Changes

One of the aspects of [[intactivism]] that are most ignored by the medical community is the existence of a large community of men restoring their foreskin through non-surgical methods. [[Foreskin restoration]] was first done by the Jewish people approximately 100 years before the Christian era, <ref>{{REFjournal |last=Hall |init=RG |author-link= |last2= |init2= |author2-link= |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/restoration/hall1/ |title=Epispasm: circumcision in reverse |journal=Bible Review |date=1992-08 |volume= |issue= |pages=52-7 |accessdate=2022-06-17}}</ref> <ref name="schultheiss1998">{{REFjournal |last=Schultheiss |first=Dirk |init=D |author-link= |last2=Truss |first2=Michael C. |init2=MC |author2-link= |last3=Stief |first3=Christian G. |init3=CG |author3-link= |last4=Jonas |first4=Udo |init4=U |author4-link= |etal=no |title=Uncircumcision: A Historical Review of Preputial Restoration |journal=Plast Reconstr Surg |location= |date=1998 |volume=101 |issue=7 |pages=1990-8 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/restoration/schultheiss/ |quote= |pubmedID=9623850 |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1097/00006534-199806000-00037 |accessdate=2020-01-02}}</ref> and was the reason why the original brit milah [[Brit Milah]] was made more radical, turning it into [[Periah|brit periah]].

Interest in foreskin restoration reappeared during the world war World War II, when Jewish men were often identified by the absence of [[foreskin]]. <ref name="schultheiss1998" /> Surgical methods were attempted. <ref name="tushmet1965">{{REFjournal |last=Tushmet |first=Leonard |init=L |author-link= |etal=no |title=Uncircumcision |journal=Medical Times |location= |date=1965-06 |volume=93 |issue=6 |pages=588-93 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/restoration/tushmet1/ |quote= |pubmedID=14287361 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=2020-01-2}}</ref> This interest traveled to Europe and the United States, giving place to new methods. In 1982, some men who didn't want to submit to surgery, rediscovered non-surgical restoration and created the [[BUFF]] method, which they shared freely. <ref name="bigelow1994">{{REFjournal |last=Bigelow |first=Jim |init=J |author-link=Jim Bigelow |title=Uncircumcising: undoing the effects of an ancient practice in a modern world |journal=Mothering |date=1994-07 |volume= |issue= |pages=59-61 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/restoration/bigelow |accessdate=2010-01-02}}</ref> Since then, new methods have been developed through experimentation, and shared through internet in online forums.

The [[AAP]] and the [[CDC]] make no mention of foreskin restoration in their circumcision policies. The general attitude of the American medical community towards restorers is one of skepticism. Restoration is discounted as a placebo, and restorers are accused of being obsessed and psychologically unstable. A tireless advocate of [[circumcision]] and major critic of [[foreskin restoration]] is [[Brian J. Morris]].

When media outlets share articles about foreskin restoration on social media, the general comments also often include disbelief and disrespect. In spite of 33 35 years of freely sharing information on non-surgical foreskin restoration, most people think it's some kind of new fad.

== Articles Medical journal articles about foreskin restoration ==

1. Non-Surgical Foreskin RestorationThe publication of articles in medical journals about foreskin restoration has been slight. The stretching procedureancient practice of [[epispasm]] was revived by laymen. BUFF. (1982?) It bears testimony to the harm, injury, and damage done by medical doctors who practice [[circumcision]], so little has been printed in medical journals about [[File:fs01.pdfforeskin restoration]]. Consequently, the typical medical doctor is entirely ignorant concerning foreskin restoration.
