			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This is a very difficult subject for me. Unfortunately, I didn&#039;t &quot;wake up&quot; until a couple years after my son was born. My husband is cut, and every man I&#039;ve ever been with has been cut, with the exception of one guy. So all my adult life, I am led to believe that this is &#039;normal&#039; and being uncut is not normal.&nbsp; So when my baby was born, I allowed them to circumcise him--so that he would be &#039;normal&#039; and more like his daddy. Never did they explain to me the things that could go wrong and they certainly didn&#039;t tell me that it was without numbing of some sort. I signed the paper just like the good drone They want us to be, and they took my boy down the hall. I sat in the hospital room listening to babies woller and waited for my son to be brought back. As I sat there waiting, I suddenly heard him start screaming (in pain obviously). I was so upset I almost puked. I just sat there and cried and cried. They brought him back a few minutes later--still crying.&nbsp; They gave him to me and I rocked him and hummed to him while we both cried. I felt absolutely horrible, and now I feel even worse, knowing what I know now--that it&#039;s totally unneccesary. <br />&nbsp; To top it all off, I had problems getting him to nurse and the people at the hospital were not very knowledgable about the fine art of breastfeeding. It was very painful for me. The one and only lactation nurse was not very helpful. I ended up formula feeding him--and very upset about it. She calmed my fears a bit by reminding me that we would still be able to bond while I fed him, even if it was from a bottle. <br />&nbsp; There are so many things I did wrong when I had my son, it&#039;s hard to think about.&nbsp; But I guess the worst thing was the cutting. Just so he could be &quot;normal&quot;....&nbsp; If I had to do it all again, I would have had a home birth with a midwife, he wouldn&#039;t have been cut, and I would have just dealt with the immense pain while nursing.&nbsp; </p><p>On the subject of homosexuality and circumcision, I don&#039;t really see a correlation. Not to say that I&#039;m a whore or anything, but I&#039;ve been with my fair share of men throughout my adulthood and only one was not cut. Obviously the others were not gay or they would not have been with women (unless they were just in the closet or something).&nbsp; Though I don&#039;t think that was the case.&nbsp; And they didn&#039;t seem like the rapist kind either.&nbsp; A few of them were overly sexed-up, but I thought all guys were like that <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>Thanks, Barefoot Doc, for the info on the flower essences.

Health News wrote:</cite><blockquote><p><strong>Testosterone Tumbling in American Males</strong></p><p>FRIDAY, Oct. 27 (HealthDay News) -- The testosterone-fueled American male may be losing his punch.</p><p>Over the past two decades, levels of the sex hormone in U.S. men have been falling steadily, a new study finds.</p><p>For example, average total testosterone levels in men aged 65 to 69 fell from 503 nanograms/decileter (ng/dL) in 1988 to 423 ng/dL in 2003.</p><p>The reasons for this trend are unclear, said researchers at the New England Research Institutes in Waterdown, Mass. They noted that neither aging nor certain other health factors, such as smoking or obesity, can fully explain the decline.</p><p>&quot;Male serum testosterone levels appear to vary by generation, even after age is taken into account,&quot; study lead author Thomas G. Travison said in a prepared statement.</p><p>Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays an important role in maintaining bone and muscle mass. Low testosterone levels have been linked to health problems, including lowered libido and diabetes.</p><p>It&#039;s normal for men&#039;s testosterone levels to peak in their late 20s and then start to gradually decline, experts say. But this study found that overall testosterone levels are lower than they were 20 years ago.</p><p>&quot;In 1988, men who were 50 years and older had higher serum testosterone concentrations than did comparable 50-year-old men in 1996. This suggests that some factor other than age may be contributing to the observed declines in testosterone over time,&quot; Travison said.</p><p>He and his colleagues analyzed blood samples -- along with health and other information -- from about 1,500 men in the greater Boston area who took part in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study. That study collected data in 1987-89, 1995-97, and 2002-04.</p><p>&quot;This analysis deals with men who were born between 1915 and 1945, but our baseline data were not obtained until the late 1980s, when the elder subjects were about 70 years old, and the youngest about 45,&quot; Travison said.</p><p>&quot;Events occurring in earlier decades could certainly help explain our results, if their effects persisted into recent years,&quot; he noted.</p><p>The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.</p><p>More information</p><p>The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about <br /><a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Arg0himNXFLNEv6kkZpAc5gqLcsF/SIG=11vduishr/**http%3a//www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003707.htm">testosterone</a></p></blockquote></div>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>An interesting subject, got me thinking, since the practice is part of Judaism and presumably carried forward into Christianity from Judaism, then there must be some Biblical reason for circumcision. Now most people, like myself would just take this for granted without actually checking for themselves. Thanks to sites like this one you can quickly check this out for yourself.</p><p><a href="http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/words/c/1160215522-6915.html">http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/ … -6915.html</a></p><p>Circumcision occurs once in the OT<br />Circumcise occurs 6 times in the OT</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.</p></blockquote></div><p>So OK this one does appear to say cut your foreskin off, but the next occurence;</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Deu 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.</p></blockquote></div><p>Well that would be quite difficult to actually do</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Deu 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.</p></blockquote></div><p>Again it does not seem to be literal.</p><p>So the whole practice seems to be based on taking one verse literally, whilst ignoring others which clearly can not be taken literally. Also the original Hebrew word which is translated to circumcision may not necessarily mean what we take circumcision to mean today.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Because of the tremendous profits involved, doctors are incouraged to NOT use anesthetic, which makes the recycled foreskin useless to the bio-engineers (and perhaps untasty to those bloodsucking reptilians?). <strong>Something could be said about the mentality of the circumcisers themselves.</strong> There was a story about a mother who gave birth to a very deformed baby, with an estimated lifespan of a month, give or take. Even though this child was doomed to die, the doctors still put him through the unecessary and truamatic circumcision. Either these Dr&#039;s have been cut themselves, are addicted to the god-like power they have over the baby, and the manipulation of the parents trust that the DR knows what he is doing. All of the above, and more?</p><p>It has been observed how many medical graduates will fight over who gets to do the next circumcision, but when it comes to the care or treatment of other patients they will have minimal interest, if any, and will fight over who <strong>doesn&#039;t</strong> have to do it</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>tillibullu wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>In an industrialized society with all our sophisticated devices for keeping things hygenic, there&#039;s just no need to circumcise boys.</p></blockquote></div><p>To me, it&#039;s not so much a question of technological cleanliness, as it is of common sense and regular care. I believe we have been sold the &quot;medical&quot; reasons for circumcision to cover up why they really do this. And even the medical/hygenic reasons are a joke.</p><p>For instance when I crashed the first day on my motorcycle all I ended up with was a few scrapes and a bloody knee (I even rode it back home the extra hour up the mountain!), but my mother insisted we go to the ER for possible stitches, clean up, x-rays etc. much to my objection. We waited 3+ hours, for the doctors to do nothing but over-inject my wound with a supposed &quot;pain-killer&quot; which did nothing (and hurt more then the actual crash!) while they scrubbed the knee with disinfectant and a plastic comb-like brush. It healed slowly which I suspect was due to the shots they gave me, and the way they handled it while trying to &quot;clean&quot; it. And I didn&#039;t need stitches which the x-ray confirmed, while adding to the expense bill. (and a few minutes off my life, lol)</p><p>Anyways, the point is <strong>I could have personally cared for this wound 10x better then how I was treated at a &quot;professional establishment&quot;, with the &quot;best&quot; in technological health care.</strong> I was a walking meat-bag with an injury (and money!) to these people .</p><p><strong>When it comes to keeping the foreskin clean, plain water is the answer. Soap is not needed, NOR recommended.</strong> And for people in third world countries or tribal villages where clean water may not be readily accessible, good ol&#039; saliva is enough to clean themselves. I find it ironic I could probably keep better care of a foreskin then some who have them!</p><p>We have been lied too about our own bodies and how they work, and how we should take care of them. And they accomplished this in a very short generational period.</p>]]></content>
