Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease with Alternative Medicine

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Peyronie’s Disease Treatment is simple with Alternative Medicine

All Peyronie’s disease treatment is surrounded by controversy.  Every drug and surgical treatment for Peyronie’s disease is unproven, to say nothing of the Alternative Medicine treatments proposed by PDI.

No one can say which is the best treatment for Peyronie’s disease at this time, because only prescription medication is researched by the drug industry.  Peyronie’s medication and surgery are the only forms of treatment for Peyronie’s disease that the pharmaceutical companies seriously investigate; no other Peyronie’s treatments are even considered.  With no economic motivation Alternative Medicine ideas are ignored.

The Peyronie’s Disease Institute offers a way for the average man to apply concepts and have personal control over a form of new treatment for Peyronie’s disease, using Alternative Medicine.  Peyronie’s natural treatment will never be considered by the pharmaceutical and hospital industries, and these business interests will never endorse home treatment for Peyronie’s disease for obvious economic reasons.

The PDI website recommends aggressive use of multiple Peyronie’s disease natural treatment in the acute and chronic stages.  The purpose of this intense treatment for Peyronie’s disease is to increase and support the maximum healing potential of the body.  In this way each man is given the best possible opportunity to repair and regenerate the damaged penile tissue to the best of his ability.

“Proof” of Peyronie’s Disease Treatment

In modern society drugs and medical technology with the greatest profit potential are researched most and are pushed hardest into the marketplace. Even though a particular treatment for Peyronie’s disease might help people, unless there is strong economic motivation to find “proof” that it works.  Low profit therapies (vitamins, enzymes, homeopathy) are generally ignored by the medical establishment for reason of simple economics.   Simple remedies are labeled “unproven” not necessarily because they do not work, but simply because no one wants to spend the time, effort and money to scientifically prove their effectiveness. A good home treatment for Peyronie’s disease can stay untested (ignored actually), and therefore remain “unproven”.

New Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease

Our theories for using aggressive and multiple Peyronie’s treatments are not yet proven.  That proof is probably a long way off, since PDI cannot underwrite PD research the way a large university or billion dollar company can.   PDI is not against surgery or drugs in cases that have been non-responsive to prolonged aggressive use of its new treatment for Peyronie’s disease.  Too many men rush into Peyronie’s surgery believing that is an easy and sure solution to a big problem.

Natural Peyronie’s disease treatment theory is that the potential benefits of these subtle natural therapies are enhanced and multiplied by simply using several alternative therapies at the same time.  We strongly suggest that abundant benefits are available to any man who needs treatment for Peyronie’s disease by using what is known and what is available – even if it is not perfect – rather than passively behave like a Peyronie’s victim.

Peyronie’s Disease Impotence

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Peyronie’s Impotence facts

There are several reasons why Peyronie’s disease impotence (erectile dysfunction) develops in about 75 percent of the men who have this condition. Peyronie’s disease impotence can be mild or total, it can be occasional or constant, but it is extremely common for men with Peyronie’s disease to experience sexual intercourse performance problems.

Impotence is defined as the continual inability to sustain an erection long enough or strong enough for sexual intercourse or the inability to achieve ejaculation, or both. Peyronie’s disease impotence is the erectile dysfunction that develops due to abnormal changes in the penis that are part of Peyronie’s disease.

Most people assume that Peyronie’s impotence develops due to lack of blood flow to the organ. This might be true in especially in those cases in which the man has an underlying problem with the cardiovascular system (high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, vascular disease, diabetes, etc.) In other men , another occasional cause of Peyronie’s disease impotence is emotional. Because of the reduced self esteem, shame, embarrassment and anger related to penile distortion and reduced length and girth of the organ, a man can develop strong emotional expressed as Peyronie’s impotence. However, for most men the primary cause of Peyronie’s disease impotence is simply due to what is known as “venous leakage.”

Peyronie’s Impotence Fundamentals

In a great number of cases of Peyronie’s disease impotence the fundamental problem is that the blood is no longer being trapped by the veins of the penis to dam it up to create the greater fluid pressure of an erection. The problem is that the veins of a man with Peyronie’s disease do not close to trap blood well. This imperfect or absent closing is caused in great part by the presence of the Peyronie’s scar. The scar acts like something that is blocking a door from closing. That is where therapy should be directed in Peyronie’s disease impotence – toward removal of the scar so the veins can close to allow a normal erection to develop.

One of the greatest and most effective ways to directly treat Peyronie’s impotence is with an Erektor. An Erektor is an external penile support device that offers just enough gentle support to the penis – even without an erection – to hold it for easy penetration to allow intercourse to continue as long as the couple desires. The Erektor allows men to perform full quality intercourse without erectile medications or supplements. Unlike ED medications, the Erektor is safe because it has no drug side effects.

The Peyronie’s Disease Institute is proud to be the only company to serve as an authorized distributor of the Erektor. For those couples who must deal with the frustration of Peyronie’s disease impotence, the Erektor is often the only thing that helps.

Please go to our sister website known as Natural ED Solutions to learn more about the Erektor and get some real help for your Peyronie’s impotence.

Peyronie’s Symptoms

Peyronies disease symptoms

Peyronie’s disease symptoms can be extremely variable. In fact, one of the things that make Peyronies symptoms so difficult to put together into a diagnosis is the different presentation of this problem from one man to another. For this reason, Peyronie’s disease treatment is difficult.  Even pictures of Peyronie’s disease that show what the condition can look like, are also variable.

This is why the Peyronie’s Disease Institute has worked for almost a decade to determine the best possible way to diagnose and treat this problem that often eludes effective care.

Because of the wide variety of Peyronie’s symptoms, Peyronies treatment can be variable when using Alternative medicine.

Peyronie’s symptoms of importance

The onset of Peyronies disease symptoms can be sudden or slow, but most often will appear in less than a month after direct injury, sometimes taking just a few days to appear when injury is found to be the cause of onset.

The severity of Peyronie’s symptoms can also be variable. Some men do not even know they have the problem because their Peyronie’s symptoms are so mild, while other men experience alarming Peyronie’s symptoms that they are unavoidable and shocking.

Two most typical Peyronie’s symptoms:

Distorted or deformed penis
When the penis is erect, it is very common to have the Peyronie’s symptoms of deformity or distortion caused by the presence of internal fibrous or “scar’ tissue within the tunica albuginea of the penis. The penis may be:

  • Bent, or curved, upward, the most common deformity, or bent down or to one side; not often in will bend down
  • Distorted into an “hourglass” appearance, with a narrow band around the erect shaft that is complete or partial
  • Distorted into an “bottleneck” appearance, in which the base of the penis remains fairly well erect and normal for the individual, but the area above and away from the base remains small and non-erect
  • Distorted into a “hinge,” “dent,” “ding,” “niche” effect, in which the penis when erect has a small but distinct area of non-filling making it appear to have a small portion that remains soft and non-erect.

Any of these Peyronies symptoms of curvature or other deformity may gradually worsen during the first six to 18 months. After a certain point, which is variable from man to man, the distortion will no longer worsen.

Pain as a Peyronie’s symptom

Pain most often occurs with an erection during the first six to 18 months after onset. However, pain associated with Peyronie’s disease may present itself in many ways:

  • Only during an erection
  • Only when not erect (flaccid)
  • Only during an orgasm
  • Only when the penis is touched

Some men do not have any distortion or bend of the penis, or pain, making these two common Peyronie’s symptoms not totally reliable as a way to diagnose Peyronie’s disease.

Other common Peyronie’s disease symptoms

Scar tissue under the skin surface

The scar tissue, also known as a plaque, associated with Peyronie’s disease can be felt below the surface of the skin of the penis as small elevated or flat beads, lumps, bands of slightly to greatly dense and hard tissue. Some of these are smooth or rough, with even or irregular edges. Some men can easily find their Peyronies scar and with other men it is never located even by a doctor.

Less common Peyronie’s disease symptoms

  • Distortion or bending while flaccid
  • Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • Loss of penile size by either shortening of the penis, or loss of girth or circumference, or both

PDI – the leader in Peyronies disease self treatment

Every now and then I get an email from someone wanting to know if I know anything about Peyronie’s disease self treatment.

This is always surprising to me since it is so obvious to me that the major topic of the entire Peyronie’s Disease Institute web site is all about using Peyronies natural treatments that every man can manage for himself.

The way that PDI helps someone learn about and work with Peyronies disease self treatment is by first explaining about the different therapies, then offering detailed information about putting together an effective Peyronies treatment plan, and lastly by being available to answer questions and make suggestions if problems arise during care.

The general topics of discussion and product availability that are part of a larger Peyronies disease self treatment plan include:

1. Natural supplements taken internally (vitamin E, vitamin C, PAGA, acetyl-L-carnitine, enzymes, herbs, etc.)

2. Homeopathic medicine (Scar-X)

3. Natural supplements taken externally (vitamin E, copper peptides, DMSO)

4. Energetic medicine (professional grade non-invasive acupuncture therapy equipment, a video about gentle manual stretching of the PD scar, a video about a gentle massage and exercise program)

5. Books (“Peyronie’s Disease Handbook” and “Peyronie’s Disease & Sex”)

For anyone who is interested in Peyronies disease self treatment, it is safe to think that PDI has what you need. PDI has provided help to those who want to help themselves get over their Peyronies since 2002.  If you have any questions about this topic, please contact Dr. Herazy at info@peyronies-disease-hlep.com

Peyronie’s disease treatment and Viagra, Cialis and Levitra

Monday, August 17th, 2009


Boy, do I get questions about Viagra, Cialis and Levitra!  Most of these questions come from men who are taking these drugs on the advice of their MDs who using it as part of their Peyronies treatment efforts.    

 

These drugs are wildly popular, not only among men who have erectile difficulty (impotence) but also healthy men who merely use them to have longer lasting and more repetitive sexual intercourse.

 

Sounds like a good thing, doesn’t it?

 

While I hate to spoil the fun, but over the years I have had a disturbing number of men tell me they know their PD started after using Viagra, Cialis, etc.   The erections created by these drugs are indeed super-erections and get to be that way because of the greater than normal internal pressure that is created within the tunica albuginea.  This is powerful stuff that can really cause problems in this delicate area of the male body.

 

These drugs create such hard and long-lasting erections because they induce an abnormal state in the penis. What if you could take a drug that would enable you to lift a ton of weight above your head and keep it there for an hour?  Nice trick, very impressive, but your body is not built to take that kind of pressure.  It would cause great damage to internal organs, your spine, your blood vessels, all major joints, etc.  Simply put, “It just ain’t natural.”  Same with Viagra, and the rest of these products.

 

As much as it might sound like a dream come true, the penis is not built to sustain increased internal pressures that are created by these drugs, and the penis is not built to have hour after hour of intercourse.  That kind of activity can be abusive to the delicate tunica.  Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

 

I have an interesting story from a man who called me a few months back and explained that he injured his penis in a most unusual way.  He and his wife had used Viagra for the first time to their mutual delight.  Both of them went to sleep, except his penis continued to stay erect.  It was a monster of an erection and at first he thought it was great.  During the night, while asleep with a huge erection, he rolled over in bed and jammed his penis into the mattress.  He felt a great pain and felt the tissue “pop.”  Basically he tried to pole vault on his erection and he found his penis could not sustain that force.  About two months later he developed PD.  Can you imagine what would happen if you already have PD and had something like that happened?  You would go from bad to worse.  This man did. 

 

I know many men with PD have their MDs write prescriptions for these erections drugs.  I am sympathetic why men do these things.  They figure if it was not good for them the MD would now do it.  What they forget is that most MDs do not understand or care about PD, and are more interested in getting the fee for the office visit, than doing what is the smart thing to do.  MDs also perform surgery for PD that makes the problem worse, knowing there is a high rate of poor surgical results from this kind of surgery.  Just because you can get a prescription for it doesn’t make it any safer or any less stupid in the long run.

 

Use your head and stay away from these forced erections.

 

One last metaphor.  Your car tires are designed to hold 40 pounds of air pressure.  What would happen if you decided to increase the pressure to 80 pounds, just for “the fun of it?”  Well, first of all, we would all understand the tire would be much more likely to blow up and pull away from the rim because it was not built to be used that way.  It would be damaged by applying more pressure to it than it was built to take.  Enough said.

 

Peyronie’s Disease Institute has access to some really great Oriental herbal erection enhancing – not forcing – products.  These will easily and gently boost your erectile ability but not in such a forceful way that you will get hurt.  They surely do work, but with no side effects, they last a good 8-12 hours, and they are a whole lot less expensive than your prescription drugs.  Let me know if you are interested and I will give you some information about these wonderful and safe products.

 

Average time for Peyronie’s disease treatment to see results

Friday, August 14th, 2009

There are no averages with Peyronie’s disease.  Everything about Peyronie’s disease is up for grabs. And for sure there is no average time within which men respond to Peyronie’s disease treatment.     Some men respond in a few weeks, others take months, and some not at all.

There are those who say they did not respond to PD treatment.  After questioning them,  I usually find  they made the mistake of either using a plan that is too small or not faithfully following the plan they have.  PD is a tough problem and you must be dedicated to eliminating the problem – half efforts do not work.

What we propose at PDI is a concept for Peyronie’s disease therapy that is not so earth shattering or extreme.  All we are doing is attempting to figure out why your PD did not correct like about 50% of the men who develop this problem.  If half of the men “cure” their own PD, why not you?  That is all we are attempting to address with our therapy concept.  It is really not so far out as some of the other things you find on the Internet. All standard medical information about PD clearly states that in half of the cases, the Peyronies “goes away on its own.”   The Peyronie’s disease treatment approach promoted by PDI is to do all that is necessary to prepare the body to heal on its own, just as it should happen, just as happens in half of the cases.  It is really not such a crazy or extreme idea.  PDI advocates that an aggressive use of multiple conservative Alternative Medicine therapies, as outlined in our website, an assist the body to heal the PD scar better than without that effort.

Since 2002 it is my experience that those men who follow the largest and most aggressive therapy plan will usually get the best results.  For those interested in doing all that can be done to promote healing and repair, the “Large (Best) Plan” is designed for maximum personal treatment.  This can be found on the website at http://peyronies-disease-help.com/buy.html    The Medium Plan is the most popular of the three plans offered by PDI. There is also a Small Plan that is well designed.    It is very common for men to substitute Neprinol in place of the two smaller products, Nattokinase and Serrapeptase in any of the plans.  All can be modified to suit your thinking about therapy.

Peyronie’s disease treatment must be followed aggressively and faithfully because PD is a very difficult and stubborn problem to treat successfully.  For any level of correction of the problem be prepared to spend time and effort to build up the strength of the immune response.  It can be done; I talk to men everyday who are doing it.

I would be pleased to answer any specific questions you have about treatment.  I will be happy to give you the best of my thinking about what you might want to do to change the direction your problem is heading.  Simply ask a question at the end of this blog post.

I have worked with hundreds and hundreds of men, some mild and some severe, some just a few months and a few more than 10 years old.  I had a pretty bad PD problem until I cured my condition using the procedures found in the book I wrote and the same Alternative Medicine ideas as on the website.  Success against PD is not determined by how bad the problem is at the start of care or how soon you start treatment; it seems to be determined by intensity of effort.

You do not have to feel like a victim if you are working to improve your health and immune response against the presence of this foreign tissue.

Peyronie’s Disease Institute is available to offer information and suggestions for effective care.  The PDI website offers ideas and information you will not find anywhere.   If you want some help and ideas that you are not now getting, I would be pleased to help you along.

 

Peyronie’s treatment

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Since mid-2002, I have been deeply and continually involved in Peyronie’s disease treatment – initially for myself, and then later for other men who have PD. All the details of my successful effort to heal my own case of Peyronie’s disease using Alternative Medicine are revealed in my first book, “Peyronies’ Disease Handbook.”  For more information about the book, go to http://peyronies-disease-help.com/PD-owners-manual.html

The most popular single topic of any email question I receive from around the world concerns Peyronies treatment, naturally.  More than wanting to know about the chemistry or the physiology of Peyronie’s disease, or how to locate the Peyronie’s plaque, or names of doctors in different parts of the world, or anything else about PD, people want to know what must be done to successfully treat this terrible problem.

Many details about Peyronie’s disease treatment are found on the PDI website, in “Peyronies’ Disease Handbook,” and in nearly 100 issues of the Peyronies Disease Institute Newsletter.  Some days I answer more than a dozen emails from men and women who have countless questions about PD treatment.  I offer the best information I possibly can to each person. Yet, no matter how many times I present this information in a variety of formats, there remains one aspect of Peyronies treatment that many people just do not seem to understand.   

Perhaps it is my fault for not stating this treatment information plainly enough, or not presenting it often enough.  Yet, somehow I feel responsible I have not found the best way to present this basic aspect of Peyronie’s disease treatment so everyone will understand this topic as well as I do.   If this is so, if all this is my fault, here is yet another attempt to make this important point about Peyronies treatment perfectly clear. 

Peyronie’s disease treatment critical point

Regardless of how a person attempts to increase their immune response to eliminate the nasty Peyronie’s plaque, it is not as important how you start treatment, as it is how you progress and eventually finish your Peyronies treatment.   There are many ways to rationalize and calculate how you will go about treating your PD problem.  There are many good ways to help your body eliminate the Peyronie’s scar and restore penis health.  That is the reason I have assembled three different size sample treatment plans, go to http://www.natural-complementary-medicine.com/index. asp? PageAction =VIEWCATS &Category=2   I have repeatedly said that these three plans can be increased or decreased in an effort to help your body heal your Peyronies.  

Each day several men begin their Peyronie’s treatment with PDI in a wide variety of formats. Some of these are ultimately successful and some are ultimately unsuccessful, not because of the plan they put together at the beginning of their care, but their ability to modify, organize and apply the necessary changes to their Peyronie’s treatment plan if they do not get the kind of results they are looking for with the plan they start with. 

Peyronie’s treatment is like a football game 

Let’s say that you are a football coach, and you have a big game coming up.  As part of your job, you rationalize and calculate how you will beat the opposing team.  You know the strengths and weaknesses of the men on your own team, and you do the best you can to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the men on the other team.  You keep in mind the weather conditions, the time of day, home team advantages, and countless statistics to eventually develop a winning strategy.  Eventually, you devise a plan to win.  The day of the big game arrives and you put your plan into action.  After a few minutes into the game you see that you have made some mistakes because none of what you planned is happening, because apparently you did not figure things out correctly. 

You can do one of two basic things:

1.      You continue with the plan you started with.  You follow the basic plan that you started with because you tell yourself that your plan made sense to you before, and it should eventually work out.  You tell yourself, you must have patience with your plan.  You remind yourself that if you continue to follow your starting strategy things will sooner or later come together, your plan will begin to work, and you will eventually win.  Besides that, you do not know what else to do, so you struggle forward.

2.      You change your plan after giving it a reasonable time to work.  You eventually keep those parts of your starting strategy that seem to be working, while you change other parts of the plan that are not.  You improvise where you can, make minor and major changes if you are able, and look around for options that you might not ever have considered before.  You try different things until something works.   It is not pretty, it is not what you planned, but you take every advantage you can find during each moment of the game. Besides that, you do not know what else to do because continuing with a loosing plan does not make sense to you.

You see, my PD Warrior, Peyronie’s treatment should not be not static, although some people approach it that way.  Just because you start with one idea, one plan, does not mean you must continue with it if it does not seem to be working after a resonable length of time.   

If you start with one idea, and it seems to be working, fine, continue with it.  But if it is not working, change it.  How?  I don’t know.  But if you let me ask you a few questions and tell me about what you are doing, I know I can offer you some ideas you have never considered.  Sometimes these changes make a small difference in the progression of Peyronies treatment, and sometimes they make a huge difference.     

Now, I hope this little discussion makes a difference in your effort to increase your ability to heal and repair your Peyronie’s disease.

Please comment and ask questions here if there is more that you would like to know about successful Peyronies treatment.  

Peyronie’s Disease Institute Survey

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

 

PDI has conducted an online survey asking many questions concerning various aspects of health and habits of men who have Peyronie’s disease.   This survey has changed slightly over the five years it has been conducted.  These changes and additions have been in response to emerging trends of information about Peyronie’s disease treatment and the men who have this problem.

 

Many of you blog readers have completed the Peyronie’s Disease Institute’s symptom survey, and for that I thank you.  For those who have not answered that survey, I encourage you to do so at http://peyronies-disease-help.com/selfsurvey.html   It can be found directly on the PDI website under the “Self-evaluation” tab.   

 

The value of contributing to the survey has been proven in many ways. In fact, it was the strong trend of digestive symptoms that many men with Peyronie’s disease indicated in the survey, that prompted interest in looking at this as a possible direction of additional care.  As a result, the inclusions of the dietary therapy concepts were developed that are now a part of the PDI treatment format.  For complete details of those dietary suggestions to reduce stress upon the digestive tract in men with Peyronies, please refer to the large chapter in “Peyronie’s Disease Handbook” that is available at http://peyronies-disease-help.com/PD-owners-manual.html   

 

I continue to monitor and assess the answers from the PDI survey daily.   There are several different trends (low back flexibility, circulation of the hands, cold sores and production of stomach hydrochloric acid) that I continue to monitor.  In addition, there are a few larger patterns taking shape as the numbers of survey responses continues to grow with each passing day.

 

As a side note concerning the PDI survey, if there is anyone out in the large audience of this blog, who has some insight or nagging question about the cause or treatment of Peyronie’s disease and would like to submit a question for possible inclusion in the Peyronies survey, please submit it here to the blog at http://www.peyronies-disease-help.com/blog/?cat=6 

Peyronies treatment and breast cancer

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

 

Here is an some interesting information about Peyronie’s disease treatment from an unlikely source:  breast cancer research.

 

German researchers who track breast cancer rates of progression have proposed the controversial notion that some forms of breast tumors found in mammogram studies might naturally disappear – or heal – on their own if left undetected.   Archives of Internal Medicine November 24, 2008;168(21):2311-2316.  Mammography and manual breast self-examination for tumors have become the standard methods for early detection of breast cancer during the last 20 years.Dr. Per-Henrik Zahl and colleagues examined highly invasive breast cancer rates among nearly 120,000 women age 50 to 64 who had a mammogram examination over a six-year period. They compared the number of breast cancers found in another group of approximately 110,000 women who were screened only once at the end of the same six-year period.

Dr. Zahl expected to find no differences in breast cancer rates.  However, he found 22 percent more invasive breast tumors in the group who had mammograms every two years, raising the possibility some cancers somehow disappear naturally.

 

 

This landmark cancer study suggests that some cancer can go away on its own, something that most doctors and  oncologists would never consider.   Prior to this study, when a cancer disappears without treatment, it is typically dismissed as an error of diagnosis or a fluke.  But this German study suggests that even highly  invasive cancers not only may go away without active medical treatment, but that they do more often than previously imagined.This supports the Peyronie’s Disease Institute concept that our body’s have the remarkable capacity to heal, and that ability is determined largely by our lifestyle – including and primarily your nutritional intake.  If you eat well, exercise, get enough sleep and sun exposure and address your emotional stress, your body has the best opportunity to maintain a healthy balance toward correction of many health problems like Peyronie’s disease.  Is this an infallible method of health care?  Of course not. 

 

 

 

People still need medical intervention and need to visit their medical doctors.  But they also need to remember that the body can heal itself when given the opportunity, and that opportunity must be promoted by following reasonable things that promote health as we discuss on the PDI website.      
 
If you are interested in information that will help you understand how to promote your best possible chance for a natural Peyronie’s treatment, then go to

If the body can cure an invasive breast cancer, it can do many wonderful and miraculous things when given the opportunity.  PDI gives you information about promoting that opportunity for the best Peyronies treatment possible.
