Ed Noor: This is not a new article; I
just came across it the other day. The simple method outlined herein, used
successfully in India for quite some time now, could bring about great changes
in both the birth control and the abortion industries. It is also, in the
truest sense of equality, a great bonus to both genders sharing conception
prevention. Needless to say big pharma makes sure people do not hear too much
about this procedure.

If
I were going to describe the perfect contraceptive, it would go something like
this: no babies, no latex, no daily pill to remember, no hormones to interfere
with mood or sex drive, no negative health effects whatsoever, and 100 percent
effectiveness. The funny thing is, something like that currently exists.
The
procedure called RISUG in
India (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) takes about 15 minutes
with a doctor, is effective after about three days, and lasts for 10 or more
years.
The doctor applies some local anaesthetic, makes a small pinhole in the base of the scrotum, reaches in with a pair of very thin forceps, and pulls out the small white vas deferens tube. Then, the doctor injects the polymer gel (called Vasalgel here in the US), pushes the vas deferens back inside, repeats the process for the other vas deferens, puts a Band-Aid over the small hole, and the man is on his way.
If this all sounds incredibly simple and inexpensive, that’s because it is. The chemicals themselves cost less than the syringe used to administer them. But the science of what happens next is the really fascinating part.
The
two common chemicals ~ styrene maleic anhydride and dimethyl sulfoxide ~ form a
polymer that thickens over the next 72 hours, much like a pliable epoxy, but
the purpose of these chemicals isn’t to harden and block the vas deferens.
Instead,
the polymer lines the wall of the vas deferens and allows sperm to flow freely
down the middle (this prevents any pressure build up), and because of the
polymer’s pattern of negative/positive polarization, the sperm are torn apart
through the
polyelectrolytic effect. On a molecular level, it’s what
supervillains envision will happen when they stick the good guy between two
huge magnets and flip the switch.
With
one little injection, this non-toxic jelly will sit there for 10+ years without
you having to do anything else to not have babies. Set it and forget it.
Oh,
and when you do decide you want those babies, it only takes one other injection
of water and baking soda to flush out the gel, and within two to three months,
you’ve got all your healthy sperm again.
The
trouble is, most people don’t even know this exists. And if men only need one
super-cheap shot every 10 years or more, that’s not something that gets big
pharmaceutical companies all fired up, because they’ll make zero money on it
(even if it might have the side benefit of, you know, destroying HIV).
If
this sounds awesome for you or your loved one, get the word out. Share this
article. Or link. Or this link. Or this one.

Do something! A revolutionary contraceptive like this needs all the support it
can get.
UPDATE: A lot of people are
asking to be kept in the loop. So here’s the clinical trial/mailing list sign-up from
the Parsemus Foundation
to get further information about this procedure’s development. And again,
please fill out the short non-spam petition to get the procedure funded and
keep buzz going.
