I had Dupuytrens developing on both hands, and was really concerned, being a dentist and artist. I found Dr Gottschalk online, and found that he had trained with a friend of mine at UCSF. And in talking to my MD radiation therapy friend, I found that he had treated the god-father of radiation therapy at UC many years ago for Dupuytrens. So I had an inside contact, which gave me the impulse to go forward. I have worked in oral cancer radiation therapy so am conversant with the issues involved. I called Mt Zion and Dr G and was treated with great warmpth and efficiency. takes 15 minutes a day for two weeks. I had no side effects,and it has been 3 years now.

My wife, also of Northern European extract (we have a 2-3% incidence) developed Dupuytens and it was affecting her hand reach on the piano keyboard. She has also been sucessfully treated. The low voltage ortho radiation is not high-energy like Cobalt, has few side effects, and the literature has shown NO transformations to hand cancer or other problems. IT WORKS!!!
