Pixie Dust that grows back finger...can it work on foreskin?

[Endless_Depression]

Go to Youtube, and type in "MEDICAL MIRACLE AMAZING PIXIE DUST GROWS FINGER" in the search engine, and watch that video.

Have you guys seen it before? Has it been discussed on here?

Is this for real? I read an article on google, mentioning some scientists who disclaimed it. But maybe they're the same types who would think that circumcision was actually a good thing back in the 80's: completely ignorant types of people.

But what's the truth? Does this work? It grew back nerves and everything, which is so complex. Say a circumsized man who was cut at birth makes a new, small cut around his shaft skin and applies the powder...I want to believe that this powder would cause his foreskin to grow back.

Yes, it has been discussed:

It is not as simple as it sounds and no foreskin applications have been tried yet as far as I know.

The article was posted a while back. Wonder how things are developing. This is very promising, however, I do wonder if they will apply such technology to men that desire a natural penis. I believe the technology is already here to regenerate a foreskin. The problem we may have is one of getting the rubber to the road. These companies need to be approached by qualified individuals in the restoration community and by medical doctors that realize that foreskin regeneration will be beneficial to a lot of men that regret having having part of their penis removed without any consideration as to what they might want as an adult.
Dr. Dean Edell is one individual that comes to mind. He has the reputation and credentials to help move things along. He also has associates in the medical field that would be very instrumental as well.

Well let's get the ball rolling, for christ's sake! I would pay a LOT of money that I barely have to get my foreskin back.

This country needs to become more aware of this problem. They need to talk about it on the news. I tell you...I have a friend who is intact, and he says I'm the first person he's ever had a heart-to-heart conversation about the differences between intact and cut are. He was utterly shocked when he finally understood just how much he had and the rest of us didn't. Before we talked, all he would hear from people were "uncircumsized" jokes and how gross uncut guys were. Nobody knows about this. The country needs to be woken up at this cruel, disgusting act that goes on every day as routine.

In other discussions about this, it seems that to "get the ball rolling" requires finding a doctor or medical researcher willing to give it a try. So the next step is to begin contacting doctors and/or researchers.

If one is found, then that doctor or researcher would then contact the company working on the pixie dust, and it would presumbaly go from there.

It would be quite tricky, since two disjunct tissues are fused together in circumcision. The inner and outer skin fuse together at the point where the foreskin was severed. The prepuce actually starts its development at the base of the corona, when the glans is up against abdomen as a fetus. The foreskin develops, then the penis lengthens within it. You would have to find some way to bypass this developmental step, too. You would probably have to remove the entire penis, then regrow it. :eek:

A dermal matrix could be infused with both types of tissue. A kidney, or, liver will have different types of tissue within the organ. I believe this would be far more simple than regenerating a new organ, but, I am way out of my league here.
Greg is correct. Medical doctors will have to contact the research companies. These companies and medical doctors will ignore individuals that are overly emotional about the subject. They will feel that these people may be beyond help and might suspect psychiactric issues are involved. This is why I mentioned Dr. Dean Edell. I have seen some of his presentations and he is very calm, cool and collected. He would be an excellent choice and he apparently does have an interest in this matter.
This thing is a little far down the line to consider cost, however, I would assume that it would be considerable. I was recently laid off and took a huge cut in pay. I can't even afford to indulge in "self pollution" at this time. Hopefully, things will improve and I can get a grip on this thing. Ummm...my finances, that is.
Dr. Dean has a friend that is a doctor in NYC named Douglas Whitehead. Dr. Whitehead indicated that he planned on developing a soft tissue expansion device that would help men develop a foreskin. Perhaps he would find this to be of interest. Also, Dr. Reed in Miami might be interested in the matter. I am aware that Dr. Reed is pro-circ, but, those are choices made by grown men and I don't see that as any problem. A doctor that performs custom circumcisions on men obviously knows the penis very well and would most likely be an excellent choice for procedures that reconstruct the foreskin. Anyway, this is the most stimulating conversation that I have had in a long time regarding foreskin restoration and I do hope that something becomes of it. Perhaps we could all sign a letter and forward it to one, or, more of these doctors. I feel we are on the edge of something here and I must say, it's long overdue.

I think it's obvious that this would first be tested on someone in the deperate situation of having an unfortunate ampuation far more extreme than routine circumcision.

I'll have to second that. I'm not a big fan of RIC, but, that penis removal thingy just has nasty little ring to it. I do think that tissue augmentation will be offered within a few years, but, I don't think that an ethical doctor would ever go for penis removal unless the technology was top notch and they were pretty darn sure that they could put a better one back on. Can't say that I blame them.
BTW, tissue augmentation is a pretty good term for restoring the foreskin by the afore mentioned methods. I just made it up. Maybe now I'll get a free T-shirt, or, something :)

a whole penis is not the same as a fingertip, I doubt itll happen, just specific things like skin or the glans or tunica. but im just guessing who knows

[jeff71913]

I actually believe that an entire penis can be grown. Some scientists grew a rabbit penis, or, something like that. With nerves and everything. For me it's just the idea of having mine cut off that bothers me. Replacing the entire penis just seems far more complicated and radical than adding some skin. Seems like more things could go wrong.

I also watched a video about Dr. Atala (hope I spelled that correctly) from Wake Forest. They stated that in the near future that sex organs would be grown in the lab. I'm sure that this will be done. I just think the skin would be more simple to grow and graft, or what ever it is that they do.

I think priority will probably go towards hearts, livers, kidneys, etc.

[frizzen]

Why would those things like hearts, livers, kidneys... get priority from researchers?
Remember, sex sells! :p

I hope we can get somebody to start looking into the possibility of this.

Besides, we can now pull stem cells from fat, it's bound to get cheaper and easier for the research to continue. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/02/070222102406.htm

I think that penile wounds from war would take priority over us too. Also imagine the cost of the treatment, it would be hard to get it covered under insurance as well. Don't get me wrong I would love to see it happen and would be ore then happy to do it. I am just being skeptical over weather it will be attainable to us.

Hell yeah! Think about it this way...they want more money to pay for more research, which would create more possibilities. Do you have any idea how much people would pay through the nose to get their foreskin back and improve their sex lives to degrees they never imagined? Would that not take care of all their money problems? Imagine if the word got out how damaging this was to sex life, in a country so obsessed with sex and porn. EVERYONE would pay whatever they could afford, no matter how much it would cost. If I didn't have the money, I would work my ass off just to get it.

[Regener8]

very interesting point....I agree.

i had just watched the ted talk of anthony atala today [link in foregen thread] and wondered - at around 15:00 min, he says for nerve, they still need stem cells to develop them.

This talk was from oct '09. ill just repost it here:

Woow man thats inspirational,that video rocks!!
