It cuts deep:The Myth of Medical Protection and its Hidden Cost

I’ve been grieving after listening to episode 250 of Here for the Truth with Jenna McClelland. Her words pierced through layers of numbness — not just around the practice of circumcision itself, but around the massive cultural lie that has allowed these kinds of harms to continue, unchallenged, for generations.
Because circumcision isn’t the only betrayal hidden beneath the banner of medical protection. So too are routine vaccinations — procedures carried out on newborns and infants in the name of “prevention,” but often with no true understanding of the trauma they cause.
Both are accepted. Both are normalized. Both are upheld by fear — and a misplaced faith in medicine’s authority. And both leave wounds that are rarely acknowledged, let alone healed.
In Australia, routine circumcision is no longer as common as it is in the United States — but the trauma didn’t disappear with the practice. It lingers. In the bodies, psyches, and relationships of the men who were cut. And it echoes into the next generation — their sons — who may not be physically marked, but still carry the energetic imprint of a father’s unspoken wound.
I see my partner. I see the men of my generation — most of them circumcised. And I see the way this trauma has been normalised, hidden, and wrapped in medical and religious language so we don’t have to feel the truth of it.
But it’s time to feel it.
The Wound that lives in the shadows
There’s a reason circumcision — and the trauma it causes — remains so hidden.
It’s not just the babies who dissociate. It’s all of us.
We bury this wound because to name it means to feel it. To recognise that the very systems we trusted — hospitals, doctors, religion, family — betrayed our children at their most vulnerable moment. And in many cases, betrayed us too.
So we rationalise. We defend. We minimize. We repeat phrases like “He won’t remember,” or “It’s cleaner,” or “It’s tradition.”
But beneath those scripts is a wound we’ve been trained not to name. It’s a wound of trust broken. Of sovereignty stripped before language. Of obedience installed through blood and silence.
It lives in the shadows — in the tension between men and their partners, in the shame held in the genitals, in the distrust that blooms before a boy ever understands what happened to him.
We don’t talk about it…But it’s there.
Unseen. Unnamed. Unhealed.
Until we shine light on it — not just with information, but with feeling — we remain part of the silence that allowed it in the first place.
Ritual Disguised as Medicine
Contrary to popular belief, circumcision was not born out of science. It was never studied, never proven, never tested. It was introduced in the 19th century by a handful of influential physicians — not based on evidence, but ideology.
Doctors like Lewis Sayre and John Harvey Kellogg promoted circumcision to “cure” masturbation, epilepsy, and criminal behavior. Their reasoning was drenched in moral panic and sexual repression — not medicine.
And yet today, the practice persists. In the U.S., it's still performed on the majority of baby boys, often within days of birth. And why?
Because of a myth.
The Role of Religion: Trauma as a Rite
We must also be brave enough to speak about the religious origins of circumcision — particularly in Judaism and Islam. These are emotionally charged and sacred spaces for many, and yet truth must be spoken with compassion.
Circumcision was never about health. It was a blood ritual, passed down to ensure loyalty, obedience, and hierarchy. The Egyptians circumcised male slaves to destroy resistance: “Be circumcised and no longer resist.” In many traditions, the cut is performed by a religious authority, embedding submission into the child’s psyche from the start.
And because of these cultural taboos, any criticism of the practice — even in secular medical contexts — is often silenced with accusations of racism or antisemitism. Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer experienced this firsthand when his work began to question institutional practices.
But when we avoid truth out of fear, we protect the very systems that keep us wounded.
The Micorobe Myth
Both circumcision and vaccination are upheld by the belief that microbes cause disease — and therefore must be preemptively conquered by cutting or injecting the body.
But that belief is crumbling.
Doctors like Tom Cowan, Sam Bailey, and Mark Bailey have shown that:
Viruses have never been isolated using proper scientific methods.
Contagion has never been proven.
Our body is not under attack, it is adapting intelligently
If there's no threat of infection or transmission…Then there's no need to inject. No need to cut. No need to traumatize.
And yet — both circumcision and vaccination continue. Not because they’re effective — but because they serve another function.
control Through Trauma
When you view these practices through the lens of power, not health, the picture becomes clearer.
Both involve:
Forcibly restraining an infant
Inflicting pain
Severing trust
Replacing bodily autonomy with submission
These are not acts of protection.They are initiations into fear and obedience — modern-day blood rituals disguised as medical care.
It's time to call it as it is : blood rituals are not a thing of the past. They still happen today — and for the same reason they always have.
👉 To traumatise.👉 To control.👉 To sever the soul from the body, and the individual from their sovereignty.
“The Benefits Outweigh the Risks”
That’s what the health authorities still say — about both circumcision and vaccines.
That HPV and STIs can be prevented by cutting. That disease can be stopped by injecting. That the trauma is worth it.
But when the science doesn’t hold… When the harm is visible… And when the body’s innate intelligence is ignored…
What we’re left with is not medicine — it’s manipulation.
The Deeper Wound

The real wound left by these practices isn’t just physical. It’s emotional. It’s spiritual. It’s relational.
Because when we violate a child’s body under the guise of care, we’re doing something far more dangerous than leaving a scar. We’re imprinting a message into their psyche:
“You are not safe in your body.”“You have no say.”“Those who love you may still hurt you.”
And that message ripples through lifetimes — in ways we are only beginning to understand.
But there’s more to this story. More than science, more than history. There’s what the infant feels. There’s what happens in the body and brain at the moment of trauma.
And that’s where we’ll go in the next post.
Because when we look through the lens of German New Medicine, something profound is revealed — not just about circumcision and vaccines, but about autism, shutdown, and the deep biological need for safety.
