She Has ALS—Here's What Happened During Her Two-Week Regenerative Protocol

Описание: The Derry family from the united states visits LMI, showcasing a patient's journey through medical care. This video clip highlights their experience, including aspects of medical assistant support during treatment. It's a glimpse into dedicated healthcare and patient care at our facility.

Gina Derry is 51 years old, a wife and mother of two from Iowa, and is bravely battling Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a progressive and devastating neurological disease that attacks motor neurons and strips away the ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually, breathe - while the mind remains painfully alert and aware.

She arrived at Longevity Medical Institute® supported by her husband, Jason, her children, MacKenzie and Maxwell, and her brother and sister-in-law all of whom stayed by her side during her full two-week treatment protocol.

This wasn't just a medical visit. It was a family's act of hope, determination, and love.

Understanding ALS: A Global and Urgent Crisis
ALS affects more than 300,000 people worldwide. With no known cure, most patients are given, on average, 36 months to live after diagnosis.

Our Clinical Approach: Expertise That Meets Urgency
We don’t claim to offer a cure for ALS. But we do offer hope that is grounded in science and driven by purpose.

Our comprehensive approach is designed to:
• Slow the progression of neurodegeneration through targeted, regenerative strategies
• Reduce inflammation in the nervous system, aiming to protect what remains
• Support neurogenesis—encouraging the brain and spinal cord’s capacity for repair and regeneration
• Preserve and restore motor function where possible
• Enhance quality of life through personalized, integrative therapies
• Give back time, dignity, and control—because every moment matters

This is more than symptom management. It’s a fight for function, for independence, and for the possibility of progress.

"I feel alive, vibrant, hopeful, and happy!" said Gina Derry on day 6 of her protocol.

Our regenerative protocols developed for ALS can also benefit individuals facing other neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Clinical Spotlight: A Multidisciplinary Team Built for Complex Conditions
At Longevity Medical Institute, no patient faces their journey alone. Our collaborative approach ensures that each case, especially ones as complex as ALS, is treated from every possible medical angle.

The Treatment Plan: What We Do and Why It Matters
Gina's personalized treatment included two critical modes of regenerative therapy over the course of two-weeks:

1. IV Stem Cells + Exosomes + Peptides + Nutraceuticals — Delivered in Multiple Sessions
This powerful intravenous protocol is designed to work systemically—targeting not just symptoms, but the underlying biological environment contributing to ALS progression. Each session aims to:
• Reduce systemic inflammation, which plays a critical role in neurodegeneration
• Modulate the immune system to create a more protective and less hostile environment for neurons
• Support whole-body tissue repair and cellular communication
• Promote neuroprotective signaling and regenerative potential, including support for neurogenesis
By combining advanced biologics and precision supplements, this therapy lays the groundwork for resilience—helping the body do what it was designed to do: protect, repair, and adapt.
Clinical Note: IV stem cells are too large to cross the blood-brain barrier. That means they can support systemic recovery but cannot reach the brain or spinal cord where ALS does its most severe damage. That's why we also performed something more advanced.

2. Intrathecal Stem Cell Injection
This procedure involves injecting stem cells directly into the spinal fluid (CSF). It bypasses the blood-brain barrier and allows stem cells to reach the spinal cord and brain - the exact regions ALS is attacking.
This delivery method allows our therapies to:
• Target the central nervous system directly
• Promote neural tissue repair
• Stimulate neuroprotective and regenerative processes
• Provide more focused support to motor neurons
Intrathecal injection is more invasive, but for a disease this aggressive, it's necessary.

The Power of Stem Cells in ALS
Stem cells reduce inflammation, calm immune overactivation, and release trophic factors (healing signals) that can protect remaining neurons and potentially regenerate them through neurogenesis.
Combined with exosomes—cell-free messengers that further promote healing—this approach helps create a more supportive environment in the central nervous system.

It's not about curing the disease. It's about preserving function, slowing loss, and restoring what we can.
