Does anyone have natural remedy reccomendations for PCOS?

PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) I am looking for mainly weight gain, fatigue, and abnormal menstruation homeopathic remedies.

YES!!!!!!!! I was diangosed over a year ago and struggled with the same things. In the most basic terms...PCOS is a hormone imbalance and several docs told me until you get your hormones balanced, you won't be able to lose weight. PCOS helped me gain 85 pounds in just over 2 years...and I have NEVER had a weight problem. I see a naturopathic doctor (used to practice mainstream (MD) medicine be he saw patients weren't being helped with drugs...) so they use all natural stuff. I started seeing him in March 07 and am so pleased. (www.hotzehwc.com). Consider looking for an ND in your area...otherwise MDs will just want you on drugs that have side effects and don't help.

As far as weight gain...I am FINALLY losing!!! YIPPEEE!! I lost 10 pounds in the first 30 days. I have insulin resistance and if it's not controlled now, it WILL turn in to diabetes. I cut out ALL sugar and yeast. When I say ALL, I mean ALL. Sugar and all the other things it's called in food labels...nothing white really....no flour (I use ground up slow cook oatmeal), no sugar, no refined sugar, no rice, no potatoes, no bread, no pasta...etc. Sugar is in bread, it's in condiments...etc. Oh, no dairy. I FEEL fantastic too! I don't hurt anymore, I focus sooo much better at work, I am not tired all the time. Here' s complete list/guidelines: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=9009...

I am on several natural bio identical hormones too. You need a ND for those.

I am taking many supplements to build my immune system back and help my blood sugar levels and to help me lose weight. But two things that I KNOW have helped...Tropical Traditions (look for it on the internet/quality health food stores) Virgin Coconut oil. My doc gave it to me! It's sooo healthy plus it's antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and people take a tablespoon before each meal, in smoothies as a salad dressing and it curbs your cravings for sweets, makes you feel full faster. Here's a site with good info and look at the menu to the left...weight loss, fatigue...http://www.coconutdiet.com/index.htm... If you aren't TOO hormonally imblanced this may get you back in line.

Also...start learning about what you're eating. You'd never know that margarine and canola oil mess with a females hormones! That's not good for us! I cook with olive or coconut oil now...Here's a site I found recently and it was a REAL eye opener. It's got new articles everyday...www.newstarget.com and what's so cool about this guy, he's on our side. He gets NO $$ whatsoever for what he writes. It's honest, it's truthful and realistic. He's got free ebooks on that site too. If you want to know how he got there...learn about HIS health problems and how he fixed them all...got off all the meds and is sooo healthy now. www.healthranger.com. His name is Mike Adams.

The other thing I want to show you is Iodine. http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=815... This is one of the things my doc has me on and I started to read about it and found this Curezone.com group. I have started increasing my iodine (Iodoral in pill form, and lugol's in liquid form) and have noticed an increase in weight loss because of it. I also have way more energy the days I remember to take my Lugol's in fruit juice. At the top of the page you can do a search about PCOS and you will find posts related to a FANTASIC site...all research etc. about how Iodine dissolves breast cancer and ovarian cysts. http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/... I have started to buy my Iodine from this site because it's half the price from what my doc sells it for and it's helping a charity. I have rampant breast cancer in my family so I will be on it forever to prevent it! This site will show you the other supps you need to take with it...there are only 3 or so.

Here's another article that talks about iodine curing PCOS. http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=8965...

And have you been to www.soulcysters.net? That's the place I started....THOUSANDS of women with PCOS talking about their meds, their natural remedies, their symptoms...it's just FASCINATING. Made me realize that even though my case is severe...it can always be worse.

And here's a low impact workout... 15 minutes a day...that PCOSers have great results with. Just look at their stories! http://t-tapp.com/

GOOD LUCK Cyster. ;) Hope this helps you....
