PURSER WELLNESSMTHFR Mutations, Elevated Homocysteine & Autoimmune Inflammation: The Hidden Root Cause Most Doctors MissFrom the reading room

— A Guide by the World’s Leading Homocysteine Expert For more than four decades as a practicing physician, I have watched thousands of patients cycle through conventional autoimmune treatments that address symptoms but never touch the fire underneath.

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
