Natural lifestyle: NaProTechnology

Infertility is a reality for so many people. Unfortunately most turn to unethical methods like InVitro to solve the problem. Why is it so wrong? The manipulation of embryos in the lab, degrades the human body to a mere machine to be tinkered with. Conceived embryos are often frozen , discarded, or even aborted after conception because of the high number of lab created/implanted babies during the process. Those losses aside, anything that separates the unitive and procreative aspects of the sexual embrace are disordered and morally evil (the same logic explains why contraception, sterilization, surrogacy and homosexuality are also wrong).

But couples don't have to compromise their faith and principles. Enter NaPro Technology : an ethical alternative that respects the dignity of the persons, while proving to be less expensive but more effective than InVitro! I personally know women who have benefitted not just from infertility treatments, but also other numerous ailments related to the female reproductive system (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, etc.).

The following news clip will introduce you to the founding doctor and shows the success rate of his awesome institution:

Country Living: Poison Ivy

Well, my greed for luscious blackberries finally bit me on the behind... or shall I say the face. I have a horrible case of poison ivy. Just one of many reminders that living in the country isn't always good times. There are real dangers to face, and my education has just begun! Please pray for me. I can't take any steroids and the swelling is getting worse, not better.
