Re: heat?

Chris:

The best way to find out about the wet heat method is to write to the
Curator of the Smith College Library, Sophia Smith Collection, Smith
College, Northampton, MA 01063. Ask for the unpublished paper by Dr.
Marthe Voegeli, Contraception through temporary male sterilization,
(1956). They will send it to you and ask for a small copying fee.
When I got mine a couple of years ago, it was 25 cents/page, and
there are 4 pages, I think.

Voegeli found the following: If you sit in a hot tub for 45 minutes
per day for 3 weeks straight, then you will become temporarily
sterile for a period of time, although sterility may not be
immediately effective after the 3 week bathing process.

Voegeli gave the relationship between "hot" and "a period of time" as
follows:

107F: 2 - 5 months

110F: 4 - 7 months

116F: 6 - 8 months

The temperature of 116F that you usually see attached to this method
is very hard to do, but 107F can be done. 116F was special because
this temperature gave particularly uniform results in Voegeli's multi-
ethnic test subject group.

After the first 3 week bathing process, you could avoid the problem
of the dalay in sterilization following subsequent 3 week bathing
processes, by overlapping the next cycle with the sterile period.

Disclaimer: This method is not a conventional method approved by the
medical establishment, so you alone are responsible for verifying the
performance of the method and for whatever results you get.

Good Luck,

JP

I have looked into gossypol myself and as far as I can tell, it is impossible to buy pure gossypol. However, you may be able to buy unrefined cottonseed oil...
