Let’s explore “Homocysteine, folate transport, and uric acid”

Explore the reduced folate carrier (RFC1), rs3788200, rs1051266, intracellular folate, homocysteine, and folinic acid and methylfolate.

Explore folate, vitamin B9, one-carbon metabolism, anemia, homocysteine, SLC19A1, and differences between folate forms and transport pathways.

A sudden spike in folate or homocysteine is rarely caused by supplements. It is most often the result of a hidden infection or minor injury triggering a cytokine surge. Identifying and treating the underlying source is the key to bringing l

Doctors have spent decades trying to lower homocysteine with B6, B12, folate, or $12,000/month injections. But it’s not the homocysteine doing the damage—it’s the IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines it releases. That’s where glutathione (especially VA

Explore why a low homocysteine number does not tell the whole nutrition story.

PURSER WELLNESSMTHFR Mutations, Elevated Homocysteine & Autoimmune Inflammation: The Hidden Root Cause Most Doctors Miss From 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. Rheumatoid arthritis flares, lupus rashes, multiple sclerosis relapses, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, fibromyalgia pain—these are not random. They share a common, often overlooked biochemical pathway: MTHFR mutations leading to elevated homocysteine that supercharges autoimmune inflammation . This is not fringe theory. It is the clinical reality I hav

Understand why homocysteine became a health topic and why lowering a blood number is not the same as preventing disease.

See the two main routes for processing homocysteine and what may affect a blood result.

Learn how to read a specific genetic variant before drawing conclusions about homocysteine.

Follow Dr. Purser’s discussion of folate metabolism and inflammation.

DHFR helps reduce folic acid and dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate-related forms used in cellular metabolism. This is one part of the folate system, distinct from MTHFR and folate transport into cells.

PURSER WELLNESSTreating Homocysteine May Treat The WORLD!A conversation with Dr. Purser

Doctors have spent decades trying to lower homocysteine with B6, B12, folate, or $12,000/month injections. But it’s not the homocysteine doing the damage—it’s the IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines it releases. That’s where glutathione (especially VARS or Glutaryl) changes the game. We’ve seen cytokine levels drop to zero—and symptoms vanish.
