We share real-life stories of flares, recovery, and ongoing improvement using Dr. Purser’s protocol. From severe teenage fibromyalgia to thriving as grandmothers, we discuss how the VARS Trio (Glutathione, SOD, and the game-changing Catalase) helps manage inflammation, cytokines, and hydrogen peroxide — plus practical tips on low-copper diet, serving sizes, gym recovery, weight loss, and consistency over perfection.
Topics covered:
• How to handle fibro flares quickly (catalase + SOD stories)
• The importance of intracellular testing (CMA) & genetics
• Low-copper eating guidelines & why serving size matters
• Building strength and muscle after years of pain
• Why we keep improving year after year
🔥 June Special: $100 off Genetic Testing + CMA (deepest discount of the year). One lucky order will be fully reimbursed!

The sIL2R-Sarcoidosis Axis: A New Clinical Understanding
Some search terms matchedWhy elevated soluble IL-2 receptor levels drive chronic inflammation and pain in sarcoidosis — and what actually helps quiet the fire
GENETIC MUTATION DETECTION AND WHAT THAT MEANS for YOU
Some search terms matchedCRISPR is in the process of coming up with a treatment to change your genetic mutations. This could mean helping fix the mutations that put you at risk for Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, strokes, or Factor V Leiden. Stay on the look out for this very exciting new technology as it advances!
The Struggle of Homocysteine
Some search terms matchedHigh 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.
PEMT and connection to choline and glutathione!
Some search terms matchedOne 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.
Homocysteine is the Secret Assasin
Some search terms matchedHomocysteine 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.
Glutathione for Wound Healing? Yes!
Some search terms matchedLet’s talk about something uncomfortable but important—anal fissures, especially in people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. These painful tears can extend deep and cause debilitating discomfort. Historically, treatments haven’t worked well… until now.
PC can save your gut??
Some search terms matchedPhosphatidylcholine has emerged as a groundbreaking therapeutic agent in managing inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Scientific studies over the past decade, including major publications like Annals of Internal Medicine and Digital Digest, have consistently highlighted its efficacy and safety.
How to Keep Healthy Vitamin C Levels
Some search terms matchedDid you know scurvy is still around today? It might sound like an old pirate disease, but a lack of Vitamin C can still cause fatigue, joint pain, bleeding gums, and slow healing. Without Vitamin C, your body can’t make collagen, which is essential for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
Heal the Gut by Addressing One Genetic Error?
Some search terms matchedCrohn’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.
Doctor Reacts to Gary Brecka om Joe Rogan - MTHFR and MORE!
Some search terms matchedDan Purser MD, renown for his work with MTHFR, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, fertility, hormone health, fibromyalgia, and SO MUCH MORE takes on the recent podcast interview of Gary Brecka from 10 Times Health System and Joe Rogan. Mr. Brecka is correct on so many points, but there is still SO MUCH MORE to dive into. The 5 genes he looks at are critical, but there are several to dozens more that need to be addressed. Once you look at genes, you must check out Intracellular Micronutrient Levels. This is THE ONLY way to get the full picture.
