Hi guys, i last posted in the introduce yourself thread a few weeks ago if you'd like to view my history.
To give you a quick run down i developed Peyronies about 7 months ago. Since then i have been taking a number of oral supplements and up until about a month ago i had almost resigned myself to an implant to correct the curve.
I still have a phone consult booked with Dr Eid next month to discus that option but i'd like to post an update on how my condition has changed over the last month.
When i was first diagnosed with Peyronies (July 2019) i stared taking
Pentox (400mg 3 x daily) along with Cialis (5mg per day) and Vitamin E (1000mg daily) along with Acetyl L-Carnitine and
L-Arginine.
After 3 months i had noticed very little difference, in fact my curve had gotten worse and i had 2 main plaques - 1 on the top of the shaft towards the glans and one on the underside that ran like a thin strip from about midway up to the glans.
I had developed Peyronies quickly - At the start of June last year i had no noticeable curve or symptoms and at the end of July i had the palpable plaques and an upward/left curve of about 30 degrees.
I didn't like the way
Pentox made me feel, so about 2 months ago i stopped taking it. At the time i stopped taking it my curve had worsened and was approx 60-70 degrees with some hinging.
About 6 weeks ago i made some major changes to my diet and over the last month i have seen some noticeable improvements.
The plaques now feel softer, and the one on the underside of my shaft seems to have decreased in size by about 50%.
Here's what i did:
I cut out almost all sugar from my diet and began exercising. I am not an overweight guy, but have been doing high intensity cardio mixed with light weights.
I started loading all my food up (and i really mean loading it up) up with raw ginger, chilli, garlic and lemon grass and switched from Acetyl L-Carnitine to L-Citrulline powder. Before every meal i also have a glass of water with some raw ginger and a teaspoon of L-Citrulline powder.
I take 4000mg of Vitamin C a day and still take 1000mg of high quality Vitamin E. I also take 3000mg of fish oil. I also quit smoking 6 weeks ago.
Over the last few weeks i have noticed that my curve has improved and is now at around 40 degrees. The
plaque on the top used to feel tough, but now does not seem as firm - inflexible when i have an erection and i think this is what is causing the curve to relax.
Up until 6 weeks ago i would estimate i had lost around close to an inch in length, but over the last few weeks this loss seems to have improved as well, and i think that if you included the measurement around the curve then my measurement would now almost be back to what it was pre-peyronies.
I'm going to stick to this regime and will update you all if things continue to improve, but i can say for certain that after 7 months from onset, things got worse up until about 6 weeks ago but there has been a definite improvement since then when i started my new diet and supplement regime.
I'm no doctor, but if i had to take a guess at the main reason for the improvement i would say it is the combination and healing / anti inflammatory properties of the large doses of raw ginger, garlic, chilli, lemon grass and L-Citrulline i'm taking. I still take 5mg of Cialis every night as well.
