Follow on Google News | Natural Family Planning Pioneer Josef Roetzer DiesAn Austrian doctor who studied more than 300,000 women’s fertility cycles in developing Natural Family Planning has died.
“CCL (Couple to Couple League), other NFP programs, and couples worldwide are indebted to Dr. Roetzer for his tremendous body of work and tireless dedication,” He developed a natural and inexpensive method of avoiding pregnancy based on basal body temperature and cervical mucus, which are symptoms of ovulation. The method was also taught by Dr. Edward Keefe, a New York obstetrician in 1953. “Many people are unaware that an accurate picture of the woman’s fertility was developed sixty years ago,” said Monica Cassidy of the Couple to Couple League of Chicago. “The natural methods were available and were just as effective in avoiding pregnancy as the birth control pill, which did not come onto the scene until the early 1960s.” Natural Family Planning Classes Taught Classes in Natural Family Planning are taught in 17 locations in the Chicago metro area, including southeast Wisconsin and northeast Indiana. The next series of classes will begin Sunday, Oct. 17, 2010, Resurrection Medical Center, 7435 West Talcott Avenue, Chicago IL 60631, taught by Dave & Mona Cattapan.
