 Disappointing Mar 28, 2009
By John Dodd
"Everything is OK in Tokyo"
There is virtually no information in print on Peyronie's Disease, a debilitating disease with a significant negative effects on the quality of life of (probably) millions of middle-aged men. I find this amazing that no one has tried to fill this obvious gap in medical knowledge.
When I saw Herazy's book, I thought this was a great first step into legitimizing alternative therapies for treatment. What I found instead was a disappointing and extended discussion of everything EXCEPT the oral vitamin supplementation therapies used to treat the disease. It became quickly obvious that this book is a weak attempt to promote a supplement called Neprinol and an associated website.
Most of what took 162 pages to publish could have been covered in 10-20 pages. The rest is an amateurish discourse on lifestyle which may or may not have anything to do with Peyronies, and which anyone, even with no medical credentials, could write.
If Herazy really wants to help men deal with this disease, rather than make a quick buck, he should make an honest effort to sit down and try again, covering specific supplement treatments, looking at medical studies and decoding them for those of us who are not doctors.
Unfortunately this field is full of get-rich-quick types, and right now, Herazy comes across as one of these people. Don't waste your money on this book. You can find more information of better quality on the Internet for free.

 Sensitive and Thoughful Sep 25, 2009
By cjay
"cjay"
I enjoyed reading this author's account of his own struggle with PD and the hope he brings to other sufferers of this non-lethal disease. Theodore Herazy brings sense and sensibility to a problem up to 10% of the male population deals with sometime in their lifetime. This is an astounding statistic given the lack of understanding and treatment options offered by conventional medicine. Dr. Herazy helps to demystify Peyronie's disease and offers a comprehensive look at how to approach it from a holistic perspective. He breaks down the most mundane aspects of how a male handles his penis to insure that no further injury occurs as one progresses towards a cure as well as how to make the necessary life style changes that will support this process. There is also a free website that offers more background information and details on the supplement regime he recommends so there is ample support for those who wish to dig deeper. This book can stand alone or be a good first look at how to cope with and begin the healing process from this dreaded disease.
