Synopsis

A factual guide explaining many important subjects concerning girls' and women's bodies. The book shows how, by natural signs it is easy for a woman to recognize her days of fertility (pregnancy likely) and days of infertility (pregnancy not possible) and explains the scientific method of natural fertility regulation - natural birth control - the Billings Ovulation Method (a woman can become pregnant during only a few days each menstrual cycle). "Body WORKS" explains how many days and how to recognize them, thus offering a safe and reliable, natural alternative to the pill and the IUD without their side-effects, the condom, spermicides and the obsolete and redundant "rhythm and calendar" method of birth control. This volume offers knowledge and explanations about the female body and the reproductive system, and covers topics such as: the menstrual fertility cycle; natural birth control; the pill and it's harmful effects; the 11 per cent failure rate of the pill used by teenage girls; the five to 42 per cent failure rate of the emergency (morning after) pill; reducing the risk of endometriosis; the risk of STD infection; that abortion can start breast cancer; 13 things you can do to protect against breast cancer; why the condom is no guarantee against AIDS; diet, exercise and fat fighting; outsmarting the female fat cell; and a revolutionary 12-week programme.
