Deanna Protocol - Day Five


We received the AKG in the mail but realize the Cysteplus, Neurochondria, Glutathione, and NADH won't arrive until Tuesday.  That being the case we headed out in search of glutathione and NADH.  They had glutathione at GNC and NADH at Super Supplements.  Unfortunately, brick and mortar retailers don't seem to stock the other two products.  We await.

I had another high energy day!  It started with another water aerobics class, my third this week.  Then we headed to the nursing home for a meeting with the social worker on my husband's mother's behalf.  From there it was a bite to eat (teriyaki chicken), two supplement stores, and two grocery stores.  Through it all, my husband doles out my "meds" (actually just the protocol capsules and mixed powders) right on time.  He is really working to improve my ALS condition.  I really appreciate his support and I am surprised at it.  Initially, he was not on board with an "alternative" treatment.  I'm truly grateful he has come around as the initial costs to begin has been startling.  It will average out and be more cost effective and it sure beats therapy costs for lesser noticable benefit.

Oh, a note, yesterday my fingers starting fasciculating in a hammering fashion (as they did at onset).  I interpreted this as a sign that the nerve impulses are returning.  Today there is no more "hammering" and my hands and arms seem more controllable, not perfect, just making little differences thus far.  I'll take it!

Due to a communication SNAFU, my routine medications of Advil LiquiGels, Probiotic 10, Gabapentin were halved and I missed the Ditrapan altogether.  I took the following as part of the Deanna Protocol:

AAKG 12 g (over half a 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)

Kate

I think about my friend, Kate Struby, who died from this horrible disease in 2013. She lived here at Bailey Boushay House before I did. I reached out to Kate online through FaceBook because I loved her photograph with her head thrown back in laughter. I also loved her posts. I guess I just loved her spirit. I got to finally meet her one month before she died. I happened to be at the University of Washington Medical Center for my quarterly appointment when I saw her FaceBook post. She was awake and in the medical ICU. She was a mere few floors down. I would not be stopped. Relativeor no, I would meet my FaceBook friend. Thank God I did. I rolled into the room to find a beautiful, ethere.al woman flanked by two friends. Although it was an impromtu visit, she said she knew me immediately.I was in awe of her with her fiery spirit despite the ravages of our shared disease. She, unable to lift even a finger, lifted my spirit.

Immersion Therapy

Please excuse my selfish absence from posting to my blog. I wish I could say that I've been out diligently finding a cure for ALS, or tirelessly working to fund research, or hunger-striking to bring public attention to beacon the cruelty of not having access to care facilities geared specifically to the specialized needs of the ALS patient. Alas, I have been binge-watching Scandel, The 100, and binge-listening to audiobooks. I'm currently enamored of mystery and thrillers by Chelsea Cain and Lisa Unger. I cannot do a Helluva lot these days but I can still waste time. ALS ought to have some perks. I can immerse myself in completely in entirely new situations, raise my excitement level and learn something new to me.

Tuesday

Tuesday is shaping up to be my best day of the week. Every day holds the requisite eating, changing, television, and napping. But Tuesday, I got a glorious, hot bath in a handicap-accessible bathtub with my Angela and Lisa, reorganized my shower caddy with my Lisa, read "The White Album" by Joan Didion with my Lindsey, "supervised" doughnut-making and sampled same with my Sandra among others, and listened to Ryan Feng play classical piano. A new book fell into my lap today. Of course, I mean that figuratively. "Play It As It Lays" by Joan Didion was just laying on top of the informal Bailey Boushay House library cart, so I borrowed it. .Guess what we'll be reading? I feel very blessed!
