Circumcision - Is it Ever Necessary?

I had the privilege of listening to a very interesting lecture at a holistic event about something I never really thought about, the practice of circumcision on male babies in the U.S. I learned that doctors do this on a routine basis, charging anywhere between $150 and $300 per male baby to not only remove a large part of his penis, but do it in an inhumane way. The doctors generally reassure parents that this is the way to go, for cleanliness or the prevention of disease.

Now, I dont believe a mistake was made when man was created, do you? Even if one doesn't believe in creation, nature just doesn't repeatedly make what doctors are considering to be faults in baby boys that must be fixed. I understand that those of the Jewish faith regularly circumcise the male child but according to what I have learned, they only remove a very small portion of the foreskin at the tip of the glans. Doctors in the U.S. remove the whole thing which is a lot of skin and amounts to approximately the size of a 3 x 5 inch index card in an adult male! Many times they accidentally remove even more skin than this and boys grow up with either painful erections or their erections are bent because the skin is stretched too tight. Both men and women usually believe that's just the way some penises look and never question it. There can be other complications also. Circumcised males grow up never knowing that they lost a natural function of the penis and lost a great amount of sexual pleasure.

Females are born with the same exact thing as males have, a foreskin called a prepuce and the same smega, which is just some dead skin. In the U.S., it would never cross the doctor's or parent's mind to cut off part of their baby girl's genitals for cleanliness. It just doesnt happen. Some countries today practice circumcising and castrating female babies but cleanliness is certainly not the reason. I believe this practice is abhorrent and something needs to be done now to end it. During the lecture, the speaker said Clinton made circumcising female babies illegal in the U.S.

I heard and read about how the babies are circumcised in this country. Their arms and legs are strapped down to a restraint board and during the procedure, they scream in pain and terror. This makes my heart go out to all male babies in this country and elsewhere where this is practiced. I learned that only until recently in the U.S. did doctors begin using some kind of anesthetic for the baby but this is not a common practice.

What a way to come into the world! So I wonder, what affect does this practice have on males about themselves and their self-worth? How has this traumatic experience manifested in the male's life while growing up and as a man? And why is this still being practiced in America?

Fortunately, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The lecturer gave me a book written by Thomas J. Ritter, M.D. and George C. Denniston, M.D. called, Doctors Re-examine Circumcision. It seems that many physicians around the U.S. are now speaking out against circumcision.

"The United States is the only country in the entire world that routinely circumcises most of its newborn males for other than religious reasons. [p. 16-1]

It contains pictures and diagrams of circumcision procedures, including pictures of mistakes with the procedure, resulting in a deformed penis or no penis at all. In the event of an accidental, complete amputation of the penis, which apparently happens, the doctor would just create a vagina. The book also has pictures of what a penis is really supposed to look like and all of the benefits an natural, uncircumcised penis has. It examines the many myths people have been told over the years of why circumcision is "necessary".

What moral or legal right does any parent have to remove a valuable and normal segment of another human beings body? Would it be moral or legal to remove the tip of every males left little finger, or to knock out a front tooth, because it was fashionable and everyone else was doing it? [p. 13-1]

The good news is that there is a movement of circumcised men around the country to grow their foreskins back! A man is actually able to regain a large amount of sensitivity after growing back what was taken from in the first place, without his consent. Our bodies are truly miraculous! More information is available in a book called, "The Joy of Uncircumcising: Restore Your Birthright and Maximize Sexual Pleasure" by Jim Bigelow, Ph.D. There is also a website called, Restore Yourself! A Handy Kit for Circumcised Men at:

Here is a quote from this website:

"You should feel increased sexual sensitivity on the glans of your penis within 30 days. It may take three months to see new skin. Within nine months, you will probably find that you can use your new skin to stimulate your glans."

Since the lecture, I've shared this information with many men and women. I believe the more we examine and talk about this practice of circumcision, the more something can be done about ending it, not only in the U.S. but throughout the world.

A New Paradigm Shift In Earthly Wealth

Hello,

If you dont understand this yet, or have not heard of opportunity investment, you are about to venture into a new life for yourself and your family.

My own fiscal transformation occurred several years ago, yet its not over yet, I've just begun.

Let me ask you, if I told you that money was laying around waiting for you to pick it up and stuff it into your childrens education account, would you believe me?

On some level I think you know its true, money is abundant on this planet.

Let me awaken a sleeping giant in you. I say this with complete frankness, you can TAKE what you need in this life time and you dont need to learn or try or work hard or any other silly diversionary objective within a specified number of months.

Money is spare, it sits waiting everywhere we look. I call it "excess intrinsic value" Well, I didn't coin the phrase, but thats what I call it.

Hayden Mullers excellent work introduced me to this concept and others. These revelations changed my life.

Im not talking about metaphysical, wishy washy concepts about belief and faith. When you see things in the right light, the way every other "high net worth individual" see's it.....you see things as they really are.

I was a fool for many years, working and slaving rediculous hours every day for another mans comfort and benefit. But without an alternative, thats all I had. My wife and I were happy, but I dare say not as happy as my boss and HIS wife and family were.

Im not saying quit your job this minute, but there will come a time very soon, where that will be your only logical decision.

Today, however, you will learn and absorb what you as yet dont perceive correctly. First and foremost that money is spare everywhere around you.

This grass roots phenomenon is sweeping the world. Its a quiet equalizer. Ordinary people like you and me are taking what they need to live well without the need to work and slave for another man for even a single more day.

The wealthy are noticing, but theres nothing they can do, nor do they care. How can they fault people who utilize the self same methods they themselves used to make their own fortunes in the first place.

There is enough dollar wealth on this planet for each and every soul on earth to own a New York apartment building each. 5 billion inhabitants, $100 million each, you do the math.

Yet so many have nothing. I mean nothing at all. They must work there fingers to the bone on a daily basis. Just to survive. Why is that?

Can we blame the rich? The politicians?

No, do we blame ourselves? NO!

Ignorance is the one and only evil on this earth. Its the scourge of this world and for lack of a few simple pieces of infomation, millions go without a real life.

Yet, as stated, theres a surge of new wealth emerging from the ranks of ordinary people like you and me. Real wealth, not just an uptrend in the value of the family home.

People are living in large homes, going on decadent vacations, sending their children to good schools and growing a life together that is free from lack in any way.

The best part is that it's not through sweat and toil, that was the old way. The way our grandparents did it. The revolution is growing. Pinnacle wealth is a thing of the past and the greedy few that hoard and dominate the planets resources are shedding their power and yielding to the many that demand a reasonable "cut" for themselves and their own families.

We are doing it with our minds.

We are doing it with our witts.

We are doing it with a few simple concepts, and a safe and sensible approach.

Most of all, we are doing it very rapidly indeed.

I Am The Best At Who I Am!

My God Mother is 81 years young. She has one son and one grandson. Little John her grandson is now a senior at LSU. When Little John was four years old he could read anything you would put in front of him. His Mother and Father both have master degrees. His Mother read to him when he was still in her womb.

His Grandmother, who is my Godmother would take him on Saturday mornings to McDonalds. When they would pass my bicycle shop about 13 years ago, he wanted to stop and talk to Mitch. My God Mother calls me Mitch. He would beg her to stop. She would tell him that I was too busy.

I let little John use my computer. Little John was very smart. His Mother had him reading War & Peace when he was five years old. I owned a white Ford Van back then. Little John wanted to see my Ford van. I brought him to the parking lot to see my van. I raised him up in the front seat. He saw SRS on the steering wheel. He asked me if I knew what SRS meant. I said no.

He told me it meant Secondary Restraining System, that is the air bag. He continued to tell me that the seat belt was the Primary restraining system. Little John told me his Mother's friend has a Van like just like this one and she let him read the book. I told him so many times. "Your The BEST!" Little John loved to hear that he was the BEST.

I said John, I have friends that are not as smart as you. He said, Mitch you know that you can get new friends. One day one of my five younger sisters, was having a crawfish party in her back yard. All of our very large family was arriving at the party. I was sitting in the back yard with my grandson on my knee. My grandson was about 3 or 4 years old. John was about 5 years old.

Little John and his parents arrived at the party. When little John saw me he started running toward me. When he saw my grandson sitting on my lap, he stoped short and said, Mitch, Who is the best?

I said, come here, he said no, who is the best? I said come here and meet my grandson. My grandson could play T ball , however he could not read like little John. I finally got him over to me and lifted him up on my other knee. Little John was heavy. He ate all of his food. Today he is over six feet three. He said , Mitch who is the best? I said, you are the best at who you are, I am the best at who I am, and my grandson is the best at who he is.

Little John said, no Mitch, who is the best? I knew that I was sending the wrong message telling little John that he was the best! Four o'clock in the morning I get my ideas. I thought of the words. "I am the best at who I am!" I made round label stickers with these words and gave them to little John and my grandson.

I gave them out at many of my over 2500 presentations. School Teachers love the circle stickers. It takes the competition out of being the best. So many kids have low self value, because they believe they have to be the best at sports and other things to be somebody.

No on one earth has your finger prints, your DNA, and your thinking. You are one of a kind. You have a unfair advantage. What you want the most is a unfair advantage. You already have a unfair advantage. Once you know and truly believe in your heart that you already have a unfair advantage, with persistence, you can do anything you want to do, you can be anything you want to be.

There is no competitions, you are one of a kind. You are priceless. You and only you must believe this first. Six billion people on earth, and you are the on the endangered species list. When you past away you will be on the extinction list. The true giver is always the receiver. You can buy more happiness with a heart filled with joy, than a pocket filled with money. How may I serve humanity with humility? What can I do?
