Is a Vitamin Deficiency the Root Cause of Your Problems?

Feb 27

I have several #1 books on Amazon™ bringing new patients into my practice as I use a step-wise approach. What do I mean by ‘step-wise’? I recently attended an education conference on testosterone pellets and their surgical placement since we occasionally use them with certain patients.

This conference was interesting because vendors were selling pellets from various pharmacies and to them everyone needed pellets. After a while I just started to chuckle and tell my partner, Dr. Kimball Crofts, that when you’re selling hammers, everything’s a nail.

The How to cross a river test

I once took a test on intelligence and they asked us to come up with ways to cross a river. I came up with 54. The average person came up with 14. For some reason I had the highest number – which surprised me. The professor explained that is showed brain flexibility and intelligence.

But now I watch my fellow physician’s thought processes becoming seemingly calcified and robotic. Honestly, they are as smart as me, if not smarter, but they are so swamped and overwhelmed they don’t have the luxury of time and patience that I do to look for root causes. I can, and do, take hours to look at each patient and consider what’s really happening with each patient.

In addition to more time, I am not at the mercy of insurance company rules and policies. The constraints of my Utah medical license and my own internal ethics control what I do (and my patient’s willingness to spend on tests) allow me to dig a little deeper.

How do men find a vitamin deficiency

I love looking at SpectraCell™ Comprehensive Nutritional panels to gather more data – to tell me if a vitamin deficiency can be a root cause. Numerous men come in with low testosterone and I ask them, “Why do you have low testosterone?”

They always look surprised, then I see a light dawn in their eyes. No one’s tried to figure this out or asked this question of them or for them before. Generally, I take a one- or two-hour long history, then check labs.

If a clear cause for their low testosterone (Hypogonadism) does not become apparent from their lab results or history, I suggest a SpectraCell™ Nutritional panel. It is not cheap and takes 3-4 weeks to get results back, but it is well worth it.

A number of young men with terrible SpectraCell™ results (significant vitamin deficiencies) came into my practice. The vitamin deficiencies ended up being the cause of their low testosterone. I took them off of their testosterone injections and their levels recovered naturally.

I see this with really bad osteoporosis cases (both male and female), too. If this isn’t dealt with appropriately, their osteoporosis will never go away. Patients think this is miraculous because usually a lot of doctors have tried to help them to no avail.

If in doubt, order a SpectraCell™ Comprehensive Nutritional panel as it could answer your questions.

Dan Purser MD

Dr. Purser was from the graduating class of 1981, Brigham Young University. Dr. Purser graduated from “Old Miss” (the University of Mississippi, School of Medicine) where he completed medical school near the top of his class.

Dr. Purser began with a practice in family medicine with an emphasis on geriatrics during the 1980’s. In the late 1990’s, coupled with his prior education and vast experience with aging patients, Dr. Purser continued with in depth medical studies and interests in neurological studies, with an emphasis in pituitary dysfunction, as well as intensive preventive care of the body, and how these inter-relate. With Dr. Purser’s vastly accumulated experience, he’s enjoyed tremendous success with his patients in both his preventive medicine and traumatic brain injury practices since the late 1990’s. Currently his “day job” involves work in a plastic surgery group where he deals with complex wound healing issues. He also consults for, and designs products that you can feel working for a number of nutraceutical companies.

These intense studies and long standing experience in the medical profession have led Dr. Purser to be a very unique contributor to an outstanding textbook for physicians “Program 120: A Physician’s Handbook on Proactive Preventive Medicine”. This text is used as his curriculum in educating fellow physicians throughout the United States and abroad. Dr. Purser’s current writings include a book directly addressing the pituitary endocrinology issues of Fibromyalgia. Dr. Purser is a long standing Utah Medical Association delegate with honors, certificates and outstanding achievements from the American Medical Association and has been the Utah County representative for physicians practicing there to the Utah Medical Association the last several years. Also Dr. Purser is involved in ongoing research in cardiology, pituitary endocrinology, and pharmacology with a team in the Los Angeles area.
