History and Practice of Circumcision
Posted by PRS on June 26th, 2006
The practice of removing some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis is called circumcision. The word circumcision itself comes from two Latin words; circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Although usually thought of as pertaining to males, circumcision is also sometimes associated with females and refers to a variety of procedures performed on the female genitalia. Circumcision is usually performed for religious, cultural, and medical reasons. In some cases, elective adult circumcision is performed for body modification or aesthetic reasons.

The Effects of Zinc on Fertility
Posted by PRS on June 9th, 2006
Studies have shown there exists a definite link between Zinc and the production of sperm by the testicles. In one such study a group of men were given daily supplements of Folic Acid and Zinc Sulphate in order to assess the effects on spermatogenesis. Researchers found these substances significantly increased the sperm concentration in sub-fertile men.
This particular study was conducted over a period of 26 weeks. A daily dosage of 5 milligrams of Folic Acid and 66 milligrams of Zinc Sulphate was used and no reported side effects were observed.
