Translations:Dave Johnson's Proletariat Protocol/11/en

1. Let's begin with what the Proletariat Protocol is and isn't. It is a cocktail approach based on readily available inexpensive ingredients. It is fairly general, not making very much distinction between different types of ALS. It does not address the issues of hypermetabolism & muscle wasting, which deserve their own additional protocol, presumably ketogenic diet. And, inasmuch as it does not include any therapeutic strategy knowingly targeted to genetic defects in glia/astrocytes, the Proletariat Protocol will probably not do very much for patients having such genetic defects (for example fALS mSOD1).
2. Sorry to sound so pessimistic. On the upside, most patients who have credible reports of major therapeutic benefit, were doing a protocol of this same general nature. It's that track record of occasional success with cocktail therapies that led to the Proletariat Protocol.
3. What makes this particular Protocol different from all the others, is that this one was developed in plain view right here in the ALSTDI Research & Treatments Forum, with critique by some of the smartest ALS researchers on the entire planet. Although Dave J. is the guy actually doing this project, it has been and continues to be a project with quite a bit of PALS and research community involvement. It's got peer review.
4. The Proletariat Protocol is not driven by commercial considerations. I'm not selling any ALS-related products or jockeying for a job with a biotech company. That having been said, Life Extension Foundation was an early leader in the field of do-it-yourself ALS cocktail therapeutics and I've been trying to drag them back into it. Sorry to report that so far my invitation has gotten no traction.
