IL4 encodes interleukin-4, a cytokine involved in Th2 immune responses and antibody class switching, including pathways related to IgE. It operates alongside IL-5 and IL-13 rather than representing all allergic biology by itself.

IL5 encodes interleukin-5, a cytokine important to eosinophil growth, survival and activation. Eosinophils are involved in selected allergic and other inflammatory conditions.

IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample.

Dr. Purser’s subscriber report on IL-5, cytokine genetics, and the topics discussed in his homozygous IL5 variant report.

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. #Sarcoidosis #Cytokines #VARS #PurserWellness #ChronicIllnessRecovery Follow Dr. Purser!

Dr. Dan Purser here with an important update from Purser Wellness. Earlier this week we were deplatformed on a major platform right after discussing groundbreaking findings from our homocysteine research — particularly its connections to ASD, ADHD, cytokine issues, and inflammatory conditions like polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Despite losing access to our old page (and nearly 200,000 followers), we’re back stronger with a brand new official page! ✅ Follow our new official Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/purserwellness We’re keeping things focused and continuing our important work on root-cause wellness, intracellular nutrient deficiencies, genetics, glutathione/SOD balance, and more. ### Where to Stay Connected: - Substack (Daily research articles & in-depth content): https://substack.com/PurserWellness or https://danpursermd.substack.com - YouTube – Live streams and full recordings will continue here (plus TikTok, Instagram, and podcast platforms) Dr. Purser’s message is clear: We will not stop the research. “I’ll quit when I die… and maybe not even then.” If you’ve been following our work on homocysteine, MTHFR, cytokine problems, hormone optimization, and functional medicine protocols, please: - Like and follow the new Facebook page - Subscribe to Substack - Share this video with friends and patients who need this information Thank you for your incredible support during this transition.

A sudden spike in folate or homocysteine is rarely caused by supplements. It is most often the result of a hidden infection or minor injury triggering a cytokine surge. Identifying and treating the underlying source is the key to bringing l

Homocysteine is a natural molecule your body makes, but when levels get too high it drives massive inflammation by triggering cytokine release. For some people, genetics or deficiencies cause a “fixed homocysteine rate,” meaning diet and vitamins alone won’t lower it. In those cases, the only real way to balance it is by supporting the pathway that converts homocysteine into glutathione. That’s why reduced, stable glutathione—like VARS Glutathione—is essential, because most products are oxidized and useless by the time you take them.

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 sto

VARS Glutathione works at the cellular level to calm inflammation by lowering cytokine activity. Cytokines are signaling molecules that, when overproduced, drive pain, fatigue, and chronic disease. By boosting your body’s master antioxidant—glutathione—VARS helps rebalance the immune system, reduce harmful cytokines, and protect your cells from oxidative stress.

Doctors have spent decades trying to lower homocysteine with B6, B12, folate, or $12,000/month injections. But it’s not the homocysteine doing the damage—it’s the IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines it releases. That’s where glutathione (especially VARS or Glutaryl) changes the game. We’ve seen cytokine levels drop to zero—and symptoms vanish.
