Article resent: because of Lech lecha and the first Brit mila.
Leviticus: 12-3: And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Did you know that the 8th day is the safest day for the child to be circumcised??
The " rofe kol basar " ["the Healer of all flesh"] knew this of coursevery well and may have probably engineered -so to speak- the system of every newborn this way.
Of course these kind of medical facts are just an example of the wonderful ways in which we may recognize our creator.
On this day the clotting factors in the blood are super-optimal.
Before that date and after that date they are or sub-optimal or just "normal".
Do you know that metsitsa /metzitza [ sucking by mouth] of the blood during/after the brit[circumcision ]is the best and safest method there is to regulate the bleeding after the circumcision[and not by a tube]?
This was highly recommended by chazal and many rabbis of the past and today still hold the same opinion as far as I know.
That some/most Mohalim use a tube to day is probably because of fear for infections in our changing/changed world.
It has been shown that morning saliva [the first saliva in the morning, before rinsing the mouth and before eating or drinking anything makes the chance of transferring diseases nil. [even Aids!!]
How proper could it be -for this medical reason alone- to do the brit early in the morning ,even without rinsing the mouth before hand and not drinking anything!! and to use metsitsa instead of a tube.
I am speaking pure medically and not criticizing any other opinion or habit or stating any halacha.
For the same reason I advise people with severe acne to dab [litfoach] there face ,as first thing in the morning ,with the morning saliva ,directly after netilat yadayim] , without rinsing theri mouth first and before drinking anything.
The antibacterial [antiviral] effect of the first morning sputum is tremendous!!
