Dr. Purser explains the diagnosis and treatment of MTHFR (methylenteterahydrofolate reductase enzyme deficiency disease). Learn the genetic component of this illness (such as C677T or A1298C) and how it affects the body's inability of methylation to convert carbohydrates into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). Discover how the complex enzyme pathways of the Krebs cycle and citric acid cycle convert carbohydrate molecules into ATP molecules in the mitochondria. Explore the relationship of MTHFR to vitamin and hormone deficiencies while understanding how vitamin supplements can replace key missing (u
Scurvy may sound like a relic of the past, but this physician is still diagnosing it today. Nutrition gaps, restrictive diets, and heavily processed foods can leave people with bleeding gums, chronic fatigue, unexplained pain, bruising, and
Every woman with PCOS I’ve ever tested has a homocysteine problem...
That’s what Dr. Dan Purser says — and it might explain why so many women with PCOS struggle with pain, inflammation, fatigue, and even kidney or blood pressure issues.

Discover how a common genetic variant in the PEMT gene can block your body’s ability to make phosphatidylcholine — leading to chronic pancreatitis, even if you’ve never touched alcohol.
Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs

Genetic testing has only been around for about 20 years, since the Human Genome Project made it possible to identify thousands of SNPs (gene variations) linked to disease and health issues. While gene editing with tools like CRISPR may be a future reality, for now the best way to “work around” your genes is by supplementing with the right vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. That’s exactly what the DRP Genetics test does—focusing on SNPs like MTHFR, PEMT, and others tied to homocysteine, gut, and brain health—so you can take preventative steps against even serious conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s.

A low copper diet focuses on cutting back foods naturally high in copper—like nuts, seeds, chocolate, avocados, and shellfish—because too much copper can build up in the body when certain genes prevent proper regulation. For people with fibromyalgia, migraines, or chronic inflammation, reducing copper intake while supporting balance with nutrients like zinc, boron, molybdenum, and glutathione can make a dramatic difference in symptoms and overall health.

🧬 After 15+ years deep in genetics, Dr. Purser sees two root causes over and over again: 1️⃣ Inflammation 2️⃣ Gut & liver dysfunction. Almost every chronic issue—including fibromyalgia, fatigue, and brain fog—ties back to 17 homocysteine SNPs or PEMT mutations. That’s why he built treatment guides, books, and the CMA + Redox + genetic testing combo. If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still feel awful, this is where to look next.

🧬 After reviewing over 78,000 tests, Dr. Purser sees the same deficiencies over and over again—especially in fibro patients: Copper & zinc (often imbalanced): Glutathione, B6, B12 & folate, Glutamine, boron, molybdenum, And don’t forget magnesium—a major cause of leg cramps and muscle pain. If you’re dealing with fibro, fatigue, or chronic pain, this list is where to start. The good news? It’s all fixable.

🚨 High homocysteine isn’t just a lab number—it’s a warning sign.
Genes like MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, and GGH can overactivate the methylation cycle and lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, which drives inflammation, stroke risk, and even kidney failure.
