Here's a very interesting article I found on the world wide web.
Neem: An Effective Form of Contraception?
Class, today we're going to talk about contraception.
Pharmaceutical contraception is one of the great scams in conventional medicine. The pharmaceutical companies wage chemical warfare on the female body, while lifting her wallet each month. Not only is this insane and dangerous, but because it's a multi billion dollar business, it's standard operating procedure for millions of women.
The LADY-COMP is an electronic device that is extremely effective for preventing (actually, naturally avoiding) pregnancy. (An ex girlfriend and I used this for nearly a year and she didn't get pregnant.) Designed by researchers in Germany, and built to medical device standards, the LADY-COMP is approved for use by women all over the world.... but not in the United States! I'd like to see your doctor explain his/her way out of why this isn't readily available in the U.S. Those people are the tools and vassals of pharmaceutical companies. End of story.
But wait: It gets better. Have you ever heard of neem?
I'm going to copy some of the information here because there is an obvious effort underway to disappear this information via the Google memory hole functionality. If you're interested in learning more about neem as a potential form of contraception, this info should be enough to get you searching in the right direction:
From http://www.drdo.org/labs/dls/dipas/tech.shtml:
Neem Contraceptive
An indigenous contraceptive derived from Neem oil, NIM-76 as the active ingredient, has been developed and registered as `Concept`. This is approved as an ayurvedic product by the Drug Controller of the Government of Tamil Nadu. SIRI Ltd, a Hyderabad-based bulk drug manufacturing company has accepted commercialisation of the Neem contraceptive.
From http://www.barnard.columbia.edu/health/well_woman/qa/3_01d.htm:
Q:What is neem oil? Can it be used as a contraceptive?
A: Neem oil comes from the Neem tree, an evergreen tree found in both India and Burma invested with medicinal qualities. Most recently, neem oil has been found to be a very powerful spermicide- able to kill sperm within 30 seconds of contact. Trials on lab animals showed that a small amount of the oil in the uterus of the animal could provide contraceptive protection for up to 180 days. Further study involving the Indian Army and soldier's families provided validation of the initial laboratory claims.
Additionally, the oil has not been associated with any of the negative side effects common to many vaginal contraceptive creams and it has shown promise as emergency contraception. Scientists in India are working to develop a contraceptive cream for public use, however as of now the cream is not yet available in the U.S. Neem oil has not yet been processed through FDA safety and efficacy standards required before it can be used for medical purposes in the US. We can expect to see more studies over the next few years, and Well Woman will keep you informed of the latest developments.
Contraception.
Long-term contraceptive effects of intrauterine neem treatment (IUNT) in bonnet monkeys: an alternate to intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD).

Antifertility effects of intrauterine neem treatment (IUNT) was studied in bonnet monkeys. A single administration of 1 ml of neem oil by an intrauterine insemination catheter blocked fertility for 7 to 12 months. The effect was, however, reversible as all the animals became pregnant subsequently and delivered normal babies. The neem oil treatment had no adverse effect on menstrual cyclicity and ovarian functions. The uterus of neem-treated animals showed normal morphology. Immunohistological studies, however, demonstrated a significant increase in the number of MHC-II antigen-positive cells in the uterine endometrium following neem treatment, indicating enhanced antigen-presenting ability of the uterus; a feature that may be related to the observed antifertility effect of neem oil. The present investigation demonstrates that an IUNT can be used for long-term, reversible contraception, without any apparent side effects, and that the method could provide an alternate to currently used intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD).

I find it absolutely fascinating that a google search for neem contraceptive produces top results for companies selling conventional, pharmaceutical contraception!
