Leshan,

Do you have any more information regarding your experiments with neem
tablets? Are you still using this method for contraception? Is this
the only method of birth control that you are using? Any side effects?
Do you test yourself regularly to verify that the mobility is down?
Have you stopped the treatment for any period of time to ensure that
your mobility returns? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm very
interested to hear about your results. Thanks!

Best Regards,
Brent
