PLEASE NOTE: Discovering that nearly 90% of the worlds people are intact and realizing the losses caused by circumcision often causes dismay and confusion (cognitive dissonance). Although the losses, are undeniable, try not to dwell on them but look forward to the tasks and enjoyment of foreskin restoration. Early benefits may begin in4 - 5 days, more over weeks, months and years. Men circumcised as adults reap the most insight as they reap the joy of near return to the normal they once knew.
ANATOMY: In the late 80s Dr. John R. Taylor, in Winnipeg MB, researcher, identified the five layers, 20,000 to 40,000 varied nerve endings of the foreskin. It is an important sensory organ, a nerve plexus with many valuable functions. See British Journal of Urology (BJU) Feb 96 and Jan 99.
PHYSIOLOGY: Dr. Morris L. Sorrells et al studied sensory physiology of the foreskin and found that it is to sensory reproduction as eyes are to vision, the tongue is to speech and taste, the ears are to hearing, and hands and feet are to dexterity, mobility, sensing and negotiating the environment. See BJU April 2007. Both studies are landmark medical and human rights achievements proving the foreskin is an ontological presence on human males.
PRIOR to these studies, little was known about the modest but fascinating little tube- shaped organ inappropriately named foreskin, far less the difficulties arising from its absence. Cirumcision history is a study in itself: http://www.farreach.org/donate-links-comment/history.
RESTORATION. For 40 years restorers have been adapting ancient stretching techniques (mitosis) for contemporary use: http://www.restoringforeskin.org
MITOSIS IS NOT MAGIC OR MYTH. IT IS A MEDICALLY RESEARCHED, KNOWN TRAUMA REPAIR TECHNIQUE (dermatology, neurology, myology etc). Repair is achieved by stretching to stimulate cell and tissue expansion. Stretching both skin and mucous membrane remnants just to a mild tingling sensation 10 -15 minutes x 1 or 2/day develops a new, foreskin-like tube. Though not identical to the original, this new faux-skin generates sensation, mobility and moisture, previously absent and enhances intimacy, confidence, emotional growth, relationships and general health.
GOAL I: Help millions with botched circumcision (additional injuries) restore and heal. Men doing customized, focussed, mitosis can even out their jagged scars until they are symmetrical to elongate to a preferred length.
GOAL II: Help millions, age 2 (with parents help) to age 80+ adolescents included, with the basic circumcision injury .
THE FORESKIN IS THE NORM for 85% - 90% of the world but many North Americans still see circumcised as a default image. Circumcising is a 2 billion dollar/year industry. Circumcising to match son to father used to be trendy but now circumcised fathers are beginning to restore to match their sons. They protect their boys from agonizing injuries, often death and heal themselves in the bargain. Circumcisers kill 100 - 200 boys a year, from heart failure due to pain, hemorrhage, infection etc. for no benefit.
TODAY’S FATHERS who preserve their infants peace and health instead of submitting them to the traumas of circumcision are our heroes! No infant deserves injury and risk of death for a doctors greed or fathers vanity. Adolescents and adults who respect their wholeness and refuse to be manipulated into allowing circumcision come a close second. Circumcision is harm alone and nobody deserves it.
