In the news: Creighton Model FertilityCare in the Denver community

The Denver Catholic Register today published an incisive article by Julie Filby about the Creighton FertilityCare System and the Pope Paul VI Institute.

The institute is internationally recognized for developing the Creighton Model FertilityCare System and NaPro Technology (natural procreative technology). The Creighton Model tracks biomarkers to monitor hormonal events during a woman’s menstrual cycle to determine fertility. It can be used in conjunction with NaPro Technology to diagnose and treat reproductive and gynecological problems, and employ medical and surgical approaches to correct conditions while sustaining procreative potential.

What is NaProTECHNOLOGY?

NaProTECHNOLOGY — A Major Breakthrough In Monitoring and Maintaining a Woman's Reproductive and Gynecological Health

NaProTECHNOLOGY (Natural Procreative Technology) is a new women's health science that monitors and maintains a woman's reproductive and gynecological health. It provides medical and surgical treatments that cooperate completely with the reproductive system.

Thirty years of scientific research in the study of the normal and abnormal states of the menstrual and fertility cycles have unraveled their mysteries.

This is the first women's health science to network family planning with reproductive health monitoring and maintenance. It is a fertility-care based medical approach rather than a fertility-control approach to family planning and gynecological health.

NaProTECHNOLOGY uses the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System biomarkers to monitor easily and objectively the occurrence of various hormonal events during the menstrual cycle. NaProtracking provides valid information that can be interpreted by a woman and by physicians who are specifically trained in this system.

Unlike common suppressive or destructive approaches, NaProTECHNOLOGY works cooperatively with the procreative and gynecologic systems. When these systems function abnormally, NaProTECHNOLOGY identifies the problems and cooperates with the menstrual and fertility cycles that correct the condition, maintain the human ecology, and sustain the procreative potential.

Women now have an opportunity to know and understand the causes of the symptoms from which they suffer.
