CMA testing shows the vitamin deficiencies happening inside your cells, while genetic testing reveals why they’re happening in the first place. Patients often find their symptoms match exactly what the CMA shows, and when paired with genetic results, the root causes become clear.

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

For women who can’t take bioidentical hormones, essential oil–based options like Clary Sage, Progessence Plus, and PD 80/20 offer natural support. These were designed and tested with hormone balance in mind and can help ease the symptoms of low estrogen and progesterone.

PQQ is a powerful nutrient that doesn’t just boost energy—it actually creates new mitochondria, helping cells regenerate and fight aging. It also helps break down beta amyloid plaque, the sticky protein linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s. That’s why it’s a star ingredient in

Homocysteine is a natural molecule your body makes, but when levels get too high it drives massive inflammation by triggering cytokine release. For some people, genetics or deficiencies cause a “fixed homocysteine rate,” meaning diet and vitamins alone won’t lower it. In those

What Does Leucovorin Really Do for Children with Autism? Dr. Purser explains how certain environmental chemicals can trigger major inflammatory events in infants and young children—events that may contribute to autism in some cases. Leucovorin is simply high-dose folinic acid,

For women in menopause, optimal hormone levels are higher than most guidelines suggest: testosterone above 50, estradiol above 40, and progesterone above 10 (ideally near 20). These levels better support bone, heart, and brain health in later years.

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

TMG (trimethylglycine) can sometimes lower homocysteine—but only if it’s not caused by genetics. When homocysteine is high from genetic SNPs, TMG won’t fix it, and restrictive “low-methionine diets” are both harmful and outdated. The real solution lies in addressing deficiencies

After menopause, a drop in testosterone—not just estrogen—causes vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. While estradiol creams are commonly prescribed, testosterone cream often provides more effective relief.

Your body’s ability to detox depends on one critical pathway—turning homocysteine into glutathione. But for millions with MTHFR or other genetic SNPs, this process is broken, leaving them vulnerable to toxins, inflammation, and cytokine storms. That’s why VARS Glutathione is such

If a young woman in her 20s or 30s stops menstruating, it’s rarely true menopause—it’s usually due to pituitary damage or vitamin deficiencies. True menopause timing is best predicted by when her mother or sisters experienced it.

If iron transfusions and pills aren’t working, the problem might be B vitamin deficiencies. Without enough B vitamins (like choline, biotin, or folate) or vitamin C, your body can’t absorb iron properly. Fixing these first can often restore iron levels within a few months.

🧠 “Is fibromyalgia just Wilson’s disease?” No—but it’s close. Wilson’s is extreme copper toxicity with liver failure and eye discoloration (Kayser-Fleischer rings). Fibro doesn’t go that far, but it’s often a milder copper regulation issue—genetically rooted and still painful.

AUTSIM - What is a potential ROOT CAUSE of Autism? Can it be helped? What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs,

The right amount of natural progesterone varies by individual—some women need high doses to fully stop hot flashes, especially those with endometriosis or receptor issues. DHEA deficiency can also play a role in persistent symptoms

Kids with cystic fibrosis often have high levels of inflammatory cytokines like IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, and IL-13, which damage the lungs. Research shows raising glutathione can lower these cytokines, yet most products don’t work. VARS Glutathione is a patented, functional form proven

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.
