It is indeed terrible that poor Alex has become a victim of an unscrupulous hack who is more concerned about his pocketbook than the welfare of Alex. Perhaps we should be more kind to poor Alex, but you'd think he'd be a little brighter than to suggest that there were medical reasons in light of the evidence brought forth upon these pages to prove the fallacy of such a claim, wouldn't you?
Your unkind stab at Paul only shows that you too have been duped by the medical industry in believing that all doctors are gods to be worshipped and never questioned. The time has come that everyone must take charge of his own body rather than accepting point blank everything and anything that these gods spew out of their arsenals to keep the costs higher and higher until no one will be able to afford legitimate and necessary care for real life medical problems. Running off to a doctor because a foreskin is a little tight is hardly a situation calling for creating a thousand dollar or more bill that only serves to pad the coffers of mutilator. A real doctor should have made a better call. Now in this instance, our little victim hasn't explained if the medical reason was cancer, which would be about the only legitimate reason for cutting off his foreskin. In absence of cancer, there are few. The likeihood in most of these situations is that the reason given is phimosis, a simple and natural situation for which the remedy has been quite well illustrated within these pages.
