Foreskin for Your Face? New Anti-aging Ingredient from Europe
Thursday, November 20th, 2008Finally, a way to monetize infant boys. And a new beauty treatment for moms.
People have been doing strange things since the dawn of time to avoid the effects of aging. Some of them have been pretty gross like using bird poop (specifically nightingale poop), shark bile, snail gel, some just a waste of time and others like Botox (TM) and chemcial peels can be painful and risky. One of the rare side effects of Botox (TM)* is spontaneous death. (More on Botox (TM) risks)
But infant foreskin as an anti-aging ingredient? Who is going to harvest THAT? Is it a way for dollar squeezed obstetricians to make some extra dough? Do Rabbi’s, who also perform circumcisions, have an ethical issue with that? Do parents get compensated for the sale of placentas and foreskins? You mean that there is NO other solution for younger looking skin? Or is it just a patent rush?
Are moms going to start asking for their son’s foreskins for their scrapbooks? Or just for her face? Now that’s family bonding!
Apparently the fibroblast cells in the foreskin have the ability to build collagen. Collagen is the support structure in your skin and breaks down with age. Pollution, toxins, and lack of vitamin C increases the rate of the breakdown of collagen leading to faster aging.
C’mon! As a Longevity Coach and someone who started fighting aging a long time ago, in the last century,
I’m obviously in favor of doing everything you can to stay younger. Healthy aging, slower aging is a
side benefit of being healthy, not an end in and of itself.
As I’m writing this, I’m sitting here in shock. The Beauty industry is bizarre. And who supports all this? The men and women who will pay anything, do anything, just to avoid looking their age. What about ethics in anti-aging? Reason? Boundaries? And here’s the kicker-these things are NOT more effective than plant based solutions!! Shaklee’s Enfuselle product line has been clinically proven to reverse the aging process on skin by 10 years and slow future aging. We don’t need bizarre, questionable or ridiculous measures to look and be younger.
Shaklee Corporation has done it without body parts, poop and snail goo.
We don’t need bizarre, questionable or ridiculous measures to look and be younger. By all means, fight aging. Live healthy. Look great. Live Longer. And call me for a real alternative to crap.
*Botox is a trademarked name of the Allergan Corporation.
