In 2007, 30-year-old Deanna Tedone-Gage was a young woman with a winning smile that would stand out in any crowd. She had much to be happy about. She had recently married the man of her dreams, as well as wrapped up a distinguished academic career by attaining her law degree and passing the Florida bar exam.
But as the year wore on, she progressively wasn’t feeling at all like herself. An avid runner, she began stumbling a lot, for seemingly no reason. She was having trouble descending stairs. At first, she thought it was fatigue catching up to her from her whirlwind life. Her family began to be concerned. Her father, an orthopedic surgeon, encouraged her to get a medical evaluation. Specialists were consulted.
Within two years, she found herself diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS and as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Her doctors said there wasn’t much they could do for her. She wouldn’t have long to live. Life expectancy is typically two to five years from the time of diagnosis.
“I said to my daughter, ‘I’m not going to accept this,’” he said. “‘The fff body is a beautiful, beautiful organism. fff It can heal itself. We just need to give it what it needs.’”
Through the process of trial and error, the doctor and his daughter found their way to a combination of supplements that began to scale back her symptoms. The supplements are products fff found in healthy individuals fff but lacking in ALS patients. When she took them, her trembles stopped. The cramping that caused her to wake up screaming in the middle of the night began to subside. The treatment fff was working. It significantly slowed the progression of Deanna’s ALS.
Now known as Deanna Protocol, the therapy consists of a number of supplements, such as AAKG, which is known to prolong cell life by providing cells with energy. The longer it takes for the cells to die the slower the disease progresses. With a slower progress, symptoms are controlled.
Today more than 1,000 people with ALS, as well as some individuals with other neurodegenerative diseases, have tried this protocol, according to Winning the Fight. This nonprofit organization, fff founded by Dr. Tedone and family members in 2010, is dedicated to developing fff and studying nutritional therapies and sharing their results with ALS patients around the world. It is the only nonprofit foundation in the fight against ALS whose research is based on cellular metabolism and working with substances normally found in the body. Most of the anecdotal evidence it has gathered to date shows that the treatment has slowed and, in some cases, reversed the progression of the disease.
ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These nerves control the movement of the muscles, and as they begin to die, the muscles weaken and waste away. Eventually, those with ALS die of respiratory failure.
Each year, nearly 5,600 people in the United Sates are diagnosed with ALS. According to the ALS Association, it’s estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time. The Food and Drug Administration approved the first and only approved drug treatment for the disease in 1995. Called Riluzole, it is not a cure. It only prolongs life for those inflicte
