Title: Calcification, any remedy?
Post by: Hrvat21 on May 19, 2020, 07:22:47 AM
What are the possibilities of reversing, fixing real, hard calcified plaque. I tried some traction by hand but there are almost no results as it seems like plaque is blocking penis extension. Is at the point of having a hard calcified plaque no other option than surgery? Or could traction and ved stil help and possibly restore size or reverse deformity?

Traction has shown to be helpful for some calcified plaques--but no where near as effective against non-calcified plaque.  If you want to attack it with traction--I would do 6-8 hours a day OR 30-60" a day with Restorex.

Supplements/vitamins/minerals that are "antidotes" to calcification can help. 
Oral or/and - I personally used them in combination with a transdermal agent and softened my plaques rather fast.(explained in signature link) 
I assume, at least in my case, the plaques are not necessarily completely calcified but their "shell" is.

for those who can't afford the Restorex (including me) it seems improvising an equivalent would be a worthwhile project. I've read on PE forums that tunica stretching is almost impossible without a two hand stretch. Perhaps with all linear extenders the suspensory ligament is the limiting factor and what is primarily being stretched. Perhaps all that is necessary is interposing a fulcrum and modifying the angle of the retention mechanism. Perhaps if the pivot could spare any undue compression on the urethra that might be ideal.  Some high density foam construction could be ideal.

I've got calcified plaque as well as contracted graft, so double whammy.  I would give Restorex a go if I could reliably get it in the Uk.

Yes, that's what I did. I used mostly hard stuff like a pencil placed 'horizontal'/right angle to the 2 vertical extender 'legs'.
I placed it on the other side of curve/plaque to create a stretch to the plaque.
But note that this means that you can use the extender for less time as it messes with the circulation. 1 set of normal extending for me was 30min.-60min. I used a fulcrum maybe 10-20 minutes inbetween.

The RestoreX seems to have this feature 'build in'. Never used a restoreX though and the way it crushes the glans seems weird but IDK.

do you thinkbusing dsmo could help plaques that are in perineum and the base of the penis, so under skin level

I guess its possible that apply dmso(mixed with other supplements which of course you have to understand how to use cause of some dangers -thread in sig) there or at the penis from where it dilutes into the body, could have an effect.
