A significant amount of
scientific data has now been published in peer reviewed medical journals
and textbooks regarding the scientific foundations of the CREIGHTON
MODEL FertilityCare™ System
and other means of naturally regulating human fertility. For those of
you who might be interested, the following list of references is provided
for your use. In addition, a new medical textbook tentatively entitled
"The Medical and Surgical Practice
of NaProTECHNOLOGY®" is in preparation. Cohen, MR, Stein, IF and Kaye, BM: Spinnbarkeit: A Characteristic of Cervical Mucus. Fertility and Sterility, 3:201, 1952.
