According to an article posted on Friday, March 7, 2008, the Washington University
in Saint Lewis-Department of Surgery, Division of Urology conducted a survey of
urologists to determine how they would treat a patients who presented themselves
with Peyronies Disease. The survey posed hypothetical’s of four men with varying
symptoms related to their Peyronies. Vitamin E was the preferred initial
management for 70% of the respondents. As part of their medical practice, a
majority of these urologists performed surgery on patients with Peyronies.
Write on the blackboard 100 times: there is no evidence that Vitamin E
works for Peyronies.
In a well researched article that appeared in the 01 June 2006 issue of European
Urology, the author concludes there is no evidence that Vitamin E has a significant
effect on the symptoms of Peyronies. A completed placebo-controlled, double-
blind, crossover study (the absolute gold standard) demonstrated no superior effect
of Vitamin E as compared to a placebo. Another study failed to note any effect of
Vitamin E on the natural course of this disease.
In a rather misleading article, a recent Cable News Network story noted that
researchers have reported improvements in Peyronies disease when Vitamin E is
taken orally. The researchers or the studies are never identified. Fortunately, the
article does go on to state that Vitamin E's effectiveness has not been proven in
controlled studies.
It is frightening to think that these men and woman of science prescribe
Vitamin E as a first line treatment without any proof of its effectiveness. What's even
more frightening is that they perform penile surgery. Please look at the email sent to
me by one of my readers concerning his surgery. This is the sort of dogma and
medical mistreatment that drove Ignaz Semilweiss to the insane asylum.
If you think, there is nothing to lose by going to the pharmacy and buying some
Vitamin E capsules, keep reading.
(BBC News) A U.S. Study of 77,000 people found taking 400 milligrams per day of
Vitamin E long-term increased long term lung cancer risk by 28% - with smokers at
particular risk. The researchers extrapolated their findings and concluded that over
a decade there was an additional 7% in risk for every 100 milligrams taken per day.
The Vitamin E trend was most prominent among smokers, but was not confined to
them.
