PURSER WELLNESSLotus Life - Melissa SoriaA conversation with Dr. Purser

Aloha cherished Friends & Guests! My name is Melissa, and I am excited to share a little of my story and how Dr. Purser’s passion for preventative care continues to improve my overall life and well being! I am a 33-year-old (Island girl at heart) living in the city. My loves include family, Leilani (my corgi/lab puppy), and the beach!

PURSER WELLNESSKey Probiotics ReviewsFrom the reading room

Life Extension® Florassist™ Throat Health Every once in a while I run across a product that just makes me go, “Why didn’t I think of that?” This is one of those products. With over 200 products in development or in manufacturing this year, we’re certainly always looking for more and better. This is certainly an innovative hot idea.

PURSER WELLNESSLow Testosterone and Vitamin DeficienciesFrom the reading room

Men, want to know the #1 secret to good sex as we age? Nutrition consiting of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. This covers a lot of ground, but let’s shorten that distance. I see hundreds of men in my practice every year for Hypogonadism (medically low testosterone) with a serum total testosterone level below 400 ng/dl (very severe) creating severe fatigue. Hard to have sex, or even to consider performing, if you are exhausted! Assuming you have no trauma (pituitary, heart, testicles, or penis) and you are noticeably exhausted after sex, or too tired to get going, then it probably is your

PURSER WELLNESSThe Only Usable Form of Glutathione Is Reduced Glutathione (GSH)!From the reading room

This will be the first of many articles on glutathione, especially the reduced glutathione form known as GSH – the ideal glutathione or GSH product is reduced (GSH), stable, absorbable, efficacious, and patent-able. Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant. Our bodies depend on GSH for the removal of toxins and GSH is at the heart of all immune functions. Glutathione is a tripeptide (L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and Glycine) that is known as the most prominent nonenzymatic antioxidant in the human body, and is a substrate of a regulatory system of enzymes involved in regulating glutathione

PURSER WELLNESSGENOVA™ Neopterin Biopterin Urine Profile for MTHFRFrom the reading room

This test result is bad and could indicate an infection, especially viral. This is a great test for those with A1298C and especially who are Homozygous A1298C. Neopterin is bad while biopterin is good. If neopterin is repeatedly high, the BH4 is low. Neopterin is a sensitive marker of cellular mediated immunity. Reduced levels reflect cellular immunity weakening. Increased neopterin occur with infectious, inflammatory, immune system dysfunction or neoplastic disease evolution. Excessive neopterin negatively impacts the Nitric Oxide pathway in the body (e.g. excessive peroxynitrite formation an
