Dupuytren's contracture:
This condition may not be known by name, although it is quite common. With this condition, the tissues or tendons of the fingers or palms of the hands become thickened and shortened. The fingers may become trapped in a ventilation condition. This will possibly affect the hand or both, and thus the Plumbum Met can be of great help in any of these cases.
What are the other health benefits of plumbum metallicum? The homeopathic remedy is also used for diseases that harden tissues, such as arteriosclerosis, and Dupuytren's contracture - a disorder that affects one or both hands.
3. Dupuytren's contracture
Dupuytren's contracture is a deformity of the hand that will form over many years. Plumbum metallicum is considered one of the main remedies for the prevention and treatment of Dupuytren contracture.
In the condition, the tendons or tissues of the palms or fingers are shortened and thickened. The tissue nodes will form under the skin and will eventually create a thick cord that can pull a finger or more into a curved position. In addition, one or both hands may be affected and the affected fingers can not be completely straightened. The most commonly affected fingers include the ring finger, the little finger and the middle finger, which makes everyday activities such as shaking hands or putting on more difficult gloves.
Massaging the affected area will improve the symptoms, but trying to grasp smooth objects will make them worse.
Not sure of homeopathic remedies, doesn't this substance contain lead? :-\
What is your thinking and application for peyronie's specifically?? ???

Homeopathy is always BS.
How Does Homeopathy Work? (http://www.howdoeshomeopathywork.com/)
Please people do not waste your money on homeopathy.
There are cases in which pirfenidone has helped a lot with dupuytren. Has anyone tried it for Peyronie's?
Note to all:
DC = Dupuytren's Contracturre. Peyronies Disease = Peyronie's Disease. LH = Lederhosen.
All three of these diseases/disorders, as they may be called, are related in that they do present similar conditions to one's body.
Since my early years I have been afflicted with at least two of them, Peyronies Disease and lately DC. My Peyronies Disease was battled since the age of 24, now in somewhat remission. This DC case required a serious cutting surgery of my left hand several years ago to release the damaged cords that had formed. This surgery required several months of extensive rehab to overcome.
About 5 years ago, my right hand developed the same conditions. In both cases the fingers on both hands the middle and ring fingers were drawn tight to almost my hand body. This last bout of DC was over come in a procedure room of my hand surgeon in about a 15 minute procedure. This involved of using a local anesthia and almost immediately the operation began without any pain, just deadened hand.
The surgeon used what he called a needle scalpel to release the cord that held both the middle and ring fingers almost to the closed position. I walked into the procedure room in that condition and 15 minutes later walked out with a completely straightened hand. This required only the local anesthia.
The procedure could be called a miracle compared to the 4 months surgery recovery on the left hand. Todate this last case has not returned after two months recovery with no pain.
I have no idea if this procedure is available at any other country in the world. However, if any member has a severe case of DC they should explore finding a surgeon who is qualified to do it find one quickly. DC symptoms severely handicap a person in just trying to grip a cup or tumbler to drink or use either hand just for everyday chores using either hand.
The above is given as information about these conditions. And,that there is now a very simple solution to correct them.
Best regards to all DC/Peyronies Disease/LH sufferers.

We also have to remember that Xiaflex was marketed to treat Dupuytren's contracture too. As a matter of fact, I believe that it was first intended for DC's treatment and its usage was later extendend to Peyronie's patients. I don't know if it's used for Ledderhose's disease too, but it's certainly used for DC. I would try it out for DC if I had it, before undergoing any kind of surgery. Afterall, getting the palm of your hand injected seems to be a lot less scary to me than getting the same treatment for the penis.
Finally, and in conclusion, I still advice against any kind of homeopathic treatment. There's no point in wasting money (especially in cases like these ones).
Great information Old Man, thank you so much.
As I have stated, a study last year showed that 50% of men with Dupuytren's have diabetes. That means that likely 90% or more have high insulin in the body, which increases tgf-beta, ROS, and mitochondrial function, leading to fibrosis. Keep insulin down.
I am thinking that Peyronie as well as Dupuytren, are diseases caused by a nerve injury, in the case of Peyronie the injury is in the nerve "PUDENDO". Forget the names "Peyronie and Dupuytren" and focus on a LOCATED SCLEROSIS caused by a NEURITE or NEURALGIA.
NEVRITE or NEURITE or NEURALGIA
Nevritis is an inflammation and degeneration of the nerve characterized by pain, paresis, tremors or contractures, psychic disturbances, atrophies and trophic disturbances of the skin and other tissues, and may be caused by trauma, cooling or by an infectious acute illness (diphtheria, smallpox , typhus, impaludism, influenza, rheumatism, scarlet fever, measles) or in poisoning (alcohol, mercury, arsenic, lead, etc.).
As for the causes, these can be: mechanical, vascular, infectious, toxic and metabolic.
The symptoms are: sensory, motor and vasomotor.
1- Traumatic:
2- Cooling or trauma:
3- Acute diseases:
4- With muscle atrophy:
5- Alcoholic:
6- Palustre:
7- Post-diphtheria:
I had extreme nerve issues as you may know, causing facial pain and numbness and hand and feet pain. I eliminated all of those issues by stopping carbohydrates and eating as a normal human should eat, or a monkey for that matter.
Neuropathy is caused by autoimmune disorders, and insulin / blood sugar. In some cases, viruses causes nephropathy. Fasting or a low carb diet restores the immune system and lowers insulin and blood sugars. I certainly had a lot of nerve problems...
