Dupuytrens Treatment -
Non-drug and Non-surgical

Dupuytrens treatment using non-drug and non-surgical Alternative Medicine enjoys a growing popularity for several reasons:

1) Alternative Dupuytrens treatment is generally safe, with minimal and minor side-effects that are easily avoided by adjustment of dosage of supplements. This contrasts greatly with serious side-effects that occur with every prescription drug that is used for Dupuytrens contracture.
2) Conservative Dupuytrens treatment makes sense. Considerable science explains how these alternate treatments advocated on the DCI website might favorably influence the Dupuytren’s thickening. The DCI website describes Dupuytrens contracture in detail, and explains the alternate treatment products used to treat it.
3) The natural methods of improving and supporting the function and health of the immune system appeals to most people.
4) Surgery, the only medical “sure cure” for Dupuytrens contracture is not very appealing to most people, with complications and side-effects reported in 20% of surgeries. Residual pain, loss of finger dexterity, and recurrence of additional hand contractures after surgery can and do happen. It is the opinion of DCI that it makes more sense to first use a conservative approach with natural therapies before attempting surgical repair.
5) Standard medical treatment of Dupuytrens contracture initially is to do nothing but monitor the disease process, to assess just how limited finger movement will become. DCI feels that this is a waste of valuable treatment time during which the contracted tissue s most likely to respond to conservative care.

Alternative therapy tends to be directed to the overall health of the individual, and less directed to a particular disease or area of the body For example, when vitamin C or zinc is taken for a cold, the intent is to improve the health and integrity of the immune system throughout the body, not to merely mask symptoms in the nose or chest. Dupuytrens treatment with vitamin E or MSM, or other useful remedy, are taken to increase the health and tissue resistance of the entire person.

Dupuytrens alternate treatments endorsed by DCI, because they display sufficient science, general acceptance, and research to support their use:

1. Vitamin E Perhaps the most important of all scar reduction therapies. Reported to reduce plaque and fibrous tissue infiltration in damaged arterial walls. Studies suggest it can reduce scar and fibrous tissue buildup in other parts of the body. 75% worldwide application as a first-line treatment of Dupuytrens contracture and Peyronies disease. .
2. MSM (Methylsulfonyl methane) Alters soft tissue structure in a scar.
3. PABA (Para-aminobenzoic acid) Reported to have an anti-fibrotic (anti-scar) effect in the body, and for this reason it is used to treat certain skin conditions in which fibrosis, inelasticity or thickening of the skin occurs. .
4. Carnitine Used to treat other medical conditions in which scar formation is an important component of the illness, thus strong association with other fibrous tissue conditions.
5. Systemic enzymes – serrapeptase, nattokinase, bromelain, etc. Using several forms of “fiber tissue eating” enzymes are extremely popular against scar tissue. .
6. Quercetin Improves and normalizes the collagen (soft tissue framework) at the site of injury. Research reports that it can be used to limit excessive scar tissue.,
7. Homeopathy Exciting reports of homeopathic products reducing scar infiltration and normalizing healing of injured soft tissue.
8. DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) One of the stars of any broad-base Dupuytrens program. Used to enhance absorption of copper and vitamin E into the scar tissue area.
9. Copper Essential in the tissue remodeling phase after excess scar tissue has formed, often seen to occur in a copper deficiency.
10. Acupuncture DCI’s acupuncturist devised a system to bring advanced acupuncture treatment for at-home use. The simple technique we offer can be learned quickly with the instructions that DCI includes with each set of Genesen Acutouch pointers. Anyone with Dupuytrens contracture can follow his treatment program easily at home with minimal loss of time or expense.
11. Massage Essential to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and what the Chinese would call the circulation of Chi. This CD demonstrates Oriental methods of improving circulation of blood and energy flow to the hands.
12. Exercise It is vital to maintain good blood flow and lymphatic drainage to improve tissue health and repair. Our CD will show you how to gain strength and increase flexibility of hand, wrist and forearm muscles.
