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.
Dr. Purser discusses where you can find resources to learn of treatments for interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder pain).

Dan Purser MD interviews a patient with a brutal sarcoidosis case involving sky-high SIL2R cytokines, GI sarcoid, heart damage, and years of being dismissed by doctors. After spleen removal, repeated ER visits, and nitroglycerin dependence, he finally found answers.
Learn how cytokine testing and the VARS Trio (Glutathione + SOD + Catalase) led to rapid improvement — going from bedridden fear to playing with grandkids in just weeks.
This episode highlights the power of root-cause medicine for complex inflammatory conditions and offers hope for those who feel lost in the system.
Perfect for listeners dealing with sarcoidosis, chronic inflammation, autoimmune issues, or cytokine-related symptoms.

Discover the power of the VARS Triad (also called the REDOX Triad)—Dr. Dan Purser MD’s groundbreaking, patented antioxidant protocol featuring VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD, and VARS Catalase. In this live session, Dr. Purser breaks down what VARS stands for (Validated, Absorbable, Reduced, Stable), how this physician-designed trio supports your body’s natural redox balance, quiets inflammation and cytokines at the root-cause level, and helps overcome genetic challenges like high homocysteine, oxidative stress, and related chronic issues. Perfect for anyone exploring advanced functional medicine and targeted supplementation.

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.
In this powerful live session, Dr. Dan Purser MD reveals why conventional pediatric medicine often falls short and shares his proven Purser Method® for helping children with autism spectrum traits, severe ADHD, chronic inflammation, and developmental delays.
Drawing from over 43 years of clinical experience, Dr. Purser explains:
Why genetic testing (especially MTHFR and related SNPs) is the essential first step
How to use targeted, active-form nutrients instead of generic vitamins
The role of leucovorin (high-dose folinic acid) and when it makes a real difference
Practical ways to reduce toxin load and calm the inflammatory response
Smart strategies around vaccination and detoxification support
Dr. Purser emphasizes that kids are not little adults — their developing systems need precise, individualized care. Parents and practitioners will walk away with actionable steps that address root causes rather than just managing symptoms.
Whether your child is struggling with speech delays, meltdowns, focus issues, or recurrent health problems, this episode offers real hope through biochemistry done right.
