Deanna Protocol - Day Six


Yesterday, due to a communication SNAFU, my routine medications of Advil LiquiGels, Probiotic 10, Gabapentin were halved and I missed the Ditrapan altogether.  As a result, I awakened with tight and stiff joints and hobbled out of bed.  Oops!  Today I got it right and managed to take them both am and pm.  I took the following as part of the Deanna Protocol:

AAKG 18 g (First day of full dose!)
AKG  300 mg caps x 7 = 2100 mg (half dose to start)
Glutathione 50 mg x 6 = 300 mg (350 mg is full dose)
NAHD 40 mg (full dose)
GABA 500 mg (full dose)
CoQ10 200 mg (full dose)
B Complex (full dose)
Bee Propolis 500 mg (full dose)
5-HTP 50 mg (full dose)
Creatine 800 mg
Ginkgo Biloba 120 mg (full dose)
Glycine 1,000 mg (full dose)
Magnesium 400 mg (full dose)
Methyl Folic Acid 2 mg (full dose)
Phosphatidycholine 1,680 mg (full dose)
Taurine 1,000 mg (full dose)
Theanine 200 mg (full dose)
Vitamin D3 5,000 iu (full dose)

Still missing from the regimen is the Cysteplus and Neurochondria.  Also, I have not located the Glutatione IV source nor have I got a coconut oil massage and I really want the c-oil massages!

Though I have not previously mentioned this, I'm looking into having 3 amalgam fillings removed as I think that ALS may well be toxin-induced and do not doubt that my amalgams are the source of mercury toxicity.

I continue to cut down on and avoid food items on the avoid list for my blood type as I've been learning about in "Eat Right For Your Blood Type" by Dr. Peter J. D'Adama.  I am A negative.

I had less energy than any previous day since I've begun the protocol.  After getting my hair cut, colored and styled my husband and I took a short leisurely drive in a few sun breakthrough spots then grabbed some sweet and sour and went home.  Apparently my shaky and slow trip up my hairdresser's steep 28 stairs wore me out, I took another five-hour nap (as I was taking pre-protocol).  Notable is that today was Saturday, a non-water aerobics day which begs the question, "Are my energy increases due to the protocol or the aerobic exercise?"  I think my strength gains are protocol-induced but the stamina correlates with the aerobics.  Just one woman's opinion.

I Remember...

I remember catching fireflies,  putting them in a jar, as a girl of five. I picked pears off a tree that overhung an alleyway on my route home from school, then enjoyed the forbidden fruit. .I had a golden cat who chased a gray mouse through our living room sending my mother, 3-year old sister, and me screaming atop the sofa and chairs. We lived in a farmhouse and I watched Romper Room. A daddy longlegs skittered across my dirty kid legs as I teeter-tottered on a broken kitchen chair back. I played grocery store and laid out a bedroll for group nap time in preschool. We lived in an apartment attached to a bakery. My maternal grandparents visited and a photo was snapped. Grandma held Dawn and Grandpa held me. I held Grandpa's chin. Walking through the back of the flour-caked kitchen, I saw scrumptious pastries and colorful toys stuck in the cupcakes with my hungry kids eyes. We lived in a two-story apartment building next door to a large farmer's field.  That field was my...

Managed

Managed care, do not get me started. It is the bane of my existence and my savior. If quadriplegia has curtailed my activities, and it has, then being in a home has curtailed even more. I've had to dumb it down and set my standards low. Gone, are the halcyon days of getting in my wheelchair to go for a stroll or sit in the sun, or even sit in the sun room. Neither the nurses, nor patient care technicians, know how to put me in my wheelchair. Seriously. My chair has head controls and it is a bafflement. Most caregivers don't even realize I have head controls. First, they hit the left head pad when they lift the armrest which turns the chair on. Next, they sling me over and place me in the chair. The problem? My head, naturally, rests on the headrest, which accelerates and drives the chair and is beyond my control. Running over a caregiver or running myself into an obstruction are very real consequences of their ignorance. What could be worse? The caregivers remain clueless abo...

On-the-job Sass

I continue getting sass from one particular caregiver. He says, "You need to communicate with us." he continues to completely miss or dismiss the concept of I would if I could . It is part and parcel to having ALS, I am losing my ability to communicate and it is his job to assist me. Part of helping me, like it or not, is to learn my routine and anticipate needs, when possible. He misses the fact that I'm failing more every day and night time is when I'm weakest. It is extremely insensitive and arrogant to expect me to cater to his needs and expectations. Pushing me to repeat words or expound on a simple one word suggestion is physically taxing on my system, adding stress which further depletes me. Cuing is supposed to be caregiver's domain, not the patient's. Here is the situation, I am being changed. In the midst of the action, as seems to be his practice, he is sidelined asking me trivial, meaningless, but energy-sapping questions. Do I want my legs raise...
