Exact Therapy and Dosage for Peyronie’s Disease Treatment
Fine tuning Peyronie’s treatment key to success
Only you can determine what therapy to use or the exact dosage in your Peyronie’s disease treatment plan. Using the information found on the PDI website and “Peyronie’s Disease Handbook” as guides, each man must determine the specifics of his therapy plan for himself. To help you further, for your specific questions, I am always pleased to offer ideas and information about what I have learned since successfully treating my own PD in 2002 and the many hundreds of men I work with each year since then.
I can give you basic ideas and general suggestions. However, for the exact way to treat Peyronie’s disease it is important to remember that each case is different and must be worked out by each individual. There are no short cuts to this process.
Oh, I can hear you telling yourself right now, “But, I am not a doctor. I do not know about these things. This is too complicated. What do I do? How do I get started? I will never be able to do this!”
You can use any small or large group of therapies as a starting point. From this starting point you simply monitor and observe the response of your Peyronie’s scar to your treatment plan. The small, medium or large plan can all be modified to suit your thinking. Generally, the larger and more broad-based the plan, the better and faster it works to assist the healing process that you are attempting to promote.
Very often the starting point is based on personal finances and how determined a man is to be successful in his Peyronie’s treatment. Many men think, “I really would like to use all the different elements of the Large Plan. It makes sense to approach my problem from so many different directions, but I just can’t afford it right now. But, I can manage the expense of the Medium Plan.” Well, there is your answer.
You get the Medium Plan, you use it faithfully, you use it aggressively, and you monitor your scar for changes in the size, shape, density and surface qualities. If you notice changes in your Peyronie’s disease you simply stay with that plan. If you do not notice changes in your Peyronie’s disease problem after a few weeks of treatment you begin to make small changes in your plan until the size, shape, density and surface qualities of your scar(s) change. All of this is explained in great detail in the “Peyronie’s Disease Handbook.” Knowing the exact size, shape, density and surface quality of each scar is absolutely essential to your success in Peyronie’s treatment. If you do not have this book, get it so that you will know what you are doing as you advance in treating yourself – otherwise you are just guessing.
You must understand, I have absolutely no idea what is required for you to be successful in eliminating your Peyronie’s plaque. How could I? I do not know you. I have not examined you. You are not a patient of mine. But I can offer suggestions and ideas for you to use to guide your own therapy plan for the greatest success you can achieve.
What I think is not important in regard to selecting a therapy or dosage. For that matter, what you think is not important in regard to dosage.
What you determine by trial and error – and hard work – to create your successful plan using the dosage level necessary to make positive changes in your PD is what is important.
Every medical doctor alive practices medicine using the trial-and-error method in this way. If you are prescribed a drug for insomnia, the starting dose is just a good guess what might work for you. The doctor might tell you to take one pill two hours before bedtime. He or she will have you come back to the office after a few weeks to see how you are doing. If the drug is not working you will be given a different dosage, perhaps two pills three hours before bedtime. If that does not work, your prescription might be changed to include a second drug or further increases in dosage. This trial-and-error method of medical practice has been used for thousands of years and is time-tested. It is how you will also treat yourself to achieve the best success you can against your Peyronie’s disease.
Peyronie’s disease treatment dosage
Dosage is determined by the daily level of all therapies needed to cause favorable change in your scar(s). Of course if you are taking five different internal therapies (vitamin E, vitamin C, Neprinol, Acetyl-L-carnitine and PABA), and two or three external therapies (DMSO, manual penis stretching video, Genesen pens), each one must be individually determined. While you use all internal and external therapies in your total therapy plan you must monitor the size, shape, density and surface quality of your scar(s) to note at what dosage level changes begin in the scar material. It is as simple – and difficult – as that. That is why no clear dosage numbers are offered to you since everyone seems to use different internal and external therapies, in addition to doing them in different ways. In this sense, since each man is different, and each man follows a different plan, each man must determine what he must do to improve his scar behavior. Again, the procedure to determine scar size, shape, density and surface quality is explained in great detail in “Peyronie’s Disease Handbook.”
The correct dosage of any therapy product is not determined from a chart. The chart that you receive with your first order only tells you the average range of how most men take the therapies. Your dosage should be what you need to take daily to cause changes in your PD scar. The dosage for you is what you learn works for you. No one can tell you what you need to take. You have to determine that by your observation what makes the scar size, shape, density, and surface quality change.
If you run into a problem, you can always send an email with your question and I will do my best to guide you through it.

Peyronie’s Vitamin Therapy
Peyronie’s disease vitamin treatment to promote healing and repair
All Peyronie’s disease treatment is controversial. Peyronie’s vitamin therapy is even more so because the medical profession has always been slow to understand the use of nutrition to promote wellness. This website presents information about the use of natural Peyronie’s disease vitamin and minerals unlike the conventional use of drugs and surgery to treat Peyronie’s disease.
The use of Alternative Medicine in the form of Peyronie’s disease vitamin, mineral and enzyme treatment has been developed in the following manner:
1. Distillation and interpretation of opinions and data found in hundreds of medical research studies and ongoing technical data from the scientific community, as found in the footnotes at the conclusion of each of the Peyronie’s disease treatment subheadings.
2. Concurrence of opinion of the three primary medical doctors, and Dr. Herazy, who practiced together at Pioneer Medical Clinic, Chicago, IL, using their combined clinical experience of 90 years in practice, along with their medical knowledge and experience with Complementary Medicine to promote the innate healing response of the immune system.
3. Observations and personal experience of Dr. Herazy who treated his own Peyronie’s disease problem while using these same Peyronie’s vitamin treatment principles. Dr. Herazy was successful treating his severe case of Peyronie’s disease, and presents on this website what he learned from his valuable experience.
4. Dr. Herazy’s experience and direct feedback from thousands of men and women who successfully used the Peyronie’s disease vitamin and enzyme treatment principles outlined throughout this large website. This valuable information is retrieved from many dozens of telephone and email discussions each day since 2002, in which issues of progress and lack of progress, modifications of Peyronie’s disease treatment protocols are worked out on an individual basis.
5. Analysis of data and information derived from PDI’s ongoing seven-year survey questionnaire research project, voluntarily provided by approximately 2,400 men who have Peyronie’s disease.
Peyronie’s disease vitamin treatment not mainstream
Traditional medicine, with no accepted Peyronie’s drug treatment, offers only surgery as a mainstream cure. The Peyronie’s Disease Institute is not against Peyronie’s surgery when a case has been unresponsive to prolonged and aggressive use of multiple conservative care. However, this is not how it is often done; too many men rush into surgery believing that is an easy and sure solution to a big problem. Each surgical candidate should remember these three things:
1. Surgery will not restore the penis to its original length.
2. After surgery, hardened scar will develop to shorten the penis, often by 1-2 inches.
3. There is no guarantee that additional scarring might occur at the site of surgery, resulting in a return and possible worsening of Peyronie’s disease.
Yet, there are many Peyronie’s vitamin therapies investigated in large body of medical research that documents positive, but inconclusive and sometimes variable, reports of success while treating PD. Improvement and recovery made in the body while using Peyronie’s disease vitamin and enzyme treatments can be subtle and slow since their purpose is only to support or encourage a normal process of nature that is reduced or absent.
Our 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 – known to science as synergy. It is easy to understand – at least for most laypeople – that a single natural therapy will not work as well as aggressive multiple therapies; like “ganging up” on the problem. One child cannot lift a grown man; five or six children can do it with ease.
It is our opinion that it is safe and reasonable to attempt to improve the eventual outcome of PD by faithfully and aggressively using several conservative Peyronie’s vitamin treatment ideas that are based on sound science and common sense.

Medical Peyronie’s Cure is Lacking
Peyronie’s disease cure right under your nose
Everyone wants a medical Peyronie’s cure that is a fast, easy, economical – and, oh yes – guaranteed. In short, the ideal cure for Peyronie’s disease from the traditional medical viewpoint would be simply to pop a pill or two. In this way everyone with a bent nail could go about with his life as before, with minimal inconvenience or effort.
Why would I say that this is the viewpoint of “everyone”? Well, simply because we live in a medical society. When people think of a “cure’ they think of medicine as it is currently being practiced. All efforts on the medical industry drawing board are directed toward looking for a drug – oral or injectible – to be the great cure for Peyronie’s disease that has evaded us for over 425 years. Currently, Peyronie’s surgery is the only treatment that organized medicine makes available to someone with this problem and it is beset by limitations and drawbacks.
Other than the Peyronie’s Disease Institute no other effort has been made to seriously investigate a treatment for Peyronie’s disease outside of the traditional medical model.
This limited viewpoint of looking only for a medication to treat Peyronie’s disease is typical of the medical and drug industries. The business people who decide how to approach a particular health problem tend to look at these issues from a profit standpoint; they also only look in directions and for treatment approaches that are not only profitable, but which they can control so that their profit is protected.
Since the perfect Peyronie’s drug has eluded the medical establishment, they are quick to say there is no known cure for Peyronie’s disease. What this statement really means is that there is no known cure for Peyronie’s disease using a drug or medical procedure they can profit from, control, and manipulate.
There is a Peyronie’s cure
What kind of medical quackery and heresy – nonsense – is it to say that there is a cure for Peyronie’s disease? Actually none. The body itself, in a fairly high percent of cases, will heal and correct – cure – the Peyronie’s plaque so that the problem does not advance. Peyronie’s disease eventually leaves without a trace of deformity, pain, scar formation or limited sexual ability for about half of the men who get this problem. It is said that about in half of the men who develop Peyronie’s disease, within the first 12-24 months the entire problem will just go away on its own. Does that sound like a Peyronie’s cure to you? It does to me.
How does the body go about doing this miraculous thing, to rid itself of the terrible curved penis that is the hallmark of Peyronie’s disease, and heal over the mass of fibrous material that is known as the Peyronie’s plaque? I do not know; no one knows. But then again, I do not know how my body does the thousands of miraculous and complex things it does every second of every day of my life. I do not know, as a small example, how my body can take the breakfast I just ate and convert into living tissue. We are all just wonderful that way, and part of this is demonstrated when a man heals his own Peyronie’s disease.
The Peyronie’s Disease Institute is involved with the use of a wide variety of nutritional and supplemental products that are intended to increase and improve the ability of the body to heal the Peyronie’s scar. It is really not so complicated or more mysterious than that.
For those who say it is quackery or nonsense to think that a person can improve his ability to heal and function better in life, I ask, “Why it is that a person eats?”
What is the purpose of eating? To satisfy the taste buds? No, that is just a side benefit. We eat, we put nutrients into our body so it can function; the food we take in is fuel to enable life and repair to take place. By following the ideas of the Peyronie’s Disease Institute about PD treatment, all we are doing is trying to increase the odds and opportunity for the body to heal and repair in a way that is better than what is happening now. Call this a Peyronie’s cure if you want, but it is no more miraculous than anything else that your body does during the course of an average day.

Peyronie’s Cure is Where You Find It
Looking at Peyronie’s treatment differently
While it is generally agreed there is no such thing as a Peyronie’s cure, PDI has shown since 2002 that it is certainly possible to reverse Peyronie’s disease and penile curvature with Alternative Medicine when it is done in the correct way.
Peyronie’s disease is primarily concerned with the dreaded fibrous Peyronie’s plaque or internal scar material that can cause a variable degree of penile curvature, pain, sex problems, and reduced penis size. Any true Peyronie’s treatment must address the issue of the fibrous scar. Yet, when men are first diagnosed by a medical doctor they are told there is no known cause of Peyronies disease and no Peyronie’s cure.
Just because the medical profession does not have a drug as a standard Peyronie’s disease treatment, they have assumed the position there is no such thing as a Peyronie’s cure. For this reason MDs do not like to treat Peyronie’s disease. The average medical doctor, even a urologist, has few options for anyone with PD, other than Peyronie’s surgery – which often has poor results.
Peyronie’s disease treatment
The current accepted Peyronie’s disease treatment in a medical office is to do nothing for the first one or two years, while waiting for the Peyronie’s problem to either get better or worse on its own. This is the wait-and-see approach to Peyronie’s treatment is frustrating and irritating to any man who wakes up one morning with the curved penis of Peyronies.
While the medical establishment maintains there is no effective Peyronie’s disease treatment, the Peyronie’s Disease Institute has worked since 2002 using Alternative Medicine in a unique way that proves this is not true. There is a simple and direct method to for Peyronie’s disease treatment that is either misunderstood or overlooked by the medical profession. Those who follow the Peyronie’s Disease Institute treatment concepts sometimes even call it a Peyronie’s cure.
Daily I communicate with angry and defeated men who get no help from the medical profession, who are neglected and given no hope or information to help themselves with their Peyronie’s problem. Men speak of feeling like Peyronie’s orphans.
One of the basic questions of Peyronie’s disease treatment is this: “If my medical doctor says there is nothing that can be done for me, other than surgery, what does that really mean to me? For those who are comfortable with thinking independently, they must decide if there are options outside of medicine that the neighborhood MD does not know about, or even care about.
Natural treatment for Peyronie’s disease
The Peyronie’s Disease Institute was started in 2002 by Dr. Theodore Herazy after he successfully cured his own severe PD with Alternative Medicine. His early experiments with herbs, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other safe natural remedies showed exciting promise for Peyronies help. Over the years he has guided and counseled hundreds of men each year through the treatment maze toward elimination of the scar and distortion of Peyronie’s disease. It is not always an easy assignment, and when it is done incorrectly or without needed gusto it falls short of the desired outcome. But when a man uses all of the tools available to him in a faithful and aggressive manner, the results can be dramatic and prompt. It is estimated that about 80% of men with Peyronie’s disease who follow a large plan according to the outline provided on the PDI website, see from moderate to great success in reduction of penile curvature and elimination of the Peyronie’s plaque material.
Even though the medical profession says it can’t be done – it happens anyway because the body knows how to heal itself. Using the PDI concepts, you will be able to assist and stimulate that natural healing response that some people call a Peyronie’s cure.
Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease with Drugs
Medical Peyronie’s disease treatment
Medical treatment for Peyronie’s disease is basically limited to simple reduction of pain and hope for some level of sexual function. Since no known medical treatment of Peyronie’s disease exists, several experimental approaches are used with only half-hearted enthusiasm by the average medical doctor.
Current experimental medical approaches used to treat Peyronie’s disease:
- COLLAGENASE – Currently being researched as an injection directed into the scar tissue to enzymatically digest and eliminate it. It is found that repeated injections into the penile tissue can cause Peyronie’s disease, and hence the long term outlook for this method is questionable.
- POTABA – This is PABA, a B vitamin, with a potassium molecule attached. PABA is a safe form of Peyronies treatment, but the addition of potassium to the B vitamin requires a large dosage often resulting in severe gastric pain and digestive problems.
- COLCHICINE – This is a standard gout medication that is used to treat Peyronie’s disease because it is supposed to reduce inflammation and scar formation. Not many reports of success are evident in the literature, and for this reason this drug is not a very popular Peyronie’s treatment.
- INTERFERON – A protein that is used because it is thought to disrupt the production and promote the breakdown of collagen. Of all medications used, this is the least popular Peyronies’ disease treatment.
- VERAPAMIL – A drug normally used to treat high blood pressure. Can be administered topically in gel form over several months, or is directly injected into the plaque in a series of 8-20 shots into the penile tissue. This drug, in either form, is also less popular than it was when first introduced several years ago due to poor clinical results.
- STEROIDS – This is the same common drug used for many conditions, basically because of its anti-inflammatory ability.
- RADIATION – In low dosage thought to reduce pain, and no other benefit to Peyronie’s treatment. Can lead to other problems of excess radiation.
- SURGERY – Because the body does spontaneously resolve about 50% of Peyronie’s disease cases without any treatment or medical intervention, surgery should not be considered for at least one or two years following onset of signs and symptoms of the disease. Peyronies surgery is used only in severe cases, because it is not uncommon for surgery to make Peyronie’s disease worse or lead to complications that are worse than the original problem.
Most men who contact the Peyronie’s Disease Institute have already tried one or more of the above treatments, and are still looking for Peyronie’s help. The philosophy to treat Peyronie’s disease is simply to treat the man who has the Peyronie’s scar so he is better able to eliminate and correct his own problem – just as happens with the 50% of men who spontaneously heal their own Peyronies scar without any help from anyone.
The basic approach used by the Peyronie’s Disease Institute is to use as many well-researched Alternative Medicine therapies as possible so as to support the natural healing ability of the body. This can be done with vitamin E and C, acetyl-L-carnitine, PABA, dietary guidance, gentle manual soft tissue stretching of the scar tissue, DMSO, copper peptides, and others.
