35 degree bend and painful most of the time
Sorry, Doc, for taking so long to get this testimonial to you.

I'm just grateful that after living with Peyronies for over 6 years I was able to find the PDI website.  I got divorced and later lost a really nice girlfriend because of this problem. I was really depressed and after a while I thought it was never going to get better.  At first I just ignored the problem when it was not too noticeable.  When it got to hurt real bad I went to a uro and he told me to do nothing for a while because it might just go away on its own.  He later prescribed verapamil cream that cost me a fortune but did nothing for me, and then next some Vitamin E.  I even tried a VED on my own and got sore from it.  After slowly worsening for the first two years, my bend got stable in a 35 degree upward arc.  It hurt a little most of the time, and really bad only sometimes.  I just couldn't even think about surgery, but that was the only thing that the uro said he could do for me. I spent a lot of time reading what men from discussion groups had to say about Peyronies.  Then I got to just checking things out for myself and found PDI.

 When I first read your material, I thought I saw some hope for me to beat this thing.  I really liked your idea about “ganging up” with a lot of different things all at the same time.  I got so excited I ordered the vitamin E and C, DMSO, copper, MSM, enzymes, the CD massage video, and the acupuncture pointers right away.  After I started to see some improvement for the first time in 6 years I added in quercetin and the Scar-X to my program.  The pain went away after the first 2-3 weeks.   After the first month or so I thought maybe the erections were harder and the bend was less, but I couldn’t tell for sure.  After a few more weeks I knew things were coming around.  All that I am doing keeps me really busy but it has been worth it.   After a little over a year of faithfully keeping on my plan I only have a little dip along the top of the shaft but no curve, and the firmness is about 75% normal.  I have regained almost all of the thickness and most of the lost length.  My new girlfriend did not notice any problem.  I had to explain to her why I was being so careful with myself, and that is how she learned about my Peyronies.  She didn't  even know l I had it until I explained it to her. 

I know there are men a lot worse than I was, but it was bad enough it was ruining my life.  I am so grateful that you folks have been there for me and put this information together for us to learn about a better way to treat this problem. You are really helpful and your service is great.  Thanks.

30 degrees and miserable
I had PD for over two years.  Even though I had only a 30 degree bend, sex was very painful for me.  I was becoming impotent, and Viagra didn't help much.  Things were miserable, and worsening.   A few months after getting on your suggested moderate program I began to improve.  Some days I can't even find the two scars and other days they are present but very soft.  The bend is now 5 degrees and intercourse is no longer a problem.

Open-minded Urologist
I got started with my program about 7 weeks ago, after my urologist OK'd the information I showed him from your website.  He said it made a lot of sense, but he is a pretty open minded doctor.   He said he agreed with what I showed him about synergy of using all the different things together at the same time.

 I couldn’t believe all the tight tissue I found in my lower pelvis, like the video said. I am really working that part of the program hard everyday, and staying with the enzymes between meals and everything else with meals. 

My pain went away after the first 5 days (after constant pain for over a year).  Thanks.  I know for sure one of the three scars is definitely getting smaller and softer already, and another one is maybe changing but I can't be certain about it, and the other one is about the same.  The slight bend I have has not changed yet.

Curve is half of what it was
You know, I really can't say why I tried using your ideas and your approach after failing with all the other things I tried, but I did.  I tired the injections with Verapamil, ionotophoresis, a VED (it made my PD worse) and a stretcher, but what you said in your website made sense to me, so I just jumped in again and tried it.   Now, after 12 weeks I have lost three of four scars and the last one is half the size it used to be.  It is not changing fast, like the first two did, but it is slowly coming around.  My erections are more firm and the curve is about half of what it used to be.   Thanks for all the information that comes with the vitamins and things, they really help to know how to do all the stuff I do.  It is not easy treating my PD, but you know, it is not easy having PD.

Glad I ran into your website.  I wish more men knew about the simple ideas you offer.

Bottle neck and 50-60 degrees
I am 48 years old, and had a really bad case of PD for about two and a half years.  I had several small plaque nodules and one major one, making me angle to the left at about 50-60 degrees with a twist so it was like it was almost laying on its side, depending on the day.  After the first few months of my PD it really hurt bad, and than all the pain went away. I had what was called a bottle neck deformity.  I could not get a full erection because my penis was smaller and softer away from the scar and larger closer to the base.  I didn't have sex for a long time, mostly because I felt disgusted by the the way I looked and also because of the softness making it impossible anyway.

I was going to have an operation because I felt like it couldn't get any worse than what it was.  Before I started to read your  information I tried taking a few vitamin E pills once in a while, but nothing serious.  After I read your entire website everything came together for me.   At first I did just the E and MSM but nothing happened.  Then I read more and put together a bigger treatment plan and that’s when things started to improve.  It’s taken me a while but I am definitely better after 11 months of work.  The bottle neck is almost gone, the curve is about 35-40 degrees, and a few weeks ago I noticed that it was firmed up a little like it used to get.  I think I am slowly getting a little better all the time.

Thank you so much for your website and all of the great help you have given me.

Success in three weeks
This is a little awkward but I will try to explain.

 I have been using the PDI middle plan and have been using all products as suggested in your PD Handbook. I have had no problems at all regarding diarrhea or other maladies. 

About 3 weeks ago I started the plan, and in the last few days I noticed my erection has increased and blood flow is definitely improved with use of enzymes and exercise – diet has been improved but can still work on it even further.  I have eliminated dairy quite a bit. Avoiding cold beverages and cut back on alcohol to 1x week.  I have eliminated smoking and swimming 3x weeks.  Don’t know what to owe it to but I feel the blood supply is definitely better down there.  I must admit in three weeks, the plaque appears to have shaped a little differently as I feel it when erect, almost like it is disintegrating.  I am faithful with topical treatments (DMSO and Copper) – skin color under head where scar is located is becoming more pink and maybe cells are rejuvenating.  Overall skin color and tone of shaft  looks better.  Maybe the blood vessels are improving?  There has never been a bend, my problem for the last 2 years was a decrease in girth under the head, and maybe lost a little length.  Even that seems to be changing with the erection feeling larger.  Thanks for asking about my progress.

Scars shrinking after three years
Sure, go ahead and let other people read this.

I am taking Vitamin E, Vitamin C, MSM, ScarX, ALC, Neprinol and DMSO with Callisto oil and CP serum like you said to do, and the exercises and massage from your CD for about two months now.  For the last few weeks the scars are shrinking down and it almost feels like they are breaking apart.  My dick doesn't hurt any more either.  I can get an erection now that is almost hard enough to do some good, and it seems like it is not as skinny around like it was. 

I read that nothing was supposed to help after having peyronies for almost three years, but I guess I am not smart enough to know that and I see some good changes almost by the week.

Scars shrinking after having PD for many years
I have been on the small plan plus using the Genesen at-home acupuncture device for a little more than 3 months.   The first thing I noticed was reduction of all pain within the first weeks which was great because it was so bad sometimes I could not sleep.  Then my wife said she thought I was getting back to my former length and girth again.  Lately we notice that the curve is not so sharp like it was and is more gradually curved.  We can hook together for intercourse easier because the angle is reduced.

If any one says that PD can't change after a long time like mine, just show them this letter.

PD and other things improved
My wife found the PDI website over a year ago.  She wanted me to read what you had to say about treating PD with natural things, but I didn’t want to even look at it because I was so depressed and angry about the whole situation, I just could not face it.  She was working to help me and didn’t want to give up on me, even though I had given up on myself.  She nagged me and I ignored her for about a week.  After a while she said she was going to order some vitamins and things for me from you guys on her own.  Frankly, that’s when I went to the computer to read some of your information, so I could talk her out of wasting any money.   After all, my MD and specialist said that I should just wait for a year or so, and then I could get surgery if I needed it.   My year was just about up, and I was trying to get used to the idea of surgery.  Since I did not know any better, I figured that was the only thing to do.

I just recently started a maintenance dose of my basic treatment plan, emphasizing vitamin E and Neprinol, and your prostate multiple supplement.  I really enjoy doing the energy exercise and massage from the video and I think I will continue doing that forever.

I am generally feeling a lot better in a lot of ways.  People say my hair is getting darker, I know I have more energy, I do not get out of breath the way I used to, my hands did not feel so cold this last winter like before (I can now get by without wearing gloves some times and not hurt from the lack of circulation), and I also notice that I get up only once a night now to urinate.  As far as the PD is concerned, the scars are all gone, and the curve went from a sharp 15 degree bend to the right along with a wide arc upward, to a hardly noticeable lean to the right.  All of these changes in the PD gradually started about a month or so after I started with all my PDI products.  I am grateful to my wife for learning about treating this problem with natural therapies, and I appreciate the help you have given me with all the emails and helpful information.

Grateful for progress
My case of PD was different from a lot of those I read about on the PD forums or this testimonial list.   My Peyronies was never all that bad, but I just didn't want to take any chances so I started with the biggest plan PDI suggests and within the first couple of weeks the little cluster of bumps near the head became more difficult to locate and lately they almost feel smoother and softer when I can find them.  The color of the skin around the scars is definitely better.  It seemed like within the first week or two of my treatment I could feel more blood circulating and a tingling at different times of the day.  I have changed my diet and made many of the lifestyle changes suggested in the PD Handbook.

Since I am only 23 years old I really feel grateful to make such good improvement.   Too bad other people don't know more about this natural approach to health.

Not skeptical any more
Nobody was more skeptical than me starting out with all those vitamins and enzymes.  Now I am a believer.  I noticed a little change after less than a month when the scars seemed mushier and smaller.   Then I noticed that it didn't hurt any more during intercourse, and that was a big change for me.   I just wanted you to know I will stay with my therapy program until this thing is eliminated.  Maybe it will happen, but even if it just stays the way it is now, my wife and I are really happy with the improvement we have seen in just a few months of care.  It is not an easy thing to do, but it can be done if you work at it.  

All those guys that are looking for some magic cure are going to be disappointed.  You just have to work to make your body healthier so it can heal the PD scar.  It makes sense.   Keep up the good work, Doc.

One small nodule left
After almost ruining myself with penis stretchers and starting a bad case of PD, I finally found the PDI website.  I used the medium plan for a while and maybe the larger of my scars was softer, but I could not tell for sure although my erections were harder and less painful.  So then I added acetyl-L-carnitine and that really made a huge difference.  Now only one small nodule or bump is left, my curve doesn't keep us from having sex, and life is looking better.  I am really happy with the speed of recovery even though it is a lot of work.

Girlfriends don't notice any problem now
After living with this grotesque problem and frequent pain for almost three years, and destroying my marriage, I just about gave up on my PD problem.  But now I know I am finally getting somewhere.  I feel like I must tell you that I have been at it now following a modified Medium Plan for almost six months, and after a slow start things are starting to happen for me.  I wasn't sure if I was imaging things but about maybe 7 or 8 weeks into my PDI plan I thought my erections were harder and straighter (I had a 50 degree bend up).  That's about the time I wrote you an email and you said to make a few changes (add DMSO and Scar-X). More good changes happened soon after, and then I reinjured myself one night during sex. The pain was pretty bad but it never hurt after the first week and the scar never got any bigger. 

Now my scar is almost gone, and I am now happy to say I have less than a 10 degree bend.  I feel better about myself, and confident, and the last few women I dated did not understand what I was saying about my bend because they thought I looked OK to them. 

Just wanted to thank you for all your help and the great information on the website and in the books.  Your approach has really saved me.  God bless.
