OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the possible effectiveness of a long-term multimodal medical therapy in patients with Peyronie's disease (Peyronies Disease) we carried out a controlled study on 82 patients diagnosed with Peyronies Disease, whereas in the scientific literature the conservative treatment of this disease is much discussed.

METHODS: 82 Patients (mean age=53.6±10.1 years-range 23-68) diagnosed with Peyronies Disease were selected for this study. Of these 41 patients (group A) were treated for 18 months as follows: Verapamil penile injections (12 total injections for six months and subsequently every month for twelve months: total 24 injections) + Iontophoresis/daily + blueberries 160mg/daily + propolis 600mg/daily +Vit.E 600mg/daily + topical Diclofenac/daily. The other 41 patients spontaneously decided not to receive treatment for several motives and then were introduced as a control group B. All patients were controlled at follow up (6 and 18 months) and underwent the same tests (penile ultrasound, photograph documentation, pain scale etc.) as performed prior to the treatment.

RESULTS: In group A, after treatment of 6 and 18 months, the change in plaque volume consisted in volume reduction= -47.6% and -73.6% respectively, while in group B the change consisted in an increase in plaque volume= +55.7% and +118.7% respectively (p=0.000). In group A, after treatment of 6 and 18 months, improvement of curvature occurred in 76.3% and 81.5% of the cases respectively, while in group B occurred in 2.7% and 8.1% respectively (p< 0.0001).

CONCLUSION: Our results showed that a long-term multimodal medical therapy (Verapamil associated with Propolis, Blueberry, Vitamin E and local Diclofenac) is statistically effective in treating Peyronies Disease, whereas, lower therapeutic responses were obtained after 6 months treatment (medium-term treatment). Furthermore, this study strongly supports the recommendation that the best approach for treating Peyronies Disease is multimodal therapy.

As far as I know it's jus a very mainstream combo therapy sold using a captivating name and supported by some studies who is not a complete dumb know they could mean both everything and anything. It's basically a swindle. As almost anything coming from people like cavallini and all the cheaters and preaches of false science around him..

I guess I already know who you are  :-[
the therapy may help some people so it worth a try. I don't think the foregnein countries , including the US, have better options.
