PCOS is caused by a high carb diet that raises insulin levels and excess insulin activates cytochrome, which causes the body to convert progesterone into excess testerone, which causes infertility and other PCOS symptoms.
1. The biggest key to quickly reversing PCOS is choosing good carbohydrates.
Fruits, mostly raw, not juice, green vegetables.
2. The next key is to eat low fat protein with every meal and snack, because protein stimulates the production of insulin's opposing hormone glucagon to counter the effects of insulin.
Seafood (sardines, salmon, shrimp), nuts, seeds, or poultry.
3. The third key is to eat good fats with every meal to make your cell membranes more fluid and insulin receptors more efficient, and reduce your body's production of insulin.
Seafood (sardines, salmon, shrimp), coconut oil, olive oil, avocado.

.Two highly regarded studies support using Diet as a key to reversing PCOS (in the studies most PCOS symptoms disappeared and fertility returned with a change in diet).
_Below are my notes on this disease.
.I have helped people in the past with some success - usually in a very short time.
.I hope some of these notes help you understand the disease and take the necessary action to reverse it.

_Diet is the biggest key to reversing PCOS.
.Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition where your body converts too much progesterone into the “male” sex hormone testosterone.
.This can result in infertility cysts and is linked to an increased chance of a variety of other diseases including heart disease, obesity and depression.
.Excess production of testosterone can also result in excess facial and body hair.
.Excess levels of a hormone called insulin are the most likely cause of PCOS.
.In clinical trials reducing levels of insulin resulted in the symptoms of PCOS disappearing and fertilty returning.
.So what is insulin and how does it lead to PCOS?
.Insulin is produced in your body when you eat carbohydrates.
.Carbohydrates include bread, pasta, rice, sugar, Sugar filled snacks, coke, sweet drinks, fruit juice, fruit and vegetables and more.
.Poor choices of food like sugar, most breads, junk food etc. have higher carbohydrate levels and will cause your body to release more insulin.
.Insulin activates an enzyme called cytochrome P450c17a.
.P450c17a stimulates your body to convert progesterone into androstenedione then into testosterone the male sex hormone.
.To put all this in simple language you can understand: if your diet is too high in carbohydrates your body can produce too much testosterone.
.When you produce too much of the male sex hormone testosterone your fertility drops and your body produces more facial and body hair.
.Also insulin stimulates your body to store fat (it stimulates a fat storage enzyme called lipoprotein lipase).
.Insulin also reduces levels of a “good” secondary messenger called cyclic AMP.
Cyclic AMP is required for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone essential to prepare your uterus for a fertile egg.
.Excess insulin is produced when you eat excess carbohydrates.
_So controlling your intake of carbohydrates and choosing good carbohydrates is the biggest key to reversing PCOS.
_The next key is to eat low fat protein with every meal and snack.
.Protein stimulates the production of insulin's opposing hormone glucagon.
.So eating protein with every meal and snack will help balance out the effects of insulin.
_The third key is to eat good fats with every meal.
.Good fats become part of your cell membranes making them more fluid and allowing your insulin receptors to work more efficiently.
.This can also reduce your body's production of insulin.
.So in a nutshell control insulin and PCOS should reverse quite quickly.
.For a step by step guide on how to eat for insulin control read Undersize Me or the free ebook From Depression to glorious health in six steps (see www.undersizeme.com for both books).

Treating FBD, PCOS and goiter with herbs

… I have had friends in the past who cleared up their fibrocystic breast disease (FBD) with herbs in a short time without a problem. But they did not use a singular herb but rather combinations, which tend to work much better and reduce the risk of adverse effects. Some of the herbs used included black walnut hull, red clover blossom, chickweed and vitex.
_The poster was also asking about polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and goiter, which are also very easy to address with herbs. I have seen a number of women successfully treat their PCOS with herbs and supplements such as chromium polynicotinate and magnesium salts to deal with the insulin resistance and herbs for the hormone imbalance.
_Goiters are not hard to address either, but depending on the cause there are different ways to address it. Hyperthyroidism is treated differently than hypothyroidism for example if people want to do it safely. And both can have multiple causes, so again it is important to get to the base cause rather than just giving them a Band-Aid treatment. For example, a lot of cases of hypothyroidism do not involve a lack of iodine and throwing iodine at it will not work. This is why I have always told people if you go to an herbalist with hypothyroidism and they simply tell you to take an iodine source you need to run because they don't have a clue what they are doing. Even the uptake of iodine is regulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). If people are not producing sufficient cAMP their ability to uptake iodine will be impeded. Unless addressed, iodine supplementation from any source is not going to do any good. This can also help explain why so many people have reported adverse reactions to stronger iodine sources such as Lugol's. Point is there is a lot more to proper thyroid function than iodine, which is one of the reasons I prefer herbs for the treatment of thyroid disorders as well. Herbs can cover a lot more of these aspects of thyroid function than simply taking iodine.
