Dr. Purser discusses interleukins and oxidative stress in cystic fibrosis lung disease.

If you’ve been struggling with severe chronic fatigue, unexplained anxiety, or cardiovascular red flags, your genes might be trying to tell you something. Millions of patients walk out of traditional clinics with normal blood tests, only to be told their crippling symptoms are "all in their head." If you carry the C677T variant, you aren't crazy—you are dealing with a breakdown in cellular biochemistry. The Problem With Synthetic Folic Acid The standard advice from standard doctors is to take synthetic folic acid. For someone with the C677T genetic mutation, this is disastrous. Your enzyme pat

PSEN1 encodes a presenilin protein that participates in gamma-secretase, a protein-processing complex. Some pathogenic variants can cause familial Alzheimer’s disease; a listed common marker is not equivalent to that diagnosis.

PSEN2 encodes a presenilin protein that participates in gamma-secretase, a protein-processing complex. Some pathogenic variants can cause familial Alzheimer’s disease; a listed common marker is not equivalent to that diagnosis.

F9 encodes coagulation factor IX. Disease-causing variants can result in hemophilia B, an inherited bleeding disorder, but a panel marker is not equivalent to a confirmed disease-causing finding.

Could an overlooked lab marker be providing valuable insight into your health? Understanding your homocysteine level may help you and your healthcare provider identify opportunities to support cardiovascular health, healthy methylation, an

🌾 Why has gluten intolerance exploded since the 1970s? It’s not just the bread. In my latest blog I lay out the clear timeline: Roundup (glyphosate) was introduced in 1974… and the rise in celiac disease and gluten sensitivity has tracked

Lowering homocysteine isn’t just about taking a supplement and hoping for the best. What if the way it’s commonly “managed” is only scratching the surface—and missing the bigger picture entirely? From cardiovascular risk to neurological hea

The Hidden Driver of Chronic Disease

CRISPR 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!

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

Let’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.
