    The whole “hygiene” and circumcision is a myth and a lie.

    It’s not like there microbiology science existed thousands of years ago. It may have been a hygiene practice because people thought it was helpful. Bloodletting is BS as well and people thought it helped drain the body’s poisons.

      Bloodletting is therapeutic… for some very specific conditions. For example, hemochromatosis, where the body has too much iron, and there has been some preliminary study that blood donations are a way to reduce the amount of PFAS in blood.

      But everyone has PFAS in their blood; not every male has (beyond normal) phimosis.
