Re: Dupuytren Contracture diagnosed from hand injury.
I have been wondering recently if development of DC, particularly after a surgery or injury, may be some kind of autoimmune response. I suspect there is a connection between hyperproliferative conditions, such as DC, and autoimmune diseases. I've not read this, but I just suspect it. If anyone knows of any websites about it, I'd be interested.

JohnG:
FreshThePain, I don't think I've heard of this before:
"avoid fluoride, MSG and aspartame like the plague. MSG is in virtually every processed food, so you will have to stop eating canned and frozen and packaged convenience foods."
What's the reasoning?
Excitotoxins like MSG and Aspartame are inflammatory to the body, and tend to inflame injured parts of the body which are trying to heal. Have a look at some of Dr. Russell Blaylocks videos on excitotoxins on google video or youtube. The cleaner of disruptive chemicals your system is, the younger your body is and the more regenerative it is. The idea is to try to restore your body back to the time when as a young person you healed very quickly.

Re: Dupuytren Contracture diagnosed from hand injury.
Ok. I looked up his profile on Wikipedia. Definitely not my kind of thinker, but to each his own I suppose.
I'm a conventional scientific type of person who will continue using fluoride toothpaste, getting flu vaccines, avoiding conspiracy theorists, etc. regardless of his recommendations to do otherwise.

Enjoy your aspartame too, and your Dupuytrens.

Re: Dupuytren Contracture diagnosed from hand injury.
FreshthePain; Seems to me that you are assuming that everyone with DD and LD is American and brought up on an American diet of processed food. I am a country Kiwi. I grew up in NZ in a world where we ate what we grew or killed. No fluoride, no msg and definitely no aspartame. We didn't even have pollution.
Despite all this I developed LD the DD in my teens. The only link I have is a lot of Scottish ancestors.

Dupuytren's and processed food
The connection between processed food and Dupuytren's is assumed or postulated. I don't think that there is any proof of that, just claims. Taking it further I am not aware of any diet that could help against Dupuytren's http://www.dupuytren-online.info/dupuytr...s_research.html. The only connection that I am aware of is the link between alcohol and Dupuytren's. A Dutch group will soon publish quite convincing data (the paper is accepted but not yet in print).

Did you even read what I posted? I was writing about healing from a hand injury and suggested adopting a less toxic diet toward that end . Nothing radical. No conspiracy theories.

Re: Dupuytren Contracture diagnosed from hand injury.
Brianb,
The hard thing about this disease for most is the fact that it is a life long sentence. it just doesn't stop. It might even lay dormant for years and then go nuclear. No known reason or prediction.
NA is criticized for having a somewhat higher recurrence rate than Open Surgery. I say....So What. So the bad news for you is that "over the years" you might now be facing the need for more "work" (just like the aging movie star!!) Your's sounds like the less aggressive form of the disease, and for that you might be grateful, as I am of mine. 7 years going strong.
I fully expect that more procedures are on the way for me at some time. It's been seven since my last. For us the good news is that usually the non-aggressive disease doesn't usually wake up one day and start doing sprints around the track.
The use of cortisone injections can cool the heals of new nodule growth. It's a way to hold them at bay. I had that done by a Dr. Kline in Oregon five years back and might do so again. It softens them and reduces the pain.
It works.
Find the right MD who "gets it" and you might be pleasantly surprised. Painful as heck though.
