The Fertility App Symbol on your Phone
http://app.knowyourfertility.net is the easy-to-use app that allows us to chart
I have had requests for an app symbol to access the app easily from the home screen of phone or tablet. Because the app is not on the app store, an app symbol does not immediately show up on your home screen when you go to the link. I did not put the app on the app store because I wanted the app to work on all phones. But here is how to get the symbol:
To save the Fertility icon to your home screen:
When using Google Crome browser: download the app from the link above. Look in the upper right hand corner for 3 little dots stacked vertically. Click on the dots. You will see some choices. Click on Options. Then click on Add to Home Screen. This should put the symbol on your home screen – a blue drop with Fertility written underneath.
When using Safari: Download the app from the above link. Look in the upper right hand corner for a box with an upward-facing arrow. Click the box. You will see various options. Click on Add to Home Screen. You should now have a blue water drop symbol with Fertility written underneath it.

Dissolving Tumors with Castor Oil
The hardest thing about self healing may be the necessary switch of allegiance from the medical establishment to natural remedies and our own intuition. If you can, or have already, made that switch, you will learn to treasure the following simple, although messy, remedy that will protect your loved ones from tumors of all kinds.
Over the years I have seen this remedy work for myself, my friends, and my daughters. It gives me peace of mind that it will be passed on to my grand daughters.
In Spanish, castor oil is called “The Hand of Christ.” Once you become familiar with it, you will understand why. So here is how to use a pack of castor oil to dissolve tumors:
It will be best if you take on the task of making and applying the castor oil pack for your loved one – at least the first time.
- Have your “client” sit or lie down comfortably. Let’s say the tumor is on the breast.
- Make sure to have your client sit or lie on a towel or a water-proof sheet to protect your furniture. Also make sure they are wearing old clothes. Even though you are careful, some of the castor oil will certainly escape to unintended places.
- Cut a piece of old towel large enough to cover the breast and the area around the breast – liver area, lymph tissue under arm, etc.
- Saturate the cloth with castor oil and heat the castor oil-soaked cloth on a skillet. Turn it over with tongs until it is very warm but not enough to burn. Feel it carefully. The cloth should be warm and soggy, but not dripping.
- Carefully lay the cloth over the tumor and surrounding area, being careful the temperature is comfortable for the client.
- Place a piece of plastic over the warm cloth. I usually cut up a plastic bag for this purpose.
- Over the plastic, place a heating pad. Over the heating pad, place a thick towel to hold in the heat.
- Now, both of you relax, and have a cup of tea and chat, etc. You will want to keep the pack on the site for an hour. The new heating pads have a safety shut-off at 15 – 20 minutes. Therefore you will need to turn the heating pad off and on a few times to keep it warm/hot for the full hour.
- The above procedure should be repeated daily until the tumor is dissolved. I have seen breast tumors dissolve in 10 days, and huge uterine fibroids shrink to half size in two months.
- Tips: Frankincense essential oil is reputed to have tumor dissolving qualities, and so some women like to rub a drop of Frankincense oil on the tumor before beginning the castor oil pack treatment.
- According to herbalists, tumors indicate a lack of potassium. Tell your client eat their greens! A green supplement is also a good idea – alfalfa or barley powder. Swanson’s has a concentrated coconut water that is a potassium supplement. It tastes pretty good when added to juice or regular coconut water.
- While chatting with your client, make sure you take care of any unanswered questions about her body. Make sure she knows you love her.
- Thanks for being the Wise Woman in your family and community.

Neem Oil as Spermicide
I found this interesting medical study on a natural spermicide! – neem oil! Neem is a tree that grows mostly in tropical areas. It is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
“In an uncontrolled clinical trial involving 225 healthy fertile women aged 18- 35 years performed to assess the efficacy of the neem oil as an anti-fertility agent, subjects were instructed to insert 1 mL of the oil into the vagina with a plastic applicator 5 min prior to coitus and no other contraception was used. After 16 months of use only three pregnancies due to drug failure were reported; there were 30 pregnancies due to noncompliance (i.e. women who did not use the oil as instructed).”

More info:
“Scientists at India’s Defense Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) have …..found that neem oil is strongly spermicidal. Rhesus monkeys and human spermatozoa, for example, became totally immotile within 30 seconds of contacting the oil.
Studies in 20 rats, 8 rabbits, 14 rhesus monkeys, and 10 human volunteers showed that neem oil applied intra vaginally before sexual intercourse prevented pregnancy. Histo-pathological studies on the rat tissues (vagina, cervix, and uterus) showed no ill effects. By contrast, nonyl-phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol, the spermicide in a popular vaginal contraceptive cream, produced obvious irritation. Radioisotope studies indicated that neem oil was not absorbed from the vagina.
As a follow-up to these experiments, the Indian army provided neem oil to 20 soldiers and their families as a birth-control measure. This trial was considered so successful that the colonel in charge of the program was honored by the prime minister. A neem oil formulation called “Sensal” is now sold in India for contraceptive purposes.”

Problems with the NuvaRing
Problems with NuvaRing
“Easy. Safe. That’s really how it was presented — easy, safe, low-dose hormone — you know, and it turns out it wasn’t. It wasn’t that at all,” she said.
Even though NuvaRing has about the same risk for blood clots as newer birth control pills, Henry said she wishes she had known that the incidence of life-threatening blood clots is double with NuvaRing compared to older birth control pills.
“There are other options out there for birth control that have risks, but not doubling the risks,” Henry told CNN. “If I would have known that I never would have taken it.”
Neem oil as a contraceptive?
I found the following medical abstract which says that neem oil acts as an effective spermicide:
Contraception. 1990 Oct;42(4):479-87.
Volatile fraction of neem oil as a spermicide.
Abstract
The volatile, odorous fraction of neem oil coded as NIM-76 obtained by steam distillation was investigated for in vitro spermicidal activity. The data showed that the minimum concentration which inhibited spermatozoal motility was 0.25 mg/ml for rat and 25 mg/ml for human spermatozoa. The effect of the drug on spermatozoal motility was found to be dose-dependent. The activity of this drug was not altered in the presence of vaginal or cervical mucus. Intra-vaginal application of NIM-76 in rabbits showed no irritation to the vaginal mucosa.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
I understand from Indian friends that neem oil is considered an effective contraceptive in India. In addition neem oil is known as a lubricant, and probably offers some protection from vaginal and sexually transmitted diseases. Information on neem contraception was included in ancient Ayurvedic medicine:
“In the first century B.C., Charaka, the Indian physician, gave a detailed method for using neem for contraception. Cotton soaked in neem oil was kept in the vagina for fifteen minutes before intercourse. This killed the sperm. ” – http://www.discoverneem.com/neem-oil-birth-control.html
It seems that, considering health hazards for women from many birth control methods, and the availability of neem in many parts of the world, we may be overlooking an important answer for women and families….. I have friends who use this method with confidence. And there seem to be a variety of studies online in the medical literature. I welcome any input or added information on this topic.
