PDI
TREATMENT
PHILOSOPHY
Peyronie’s
Disease Institute (PDI)
has a treatment philosophy for Peyronie’s disease (PD) that
is not common in the medical community. We want you to know
that the opinions and philosophy we share with you are not
mainstream medical thinking, at this time, in two fundamental ways. First, PDI recommends using mainstream
Alternative Medicine therapy products
(vitamin E, copper, DMSO, enzymes, etc.), and procedures (exercise,
massage and
acupuncture), but they have not fulfilled the rigorous testing
standards typically required of drugs. Second, PDI holds to the
theory that taking multiple therapies, all at the same
time,
as described in this website may possibly
result in some degree of improved ability to heal and
repair due to a scientific phenomenon known as "synergy". Both of these ideas are not currently
accepted by orthodox medicine.
All products and therapies in the
PDI arsenal are well known
and generally accepted as important, and often essential, for
health and well being. What is different is that we advocate
they are used in significant number and at the same time, for
maximum potential effect and benefit. The
PDI approach to treat PD uses
synergy, a concept that is very well known in medical practice. Synergy is the tendency for two or more substances
working together to produce a total effect that is greater
than the individual substances each could produce
individually. You have seen many examples of synergy in your
life when a small group of people or things were brought
together and accomplished so much more than each could have
done separately. Because of synergy the results seemed to be
multiplied, not simply added. For further discussion, click
Synergy.
Our philosophy of care for PD is based on simple observations
that must arise when you really think about PD:
-
Why do some men
completely recover from PD without treatment?
-
Why do some men
get worse and need surgery, no matter what treatment they try?
-
If the PD scar is
a scar like I have on other parts of my body, why does it seem
to change so much – not only size, shape, and density, but
also location?
-
If it’s the same
disease, why does PD have such a wide variation of findings
and outcomes among different men?
-
What’s the
difference between the two groups of men whose PD behaves so
differently?
-
Best question: How can I join the
group that heals their PD scar with no problems?
Good questions!
While no one has concrete answers, we think it just makes
sense that the man whose PD gets well on its own has a better
healing capacity and better health in some important way, than
the other men whose PD never gets better. We think it is not just a matter of luck. The
PDI philosophy of care suggests you push to increase your
healing capacity and get healthier in that yet undetermined way so
your body can heal to the best of its ability. The fact
that some men do better than others likely means there is
variable − not static − capacity for healing and improvement for all men. Applying
common sense and generally available knowledge about health
and healing provides the PDI foundation for a treatment plan to
improve your chances to survive PD as a winner.
The scar of the tunica albuginea is an expression or extension
of the health of the body in which it occurs. Much like an
ulcer, the Peyronie’s scar is fundamentally seen as the result of
abnormal body chemistry and physiology. As such, reasonable
treatment for PD should attempt to improve the chemistry and
physiology of the tissue in which the scar is located. Based
on this philosophy, all of the products, nutrients, techniques
and ideas we suggest for PD are directly or indirectly
intended to improve the chemistry and physiology of the body
in general as well as specifically in the tunica,
and scar production in general. The expression of this
improvement should be a healthier person with healthier tissue
that can heal better. The
PDI treatment menu is based on what
might possibly correct or normalize the chemistry and
physiology of the tunica of the penis and its scar tissue.
PDI takes Mayo Clinic’s judgment about PD very seriously when
it wrote that ”early stage disease is reputed to respond
better than well-established plaques, an early trial of
inexpensive, safe and well-tolerated oral therapy is often
initially recommended. … With advances in the molecular
biology of inflammation and wound healing, the management and
understanding of this frustrating disease will no doubt
improve.” With this statement in mind, we strongly recommend that any man,
in any stage of PD – no matter how chronic or advanced –
should evaluate the use of
synergy created by the combination of several simultaneous non-invasive treatment
measures, each selected on the basis of the best
understanding of your problem and the information that is
available to you.
PDI likes to
think of our PHILOSOPHY of TREATMENT as “ganging up” on
the problem.
“USE EVERY GOOD RESOURCE YOU CAN FIND, ALL AT THE SAME
TIME, FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO START SEEING RESULTS,
THEN CONTINUE UNTIL YOUR BODY HEALS TO THE BEST OF ITS
ABILITY.”
We advocate approaching the PD scar very aggressively
with very conservative measures. To do less is
to take a grave risk that could result in failure that
no man wants to endure. |
PDI
philosophy about treatments comes down to this: It is better
to do something, than nothing in the case of an early -- or
even late -- stage Peyronie's disease. Yes, it is
better to do all you can for your PD, as soon as you can,
using as many of the safe and scientifically grounded
options that are known to have some success in helping the
PD scar heal. If after following an aggressive alternative
medical program there is less than complete repair and
healing, as can happen, then surgery can still be used. For

Heads You Win, Tails You Don’t Lose.
We leave it up to
the website visitor to read, investigate, and make an informed
decision about how he wants to proceed with the special PD
therapy plan he feels comfortable using. We
strongly suggest you look over all the material and
information we have on this website. After learning all that
you can, compare our ideas to other reference areas on the
Internet. Come to your own conclusions about what, if
anything, you would like to do for your PD that you are not
now doing. When you have an idea of what you would like to do
to help yourself further, talk to your own doctor about it and
get his/her advice. Listen carefully to what you are told.
Then make up your own mind about the care you will undergo.
For a tongue-in-cheek look at how the
PDI philosophy of care is
different from common medical thinking about PD, click
A Man
Whose House is on Fire.
We are told our philosophy of attempting to promote and
enhance better tissue healing makes sense. You will find that
it feels good to take charge of a situation where you
previously felt a loss of control. Consider applying the power of synergy
using safe and economical therapies for your problem. Don’t
feel or act
defeated by PD. Once you get busy with a
well-designed Alternative Medicine treatment plan you will
feel energized simply by taking action and not behaving like
a PD victim.
