Not me either Bill. I've had the contracture for years and haven't smoked
since 1966. My doc said it could be operated on but it doesn't bother me.
I thought it was a callous from using a screwdriver too much but he said
"nope". He didn't mention heredity. I don't have siblings. $2500 seems
steep unless it really bothers.

Jim,
Thanks for the advice, but that ain't me, babe. I stopped smoking
cigarettes in 1978, stopped drinking (again) earlier this year, and I have
taken megadoses of vitamins for decades. (Right now a max dosage multiple
vit/min., plus 1g C, 500mg magnesium daily plus others.)
I don't know what resource you researched, but none of what you say is
correct. DC is an inherited condition, through the mother (she has it) to
male heirs only (2 brothers do too), of predominantly northern European
descent (we're Irish). I also have used my hands a lot, since I'm a
lifelong daily journalist/writer.
The surgery technique is brutal, essentially ripping the palms and fingers
open and stripping off the fibrous tumors, and then stitching it back up.
Takes many months for full restoration of use. HOWEVER, there are
several doctors in the U.S. who have learned a relatively new French
technique which is done as outpatient office procedures. The doctor I'm
seeing is in Idaho, an ER surgeon, and he was a DC victim who found this
French technique. It's done with local anesthetic and reportedly has
little down time. It will be a $2500 office visit.
That said, I'd still like to do it by taking potassium magnesium, and vit.
c, or anything else for that matter, which might preclude surgery from
being a necessity, which it is fast approaching. CS doesn't help.
(Mandatory CS reference.)

i did research on the 'net for this disease for a friend. he had already
had the operation on one hand, and the other was curling. he also was
having heart arrythmia's. he drank a lot, and smoked. basically, all of
his health issues pointed at a defficiency of potassium, magnesium,
vitamin c. you can lead a horse to water, as the saying goes. he just had
the second hand operated on. google it, and search all your health sites.

Does anyone on either list have any experience/remedies for Dupuytren's
Contracture?
(It's a relatively benign hereditary condition in which the tendons to
the fingers become covered with fibrous tumors, which cause the fingers
to bend, or contract, eventually into a curl.)
I'm facing surgery for this condition in the fall, and would like to
know of any holistic treatments possible.
TIA, Bill Missett
