Their arguments for circumcision are horrible and the statistics are not legitimate.

100% of circumcised men lost their foreskin during an unnecessary cosmetic surgery.

I'm using vitamin E, lotions, and anything else that will help with elasticity.

Maybe this is the only 'short cut' with restoring?

I'm taking 4 large vitamin E capsules and 4 biotin pills daily. Could that turn toxic too?

There's not much info on the nutritional aspect of restoring. I think restoring should be broken down into more of a scientific method. Nutrition and tension methods are equally important.

l am using different oils at the moment sometimes dry oil in a spray bottle that helps me to tug better when manual tugging the other oils are coconut and jojoba since i have been using these my foreskin has been quite elasticy and my glans has come up nice and pink

I take a protein whey supplement because I workout. I believe that it also helps out with skin growth. I also believe that any vitimin that can help the body to create collagen would be very good for restoring. And I've read that an active keratin cream (it must be "active" and along with vitimin C) can further induce collagen production in the skin. Collagen provides the necessary scaffolding for skin growth. Older people have signicifantly less collagen in their bodies, which is one reason they heal so much slower than youthful people. Collagen also gives skin a springy attribute.. something you might desire in your foreskin.

How would tissue with MORE elasticity help with restoration, when it's the RESISTANCE to tension (less elasticity), not the increased ability to give under tension, that aids tension to be the stimulus for added cell creation?

You would end up having to INCREASE the tension on more elastic skin just to stimulate it, not the other way around. Pointless. It would be like having a longer rope attached to some object you wanted to pull. You would haul and haul all day, with no actual tension placed on the object until you got to the last few feet.

Just a matter of simple physics in this case (although the actual process is far more complex)

The tension will still max out at a certain point. It just means that your restored foreskin will have more elasticity than it would otherwise. Which, I believe, would be a healthy thing.

[Distalero]

Why would it be healthier?

You have some theory?

The important question (I certainly don't know the answer!) may be:

Exactly what causes skin cells to divide in our situation?

A. Is the direct cause the applied tension? Or
B. Is the direct cause the increased distance between skin cells caused by the tension?

If the answer is B then increasing the elasticity of the skin while under tension would help. If the answer is A then no creams or lotions would help.

Personally, I use some cocoa butter on the skin while it is under tension. It helps to prevent stretch marks on my skin.
