Neurodegenerative diseases are diseases in which the nerves, gradually over time, lose their ability to function until the individuals effected become paralyzed, unable to control muscle movements (ALS, MS, Parkinson’s) and/or develop dementia (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s). ALS is the most aggressive and severely debilitating neurodegenerative disease from a physical perspective.
Patients with ALS typically only live between 1.5 and 3.5 years after diagnosis. After diagnosis, they quickly lose their ability to control all voluntary and some involuntary muscle movements: this includes losing use of hands, feet, legs and arms, losing the ability to speak, swallow food and saliva, blinking the eyes, breathe, digest, etc. They usually become 100% paralyzed with zero body function within one to two years of diagnosis and remain trapped in their bodies, needing round the clock care for a few years until they eventually pass away. All the while, their minds are fully functioning. There are no pharmaceutical drugs on the market to cure or treat ALS effectively.
What is the Deanna Protocol®?
How the Deanna Protocol® helps the body combat ALS.
Our product is the Deanna Protocol®, a patented formulation with a specific ratio of two key compounds: Alpha‑Ketoglutarate (AKG) and Gamma‑Aminobutyric Acid (GABA). These substances occur naturally in the body, but in ALS, higher levels are required to support cellular energy and protect nerve function. Arginine is added to balance the acidity of AKG, making the formula more palatable and aiding absorption.
The Deanna Protocol® targets the mitochondria of the nerve cells to stop them from dying. The mitochondria of a cell is like the fuel system of a car. It converts fuel to energy that keeps the cell alive and functioning properly. In people with ALS, the mitochondria in their nerve cells don’t function properly and because of that, the nerve cells lack energy and they die.
2 Key Discoveries
The Deanna Protocol®
The Deanna Protocol® is a patented blend of two active ingredients: Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) and Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA). These compounds occur naturally in the body, but ALS requires higher levels than the body produces. Arginine is added to reduce AKG’s acidity and improve taste. The Deanna Protocol® offers a natural way to support those living with ALS, a disease with no effective treatment or cure.
The Borrelia Bacteria
The cause of ALS is likely a borrelia bacterial infection that attacks the nerve cells. The bacteria is a hardy bacteria and is extremely difficult to kill. It remains in the system for life, if not treated. Most people’s immune systems are able to keep the bacteria at bay, to the point where the person experiences no symptoms at all, sometimes for decades. When you order the Deanna Protocol®, we will mail you more literature on borrelia bacteria. Your literature will come with your Deanna Protocol® product order.

Formulated and Endorsed by Real Doctors and Metabolic Experts
The Deanna Protocol® is the first product on the market using a metabolic approach to disrupt the pattern of cellular degeneration in the neurons. With published articles in renowned medical journals, studies conducted at major research universities, and many first-hand testimonials supporting its effectiveness, the Deanna Protocol® is making waves in the neurodegenerative disease community.
Neurodegenerative disease causes nerves to gradually, over time, lose their ability to function until the affected individual begins to lose muscular control and motor function altogether. The Deanna Protocol® is proven to help maintain normal motor function and nerve function. The Deanna Protocol® restores more than just life; it restores hope.
The Deanna Protocol® is a mix of nutrients naturally found in the body (Arginine, Alpha-ketogluterate, and gamma-Aminobutyric acid) in a proprietary ratio that studies have proven most effective. The Deanna Protocol® Citrus Medley product also contains all-natural flavoring that has been taste and sensitivity tested by Deanna and others, to ensure that the flavoring is easy on the stomach and the tastebuds! The Deanna Protocol® has no artificial preservatives, dyes or flavorings and no unnecessary fillers or excipients.
What quality control standards do you use in manufacturing?
Our products are made in a facility that abides by the FDA’s CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Process) standards. The facility where we manufacture also tests all raw ingredients for purity, the presence of bacteria and viruses, heavy metals and any other substances that should not be present in the raw materials. After manufacturing, the facility also tests the finished products again to make sure they meet the same standards as the raw products. They test every batch and provide us with certificates of analysis for every batch tested. Additionally, the manufacturing facility washes equipment down after every batch, using food grade cleaners on the equipment. Then, the equipment is washed down again with water to remove the cleaners from the equipment. The manufacturing and storage facilities are also temperature and humidity controlled to ensure that the active ingredients retain their shelf life. We also manufacture in small batches, to avoid having to keep inventory on the shelves (which wears out shelf life).
What research exists to prove the Deanna Protocol®’s effectiveness?
What are the risks of taking the Deanna Protocol®?
The substances in the Deanna Protocol® are naturally found in the body. Taking them at the published doses should not be harmful, provided that you do not have any other medical issues that would make you sensitive to any of the substances or a combination of them and provided that there are no contraindications with substances or drugs you are already consuming. You should check with your doctor to ensure that following Protocol is safe for you, specifically.
Will my neurologist approve of me taking the Deanna Protocol®?
Most are neutral toward the Protocol
Neurologists who have heard of the Protocol usually will not object to their patients following it, but they will not officially recommend it either. Why? Physicians expose themselves to legal liability if they recommend ALS treatments, therapies, or plans that are not already widely known and accepted in the medical community and have not undergone formal organized human clinical trials. Therefore, officially recommending the Protocol could put him/her at risk for lawsuits. Regardless of doctors’ inability to recommend the Protocol, most doctors do not object to patients following it if their patients choose to.
Many neurologists have not heard of the Deanna Protocol® yet. If your neurologist has not heard of it, one reason is because it is relatively new. Another reason your doctor may not know about the Protocol is because it is a group of supplements, not a pharmaceutical drug. Supplements receive much less attention from the medical community than pharmaceutical drugs do. One could argue that supplements receive almost no attention at all. Therefore, even some of the most renowned neurologists in the country may not have heard of the Protocol.
GABA does not pass the blood-brain barrier. Why was it added to the Deanna Protocol® if this is the case?
The blood-brain barrier is not intact when the body is afflicted with ALS, so it does pass the barrier in people with ALS.
Do you sell the Deanna Protocol® without flavoring?
Yes! We’re excited to introduce you to our newest iteration of the Deanna Protocol®! We get a lot of requests for an unflavored formula, so we’ve been working diligently to get this to you.
Without the excipient flavoring, you’ll notice a few changes, so we wanted to explain the differences. The unflavored formula may taste a little bitter, so we recommend mixing it with a strongly-flavored beverage (like cranberry juice). Some people have also recommended a smoothie. The scoops will look different (smaller). While that is true, you are getting the same amount of active ingredients (without the flavor), so take the same number of scoops as you normally consume. We’ve already done the math, so no need to make adjustments on your end.
If you do not like the unflavored variation of the product, our flavored version is still available, so please reach out and let us know.
What’s the difference between Unflavored and Citrus Medley Deanna Protocol®?
Our unflavored Deanna Protocol® only contains GABA, AKG, and l-arginine allowing you the flexibility to flavor it to your taste with juice or to take it plain. The Citrus Medley has the same amount of GABA, AKG, and l-arginine as the unflavored. The difference between the two is that the Citrus Medley version has pineapple fruit powder, citric acid, monkfruit, natural orange flavor, and beta carotene so it is not bitter like the unflavored version. Both the unflavored and Citrus Medley Deanna Protocol® offer the same effectiveness. The tubs of unflavored Deanna Protocol® are smaller since they do not have the all-natural flavoring that the Citrus Medley has. The unflavored tub of the Deanna Protocol® contains about 90 scoops of the Deanna Protocol®, like the Citrus Medley. The scoop that comes with the unflavored Deanna Protocol® is a bit smaller than the scoop that comes with the Citrus Medley.
