History and Medical Myths of Circumcision

Amandha: Really, on day one or two of a newborn. And in the, in Judaism, it’s on day, well, day seven or day eight, depending on the time they’re born. And that’s the naming ceremony. That’s the bris, or the Brit Shalom is the new way of doing it. There’s actually reformed Jewish people who are calling it Brit Shalom.

Amandha: over brit milah which is a peaceful naming ceremony as an alternative because they started to realize it was very hush, but in the Jewish communities no one wanting to do this to their baby, or at least 50% not wanting to do it to their babies. So there’s a website called Beyond the bris dot.

Amandha: and there’s a book and they’ve been doing this for a while, and it’s an alternative because they want their religious ceremony to be as holy as possible, as an honor to the baby and the naming and so forth. And they still want to be in in their congregation., and I mean, I’m not one to really speak on a religion that I’m not a part of.

Amandha: I just wanna touch on it for people who are religious and are in Judaism, that there’s an alternative and that there’s more reformed Jewish individuals who are speaking out and are doing things in a peaceful way and changing this format over away from circumcision There. She and one of the brothers so there’s Noah Sheem, Aasha, Sheila Eber all down the lineage.

Amandha: And him is one of the brothers. There’s Shem, Cush, Ham, and intermarried lineages. And so you see all these lineages, right? And these are all ruler priest lineages, and they all intermarried and., these are like the old Canaanites and that Jesus Christ considered a descendant of both of these lines.

Amandha: The descendant of Shem and the the intermarried priest lines. Basically. It’s interesting. It was, it went into Leviticus, it went all over the place. And I was like, whoa, this is deep. Essentially what’s interesting is that certain males can be born without a foreskin It does happen. And it was, I read that it was, Shem was born without a foreskin and he was one of the revered priests.

Amandha: And his story is strong in Judaism. I’m not a, I’m not a professional in this discussion but it was an interesting thing that popped out in my research, right, that this honored priestly lineage doesn’t have a foreskin, and could that have been in honor of him to cut and remove foreskin or even seen as a divine sign that he was born without it, that others should follow suit.

Amandha: And I found that this was very striking for me when I read that Now. We do know, I have read some arguments of rabbis and so forth, and really what we’re seeing is really out of date information and myth and old ritual that perhaps they. Don’t wanna give up on or change their ways or whatever.

Amandha: The stubborn sort of thing. It was basically in, in America is as a whole. We’ll talk about that. So we’re just talking about the Judaism side of it, but then America is not all Jewish. Well, some could argue, but it’s not all Jewish. So why on earth is that the highest population of circumcision and males in America?

Amandha: Why did this happen or how did this happen and everywhere. It’s very low, or it’s declined quite considerably. And in America it’s still 50% or even more. In Canada, it’s about 20, 20, 30%. And in the UK it’s almost nil. It’s down to like 10%., right? It’s a trend that has been declining and on a constant decline.

Amandha: We do know, as we’re educating ourselves more and more, as more and more science comes to light, we are reducing this really old practice based on an idea that, you know, the smegma was that was the lubricant and the, that’s underneath the foreskin was causing disease, you know, leading to cancers or causing all kinds of sexual problems or the fact that they had this homogenous tissue were leading to hyper masturbation in males and that they couldn’t control themselves.

Amandha: All these kinds of myths, and one by one, they’ve all been disproved. To say that circumcision reduces cancer rates is, it’s just not true. I’ve looked at the data, I looked at all the studies that were in either direction, and as usual, when you’re looking at studies, you have to be very careful.

Amandha: You have to look at how the study was run and who ran it, and you have to look for agenda behind that you have to tease that out and I did find agenda in people who were running the studies the history of the OB-GYNs. They really wanted this; it almost became like an obsession. It became like a very sick thing, where I actually read one story where the OB-GYNs this one obstetrician.

Amandha: Did a circumcision on an unborn male where the child was still being born. He was born breech, and he was only half outta the canal and he was given a circumcision, and that’s. No joke. That’s a true story. And it’s probably not the only one. It’s really become like a, an obsession or something. And what happens with these trends is once they start, like we know with trends, once a trend begins, it’s very hard to stop.

Amandha: It’s easy to start and hard to stop trends, and that’s what we’ve got with circumcision.

Amandha: So since this show is in the United States, I’m gonna focus on how this happened in the United States and where it’s come to. And it really, there were some interesting, strange cases where it seemed to be curative, and this is where it began.

Amandha: It was back in the 1800s where there was a case of a boy who was having issues on a lot of levels of his body. And basically the surgeon was called to see what was going on. Saw that the boy was, he was five. He was very white and delicate, and his knees were flexed.

Amandha: He couldn’t straighten his legs.

Amandha: They were even going to consider cutting his hamstrings so he couldn’t stand up straight. And they noticed that his his genitals were, the penis was normal, but the glans was small. And it was, he had a contracted foreskin over the meatus and it was puffed out. It was red it was looking infected and.

Amandha: That the nurse who was in charge of this boy said that it was chronic, that he had this for quite a long time, and the surgeon had this brilliant idea to cut the foreskin off and relieve the boy, and of course it worked. Very well because the boy was prostrating in pain and it was affecting his nervous system and he was unable to fire off the nerves in his legs of having this problem for so long.

Amandha: And after this case and there was another sort of similar to it was touted as kind of a miraculous cure-all that because it helped this boy stand up straight again. Then it was, you know, going to cure arthritis, brain tumors, to whatever. And this myth began from there, from this point in time.

Amandha: And that’s, this is in America.

Paula: What about what year was that?

Amandha: I think it was at like 1870 or so. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so, so this is how it began as a ritual on the medical side of things. The idea was that there was medical benefit. You have to remember the times, right? Like even just talking about Judaism.

Amandha: Like you have to remember the times in which people were very ritualistic, way more than we are now. Very sacrificial. You sacrifice yourself to God, these kinds of belief systems, right? And we have to remember the context of the times in which it was done. And the reasons for that.

Amandha: I mean, they were, back in those days in Egypt, there were child sacrifices too. Is that okay today? No. So why are other sacrifices like this? There were child sacrifices. There were child sacrifices. Yeah. I mean, there’s areas where the population is so poor that a mother doesn’t have enough food for all of her children and she has to make a decision.

Amandha: I mean, we can’t even imagine that we live in a society that educates us with entertainment and we don’t get all of the stories. So I think that’s very important. There is child sacrifice going on today, but that’s, You know that’s in the Satanic elite that do that. But I’m just saying the context is everything, right?

Amandha: Of why these behaviors were done. And then when time distills, things get handed down and we lose the meaning in the behind the ritual of why we do the things we do or why those things are done. And then, You ask your mom, well, why is this done? Well, it’s just cuz it’s always been the way it’s been. Or is this always the way we’ve done it or we’re doing it because it’s, we’re, it’s our covenant with God.

Amandha: It’s our agreement for protection. That’s why we sacrifice a piece of you for the protection of from God. That’s our agreement. It’s in the Bible, no questions asked. The end. Right. And It becomes taboo to talk about things like that as well at the Beyond the BRI website.

Amandha: This is discussed in a really good video on there. It just. The main problem is the secrecy around it. That everyone’s tiptoeing around the discussion that people are feeling certain ways, but not talking about it. And she was trying to open the discussion and also open the discussion with rabbis.

Amandha: And there were two particular ones that would do brits without without having the circumcision. So there’s more and more acceptance of it, and now there’s argument that that it doesn’t have any negative issues and that it’s beneficial and that’s just not supported by science on any level at all.

Amandha: For one, we do have an excellent study that involved a mother who basically sacrificed her son for science, essentially saying she wanted her son when he is circumcised to be underneath an MRI and the MRI to see what’s going on with his brain because it’s traumatic, it’s significant trauma, but there was no proof of this significant trauma.

Amandha: And this is, you know, from, oh yeah, it was a, it was MRI and they also did a PET and the PET, the positron emission tomography. It was developed in Kingston, Ontario. So that’s a Canadian invention. But anyway, they did the MRI imaging. They also followed up on that.

Amandha: And this., the baby was in the machine for several minutes to generate a baseline, okay. Of the normal metabolic activity in the brain. And then it was used as to compare the data. So after the surgery, and what happened is after they, I mean they used what’s called a Circumstraint using Velcro restraints.

Amandha: Just that alone, just taking an infant and restraining them is traumatizing just that alone. Yeah. And then they taped their head with surgical tape to the board. And then they put the baby in the MRI machine, and then the doctor could have access to the penis for circumcision. He had to use a plastic bell, not the metal bell, because of the magnetic fields, and there was no anesthetic used, as they do not.

Amandha: Which is another thing, it’s very unique with circumcision. There’s rules around surgery and this is broken with circumcision with using no anesthetic, for example. And so the analysis of the MRI data after showed that there was significant damage to the victim’s brain associated with.

Amandha: perception and emotions. And they did follow up tests on the on that infant one day, one week and one month after the surgery. And what they saw is that the child’s brain never returned to its baseline configuration. So basically it was permanently changed by the surgery. This is one type of piece of science that’s very valuable because I wouldn’t want any other child to have to go through a circumcision to get this piece of evidence.

Amandha: again, yes, I wouldn’t want to encourage a study because I think we already know but this is a valuable study done by Paul D. [unclear], PhD. He’s the Pacific Institute of Advanced Study the director, and it was in open literature, so you can find that out. You can go to circumcision.org/brain to find what I read.

Amandha: Okay. What I just relayed to you. Okay. Yeah. Any argument that says that it doesn’t cause brain damage or any type of Google search where it says it’s nonsense., that’s just, they’re spinning it. Okay? So be aware that you’re going to have a backlash with these things, and it’s really laced in ignorance.

Amandha: And as we were mentioning cognitive dissonance where you really don’t wanna see the truth that’s before your eyes. Now there’s so many myths. It’s really hard to get through them all. But the myth that it is cleaner Like think about this, are your eyelids dirty? Like people often compare the foreskin to the eyelids.

Amandha: So if you went and took your eyelids off, would your eyes be cleaner? You know, no. In fact, it’s the other way. Your blinking is cleaning your eye, and it’s similar to how the glans of the penis is. The secretions there are essential because they moisten the tissue just like your eyelid, moistens your eye.

Amandha: And in the studies I looked at, there was not one single study that confirmed a carcinogenic property to these secretions. And as we know of the germ theory being false, we understand that a bacteria does not cause a disease. The disease is already there and the bacteria comes in to eat away the dead tissue that’s already been made.

Amandha: Okay? And that’s the same with any type of smegma you want to talk about because of bad nutrition and stress, Poor nutrition and also think any orifice, any bodily orifice that is in direct communication with the outside world has to have certain enzymes and secretions to protect non-self from coming in.

Amandha: And also on a sexual organ, you’re interacting with other partners and you’re intermingling self and non self more often. And these types of interactions, in fact they find. They, there’s a high preponderance of diseases seen when that individual’s had more than 20 partners in their life just from exposures and possibly not high nutrition.

Amandha: The exposure has to be dealt with by the body and cleaned up by the body. And if it’s not, then things can linger and DNA can communicate with other DNA and there can be issues there. But it’s not to say that, it’s because it’s a sexually transmitted disease. It’s really coming from your own reactions and your own bodily fluids are trying to clean things up.

Amandha: And if they can’t, then that’s where issues can arise. Even with HPV, that there is no virus, there is no HPV virus.

Paula: What’s HPV?

Amandha: Human papillomavirus. Where they say it causes cervical cancer in women and they say it causes penile cancer in males that there’s two types that are more virulent than others of 16 and 18 and there’s tons of different serotypes of it and yada.

Amandha: It’s all lies because what it is again, is your, anytime there’s someone claiming they’re seeing a virus, they’re seeing a particle of your own somatids. That have come to an area that’s already damaged and it is trying to repair DNA. And if it cannot repair that DNA, if it fails in its job, then it will begin the process of changing form to fungus and it will begin the cancer creation process because it will try now to wall off that damage instead because it couldn’t repair it and that’s where you get the cancer cells forming.

Amandha: It’s a mutation format because it’s unable to repair the DNA from the virus particle, which is coming from your own body, which is your own bacteria. Create that in order as toolboxes in order to go the tissue to repair it. If it fails its job, then that can occur.

Amandha: Just because they’re taking out these cells and identifying them and labeling them and naming them falsely and making CGI pictures of them doesn’t mean that it’s coming from an external source and doesn’t mean it’s infectious, and that’s where it goes wrong. But they’re saying with circumcision that when you get circumcised, you have a reduced rate of HPV

Amandha: Infection. And that’s also not supported by scientific literature at all. Now it’s like saying, it’s like saying you’re crying and your tears are gonna cause cancer you know, those secretions and the penis do not, are not gonna cause cancer.

Amandha: And that’s one of the arguments for circumcision. It was an old belief system.

Amandha: Twentieth-century doctors, like they, they thought., they thought it was unhygienic to have these things. They had no clue what the reason for anything is. And I don’t really know if we’ve come that far, to be honest, than then. So the hygienic myth is just perpetuated and perpetuated. Now if you think it’s easier to clean your child’s penis because it doesn’t have a foreskin.

Amandha: Then like, I mean, I don’t clean inside my child’s vagina. Like I just. It’s a self-cleaning machine. You know, it’s the same thing with the penis. It cleans itself. Or like even your ears make like, does the cerumen inside your ears cause cancer? Does that cause cancer? It’s exactly that, if the smegma caused cancer, then your ear wax should cause cancer too.

Amandha: It’s just as ridiculous and it’s just as easy. It’s cleaning itself out. The mucus in your nose, right? It’s cleaning things out. It’s the same exact thing. It’s just self clean. It’s a self-clean cleaning. You never, like the rule is you clean, just clean what’s seen.

Amandha: You never retract an infant’s penis because you can rip the tissue. It’s not prepared to retract. There’s a certain time in which it will retract on its own as they develop, it will retract on its own.

Amandha: Sometimes there’s issues with it. The issues are lack of education because it’s such a taboo topic that nobody’s training anybody to how to actually take care of an intact penis.

Amandha: But basically you clean what seen, and sometimes when things are beginning to change and they’re starting to get erections, there can be issues where it’s not allowing the flow of the foreskin over the head of the shaft of the penis.

Amandha: And even when they urinate, they can urinate inside that foreskin.

Amandha: And that’s normal and that can happen and it will figure itself out. I did have a case where I was helping a boy go through this process and he was having problems. We just instructed him how to gently moisten, use some castor oil and gently moisten things and helped things along a little bit more.

Amandha: And he was fine. He just, it was about a week and upped his nutrition and everything went A-Okay. But guess what?

Amandha: His mom came to me frantic because she was taking him to the doctor and the doctor saying, we have to circumcise. We have to circumcise.

Amandha: Like they were just so hot at this, at the knife for this kid.

Amandha: And I think it was eight or nine and I said, oh my gosh no. Like, let’s just give it time. Just tell ’em to be quiet. Just don’t go back until things are resolved and then maybe you need to teach this doctor a few things.

Amandha: And that’s exactly what ended up happening. And she was pleased that she didn’t need to go through that cause they were really pressuring her and they do that.

Amandha: But not only that, the parents are so brainwashed into it that they there was one story I read in my research about a surgeon, or I think it was I can’t remember it was obstetrician or what the title was, but the attending doctor or nurse on the birth in the hospital. Unfortunately it was a hospital birth, but.

Amandha: The mother the child was born forceps birth. It was a violent birth, it was problems. He wasn’t breathing when he was born, he had a fracture and he also had a crushed part of his skull, crushed from the forcep delivery. So it was a very traumatic birth. The child then, was brought to the mother after, you know, doing what they had to do to, they resuscitated him and they, you know, got him wrapped up and everything and was handing him to the mother.

Amandha: And the mother immediately said, when can he be circumcised? That was the first thing out of her mouth. When can he be circumcised? Right? Like, there’s something mentally going on here that is very strange. Right. The programming of it. And they did, I did some I looked at some studies where they were looking at different areas and different ethnicities and what was considered normal or not.

Amandha: And in America it got so bizarre that they started to take out the showers. The school gymnasiums and people just, kids would just walk around stinky instead of actually showering where they would see each other naked. And it’s gotten this very macabre way where no other male sees any other male’s penis in just a normal, like you’d go to a nude beach or you’d shower in public showers.

Amandha: Like it wasn’t uncommon, like I would go when I, in my youth and I would be showering with naked, like other women, they’re naked. They take their bathing suits off. Like I saw other women’s bodies. It was a no big deal. No big deal. It’s not like it, everything’s hypersexualized like it is, right? So everything’s taboo, everything’s hypersexualized.

Amandha: Everything has to be private. You’re not allowed to see anything anymore. And to the point where many men will never see another man’s penis in their life, right?

Amandha: Because of this hypersexualized paranoia privacy thing, right? And I think that’s just kind of, we’ve gotten weird. And what happens when you don’t have this just normal healthy behavior?

Amandha: It gets twisted and then you get obsessions where people become obsessed with seeing it and they’ll go into porn or they’ll look, they’ll try to find other ways of figuring out. What other people’s bodies look like or whatnot. Right. It just gets very seedy. Okay. And then there’s this whole idea that the foreskin is just useless.

Amandha: It’s just a useless flap of skin., my goodness. That the stuff we’re learning, I mean, I did a YouTube video about the 20 there’s more than 20, I would say, but the 20 different anatomical or functional aspects of the foreskin. so you can go and watch back. So I’m not gonna repeat all that, but there’s a lot of parts to it.

Amandha: Right? There’s a lot of tissue involved. There’s a lot of different kinds of cells. They’re involved in stimulating the brain in certain ways. They help you mate properly or pick the proper mate for having proper neurological connections with the female. There are estrogen receptors on the foreskin

Amandha: That communicate with a female. I mean, this is God’s creation, which is perfect, and I find it so ironic. Excuse me. Amanda. Amanda, how does it help you pick a mate? Well, the understanding is that when the first of all, the estrogen receptors picking up different estrogen off different females, right?

Amandha: So if you’re feeling aroused, there’s a pheromone, right? There’s a pheromone.. So there’s this kind of interaction between a male and a female, right? And the, if the pheromones are off, you won’t be interested in them, right? They’ve done studies on all of that. Like if the scent of someone, right?

Amandha: Can put you off. That’s why the perfume industry’s so huge. My goodness. It’s all pheromone triggering. It’s getting the musk of a man, right? The scent of a woman. It’s this calling that’s beyond how they look or whatnot. It’s this, it’s like a genital nose.

Paula: what? Like a genital nose.

Amandha: genital nose. Yeah. Like that.

Amandha: And when there’s intercourse there is a nervous system communication going on. The nervous system tissue that’s in the female is connected with the nervous system tissue on the foreskin, and it’s, there’s a nuance going on there with. The sexual interaction, but there’s deeper communication, most likely about fertility.

Amandha: Now, are you fertile? Are you compatible on a fertile level with each other? Right? Those kinds of communications. And we have only really started to understand this. This is the thing. We have been buried in such myths for so long, we haven’t even been allowed to do the research to show that these, this is the case.

Amandha: The other dark side to the circumcision industry is that the foreskin is sold. for skincare products. Stem cell research, she says it is put into vaccines because it’s a pluripotent cell. So the, it’s type of cell on the foreskin that you can use in cell, in lineages, well, those are mainly fetal cells, but you can find special cells that you can grow your vaccine medium on that’s more stable.

Amandha: But mainly it’s being used, you know, cuz this is baby foreskin, this is new stuff. It’s being used for youthful appearance in skin. You want youthful appearance, you can just use dmso. I was gonna say that. I’ll pick that. Yeah. I pick DMSO any day. Yeah. I take DMSO any day over a baby penis foreskin on my face.

Amandha: Thanks. But that’s what’s happening. There’s a whole market, a whole industry, and there’s a whole money making thing going on here.

Amandha: And actually that’s what’s really perpetuated it in the United States. So after that experience with where it seemed to be a cure for everything and it caught on like that, what happened?

Amandha: It was after the war there were things going on. First of all, soldiers in World War I, it was done to them. Of course, always soldiers as fodder for experimentation. But in World War II, after see, the UK was really, like England was really devastated after after World War II, and the circumcision rates went way down to nil because they didn’t have the resources to do it and they couldn’t justify doing.

Amandha: And so the trend kind of faded away more there. But in America it was like the opposite. It just went to like where 90% of boys, it was just unheard of not to be circumcised. It’s been a long time trend. It just got really rooted in there. And it happened because after the war you had all these surgeons.

Amandha: and obstetricians and bored-stiff doctors that needed a job. They needed something to do, they wanted to make extra money. It really came down to the capitalism of it. Wow. That kept it going. That kept it driven. I was amazed when I was reading about that. This is like a make-work project for doctors.

Amandha: Right. And a way to make money and that’s what was., it’s like the, what they cared about. It’s like the pro se office and the courts giving unemployed lawyers jobs to misrepresent your case before the judge. Yeah. Like, oh, we got nothing better to do, so let’s make some trouble. Right. Yeah. And that’s really how it got established.

Amandha: Those are my notes, you know, of how America got so trapped in this circumcision cycle. And traumatizing generations of males. And you can see it, you can, the evidence is clear, right? So no, it’s not a useless swab of skin. Is it aesthetically nicer? Brainwashed women will say yes but I say no because first of all, intact means that they are sexy on another level, but also, the dried-out head of the penis.

Amandha: See, that’s an internal organ. The head of the penis is actually supposed to be an internal moist organ. It’s a, it’s got a more pink color to it. It’s shiny, it’s lubricated and it’s not meant to be exposed.. So when it’s it and when it’s exposed, it’s supposed to be in a vagina. So in another moist worm spot.

Amandha: Yeah. It’s not supposed to just hang out all the time. And when that happens, those cells are damaged. And in fact, there were studies when I was looking on the cancer stats, there were studies that showed that there’s a higher preponderance of cancer in circumcised males because the head of the penis is now exposed and dries out and those cells are, weren’t really meant to be like that.

Amandha: And I think that’s ugly. I think it looks like an old turtle head like an old tortoise that’s been around for thousands of years I don’t find it that pretty. Just saying.

Paula: Well, what can circumcised men do after the fact?

Amandha: Well, you can use stretching, but you can never get it back. Okay, well, you can never get.

Amandha: You can never get the functional tissue back, but there are devices like the TLC Tugger that you can buy and adhere to the remaining movable skin. There is still some movable skin and that can be, encouraged to stretch with some pressure. And so it’s a device that you apply some pressure over a concentrated period of time during the day, and it will start to stretch the tissue.

Amandha: So you, it’s like you’re making a mock turtleneck,. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you’re crocheting. No, I’m just kidding. But you’re, you know, getting more skin out of that and you can get that turtle back in the cave again a little bit. And it’s, it does help the males have better sex. What? It’s not just about better sex, but that’s an important part of it because if you are feeling content with your mate, you’re less likely to cheat.

Amandha: You know, you’ll have a more enjoyable time. The female partner will not get dried out from constant friction pulling lubrication away from the constant rough stimulation. Because see, the. The foreskin is supposed to glide the penis shaft back and forth. There’s not a lot of rubbing movement.

Amandha: It’s it’s an accordion kind of gliding inside. Right, I see what you’re saying. Yeah. And it’s not this like taking a stick and going, you know, rubbing in and out like constantly and it dries out. That can be very painful for the female for the female. And equally for the male, it can rub the male too.

Amandha: Right.

Amandha: So it can be a displeasurable experience and that can lead to a dysfunctional relationship. If you can’t be intimate or you don’t know. Another way to be intimate. And my friend Steve, he wrote on my Facebook page today, he wrote something really cool. He was talking about there’s other ways to make love.

Amandha: You know, he says there’s a damaged circumcised male. I, first of all, we’re not meant to spread our seed the way. Is happening that we’re meant to pull it back within us. But that if you’re intimate and you’re touching, there’s other erogenous zones of the body.

Amandha: And his point was that there’s other ways than just penis-vagina stimulation to make love and to right have a connection.

Amandha: However, a lot of people don’t know that they don’t know how to do that, or they’ve lost that connection. Circumcision is not painless., and it’s not quickly forgotten as we discussed. But it also does have other side effects from the surgery. Like, anything where you’d have post-traumatic stress, like decreased appetite it can really mess around with breastfeeding.

Amandha: So there’s negative side effects to bonding. Would you trust your parents if they did this to you? On a subconscious level, I wouldn’t like, welcome to the world. Now we’re going to traumatize you and take you to this level of pain that you’ve never experienced and now you’re gonna now trust us.

Amandha: Now bond with us. Make eye contact with us. Right? Wait while you’re in pain, while you’re just trying to get through this trauma. It’s a horrible thing to do to anybody, especially to a newborn. It affects the sleep patterns of the newborn, diminishes their REM sleep. The tearing, cause they actually tear.

Amandha: So they don’t just, they use those different types of, there’s a bell-type device. There’s a bunch of them. There’s just horrible looking contraptions. But they amputate, I mean, they’re, it’s an amputation, but there’s crushing and tearing involved in these very, extremely sensitive parts.

Amandha: And you think you’re sensitive when now, when you’re an infant, everything’s extra-sensitive.. So we do know the brain chemistry is modified forever. Some people don’t actually get over it in their whole lives and many are. There are deaths, obviously it can cause deaths this happens.

Amandha: There are about a million circumcisions in the United States.

Amandha: There’s about a million circumcisions of boys per year, and I think it’s one to 2% of those are deaths and there’s a high bleed rate where they won’t stop bleeding. And they have to be put on other, like be hospitalized, other trauma, right? Where they’re having to be monitored. They can then have to be, you know, get infections, other problems, and they, that one intervention begets another and they’re on antibiotics and so forth and just unnecessary, completely unnecessary surgery.

Amandha: It’s considered really a cosmetic procedure. And, but you know, all of these medical groups kind of look the other way. No, just because your neighbor got it done doesn’t mean you have to. And it’s really interesting the psychology around it that it’s like supposed to be some sort of rite of passage or, but everybody’s done it and you’re gonna look weird kind of thing.

Amandha: I mean, or your daddy has it so you should, or your brother has it so you should match. Like this is the psychology. I don’t really have much to say other than that’s what I would call mental illness. If someone thinks like that, they’re not mentally sound. There’s a lot of regret moms out there that have witnessed if anyone’s really questioning whether it’s hurting a baby or not, I just invite you to go to YouTube and just watch a circumcision process in action that should help you with your decision.

Amandha: If you’re not sure what you’re gonna do, if you have a boy that will help you. If once you’re finished throwing up I think you’ll make the decision to not torture your child like that and think that it’s a loving thing to do. Okay. So the STD myth is in the whole AIDS thing. Oh my gosh, about three minutes left.

Discussion: Oh, okay. Yeah. So.. Yeah. There’s so much on this topic. I mean, I did prepare for two hours, so, oh, I’m sorry. Well, well, you know, we can do it next time. There’s so many important things happening at the FCC on the 5G rollout that we can’t do. Do it next week, but maybe the following week and then, yeah, we’ll see.

Amandha: And then I can put this out. Yeah. Get some more feedback. I wanna, are you finished? Yeah. I mean my main thing is that it’s really just do your research and there the science doesn’t stand and there’s a lot of myth and a lot of agenda behind it and just do your due diligence as with all topics that I bring to light.

Paula: I think that’s really important. And I wanted, you know, to emphasize in the spirit of non-violent communication that, that we be able to listen to each other, try to reserve judgment and blame and, you know, try to figure out what we can put on the table to make life more wonderful for us, because if Amandha was saying that a million of these are done a year what is the evidence in our society that we are moving towards being peaceful, being charitable to each other on an international level, being known as as a country.

Paula: That’s really living up to its agreements saying that we’re going by the Constitution and we’re about freedom, and yet we have such high incarceration rates when people don’t have satisfactory relationships, starting with the most intimate and then moving on to to relationships in society, in our nation, and then in our world.

Paula: I think it’s worthy of you know, proceeding very carefully.

Amandha: Thank you again, Paula, and it’s always great to be on your show.

Paula: Okay, thank you, Amandha. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.

Amandha: Bye.
