After your three months plus experience with traction, is there anything you wish you knew when you first started?

Dear all, I don't know if it's a coincidence - however, I seem to have solved my peyronie's problem since I started a sugar-free low carb diet. I have been on this diet for the past five months and I feel I turned back in time by five years since my problem started. All the pain vanished and the willy is more straight when erect now. I just read the following article below and wonder whether this has anything to do with the collagenase treatment.

Just wanted to share with you my experience and wonder whether the diet is actually the solution to the problem.


Sugar has been proven to be responsible for the creation of AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) when it binds to proteins.

AGEs are key players in skin aging.

AGEs don't just float around in our bodies. We have specific receptors called RAGE that receive them. The activation of these receptors triggers oxidative stress and inflammation.

Guess what?

We have RAGE receptors in our dermis!

AGEs affect the removal of old collagen from the skin; in fact, glycated collagen leads to a decreased transformation of collagen III fibers into collagen I.

Decreased collagen turnout is responsible for the loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation.

Avoiding sugar will help you limit and slow down the glycation process which is a physiological one.

The Retorex device does help also with erection quality. It is the continued dedication and consistency that will yield the best results for you. Also remember that you can also try using the makeup pads to help hold your glans in the clamp housing if you are having difficulty.

Day 1

I just got implanted with a titan from Dr. Hakky. It cost $23000 out of pocket (insurance didn't cover it).

The surgery was so quick, one minute they were having me lie on the table and the next minute I woke up implanted with hardly any pain. The lidocane and pain meds are keeping the pain at 2/10.

He upsized me to a 26cm which I hope doesn't cause problems for me down the road but after feeling so awful about my penis for so many years I got greedy and said F it let's upsize.

He said he could put the pump high up to make it less noticeable but I said it's fine to put it low because then the controls are easier to reach. Hopefully that doesn't mean it will hang too ridiculously low since I'm going to try to be discrete about being bionic downstairs  .


I will post more as things progress! 

I also take testosterone and hcg. I started to notice a significant difference in my erection quality shortly after starting hcg. Not sure if its related or not to the progess I've made.

Quote from: sammysosa17 on Yesterday at 02:56:39 PMGlad to hear about your positive results. How much of curve do you/did you have? Also is your curve downwards? Upwards?

I curve to the right and slightly down. When I started I think I was around 30 degrees or just passed the 2 on a clock.It might have been a little worse. I used to take pictures but when I would look at them they would really upset me so I deleted.

I also pump. I normally would be stuck to the right side of the pump as soon as I get in it. I do still touch the right side but not near as much as I did. 

thymosin beta 4

Glad to hear about your positive results. How much of curve do you/did you have? Also is your curve downwards? Upwards?

I've started consistently using the ResoreX device for 3 days now. The first two days I did 2 twenty minute sessions. My curve is downwards so I did the first half of the session straight and the second half bent upwards. Until yesterday I didn't know how to use the device and I was just stretching by moving the device upwards until I reached the max number of clicks. I visited Dr. Trost's website and saw that you can push the device down which releases tension. I tried that for the first time yesterday and my penis is feeling a bit sore. Not sure if soreness is a usual side effect of using the device properly. In just the 3 days of using it I've notice a big difference in erection quality. I'm waking up with really solid erections. I took some pictures yesterday and compared them to the pics I took back in February. Everything looks pretty much the same. I don't expect to see results this quickly, but I am at least glad that nothing seems to have gotten worse.
I did notice that I was getting erections less frequently and they didn't seem to be solid. I had avoided masturbating for the most part over the last month (probably only did it 4 times total). I'm relived to be having solid erections at this point.
Someday I would like to get Xiaflex injections but I don't think my plaque is concentrated enough for it to be effective. I don't really feel a lump where my curve is. My thought is that I have lots of small plaques in the area rather than one big one.
Any comments or questions would be greatly appreciated. I intent to be updating this thread frequently with updates.

My last few posts were about me considering selling my restorex.

 I'm so glad I didn't.  I wasn't using it correctly. Once I did use it the right way I started to see an improvement in my curve to the right. My curve starts very low. When I was using it I would go to the 2nd click and when I would, the following morning my curve was worse.

 Once I started only going to the first click it wasn't worse in the mornings and my erection quality got better. I now have been using it consistently at the first click for 4 months or so and seeing a noticeable difference.  This has been a huge moral booster for me and has made me in general a happier person.

I do use it a little more than prescribed and I never miss a day. I look forward to using it now.

I also have a pmp and haven't used it in months.

I felt like i have a responsibility to share this experience especially since I was a bit jaded about the device before and talked about selling it because it was having a negative impact on me.

So glad I didn't sell it.
