Using eggwhites to conceive

  Tonie W.'s book says that you can use eggwhites to conceive when
  cervical fluid is lacking.  Anyone out there actually had success with
  this?  Isn't there any danger of salmonella poisoning?  And how exactly
  would one go about using eggwhites?

Dear Honour:
Egg white is a lubricant for vaginal dryness and a buffer for the sperm against the acidity of the vagina. If cervical mucus is truly absent, the sperm have no mechanism to swim through the cervix and artificial insemination is the better choice.
The egg is cracked and the yolk separated from the white. The white is then instilled into the vagina with a douching bulk or applied to the penis as a coating.
I have no information on the risk of salmonella from placing egg white in the vagina.
