Neem Oil: An Effective, Non Toxic and Extremely Inexpensive Contraceptive (http://cryptogon.com/?p=25272)

October 4th, 2011 Neem oil can be used as an effective, non toxic contraceptive. It is extremely inexpensive and could potentially wipe out billions of dollars in pharmaceutical industry profits per year.
National Research Development Corporation (India) (http://www.nrdcindia.com/pages/neem.htm):

Pressure extracted neem oil was found to have in-vitro spermicidal activity against rat, monkey and human sperms. On intravaginal application before coitus, neem oil was found to prevent pregnancy in rats, rabbits, monkey and human beings. When neem oil was applied intravaginally after coitus, it was found to prevent implantation and cause abortion in rats. All these effects were systemic and dose dependent. The application of neem oil did not alter the hormonal profile.
In short neem oil was found to be a promising (a) pre-coital vaginal contraceptive and (b) a post-coital contraceptive preventing implantation and also (c) an abortifacient agent. All these effects are reversible. Only one ml of oil is to be applied for these effects every time and the cost is negligible as one litre of neem oil can be used for 30 cycles by a woman if it is daily used as a pre-coital vaginal contraceptive. It is purely of herbal origin available in plenty and indigenous. The smell can be marked by adding lemon grass scent can be used with the help of an applicator.
Application of neem oil once daily for 10 days in rabbits did not cause any vaginal irritation. When it was applied once daily in rats for eight weeks there was no toxic effect.
Here are some extended excerpts from, Neem: A Tree for Solving Global Problems, National Research Council, 1992 (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=1924) (Other Sources: Google (http://books.google.com/books?id=60ArAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA105&ots=DMl3lyxC74&dq=neem%20spermacide&pg=PR1#v=onepage&q&f=false), Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0309046866/ref=nosim/cryptogoncom-20)):
BIRTH CONTROL
Research has shown that neem oil acts as a powerful spermicide. This finding is preliminary and may eventually prove of little consequence, but it may also prove of paramount importance. Perhaps 80 percent of the expected population explosion, which may double the number of people on earth in the next 40 years, will occur in countries where neem can be grown. An inexpensive birth-control method that can be produced in the backyards of even the remotest and poorest villages could be a vital resource.

I dunno about a contraceptive, but I use it in my garden to kill non benficial insects, molds, fungis, etc.
