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.
Intracellular testing, or the CMA Cellular Micronutrient Assay, measures over 100 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants inside your cells—not just in your blood. Unlike serum tests, which show short-term levels, intracellular testing reveals what your cells have been missing over the last 100 days. Low levels can mean weak enzymes, non-functioning proteins, and accelerated aging. By identifying deficiencies and matching them with the correct nutrient forms for your genetics, you can target fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other chronic issues at the root. Get your CMA by calling o
Genetic SNPs are tiny changes in your DNA that can drastically affect how well your enzymes and proteins work. For example, being homozygous for MTHFR C677T leaves that enzyme functioning at only about 30% efficiency, which can drain your energy and impair folate processing. Similarly, errors in SOD genes reduce your body’s ability to neutralize free radicals. While we can’t change your genes, we can work around them by identifying these weaknesses and filling the gaps with targeted nutrition and supplementation—helping your body function closer to its full potential.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD)—your body’s first line of defense against DNA-damaging free radicals. SOD neutralizes superoxide radicals at the source of cellular energy production. But as we age—or if we have genetic SNPs—our ability to make SOD drops. That’s why we created VARS SOD, with over 10,000 IU per dose (most products have less than 240 IU). It’s a game changer for anti-aging, DNA protection, and reducing inflammation at the root.
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.
Tired, foggy, low hormones, and nothing helps? It’s probably not magic—it’s nutrient deficiency. Dr. Purser uses CMA with Redox testing to go deeper than your average doctor ever will. He sees severe lipoic acid, biotin, PQQ, and lithium deficiencies causing symptoms that mimic dementia, thyroid issues, or low testosterone. It’s not “manopause”—it’s vitaminopause. Find the root cause, don’t just chase prescriptions.
Struggling with inflammation, high cytokines, or conditions like psoriasis, kidney disease, or chronic fatigue? The root cause could be elevated interleukins like IL-8 and MCP-1, often triggered by high homocysteine levels. The most powerful natural solution we’ve found?
Did you know scurvy is still around today? It might sound like an old pirate disease, but a lack of Vitamin C can still cause fatigue, joint pain, bleeding gums, and slow healing. Without Vitamin C, your body can’t make collagen, which is essential for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
Dan Purser MD, renown for his work with MTHFR, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, fertility, hormone health, fibromyalgia, and SO MUCH MORE takes on the recent podcast interview of Gary Brecka from 10 Times Health System and Joe Rogan. Mr. Brecka is correct on so many points, but there is still SO MUCH MORE to dive into. The 5 genes he looks at are critical, but there are several to dozens more that need to be addressed. Once you look at genes, you must check out Intracellular Micronutrient Levels. This is THE ONLY way to get the full picture.
Fatigue is the #1 problem I deal with EVERY WEEK and EVERY DAY. So many patients come in with complaints of being exhausted ALL THE TIME. So, what is causing this MAJOR issue for so many people?
