I have been reading a lot in the forums and researching things elsewhere and have come to the conclusion that their are several different types of PE which have scientific evidence to support them.
1. Ligament stretching with heat
The following information has been summarized from Chapter 9 of Therapeutic Heat and Cold, Fourth Edition, Editors Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin, or concluded from data gathered there.
Tissues heated to 45 degrees Celsius and then stretched exhibit a non-elastic residual elongation of about 0.5 to 0.9 percent that persists after the stretch is removed. This does not occur in these same tissues when stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Therefore 20 stretching sessions can produce a 10 to 18 percentage increase in length of tissues heated and stretched.
Stretching of tissue in the presence of heat would be especially valuable in working with ligaments, joint capsules, tendons, fasciae, and synoviurn that have become scarred, thickened, or contracted. Such stretching at 45 degrees Celsius caused much less weakening in stretched tissues for a given elongation than a similar elongation produced at normal tissue temperatures.
Experiments cited clearly showed low-force stretching could produce significant residual elongation when heat is applied together with stretching or range-of-motion exercises.
Infrared heat appears to be the most suitable as it penetrates the tissue more deeply. I am currently using a Thermotex infrared heat pad.
Ligaments are very tough tissues and it would seem that moderate to heavy weight hanging is probably the best method to elongate the ligaments
There are a number of substances/supplements that are reported to prevent or at least hinder collagen cross linking( which makes tissues tougher and further stretching more difficult).
Supplements
1. Alpha Lipoic Acid
2. PABA (4-Aminobenzoic acid)
3. Nettle Root Extract
4. Low dose aspirin
5. Green Tea Extract
6. Combined Vitamins C and E
Transdermal gel
1. DMSO
2. Cell growth through traction.
There are now a number of studies that show the effectiveness of penis extenders, either the traditional spring loaded arm type or the elasticated Phallosan belt type. Just search for medical study penis enlargenement and you will find them.
There are also other types of tissue enlargement products (Such as the BRAVA non surgical breast enlargement products) that use the same methodology.
It does not require a great deal of force to stimulate cell growth, but it does require extended periods of application.
Noose type extenders are very difficult to wear for long enough, so vacuum extenders either spring loaded arm or elasticated belt type would appear to be the best method. Although a leg strap would also seem to fit the bill. Wearing for 10 hours or more 7 days a week is recommended, i.e. an ADS or all day stretcher.
3. Cell growth through extended periods of high internal pressure.
This may be a variation on cell growth through traction, but the exact mechanism appears to be unknown. This includes techniques such as clamping, pumping, edging and the most common variant of chemical PE.
The scientific evidence for this seems to come from medical conditions priapism and megaphalus. Where extended periods of hard erections induced penis growth (and unpleasant side effects).
Chemical PE, involves injecting the penis with Caverject which induces a rock hard erection for a number of hours, which mimics the priapism.
It would seem that clamping, pumping, etc all do the same sort of thing by increasing internal pressure in the penis, but unless they are used for lengthy periods may operate on a different mechanism, perhaps simply stretching the tissues, rather than inducing cell growth.
The chemical PE route looks promising, but very expensive as Caverject is not cheap. It might be possible to get a similar effect by taking Viagra and Yohimbe to get the largest possible erection then edging for two to three hours while watching porn and wearing a silicone cock ring. (Assuming you have three hours spare a day to dedicate to this!)
4. Hormonal growth stimulation.
The idea behind this is to create a sort of second puberty to stimulate the penis to start growing again.
The idea is that androgen receptors in the penis do not stop working after puberty, but they do down regulate significantly which stops growth in post pubertal hormonal conditions.
There are however a number of things which seem to upregulate the androgen receptors for DHT the chemical primarily responsible for penis growth.
1. Vitamin D
2. Acetyl L-Carnitine
3. Zinc
4. Growth Hormone (Increased with a pre-hormonal supplement like secretagogue gold)
Perhaps the most promising line is the use of Finasteride. There is a scientific paper that shows that after 6 months of finasteride use the DHT androgen receptors in hair follicles were massively upregulated. It may be that the same applies to the DHT receptors in the penis. (Or not?)
There is also evidence that exposing the cells to unusually high levels of the Androgen (DHT) leads to up regulation.
I think there is probably more to a second puberty penis growth than DHT, perhaps levels of free testosterone and human growth hormone should also be elevated.
Anyway, the protocol would be to take Finasteride daily for 6 months, then flood the upregulated receptors with DHT gel (Andractim) and testosterone cream (Androforte 5) and try to boost growth hormone with secretagogue gold a high protein diet and heavy weight training. Also supplement with vitamins D, Zinc and Acetyl L Carnatine. Take some aromatase blockers to maximize the free testosterone and minimize estrogen production (which down-regulates receptors) (Supplements like 6-OXO and Novedex XT) Continue the puberty hormone phase for 60 days and then start back on the Finasteride and repeat the cycle.
No idea if it works, but I will be starting the first 6 months on Finasteride next week along with the usual hanging with heat and all day stretching.
