Jan and TM,

While I share your concerns that diet is an important topic not only for DC suffers but everyone in general, I think that discussion would be better relegated to a separate topic. This topic concerns the discussion of NA.

Interesting comment by Tubiana in preface of Tubiana's(et al) book, Dupuytren's Disease (2000).

"The progress in our knowledge of the nature of collagen in Dupuytren's disease, in particular, has permitted two of the authors of this book to embark on the use of local injections of Clostridial collagenase, resulting in the lysis of the collagen cord and so allowing its rupture. The results of this method have been spectacular according to both the authors and patients. Can one therefore say that surgery will be totally abandoned? This will depend on the results of current clinical research, which will define the limits of medical treatment by eventual contraindications, by its efficacy in the presence of longstanding joint contractures and by its preventative effect on recurrence.
It appears that we are now close to solving a problem that has impassioned generations of researchers and surgeons."

He (Tubiana) indicates that there is considerable research being presently done on Dupuytren's Disease.

What if we all came into the forum like you-know-who and claimed to know sooooooooooo many surgeons and soooooooo many attorneys and soooooooooo many friends who have DC. Now who would we sound like?

Hello Mike K.
I wonder what made you decide to go to another doctor the second time.
Could you give me dr.Rapapport's contact details? I live in Italy and Switzerland would be closer for me.

Is anyone aware of NA being performed in Italy?
Thanks for reply and best regards,
Tony

has dr. spacek overcome professional objections to doing the needle procedure in montreal? does anyone know?
