Anything you do
for your Peyronie’s disease (PD) – even if what you do is to
do nothing – is a choice and a calculated gamble.
PDI's
opinion is that it is smart to use the best of what is known
and available while the truth about PD is still being debated. If
what you do makes a difference to your PD, look what you
gained. If your effort does not help your PD, you did not harm
yourself and chances are the various therapies at least
benefited your
overall health and well-being.
This website offers a base of information to create a personal
treatment plan with reasonable possibility to improve the opportunity for success, based on
the synergy of using
multiple therapies yet with minimal risk since none of these treatments
are inherently dangerous. With so many simple, safe and
sensible things that often work, even though none of them have
full scientific proof and acceptance, you have a reasonable
chance to increase your tissue’s ability to heal and repair
your PD. Even if these therapies do not help your PD, there is
only remote chance any of them could do harm. This is not true
of medical therapies.
PDI uses therapies that are refinements
of substances normally and naturally found in your tissues – vitamins, minerals,
enzymes, and amino acids. None of the therapies we propose are
foreign or invasive in nature.
If you are successful in supporting your health sufficiently,
and your tissue responds by healing your PD – you win. If you
are not successful in supporting your health sufficiently or
early enough to adequately make the changes or
improvement in your PD as you hoped – you don't lose.
There are no known side-effects to the elements of this
treatment plan, and you improved your eating habits, improved
your nutrition input, exercised more, probably removed some
plaque from your arterial walls, probably lowered your blood
pressure, probably noticed that your blood circulation was
improved and your hands and feet are not cold as they were
before, and probably witnessed general improvement in your
overall health – you don't lose.
If after following an aggressive and
scientifically based
alternative program of care your PD does not respond, as can
certainly happen, then surgery can still be used. It seems
logical that the
PDI approach to managing PD is a safe way to
use the time that the average MD would suggest that you do
nothing to help yourself. Most conservative thought
would be favorable to spending a few dollars and reasonable
effort to reduce the need for an eventual surgical
procedure. The person with a cold takes vitamin C to
increase the function of his immune response, and expects to
shorten the time he is ill. The person who has a broken bone and takes a calcium supplement, or the person
who is anemic and takes some extra iron, or wants to build
up some additional muscle tissue and takes some extra
protein, is thought to be sensible and intelligent. The
PDI
tactic of aggressively using widely acceptable nutritional
information and science in a PD treatment plan is not much
different. These measures have been reported to
improve the ability of the body to heal and repair PD in
certain studies -- and could increase the odds you could be
in the 50% group that eventually recovers from PD.
