It may seem safer to take all these drugs-supplements instead of surgery or x-ray treatment but there is the likely chance that the disease will progress further at which point XRT will be a lot less effective. It seems to be typically American to put more faith in the clerk at the health foods store than a doctor and it satisfies our desire to solve medical problems with a pill, any pill, and the more pills the better. And whether someone is taking the cheaper red rice yeast in a capsule or Lovastatin the impact on your body, good and bad, is likely to be the same.

The diet supplements companies in the USA take advantage of our very lax laws regarding these unregulated products. No way to know about potency or to know about contaminants in what is being sold.

Hypnotherapy for Dupuytrens? And I thought I heard them all...............

No,no, when You wake up, you have forgotten the disease fo 6 - 8 hours, i.e.
for the whole life span that's a "Quality of Live" improvement of about 25%!

Hi Susan,
Turmeric is part of the ginger family and adding that to your diet will probably make a difference as well. I was just diagnosed a few days ago and only my right hand and little finger are affected. I don't want it to get any worse.
I live in Toronto and contacted an herbalist. Here is what he recommended:

"This kind of tissue thickening will probably be helped with PABA and bromelain with some herbs to break down the scar tissue. A short list of herbs to help with connective tissue regeneration would be black walnut,lobelia, marshmallow, mullein, skullcap,gravel root, cranesbill, white oak ,wormwood. This is drunk as an infusion or taken in alcohol tinctures.
This combination is also used as a cream for topical application.
I have no personal experience of dealing with this condition specifically but i have used the above mentioned herbs as a very effective formula in repairing all kinds of injuries.
I hope you will use this programme for at least 6 months to a year before you consider any corrective surgical procedures."

I am going there today and will begin this treatment.

Hi,

I live in Toronto and I was recently diagnosed with level 0 to 1, beside I have it since 2007, just recently it became worst.

I'd like to have the information of the place that you had your treatment.

Thanks
