until your cells use it, giving you a real therapeutic dose that actually works.
DRP Genetics Testing Update
The new DRP Genetics test, designed by Dr. Purser in collaboration with MaxGen, makes genetic testing simple and precise. Each kit comes pre-filled with everything you need—just swab your cheek, place it in the vial, and send it back the same day using the prepaid mailer. This curated panel focuses on key SNPs Dr. Purser selected after years of research, giving patients clearer answers and actionable insights into their health.
