”The inventor hypothesizes that an important reason why penis growth slows and stops after several months in all patients he has observed who have enlarged their penises is because the rate of new collagen formed is faster than the rate that it is being removed and that this hypertrophy of the structural collagen fibers which the inventor has observed in all patients whose growth has slowed, must reduce the effectiveness of any further biomechanical stimulation.”
Basing on the above statement, one could think that collagen is produced enough in response to biomechanical stimulation without needing to enhance its production, even more the patent inventor states that it is produced much more and degraded less than what’s needed to sustain continuous growth, so one would actually need to optimize the balance between collagen production and collagen degrading, shifting more towards elements that reduce collagen production or increase its degradation.
Hi, Alin,
The patent inventor is stating what this board has already discovered, sort of, and that is that early gains are much more common than ongoing growth. This board is full of stories to that effect. What he is implying, is that to continue growth, some other form of therapy is needed to tissue remodeling to continue. As to the truth of that as a theory, I believe that it is somewhat true, however, those that have gained more than 1 inch would seem to the be exception to his theory. At the moment, I can’t quantify how many want to grow more than 1” that succeed, and how many fail (with my arbitrary selection of 1” to represent the difference between early gains, versus long term gains). Defining why someone fails is most difficult on this board as we are limited to what the person feels like posting.
As to ” the rate of new collagen formed is faster than the rate that it is being removed and that this hypertrophy of the structural collagen fibers which the inventor has observed in all patients whose growth has slowed, must reduce the effectiveness of any further bio-mechanical stimulation.” and your suggestion that collagen production be reduced, that won’t work. Collagen production is systemic. Should you stop consuming Vitamin C, in about a year or so, you will die a gruesome death from Scurvy. If you significantly reduce Vitamin C production, you will be subject to a number of vascular problems, with the most serious being arterial rupture. So, reducing collagen is not a good idea as your body has to make it.
As to the theory that after some degree of growth, that continuing tension over time becomes ineffective, due to the strengthening of the connective tissue, it makes sense to me to a degree, but does not seem to be an absolute. And of course, this is his proposed validation for using the Chem PE protocols. The basics of his protocol, differs only from what I guess would be called “Standard PE” is that on the chemical side, he is seeking a way to weaken the connective tissue so that “bio-mechanical stimulation” (stretching, mostly) will again become effective. I agree with the theory. The problem them becomes, how does one accomplish that goal.
As to your question about “bio-mechanical stimulation” being the method of creating new collagen, it is not that easy. It certainly will send out signals that collagen needs to be replaced, but the construction of collagen still requires protein, and vitamin C. I realize that this is somewhat of a simplistic response, but it works for our purposes.
With growth being achieved by first causing rupture to the collagen strands due to tension being applied, followed by the body replacing the collagen and strengthening the connective tissue, both the tear down, and rebuilding are necessary. The reason that I mentioned supplementing with Vitamin C as being integral, but to an undefined percentage of people, is my experience with soft tissue injuries that have not healed on their own. In those cases, Vitamin C was the factor that enabled healing. I am guessing that the members of the board are reasonably healthy, and reasonably nourished, however, as the reach of the board is rather wide spread, then perhaps some would benefit from that thought. Certainly growth cannot happen, if the rebuilding of the collagen cannot be accomplished.
In your next post, you mention Relaxin. Certainly if we could get a very good transdermal Relaxin, that would seem to have a great deal of potential. The trick is to get it into the connective tissue, and not merely have the blood take the hormone away before it hits the targeted tissue. Relaxin is critical to child birth. With the help of Relaxin, a vagina that is small enough to be tight around a penis, is then capable of expelling a new born. The down side is that a vagina has a different construction than the penis. The penis is intended to be rigid, and overcome the hydraulic pressure of blood pressure in a cylinder, and the vagina is intended to expand as necessary.
In this effort, the hurdles are the relative rarity of human Relaxin and the difficulty in getting a transdermal substance past the skin, and into the connective tissue. DMSO is probably the greatest carrier around that is available to the masses, yet, it still is mostly dispersed in the blood. This is why you can taste it soon after application. DMSO does penetrate quite far into the body, but determining where it goes, and for how long, is a matter of trial and error.
Verapamil would be a nice tissue degrader (which after causing degradation of the connective tissue, the tissue would be replaced, with a bit extra) but one has the same issue. It has been shown to be somewhat effective in Peyronies, but it is working on the skin mostly in that situation. Getting it past the skin and into the connective tissue is again the challenge.
Well, I guess that this has gone far enough in regards to chemistry. Hope it helps.
