If you are wary of the chemicals and hormones now being used in most contraceptives, you might be interested to know that there are many foods and other items in your kitchen that can be made into effective spermicides. The author has experimented with a multitude of such items and salt and lemon juice in certain concentrations have proven to be as effective as commercial spermicides with no harmful effects. This book gives the exact formula and how to prepare it in your own kitchen. This gel has been thoroughly tested for effectiveness and safety.

A Little Bit of Salt and LemonReviewed by Jonathan Collin, M.D.
Contraception Naturally!
by Dr. Francis J. Trapani, D.C.
CJ Frompovich Publications, 1984, Softback, 118 pp. $5.95

Over the years, I have searched for a patient guidebook on contraception. Trapani's Contraception Naturally! not only offers a thorough, "user friendly" guide to conception and contraception, but suggests alternative contraceptive measures. All too often the patient walks away from the Ob-Gyn office with few alternatives, shrugging off the side-effects of the birth control pill, because there is no other option. Trapani runs through each of these options with nearly hands-on discussion of their use and application, side effects, and contraceptive failure rates. The chapter on methods of contraception can certainly save a patient a trip to Planned Parenthood, not to mention re-educating both partners on the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen contraceptive.
For the more naturally inclined, kitchen spermicides offer alternatives to the commercially available chemicals that are currently used in the sponge and with the diaphragm. Trapani notes that nonoxynol-9 is not innocuous; studies of its intravaginal absorption in rats and rabbits suggest a possible teratogen and carcinogen.
The authors tested a number of kitchen spermicides including salt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, and boric acid. Results were determined by Dr. Nancy Alexander of the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center who devised a test specifically to answer the question "How much spermicidap power is enough when the material is to be used as a barrier?" in her test, which she termed the "Plug Test," a capillary tube is loaded with cervical mucus from primate donors. One end of the tube is plugged with the kitchen spermicide to be tested. The plugged end of the tube is immersed in a sperm sample from a normal donor and maintained in place for 1 hour. After that time, the tube is evaluated microscopically to judge the intact plug (or migrated, disintegrated plug) and the presence and condition of sperm which have successfully migrated pas the plug into the cervical mucus. The authors found the following spermicides produced sperm progression of less than 10mm through the plug and 0% motility after one hour:
