Elective Surgeries

Unnecessary surgeries could easily be the topic of another entire book. Many operations that were once considered “routine,” such as tonsillectomies and operations for “lazy eye,” have now come into question. Always seek second and third opinions to assess if a surgery is really necessary. Also, without going into depth, suffice it to say that there are two procedures administered routinely due to their purported health benefits that you would be wise to question. These are circumcision and cesarean surgery. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages by reading as much as you can and talking to professionals on both sides: those who advocate and those who discourage the procedure. (If you are planning to have your first baby or more children, you can read about cesarean surgery, circumcision, healthy pre-natal and birthing practices and infant development in our first book, Trauma Through A Child’s Eyes: Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing published by North Atlantic Books in 2007. Extensive information and further references on these topics can be found in Chapter Ten of that book.)
