Interesting. I've just started Chanca Piedra and Magnesium (because Chanca Piedra is quite constipating). I'll add some Braggs apple cider vinegar to my daily program and hope for the best. Thanks. I've seen Chanca Piedra topical, but it's expensive.

Quote from: tsp on March 21, 2024, 09:40:16 AMI wasn't aware of first generation devices being better for Peyronie's. Peyronie's plaque responds to large forces - which the first generation devices are unable to provide.

What I meant is that assume there are 30 men using a 1st generation traction device for their peyronies disease.
If 10 of those men had an upward curve, whereas the other 20 had curves in a different direction, the 10 men who had an upward curve would likely get better results than the other 20 men, due to upward curves responding better to straight traction than curves in other directions.

I was not trying to imply any superiority of 1st gen devices over 2nd gen.

I take about 6,000 IU a day over-the-counter.

Also, 20 minutes of full body sun at solar noon will raise your serum levels faster than supplements.

Penile Implants / Re: Suppleness and softness.

Keep in mind that NOTHING is removed during implant surgery.  Two cylinders are added to the cavernosa.

If what you are feeling is scar tissue of the tunica, that is unlikely to change a lot.  If what you are feeling is a contraction of the tunica, that is likely to relax as it is stretched out from the constant presence of the cylinders. 

Maybe others who experienced something similar to this prior to the implant will respond.

I will repeat, however, if you cannot get and maintain an erection suitable for satisfying intercourse, you will get an implant AND there is a 98% chance you will never spend one minute regretting it IF you pick a great high-volume surgeon.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to suffer so much...

How are you doing now? Any improvements?

Definitely try the makeup pads as this makes using the Restorex so much easier. There is a complete description with photos here --> Makeup Pads .

Quote from: tsp on March 20, 2024, 07:52:32 PMCounter-bending is not very important for upward curvature, straight stretch will get you most, if not all, of the benefits. Counter-bending is useful for all other directions, such as your curve to the left.

I have also read this, I believe this is why some men got great results with 1st gen traction devices compared to others - because the straight out traction of 1st gen devices is better for upward curves compared to other directions and thus guys with upward curves got better results.

Quote from: Mikel7 on March 20, 2024, 05:35:29 AMSo if I understand what you are saying you have no problem with straight traction. Your issue is with the counter bending function with the Restorex. The photo shows that you have buried the white lines which is good, but you have a lot of pain with counter bending. It appears that you have very good tension on your bend, you still have not unlocked it. I would bring this question to Dr Trost's board and see what his response is since he is the creator of it. You must first have 5 meaningful postings first to do that though.

Thank you so much for the explanation, I will try my best to contribute as much as I can, and hopefully get the help i needed :D
