Promising treatment for Dupuytren's Contracture.

[RicROC]

After years of trying different remedies to slow down the Dupuytren's Contracture of my hands, particularly the left, I finally found something that is working. Serrapeptase capsules!- an enzyme from silkworms.

I have been only using them for 4 weeks and see improvement on the right hand which has much more mild and recent development. But comparing photos I do even see improvement of the left hand which has a head start of 20 years. My hands do not seem tight upon waking up in the morning. While I do not see a decrease in the angle of contraction of the left hand, I have been able to do some stretching excercises. The right hand does not need any stretching.

I understand that 3 capsules (120,000 IU) are the maximum recommended daily dose, but this enzyme also thins the blood and because of body bruising, I had to cut down to 2 capsules. Because of that, I have deleted 80 mg aspirin and Fish Oil Tabs from my diet. I have had no other side effects.

This self-treatment has excited me so much that I have eMailed and sent before and after photo to my Primary Care Physician.

This posting is not a recommendation that you should self-treat with Serrapeptase. It is only my experience.

1. That's wonderful!

How did you hear about it?

6. someone from Facebook.

on the Chevy Volt group, someone mentioned Serrapeptase as an anti-inflammatory with many other benefits including decreasing cholesterol deposits. So, I did some research to find out IF it might help DC. Well, it helps me.

Right hand is fine. The left hand is another story. Thanks for posting this info.

My dad had it in both hands. His doctor operated on both hands multiple times, which is now known to be the worst thing to do. After all the surgeries, he was barely able to use his hands at the end of his life.

I’ve been told that it’s more common in men but my brother doesn’t have it and I do. Go figure.

I even have a few nodules in the arch of my left food. Those were really painful when they first showed up.

5. It's a dominant hereditary disease.

My maternal grandfather’s hands were super bad. My mother had nearly nothing. Mine erupted on the left after ulnar tunnel surgery.

Totally agree that surgery is the worse choice. There is an injection treatment and I had this done at UCI Medical Center. Better, but not great results.

7. I had injections once.

Damn, that was painful and it didn’t help much. Never again.

4. That sounds promising.

I had my my fingers straightened using Xiaflex almost 10 years ago. I have a droop in one finger and very noticeable cords and nodules, but so far not much contracture.

I hope this continues to work for you.
