Circumcision Prevents Disease Myth Is Debunked and Questions to Ask Yourself

Important Concerns and Lifelong Consequences of Circumcision

It's approximated that 60% of males born in the U.S.A. are circumcised for religious, aesthetic, or traditional reasons, which are deemed medically unnecessary by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Questions that you may want to ask yourself if you're thinking about this surgery for your child: What are my reasons for having the procedure performed on my baby? Is it because of societal or religious expectations? Is there an assumption that it's "natural" or assumed to be the appropriate option? If so, could this belief stem from a misguided parent or partner who has impressed in your mind that circumsing is conventional and advantageous?

Are you apprehensive about describing to your child how to effectively wash his genitals? Are you uncomfortable talking about the subject overall? If the responses to any of these questions are yes, is the choice to circumcise more about you?

After considering your views to these questions, you may want to research the most typical circumcision myth: Circumcision prevents illness.

If a person hasn't resolved their victim-victimizer, survival-based patterns from previous lifetimes, any "dis-ease" can often be traced to traumatizing deaths that will emotionally encourage illnesses regardless of circumcision. Circumcision isn't going to help avoid global sickness. If anything, it is promoting victimization as one's body is breached without conscious approval. Also, it can cause a decrease in penis sensitivity making condoms even less tolerable. There are inconsistent research findings on this subject and claims of illness prevention; however, a study by Norm Cohen debunks many myths. Norm Cohen, Director, The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers of Michigan, writes:

"Circumcision is the only surgery in history ever recommended as a universal means of preventing disease. Nowhere else in medicine is surgery on a healthy organ considered an alternative to proper hygiene. The claim that circumcision prevents AIDS was made on the basis of observational studies of men already circumcised and randomized controlled trials where men underwent a circumcision at the start of the study.

All of the studies attempted to predict what happened on a microscopic level by studying conditions on a macro level, which is far less precise. Researchers were not able to observe exactly when, where, or how each individual got infected. Therefore, a fundamental assumption was made that is possible to draw conclusions about the mode of transmission of HIV by enumerating the success of transmission in specific populations.

[Regarding penile sensitivity and HIV transmission], the most common reason men give for not wearing a condom is that it reduces sensation and pleasure. Circumcised men experience a progressive loss of sensitivity as a result of their circumcision, [which] will only discourage condom use further. [Furthermore], loss of penile skin from circumcision frequently results in tightened, scarred skin on the erect penis.

This eventually increases friction during intercourse, which increases the likelihood of abrasion through which HIV can pass... [Also], circumcision advocates propose to persuade men to be circumcised because it will protect them, and afterwards tell them not to have unprotected sex because it won't protect them. This dangerous [and confusing] message may make many circumcised men worldwide feel that since they are now [supposedly] at decreased risk, they are sufficiently protected without condoms."

In addition, Dr. Guy Madder, a physician at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Adelaide, Australia, concludes in the Annals of Family Medicine that there is no proof that circumcision lessens the chance of contracting STD's, bladder tract infections or penis cancer. I don't declare that these research findings or similar ones offer definitive proof that circumcision prevents disease, however, if the choice to circumcise or not to circumcise is being established completely by the assumption that circumcision prevents STD's, one may want to examine these studies further from various resources.

Furthermore, I've discovered that patients with STD's have unresolved experiences of past-life sexual assault, molestation, fatal pregnancies, operations, or traumas to their bodies and can manifest an illness for emotional and psychological closure. Past Life Therapy patients root, subconscious messages that were registered during past-life traumas or illnesses often include negative statements such as "You're nothing," "You're worthless," "You deserve this," "You don't exist," and ultimately "You deserve to die."

This comments coming from outside of someone during a subconscious state such as stressful fatalities confuse the mind into considering these statements as one's own. They can also strengthen a mind-body perception that "I'm not perfect as I am; I'm damaged; I'm not good enough, etc." These limiting values connect to every cell in the body to "act out imperfectly" as the mind includes the complete body, not just the brain. As a result, the mind can conclude both subconsciously and consciously to remain victimized in many ways until the root of these false values are released.

Moreover, AIDS, the greatest victimization, can be reinforced by a subconscious attempt to die as the only way to evade the confusion that has taken over one's life. Circumcision is just another factor in the karmic victimization pattern, which can resume the belief that "there is something wrong with me and this body part." Regardless of one's perception of reincarnation, the fact remains that even though the U.S.A. has more circumcised men than other nations, STD rates are the same or more noticeable than areas where circumcisions are less typical.

I don't proclaim to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure diseases. I provide alternative/healing arts treatment that promotes emotional resolution of current problems at their unconscious sources; this may include past lives, prenatal/birth experiences, present-life traumas, operations, etc.

Physicians are required to abide by a Hippocratic Oath to offer safe, moral treatment and avoid causing harm to anyone. The parents and physicians allowing circumcision operations should examine whether these painful, mind-altering, and physically damaging operations are in the best interest of the baby, or if it has more to do with their own unresolved problems.

If it's due to avoiding the subject of teaching a boy how to effectively wash his genitals (which shouldn't be unusual from teaching a girl about menstruation, sexual education, etc.), or if it's from cultural and religious teachings that children should be circumcised, then one may want to examine these values before making a major choice to circumcise their baby boy.
