Hi, I’m Dr. Dan Purser. For too long, autism has been treated as a mystery with only symptom management. In this episode, I break down what I’ve seen consistently in practice: the real root cause behind many cases on the spectrum. It starts with genetic variants (especially MTHFR and related SNPs) that break the transsulfuration pathway. When kids can’t efficiently convert homocysteine into glutathione, they lose their ability to detox heavy metals and environmental toxins. The result is chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and developmental challenges. The good news? Once we identify these biochemical and genetic imbalances through proper testing, we can intervene at the root with targeted support — restoring methylation, rebuilding glutathione function, and giving the body what it needs to heal. This isn’t theory. It’s the Purser Method® in action. If you’re a parent searching for real answers instead of just labels, this episode is for you. The root cause has been solved. Now let’s talk solutions.

What’s searchable?Why do some people in the same family get destroyed by black mold… while others are completely fine? Why do two kids develop autism while their siblings are completely normal? Dr. Dan Purser explains the hidden genetic issue behind both: a homocysteine problem that disrupts the transsulfuration pathway — the pathway responsible for making ~90% of your glutathione. Without enough glutathione, your body simply cannot clear toxins. Mold, heavy metals, environmental chemicals… they stay stuck. This is why some people get chronically ill and others don’t, even when living in the exact same house. In this episode we cover: How a genetic disruption in the transsulfuration pathway causes low glutathione Why most “glutathione” products on Amazon do nothing The only two patented forms that actually work Real cases of black mold toxicity and autism improvement Why checking genetics is more important than just checking a homocysteine level This is root-cause medicine — not symptom chasing.

In this Q&A session, Dr. Purser answers patients' questions about progesterone. Learn of the benefits of natural bioidentical progesterone and risks of synthetic substitutes. Explore how progesterone is related to premenopause, postmenopause, infertility, PMS, migraine headache, breast cancer risk, birth control, weight loss, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, lyme disease, inflammation, stroke, heart attack, and other medical conditions.

Read matching passageHigh homocysteine signals a broken transsulfuration pathway, leaving you unable to detox or convert it into glutathione. This shows up in conditions like PCOS and fibromyalgia, where patients often struggle with inflammation, pain, and even infertility. Genetics play a big role—there are 17 SNPs that can lock homocysteine in place—but vitamin deficiencies can make it worse. The real breakthrough isn’t lowering homocysteine itself but calming the cytokines it triggers, like IL-8 and MCP-1. That’s why VARS Glutathione, the only patented oral form proven to work, is so powerful—it lowers those cy
