Living with Peyronie's Disease

In professional medical sources such as “Urology” and “Journal of Urology” there is a growing awareness that Peyronie’s can be viewed as an autoimmune disease. In my experience ([moderator note: contact information has been removed]) Peyronie’s is caused by inhaling carcinogenic chemical fumes that chemically cross-link proteins in the erectile nasal turbinates, biochemically rearranging antigenic determinants called epitopes. Once the body’s white blood cells falsely “learn” to attack the rearranged self-(nasal)-cells because they appear foreign [similar to what happens on the skin with poison oak and urushiol or pentadecacatechol], then the false attacking of erectile tissue in nasal turbinates leads to cross-reactive white blood cell attack against the biochemically similar erectile tissue in the penis. It is sort of like the immune system’s white blood cells learning to attack streptococcus proteins following a throat infection, then cross-reacting to attack similar proteins in heart valves or knee joints to produce rheumatic fever.

What to do for a treatment? I have tried hundreds of treatments, and found what works well is repeated frequent vaccination with MMR-II (mumps-measles-rubella) shots. Once the white blood cells are chasing true foreign-invader material more, they attack my own normal cells in the nose and penis less, and repeated vaccination works without any bad side effects to alleviate Peyronie’s and nasal swelling. A person needs to NOT be immunocompromised or sensitive to vaccine-constituents to do this (see CDC=Centers for Disease Control, Vaccine Information Statement available on-line via U.S. Dept. Health & Human Services). Dosage: start with one shot per month, then every two weeks, then once a week, then twice a week, then daily. Once you get to daily dosage, you can mix in varicella (chicken-pox shots) like Varivax, ProQuad, and/or Zostavax. I am 55, but the ProQuad (supposedly for little kids) and Zostavax (supposedly for people over 60) work fine and are harmless in my experience as well as being beneficial. If you start to get head colds too easily, you are overdosing MMR and overloading your immune system, so simply reduce the frequency of dosage. There may be other causes of Peyronie’s than autoimmune hyperactivity of white blood cells, but in my experience if the white blood cells are attacking viruses more they are attacking me less. Many people, even doctors, are afraid of vaccines because of weird scare stories. Supposedly, 1 or 10 people in a million, or less, can have bad vaccine reactions, but since a million people with no vaccine exposure have the same symptoms with the same frequency, you can’t really say the vaccines “caused” the symptoms. All I know is that the more injections I receive of MMR and the varicella material, the better my symptoms improve.
