TITLE: “The Deanna Protocol®: Hope For ALS and other Neurological Conditions”
http://winningthefight.org/
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which is referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease is a disorder that affects the function of nerves and muscles. According to the ALS Association, a little over 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. (That’s 15 new cases a day) and it is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time.
The authors of The Deanna Protocol® for ALS are in a life and death struggle against this terrible disease. Written by Dr. Vincent Tedone, who developed the Deanna Protocol® for ALS, and his two daughters Deanna Tedone-Gage and Chiara Tedone, the book contains two sections that explore very different aspects of the Deanna Protocol®.
One section follows Dr. Tedone, Deanna, and their family on an emotional journey as they cope with Deanna’s life changing ALS diagnosis and their search for a cure for ALS. They discover that no cure for ALS exists and develop the Deanna Protocol®, a metabolic program that saved Deanna’s life.
The Deanna Protocol® is not an ALS treatment or ALS cure but rather a metabolic program responsible for keeping Deanna alive! The other section provides detailed scientific information on how Dr. Tedone searched for an ALS treatment or ALS therapy which led him to develop the Deanna Protocol® that exists today.
