Mike,
Tom M. is right. You are fortunate to have a research
Dr. interested in alternatives. Unfortunately collagenase
is not available yet. You do need to do more research to
learn of other alternatives. Randy is refering to Needle
Aponevrotomy (NA) which is performed in several European
countries, especially in France. Reading the other topics/
threads on the forum is something you should do. I under-
stand though, that it can be tedious and time consuming so
I've listed some websites that will give you a lot of info
also.
http://jvm.com/wstagner/main.htm this is a great
source of info and will answer NA questions.
http://assoc.wanadoo.fr/fbadois-glosommaire.html this
is a Dr. in France who performs NA.
http://www.lynndketchum.com/drketchum.htm This is
a Plastic Surgeon who goes into detail on dupuytrens, injec-
tions, etc.
http://www.emedicine.com/plastic/topic299.htm An overall
good med. website that explains much about this disease.

Best of luck to you, ask questions from all of us other
posters/sufferers. Thanks for your service to our country.
