PIOG and long but important ? about circumcision...

[cs_1498]

I no this is a non-vax group, but I thought it would be the best group to get good advice in seeing as most of us aren't so brainwashed by the usual medical society. Heres the issue, i'm due with our first son in Sept. and since we only have daughters we haven't had this come up but I am COMPLETLY against circumcision for our son and DH is ALL for it. The problem is he is as brainwashed by the medical society as most of the US, as in he never questions anything or does his own research he just goes with the whole well it didn't hurt me and my parents had it done, they wouldn't ever do anything to harm their kids, we all turned out fine and therefore it must be right and the way that it should be done....but he won't do any research for himself. It was the same way with vaccinations but he didn't fight me on that issue really just decided I knew what was best as I had been the one that cared enough to research. Anyway, sorry i'm venting as well if you couldn't tell. So does anyone here have any info. that may help to persuade a hubby against circ.??? Personally I just feel that it isn't medically necessary and it isn't mine or DH's penis so therefore it is NOT our place to go chopping away at it. Not to mention God didn't put it there for nothing, it has a purpose and if DS decides when he is old enough that he wants to have the surgery to remove the foreskin then by all means I will support him and he can have it done. But it just really is not something that I feel DH or myself or ANYONE other than our son has the right to make. That is a life changing procedure that can not be reversed and it is not medically necessary. So I don't care if I have to strap our son to my chest until after we leave the hospital to prevent it from happening, I will because I don't want it done. But DH is the total opposite and is insisting that it be done, his reasoning is that he thinks it will keep him from getting cancer of the penis (which is so amazingly rare it shouldn't even be a factor) and he thinks that it can reduce his risk of STDs (there is no good solid proof of this and the STD thing is going to be risk circed or not if he is dumb enough to go out having unprotected sex). Okay ladies so any ideas or suggestions or if you agree with my hubby then feel free to voice your opinion. I can promise you it won't change my mind but I would like to hear them so maybe I can be a bit more understanding of where DH is coming from.

Cancer is caused by toxic overload, decreased immunity and malnutrition..... NOT FORESKIN... LMAO!!!

Please don't cut off your little boy's foreskin.

It is the CRAZIEST thing.... it is truely like when King Julian in Madagascar (the movie) part 2 said, "So suddenly throwing a giraffe into a volcano to make water is crazy?"

Yes.... it IS crazy.

Foreskin training 101

Never touch your child's penis... it is NOT dirty, and it CAN NOT get infected.. unless... someone messes with it.
