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!

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.
High 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
MTHFR is one of the most studied genetic SNPs, with the two main variants being C677T and A1298C. These changes reduce the body’s ability to process folate and make energy, leaving people exhausted and deficient in key nutrients. Specialized folates, B12 forms, and glutathione can bypass the blockages, and products like MTHFR Daily were designed specifically to fill these nutrient gaps so patients can restore energy and thrive.
High homocysteine often shows up first as widespread inflammation—pain all over, poor circulation, or even early warning signs of cardiovascular problems like stroke and heart attack. The best way to know for sure is through testing: a blood test can measure homocysteine directly, while a CMA with Redox uncovers the vitamin deficiencies driving it. For genetic causes, the DRP Genetics panel screens 15–16 of the 17 known SNPs that can cause permanently high homocysteine. If your levels are fixed by genetics, reduced glutathione and targeted B vitamins (like MTHFR Daily) are key to balancing the
What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with this pathway.
While CT scans are sometimes necessary, the radiation exposure they create can cause oxidative damage in the body. That’s why antioxidants like glutathione are so important—when taken in a validated, reduced form, they help detox and protect against the harmful effects of scans, heavy metals, and chemicals like gadolinium. Dr. Purser’s VARS Glutathione and Nayan Patel’s topical Glutaryl formulas are the only patented, validated glutathiones proven to actually work at this level, helping patients recover quickly from oxidative stress.
Just because you have EBV antibodies doesn’t mean it’s active—it usually means you’ve built immunity. The real issue? Most fibromyalgia patients have low reduced glutathione, which viruses like EBV intentionally suppress. That’s why symptoms overlap: fatigue, pain, immune dysfunction. Fix the glutathione issue, and you can support recovery on a deeper level.
High 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.
