 "Routine circumcision of all males makes no sense outside of a religious framework. A circumcision is an operation, and its dangers are not inconsiderable. It's not altogether rare for a surgeon to get smart and use cautery instead of a knife—and to slip and burn off most of the penis.
In some primitive religions submitting to ritual mutilation elevates the victim to a higher consciousness. Through either the intense pain of the mutilation or the effects of drugs—or both—the victim hallucinates communion with the deities."- Robert Mendelsohn, Confessions of a Medical Heretic (Get the book.) |
 "Wiswell, who was once a staunch opponent of circumcision. He has since changed his mind. "I'm obviously a proponent of good hygiene," he says. "But there's no good data saying hygiene will minimize the risk for these complications as much as or more than circumcision."
The recurrent infections cause tissue scarring that makes the foreskin lose its elasticity, a condition called balanitis, says Irwin Goldstein, M.D., a professor of urology at Boston University School of Medicine.

| "The Jewish ritual circumcision, or bris, has a place in Jewish law and culture. The bris is performed on the eighth day of life by a trained mohel who uses the same technique that has withstood more than 4,000 years of use. Ten men stand by to make sure he does it right, too. Modern Medicine's routine circumcision, however, takes place on the first or second day of life, when blood loss can be especially dangerous. It's performed by a surgeon, or an intern, or a medical student using the "latest" technique." - Robert Mendelsohn, Confessions of a Medical Heretic (Get the book.) |

"A study suggests that the circumcision of male infants may result in a greater pain response during later vaccination. Results showed that 30 boys who had been circumcised at birth out of a total of 42 who received various vaccinations at 46 months cried longer, and were deemed to be experiencing more pain, than uncircumcised boys.

 "The high initiates have always understood the coded meanings, but the mass of the people have been sold a lie, a cover story, to imprison their minds and make them slaves to their hierarchy. Even circumcision, so fundamentally associated with the Jewish faith, came from Egypt. You can see the common Babylonian origin for the Jewish and Christian religions in the beliefs and methods of Judaism and the Roman Catholic Church. Both terrify their victims into conforming to 'God's law' by the fear of what will happen in the next world if they don't obey the priests and the Bible in this one."- David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.) |
