Homeopathy
Dupuytrens contracture can be treated with homeopathy, as can
other conditions in which a profusion of soft tissue cellular
elements is found.
Description
Discovered by Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is a unique 200
year-old pharmaceutical system of healing that stimulates the
defense system of the body to protect and heal itself, using
only extremely small doses of naturally occurring substances.
Dr. Samuel J. Hahnemann, discoverer of the homeopathic
principle
Homeopathy is particularly popular in France, England, Germany,
Greece, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and South
Africa. Approximately 40% of the French public have used
homeopathic medicines, and 39% of the French physicians have
prescribed the medicines. About 20% of German physicians
occasionally utilize these natural medicines, and 45% of Dutch
physicians consider them effective. According to a survey in the
British Medical Journal, 42% of British physicians surveyed
refer patients to homeopathic physicians, and a New York Times
article reported that visits to British homeopaths is growing
39% a year. Homeopathy is particularly popular in India where
there are over 120 four-year homeopathic medical schools.
Homeopathy is also growing very rapidly in the United States.
Market research shows that sales of homeopathic medicines have
grown at a rate of 10-20% per year during the past ten years.
Dupuytrens contracture Connection
Here is something of extreme importance to Dupuytrens
contracture: A research study found,(1) “The effect of
homeopathic plant extract solutions on the cell proliferation of
human cutaneous fibroblasts in vitro”. Did you notice that key
word in the title, “fibroblast”? As you will recall, fibroblasts
are a specialized type of connective tissue cell found in every
organ and tissue; they are cellular protein-making factories
that produce the various connective tissue elements (as found in
a scar). Fibroblasts are found in abundance, over abundance,
during the early stages of Dupuytrens contracture. That means
this study has some relevance to scar formation, and Dupuytrens
contracture, in a big way. This research project identified 11
homeopathic plant remedies that were capable of slowing or
reducing fibroblast cell growth. By slowing fibroblast cell
growth, this study demonstrates the possibility of altering
production and composition of the cellular foundation of scar
material with a homeopathic preparation
A second study reports that homeopathy can influence tissue
repair.(2) This one suggests that an arnica homeopathic remedy
reduced the hematoma (bruise) and pain during postoperative
recovery, as well as overall improvement of tissue healing. The
ability of a homeopathic preparation to improve tissue repair
and healing is important in a potential application to
Dupuytrens contracture and Peyronie’s disease.
Homeopathy is an energy-based therapy that has been used on
plants, animals, children and adults for over 200 years. There
is medical controversy about the ability of homeopathy to
influence health and healing. The Lancet and other medical
publications of high regard have published information favorable
to homeopathy. The Queen of England has her own personal
homeopath. Walgreen’s and other drug stores now sell homeopathic
formulas right along with all the other approved medications.
There is a trend of acceptance for homeopathy that says a lot.
 
Dupuytrens contracture sufferers reduce the dense
fibrous tissue build-up by taking
the homeopathic formula, Dupy-X,
that was specially formulated for DCI
While there is evidence that
homeopathy does not work, there is evidence that it does work.
Some MDs scoff at it, while other MDs never use conventional
drugs and use homeopathic therapy exclusively.
Sometimes it is difficult to know
exactly what to do. Sometimes you just have to try things and
see what happens, after doing your best to investigate and
educate yourself. Adding a homeopathic therapy to your treatment
plan adds an inexpensive and wider energy-based therapy to your
Dupuytrens effort.
Homeopathy Recommendation
Research has been done that demonstrates patients who are
treated with homeopathy have a high satisfaction rate with the
results of their treatment.(3) In this particular study patients
were 95% fairly or very satisfied with their treatment.
Please investigate the subject of homeopathy to your
satisfaction. If after doing so you wish to try homeopathy for
your Dupuytrens contracture, there is a special formula that DCI
has commissioned exclusively for the symptomatic treatment of
Dupuytrens contracture and scar tissue. DCI is using the same
young, knowledgeable and talented homeopath who created our
successful “Scar-X” formula for PDI. This product for Dupuytrens
contracture is simply called “Dupuy-X”. You will not find Dupuy-X
available anywhere else, it is our exclusive formula.
Homeopathic remedies are extremely safe when taken as directed.
Like all homeopathic remedies it is easy to take and easy to
transport in liquid form. Adding Scar-X to your treatment plan
could be an easy way to inexpensively and simply broaden your
treatment plan, and further increase your odds for success.
Suggested Homeopathic Therapy
Here is how to take Dupuy-X:
• Place 5-10 drops of liquid
directly under the tongue.
• Hold liquid on the floor of the mouth for at least 30 seconds,
then swallow.
• Take 2-3 times per day.
Nothing else should be put in the
mouth for 20 minutes before or after taking your formula, not
even toothpaste or cigarettes. While you are treating your
Dupuytrens contracture with homeopathy avoid coffee, mint,
peppermint and preparations containing menthol, eucalyptus and
camphor, as these can interfere with the action of the
homeopathic remedy.
If you travel, do not let the homeopathic remedy go through an
X-ray detector.
Acute or recent complaints tend to respond more quickly than
chronic or longstanding complaints. Be patient! Every case is
different, and no two people are alike.

Dupuytrens contracture and
Peyronie’s disease connection
There are many statistical and clinical similarities between
Dupuytrens contracture and Peyronie’s disease. So much so, that
there is even a connection between treatment that has benefited
one condition being also potentially beneficial for the other.
Because of this, it is common to learn from men who are being
treated with a PDI therapy program for their Peyronie’s disease
that their concurrent Dupuytrens contracture is also improving.
Want to learn more technical information on this subject?
The sister organization for the Dupuytrens Contracture Institute
(DCI)
is the Peyronie’s Disease Institute (PDI).
There are many statistical and pathophysiological similarities
between these two conditions, that the same group of doctors who
created PDI
have also developed
DCI.
Many men who have Peyronie’s disease note that their Dupuytrens
contracture also improves. Therefore, there appears to be a
natural confluence of interest between these two problems. What
can be said for one problem can be said of the other, especially
in terms of treatment.
