Winning the Fight Against ALS-Part 1

EPISODE TITLE: Winning the Fight Against ALS-Part 1 (with Deanna Tedone and Dr. Vincent Tedone) 

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified, Doro and Deb talk about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or, Lou Gehrig’s Disease with Dr. Tedone, the founder of the Deanna Protocol and his daughter, Deanna, who was diagnosed with ALS 13 years ago. 

In this podcast, Dr. Vincent Tedone and Deanna Tedone discuss:

• The development of the Deanna Protocol
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone describes his research and the development of the Deanna Protocol, which includes AKG and GABA.
  • Deanna experienced significant improvements in muscle symptoms and functional abilities after receiving the AKG and GABA combination.
  • The Deanna Protocol was tested on ALS mice, showing suppressed muscle symptoms, slowed disease progression, and increased energy production.The findings were documented in a paper and a book, "The Deanna Protocol: Winning the Fight for Neurodegenerative Diseases."
• Discovery of Borrelia Infection
  • In 2015, Deanna was tested for a Borrelia infection, which was positive, despite previous negative results from commercial laboratories.
  • Deanna developed severe meningitis, and Dr. Vincent Tedone convinced the infectious disease doctor to treat her with IV antibiotics.
  • The IV antibiotics successfully treated Deanna's pain, and she continued the post-antibiotic regimen until 2018.
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone believes that all neurodegenerative diseases are caused by infections, primarily Borrelia.
• Challenges and Resistance in Medical Research
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone discusses the challenges and resistance he faced when trying to get academic institutions to fund clinical trials for the Deanna Protocol.
  • He emphasizes the importance of treating the cause of the disease rather than just the symptoms.
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone shares anecdotal evidence of the Deanna Protocol's effectiveness in treating Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
  • He highlights the need for further research and the potential for the Deanna Protocol to be effective in treating various neurodegenerative diseases.
• Clinical Experience and Intensive Therapy
  • Doro, shares her clinical experience working with Deanna and the intensive therapy program they designed.
  • Deanna's progress and improvements were significant, and the traditional ALS progression did not occur.
  • Doro emphasizes the importance of not treating Deanna like she has ALS and the positive changes observed in Deanna's muscle building and overall function.
  • The discussion shifts to the role of glutamate, AKG, and GABA in the Deanna Protocol and their impact on nerve cell communication.
• Impact of Borrelia Infection and Immune System
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone explains the impact of Borrelia infection on the immune system and the body's response to inflammation.
  • He describes the role of the gut microbiome in controlling the brain and the potential link between vaccines and autism.
  • The conversation touches on the importance of the immune system in maintaining health and the potential impact of mRNA vaccines on the immune system.
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone discusses the common denominator in neurodegenerative diseases and the potential for the Deanna Protocol to be effective in treating various conditions.
• Conclusion and Future Research
  • Dr. Vincent Tedone expresses his frustration with the lack of focus on the cause of diseases and the need for further research.
  • He shares anecdotal evidence of the Deanna Protocol's effectiveness in treating Alzheimer's disease and other conditions.
  • The discussion highlights the importance of treating the cause of diseases rather than just t
