October 1, 2012 Newsletter

Greetings to all PDI Warriors,


Welcome to the October 2012 PD Institute newsletter. I trust all my PD and DC friends are well. Isn’t it nice to get that heat and humidity behind us? It makes me wonder about the kind of winter we face.

Several newsletters ago I announced a second Peyronie’s website (www.peyronie.co). Currently we are using this new site as a place to test new ideas that will make the PDI and DCI websites better.  We are trying to make ordering and the responsibility of selecting and designing a treatment plan easier for everyone. Recent changes to the site and have resulted in what we think are huge improvements to the store where PD and DC treatment products can be ordered.  

The exciting news is that the changes you will find now on this second Peyronie’s website will soon be made on the PDI website and then later on the DCI website. Click HERE to take a look at those changes. Look at this new way we are presenting therapy products and the ordering process to you. If you like it, or do not like it, please let me know. 
 
Please make your next order from this second site to see if it will work better for you, and that it is actually the great improvement and learning opportunity we think it is.   If you like or do not like what you see, please let me know so we can make changes that will make your PD shopping and decision-making easier.    

Neprinol promotion – only during October 2012!
 
PDI/DCI Newsletter readers only

During the month of October 2012, each bottle of Neprinol 300 is $126.90, not the usual $144.99.  Order as many bottles as you want.

We have never sold Neprinol at this price, so get some today while supplies last.  No additional discounts apply to Neprinol 300 at this reduced price.

At checkout, enter promotion code Oct2012 to get the discount of $18.09 per bottle.

 
Now, on we go to the learning part of the newsletter. Since we have not done this for a few months, I will remind everyone this newsletter will once again present the familiar and popular format of presenting a simple exchange and blending of emails between one of your PD brothers and me. For those of you who are part of our DCI readership, please simply apply the ideas expressed here about PD treatment, dosage and stretching to what you are doing for your hand and DC; the two problems are essentially treated the same except for the obvious difference in anatomical locations.    

Please read this series of combined emails like the back-and-forth of two people talking while one occasionally interrupts the other to make an important point or answer a question. Anyone who has ever received a reply from me will recognize the usual format in which I use the original email to respond directly to individual statements and questions.

To understand the flow of the conversation, keep in mind that the text in black is from TXXXXX and the text in red is from me.  

What is great about this particular exchange of emails is that you can see what TXXXXX had to do to get his scar to come down in size, as well as reduce his curvature. Use these emails for information and ideas what you might want to apply in your situation if you are not earning the results you want. These emails are not presented to direct anyone to follow TXXXX’s particular dosages; they are presented as examples of what someone else did to get results. If your treatment plan and dosages are greatly different, and you are not satisfied with your current level of progress, you can think in a different way about making some changes in how you are currently doing things for yourself.  

You will see that TXXXXX is doing very well with his PD treatment.  He is one of those people who had never previously asked me any questions about Peyronie’s treatment, yet for months he regularly placed orders for therapy products. As TXXXX began his care it did not take long to notice his pattern of ordering. Anyone who orders from PDI and DCI knows, all products that are sent out include instructions and I often request for information from an individual about treatment results, yet I never heard from TXXXXX. However, after a few months I saw his orders were increasing – this is always a good sign that the person ordering in this way is getting good results.  Long ago I learned that when someone sees clear and definite PD scar changes, he gets excited and pushes himself even harder to make additional progress as things begin to happen for him, and so his orders increase. There is nothing so exciting or motivating as the first time the scar begins to reduce; it is proof that there is a way out of the Peyronie’s nightmare. 

You will see that he is taking a heavy dose of Neprinol. It is higher than the average person needs to take to get results; most people do not need this level of Neprinol intake for good results to occur. But this is apparently what TXXXX needed to do, based on what his scar response indicated.    

When I finally heard from him, I was pleased – but not surprised – to learn what progress he was making.   Apparently he had gone as far as he was comfortable working alone and without feedback, and now he wanted to know if I had any advice for him.  

TXXXX is writing in black text and I am writing in red text. Here we go:

Dr. Herazy,
 I'm 47 years old & I was diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease in Dec of 2011, but I think the injury happened at the beginning of Nov. 2011.  I found your website in January & started on a large treatment plan.  I was at about a 35 degree angle, with pain all the time.  I had a complete physical and all my blood work was normal except for my testosterone was very low.  Would this have any effect on the healing of the injury?  Quite possibly. There seems to be more evidence appearing the last few years that reduced testosterone predisposes to Peyronie’s disease. There is a natural reduction of testosterone levels as a man ages. This fact ties nicely into the incidence of Peyronie’s disease increasing as a person gets older.  Lowered testosterone levels will lead to reduction of libido, reduced length and girth size of the shaft and ED, which are also typically thought of as signs and symptoms of Peyronie’s disease. It is easy to see that these two problems overlap in several areas, and might easily be connected on a hormonal level.  For the last several months I have been investigating how PDI can help men, even us guys with a lot of snow on the roof, to increase their testosterone levels. If I can find enough evidence that it will be helpful I will make information about increasing testosterone safely and naturally available on the PDI website.
 
I have read your book, have 2 DVD's, do stretches, changed my diet,  How are you doing with dairy, meat and cold in your diet?  reduced drinking & this is the following vitamins & enzymes I am currently taking:

                                                                          afternoon, 8 after supper, (or in shorthand terms 8-8-8),
                                                                          consider taking the same 24 total daily in this altered
                                                                          pattern:  6-8-10 or even 5-7-12.  This assumes your gut
                                                                          can tolerate this higher late night enzyme dosage.

 Unique Vitamin E                          4 X 2 = 8     Lower to 4-6 daily – Have you noticed any tendency to
                                                                           bleed longer when you are cut?
 
I also do the following topical treatment DMSO + MSM, Unique E Oil & Super CP Serum & I'm using the Scar-X.  I have also incorporated heat therapy into my treatment plan. Good.  Moist heat?  Preferably applied pre-DMSO, right?    I've had several incidents of spontaneous pain with changes following after.  Yes, that is a wonderful sign of progress.  I had the same experience myself.  My pain when I still had Peyronie’s disease was mild and rather infrequent overall. But I had most discomfort when my scars were going through periods of nice reduction.  The only way I could explain it to myself, and the best I can do for you now, is to theorize that the tunica albuginea and Buck’s layer (sorry for the technical anatomy) are somehow physically stressed and altered as the PD scar tissue is reducing in size and coming apart.  This is a poor metaphor but the one that always comes to my mind:    When the edge of a glacier is melting and breaking up it creates icebergs that break off and float out to sea, in a process that is called calving.   When an iceberg breaks off from the glacier it creates a definite physical change along the edge of the iceberg as it separates, resulting in a smaller glacier, and it splashes into the sea.  Something like that must happen under, above, and around the Peyronies scar as it changes size.  Perhaps the scar pulls on or separates from connected tissues and might even cause bleeding as the scar separates from the tunica albuginea.  This makes sense to my knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology.  Keep in mind that the PD scar is not on the surface of the tunica (like paint that is on the surface of a wall), but it is actually a part of the tunica and is blended within it.  The fibrous scar or plaque material is not ON the tunica, but it is WITHIN the tunica layer.  When the scar starts to break down and get reabsorbed it must temporarily leave a void, like an abrasion or ulcer that has to be filled with more tunica tissue.  This process could leave the tissue irritated, like an open wound.  This would hurt, eh?   I've now had my injury for 10 months and progress has been slow.  I am now at about a 5 degree angle I think & the pain is off and on.  Can you recommend anything else that I can try to improve or speed up my healing process?    You mention you have the two CDs so you are doing the gentle manual penis stretching, right?  Please tell me how that is going for you.  I see changes about every 2-3 weeks.   So your curve has gone from 35° to 5°and constant pain, to pain during periods when your scar is changing.  Sounds good to me.    Sometimes they are very minimal, but they are changes and progress in the healing of my injury.  I would also like to know about the scar changes in size, shape, density and surface features you have noted, since these are actually more important to me than the distortion changes.

Dr Herazy,
 
Thank you for your quick response.  Is there something that I can do for the low testosterone?   Yes, probably more from a non-drug standpoint than you might realize. Testosterone is a highly responsive hormone in both men and women that does drop as a person ages, but usually more than is necessary or natural.  I have been doing a lot of work for the last year looking at the relationship of low testosterone to Peyronie’s disease and am near the point of making a decision to make this a major part of the PDI treatment protocol for those men who present a low testosterone profile.  With all that I am doing I am not able to easily reach that final conclusion but feel increasing testosterone levels will probably soon become part of what we do for Peyronie’s disease.  Anyway, until such time that you can get specific information from PDI about raising your testosterone levels naturally, I suggest you simply Google “raise testosterone naturally” or “increase testosterone diet” and you will find many sites that take up this subject.  We do to ourselves a lot of silly things that abnormally lower testosterone levels at too young an age.  Read a bit and you will see many simple things you can do to increase it.     As far as the diet, I think I've done very well.  I've cut out 99% of my dairy (except for a little ranch dressing with a salad), I only eat very lean meat & mostly chicken breasts (when I use to eat prime rib, t-bone & rib eye – I haven't had one of those in over 6 months).  It's been very hard to stay away from chocolate chip ice cream (LOL).  But, doing this diet change I have lost 35 lbs, THANK YOU.  I live in Oklahoma & we are having an extremely hot summer our highest being 113, so it's difficult to drink something without ice.  I won’t accept that.  In the heat you need more water, you do not NEED ice.  Taking in cold drinks does very little to reduce core body temperature; water is used to lower body temperature via evaporation of sweat (water).  Do you suppose people living in the desert in Biblical times burst into flames because they did not have ice around?   Do not make excuses for the fact that you simply like to use ice in your drinks. You must think of not using ice in your drinks as something you must do to beat your PD problem.   As far as the changes in vitamins & enzymes, I will incorporate the changes now.  I have been doing stretches 2-3 times a week.  But I am very sensitive & tender after.  I seem to have a heavy hand and have had difficulty doing it to where I don't have pain following.  Problem here:  The deep dull ache that I mention throughout the stretching CD should never be felt as actual pain.  If you are having actual pain you are doing something wrong – probably using too much force. And the deep dull ache is only to be felt during the time the gentle stretch is being applied, not afterward.  To me it sounds like you are being way too heavy handed with the stretching technique.  You must only feel a temporary deep dull ache during the stretch to know you are doing it correctly, and the deep dull ache must stop almost immediately as you stop the stretch.  I suggest you go back and listen to the manual stretching CD again.  Pay attention.  This is a very valuable adjunct to your current plan and I know it will boost your results if you do it correctly.  If you know you are doing too roughly, stop doing it that way!    Yes, I am doing moist heat prior to topicals.  I did have 3 nodules around where the injury is.  And, I had more of a bend at it's worse.  But, 2 of the nodules are gone & the indention has filled in, to where now I have a slight curve instead of a bend.  Although there is one nodule/edge at the top of the indention that seems to be my worst one and has had progress but very slow.  It is smaller and less sharp of an edge.  But, this is what seems to keep my curve from straightening out.  Probably so.  I suggest you alter your gentle manual stretching technique – done with the touch of an angel – as this was your one and only scar.  Focus all thought and technique to this one area and to this one persistent edge of the Peyronie’s disease scar. Please keep me informed about your progress.  TRH
       
 Thanks,
 
TXXXXX



That for now is the conclusion of my discussion with TXXXXX. I hope you all were able to benefit from this exchange of information. I have worked with many men like TXXXX and they usually do very well with their Peyronie’s treatment because they are not casual about their recovery. They get involved, they try hard, and they work outside of their comfort zone. When they start to see their ugly enemy scar begin to fade they get excited and they push harder at it because they see proof their efforts are being rewarded.   I also get excited and happy for a guy like TXXXX when I see someone responding this way.   We all should be happy for him and uplifted that his efforts to increase his healing ability are working for him.  

Please let me know if you have any questions about what you are doing. Stay focused to your treatment. See you next month.   

Regards,

Theodore R. Herazy, DC, LAc
