NIH-supported African penis slicing: Dr. Gastaldo's prediction

NIH-SUPPORTED AFRICAN PENIS SLICING

According to the World Health Organization,

"[T]wo further randomized controlled trials, currently ongoing in the
Rakai region of Uganda and the Kisumu region of Kenya, are supported
by the National Institutes of Health of the United States…The
current position of WHO is that safe circumcision should be provided
where people want it but that a policy decision on whether to promote
it should wait until the results of the Kenya and Uganda trials are
available."
–Bulletin of the World Health Organization. Volume 84, Number 7, July
2006, 505-588

DR. GASTALDO’S PREDICTION

The NIH-supported Kenya and Uganda penis-slicing trials will confirm
what American MDs ANTI-SCIENTIFICALLY declared in 1988:  Penis-slicing
prevents transmission of HIV/AIDS (California Medical Association
Resolution 305-88).

NOTE:  California Medical Association Resolution 305-88 was an obvious
hoax foisted onto the American public immediately after American
medicine’s phony "babies can’t feel pain" neurology was exposed in
1987.

Soon after I exposed the phony "babies can’t feel pain" neurology and
called for an end to the obvious mass child abuse by MDs…

I CALLED FOR A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FROM THE CHILD ABUSE LAWS FOR THE
ANCIENT JEWISH RITUAL THAT LEAVES MOST OF THE FORESKIN ON THE PENIS.

America’s pediatricians immediately called for NO religious exemptions
– and for anonymity for PERPETRATORS of child abuse…

circumcision

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/msg/43c7261a4aafff5a

Immediately after the phony "babies can’t feel pain" neurology was
exposed, the California Medical Association House of Delegates ignored
the CMA’s own Scientific Board and by voice vote (no science) abruptly
changed "no medical indications" mass infant penis ripping and slicing
into "an effective public health measure" – "confirmed" in Africa to
prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS.

Immediately after that, the American Academy of Pediatrics/AAP (led by
California physician Edgar Schoen, MD) did a year long "potential
medical indications" song and dance for the media that created
headlines suggesting that AAP was now promoting the mass infant penis
ripping and slicing…

But there was no science so AAP issued a clarification:

MEDICAL TRIBUNE 30:16 (8 June 1989)
FORGET THOSE HEADLINES ABOUT CIRCUMCISION
AAP IS AGAINST ROUTINE CIRCUMCISION
http://www.cirp.org/CIRP/news/1989.06.08%3aMedicalTribune

Simply stopping the obvious mass child abuse would have been
tantamount to admitting it.  THAT’S why the CMA ignored its own
Scientific Board and why AAP created/stimulated those bogus AAP pro-
circumcision headlines that had to be corrected.

American MDs wanted to stay out of prison.

American MDs STILL want to stay out of prison:  They desperately need
a medical indication for their obvious "babies can’t feel pain" mass
child abuse.

The NIH-supported Kenya and Uganda penis-slicing trials will offer
American MDs a WHO-rubberstamped retroactive "medical indication" to
help keep them out of prison for their ongoing mass infant penis
ripping and slicing crime.

PS According to a WHO PRESS RELEASE – March 28, 2007:

"WHO and UNAIDS announce recommendations from expert consultation on
male circumcision for HIV prevention…Based on the evidence
presented, which was considered to be compelling, experts attending
the consultation recommended that male circumcision now be recognized
as an additional important intervention to reduce the risk of
heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men…There is now strong
evidence from three randomized controlled trials undertaken in Kisumu,
Kenya; Rakai District, Uganda (funded by the US National Institutes of
Health); and Orange Farm, South Africa (funded by the French National
Agency for Research on AIDS) that male circumcision reduces the risk
of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%."
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2007/pr10/en/index.html

The WHO and UNAIDS experts likely did not include the fact that
American MDs stand to go to prison for their phony "babies can’t feel
pain" neurology and mass infant penis ripping and slicing.  Failure to
disclose obvious bias renders the WHO and UNAIDS-convened experts’
recommendation highly suspect.

Hopefully WHO will publicize other obvious MD crimes being committed
against babies – like MDs senselessly closing birth canals up to 30%
and senselessly robbing babies of up to 50% of their blood volume.

ONE LAST NOTE

I want to thank the pseudonymous Ruppert Bear for his most recent ad
hominem attack wherein he called my attention to the recent WHO/UNAIDS-
convened experts report.
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/msg/a0f3000a4f9c0e70

Sadly, Ruppert Bear changed my meaning by strategically snipping; so
here is the URL for that post: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/msg/3213d1e144c9b801

Ruppert is so focused on promoting mass infant penis ripping and
slicing that he too ignores the obvious potential for bias due to
potential MD imprisonment for phony "babies can’t feel pain" neurology
and ongoing mass infant penis ripping and slicing.

As always, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs.  As medical
students, MDs are TRAINED to perform obvious felonies.

The mass infant penis ripping and slicing felony – grisly as it is –
is relatively minor mass child abuse relative to the mass birth-canal-
closing and mass baby blood robbery felonies that Ruppert Bear
ignored.

OT: fairy tales and nursery rhymes for preschoolers

Ok, wow….I went to Amazon to get a couple of books for my DD, who’s 3. I
would have posted this in one of the parenting or book groups but I don’t
even lurk there..I figure someone here might know.

My DD has really taken to liking nursery rhymes (Humpty Dumpty, Jack and
Jill, Mary Had a Little Lamb, etc etc) and is showing interest in fairy
tales, too (Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, The Three Little Pigs). I am
searching high and low for 2 good books, 1of each, a book that has most of
the really popular nursery rhymes in one collection and same for fairy
tales. I personally love Rumpelstitlskin so am looking for a book that
includes that.

The problem is there are so many and I need one, for her, that’s tamed down
for young kids (because fairy tales can be kind of gruesome!) and also one
that has really engaging illustrations. There are lots of volumes of Grimm,
Andersen, etc for adults that lack simpler language and bright
illustrations. I was told by a friend to check dollar stores and bargain
places to look for individual stories. Since the stories are so old and out
of copyright there are a bajillion choices. Has anyone here found any
collection on Amazon or somewhere else that your kids like?

I want to strike while the iron is hot and my DD is enthused about this type
of thing. I am glad she is showing an interest in a wider range of books
than just the ones that go along with tv shows on Disney, Nickelodeon, and
Noggin. (Although I DO enjoy the fact that my daughter, at her age, loves so
many books at bedtime– Dora the Explorer, Charlie and Lola, Max and Ruby,
Spongebob, Oswald, etc—really, I mean, when I was little I had a book of
fairy tales and a pile of Little Golden Books! So there are so many choices
these days!)

Eh, BTW, any recs for good books for preschoolers in general? Or book recs
for pregnancy and new babies? I like to read, don’t want to bog the group
down, but if anyone is interested I have a list of my faves too)..

Space between babies?

Just wondering what the age difference is between your kids, and wondering
what you think the ideal age difference between kids is for them to be
closest emotionally? There will be 3 and a half years between my kids, and
personally, I really wanted for them to be closer in age, no more than 2
years apart. I actually would have liked for them to be a year apart but I
couldn’t handle pregnancy back-to-back like that! I figure the closer in age
they are, the more likely they can grow up together and share toys and
interests, and play together better? Aside from wanting them to be as close
together as possible I’d say I think no more than 2 years apart would be
ideal.

Some people tell me they feel it’s less sibling rivalry when there are a few
more years between them, such as 4 or more. Others tell me it doesn’t make a
difference, their kids are close no matter the age gap and gender. But I
know some families whose kids just are not close- they don’t share things,
don’t share interests, don’t enjoy spending time together- I always wonder
if it’s just happened or it could have been better. I didn’t have any
siblings close in age to me so I feel this is probably why it was a desire
of mine to have kids close together.

I am at least glad that there will be a year and a half that my daughter
will have at home with her younger brother or sister before she starts
kindergarten. But at first, with a newborn, it’s not like they can play
together anyway–most of the images I have in my head of them playing at the
park together, playing games, and sharing toys will be after DD is in school
anyway. I do wish they could be about a year and half closer in age.

I still wish for one more baby, but I am not sure I will be up to another
pregnancy soon after this one because it WILL be when I have a
infant/toddler and then DD will be adjusting to school, so not only will I
have to do the baby caretaking but also get DD ready for school and pick her
up and do school stuff..I want one more, but I am pretty sure I won’t have
#3 any closer to #2, than I will #2 to #1. #1-#2= 3 and a half years
apart…..I’m thinking I won’t be ready for a possible #3 until #2 is
probably almost in school herself.

Just random ramblings, any comments? I truly envy those who have 3 or 4 kids
who are all so close together, no more than 2 years apart but I know it had
to be exhausting. It took me a long time to get over pregnancy and
breastfeeding. That was really the thing, I was still bf #1 and was too
tired to think about a pregnancy..I find pregnancy to be a challenge, and
difficult, and as bad as it sounds I dread it. LOVE the kids, dread the
pregnancy. Unlike some of my friends, who kept having kids almost more
because they relish the moments of pregnancy, it’s when the baby comes that
they get tired! I really do have a friend who just adores being pregnant. I
just don’t, although of course I love the good moments- the kicks, the
ultrasounds, and yes it’s beautiful to carry a child, but honestly- it feels
bad, and it feels like forever, and I am just not one of those who glows and
relishes it. I also look like I have been beat up-LMAO. But I truly adore
kids and babies.

Back-to-work Dad concerned about quality time with newborn

I’m back to work and when I get home I don’t get much time holding our
3 week old son while he’s awake because after the DW and I eat dinner
together he usually gets another feed (sometimes during dinner where I
have to hand feed the DW, no lie! lol) and after the feed he sometimes
falls asleep… next thing you know it’s 9PM and i haven’t had the
quality time like I did when I was home with him the first 2 weeks and
I’m about to doze off myself in preparation for work and the nightly
diaper changes.

I know it’s silly.. but I feel like I’m not getting quality time with
him. I feel like he’s not going to recognize me or attach to me when
he gets older. Am I being silly or what? I’ve told this to the DW and
she says RELAX! he may recognize my voice but right now it’s all about
eating and sleeping and getting "some" excercise (belly time or just
moving around on his back)

I think i’m being impatient right?

I just can’t wait so I can start reading to him and playing with him
where he reacts to me and all that.

Right now though I guess all that’s important is him eating and
sleeping and getting SOME play time/excercise.

So how long does this "newborn" stage last?

Water retention….

Hey there.

Yesterday I noticed that my right foot is definitely "bigger" than my
left foot because the Birkenstock was definitely tighter around the
instep. Today I think it’s even a bit worse, both feet are somewhat
swollen. I drink lots during the day (over 2 liters, not quite three
though I’m pretty sure.).
I’m trying to get rid of the water by:
– drinking lots of water mixed with juice (plain water’s not really
working for me right now, it tastes strange)
– footbaths with saltwater (a recommendation from one of my pregnancy
books written by a midwife)
– putting my feet up whenever I can
– eating cucumbers and raddishes with Salt (the cucumber’s another
recommendation from the book)

It’s really uncomfortably hot where I am right now. We had a mild
thunderstorm this evening but I doubt it cooled off. I would like to air
out the house right now, but since both Sam and I are allergic I can’t
because the pollen concentration’s bound to be high right now.

I’m 27+3 weeks now, so I have another 3 months to go (EDD 22. Aug). I
really want a homebirth, but if I’m already starting on the water
retention now I’m scared it’ll end in pre enclampsia and c-section
(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH please nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo).

With Sam I had some water retention very late in the pregnancy,
definitely later than 32 weeks, possibly as late as 36 weeks. But it was
not really a lot, you could hardly tell from looking.

I know I need to talk to my gyn/midwife about it, but we’re having a
long weekend in germany and I don’t think it warrants and emergency room
visit, so I’ll call them Tuesday.

I could really do with some tips, advice and reassurance that I won’t
necessariely end up with pre enclampsia. I’m such a wuss when it comes
to hospitals and surgery even the slightest chance of c-section sounds
scary.

Ectopic pregnancy??

It’s a holiday weekend here, so my only choice is to go to an emergency
room–I have a doctor’s appointment Tuesday morning for a scheduled
ultrasound. I am trying to decide if I should call in tonight or tomorrow if
this keeps up? Certainly by tomorrow if this keeps up I will and I can at
least call the on call dr.

I have started an odd feeling pain on my right side, as high up as my belly
button and to the right. It is like my stomach is hurting right in line with
my belly button just on the right side and it is a pulsing – not really
cramping, but maybe slightly sharp. Not ice-pick sharp. But just more like
maybe a sharp twinge that pulses if this makes sense. While this is going on
my right shoulder hurts, in my back, the back shoulder blade. It will do it
for a few minutes then stop then it will come back. My question, an ectopic
pregnanct wouldn’t hurt this high up would it? Also, this type of pain has
just started about 2 hours ago. It’s not very severe or sharp. It is
definitely not severe enough to even take a Tylenol for. But it’s noticable?
It doesn’t throb as much as a pulse would, it’s not hurting with each heart
beat of mine, but it’s also not a steady constant pain or a cramp, it’s like
"ding ding…ding…ding…ding…….ding…" if that makes sense.

I just want to know from experiece what an ectopic pregnancy would feel like
and WHEN you usually start feeling it- I am almost at 9 weeks and have been
to the 8 week appointment and am scheduled this week for an u/s on Tuesday-
is it ok to wait until then to have it checked if it doesn’t get worse or
more frequent? WHat’s worrying me is the shoulder pain. If this is not a
sign of something wrong. then I am ok, ie, I am not really in any pain that
I would need to have checked. I have never had one but always understood
that ectopic pregnancies would be worsening, severe or sharp? I have heard
of shoulder pain in ectopic but also, it would be sort of severe too, right?
It’s hurting right under my ribs. I went swimming today and was more active
with the kids because I felt better. Now am wondering if I did something
else! I feel like if I had an ectopic, I’m almost 9 weeks and surely it
would have shown a sign by now. ??
