Subject: Re: CS>CS Re: good question - Contraceptive Loop
I do not believe this is correct. My understanding is that the copper
basically kills the egg, probably like it would a pathogen.
That brings up an interesting question. Would douching with Copper
colloid or Silver colloid effectively do the same thing?

Dear members A friend of mine who is CS devotee asked me a very good
question. She has a grown-up daughter who is a bit of a hypocondriac, so she
is really trying hard to get her onto CS. However, the daughter has a
conctraceptive loop fitted. As a medical pathologist, my friend is pretty
knowledgable about diseases and various medical treatments. She maintains
that the contraceptive loop works by creating a low grade infection - so if
a fertilized egg comes into contact with the loop, it is infected and
rendered useless. She says that no medical doctor will tell you this, but
this is apparently how a loop works. The question is this: Will CS clean out
the infection (I am certain it would) and thus render the loop useless in
its contraceptive function? . She says she'd rather have her daughter sick
than pregnant! (at this stage). BTW, I've heard that they used to make these
loops out of copper - which would also be anti-bacterial. (This tends to
confuse the issue even more) Can any of you informed members shed some light
on this dilemma? Any and all replies will be appreciated. Steve
