In today's society, much of the burden of birth control involves chemicals, drugs and
often falls upon the women. However, it turns out the key to birth control might be better
placed on men. And the good news is, you don't have to look any further than hot water and
papaya seeds.
It turns out that sperm don't like heat and by bathing, or simply submerging the testes,
in 116 degrees water (just below the pain threshold) for forty five minutes each
day for 21 days, a male becomes sterile for the next six months. Doing this at 110 degrees
reliably produces sterility for the next four months and either way, it can be repeated
for continued effectiveness when the allotted time is up. This method dates back to the
writings of Hippocrates and derives its effectiveness from the fact that sperm needs to be
several degrees cooler than body temperature to be viable; this is why they hang outside
the body. Actually, sperm cell death happens at 95 degrees F, while normal cell death
happens at 108 degrees F - so this method effectively kills the sperm for a limited but
extended period of time.
In addition, papaya seeds have been found to completely remove the sperm from a male
monkey's ejaculation. Rats have also been tested with a compound from papaya seeds and
found to have "significantly reduced" sperm counts. At higher levels of
ingestion, the rats became completely infertile. The rats' researchers then declared the
long term, daily use of compounds from papaya seeds to be a safe and effective male
contraceptive.
Rabbits have also been studied with extracts from papaya seeds. After three months of
daily use, the rabbits were found almost completely infertile. The extract showed no
effect on their libido or organs - and the contraceptive effects were completely
reversible after 45 days of non-use.
Traditional cultures in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia have long eaten
papaya seeds as an effective and safe contraceptive. It appears a teaspoon of the seeds
per day is what traditional cultures use - and it takes three months of use to be fully
effective. Papaya seeds have been studied more frequently on males than females as a form
of contraception, but traditional cultures have used papaya seeds for both male and female
contraception.
For a simple papaya seed drink:
Blend 1/2 papaya, 2 or 3 bananas and 20-40 papaya seeds. Add a little stevia for
sweetness, if desired. Other fruit can be substituted, as desired.
Some Hawaiian papaya these days is genetically modified, so purchase papaya that wasn't
grown in Hawaii or simply buy organic. Papaya seeds are also antibacterial, help with
parasitic problems, and are rich in enzymes. http://www.naturalnews.com/z029126_birth_control_papaya.html
