2 of my sisters have PCOS. I don't know a whole lot about what can help, but here is what I have heard:
Lose weight if overweight. The fat cells add more estrogen to the body which can make more cysts.
Follow a low-glycemic diet. This will help with weight loss and also those with ovarian cysts tend to have blood-sugar problems.
I have heard of some anecdotal evidence from the McDougall Diet people that their diet helps women with these problems. I don't necessarily agree with everything that this diet teaches, but it's worth checking into if it has worked for others.
Hi, James:
A friend wrote this to me last year--

"I got good news for you. Today I took my wife to get the final reports after the operation. The results of the first blood tests before and the last blood tests after shows that the cist was 9.9 cms diameter before the operation. About 2 and one half weeks after __?__ [can't tell you the name of the product because that's the agreement on this site] the cist that was removed was just 7.2 cms diameter. This is a reduction of 2.7 cms in diameter. That is quite a reduction. It just simply shrunk in less than 3 weeks!!! Thank you Carol for your blessed intervention. God sent you to us like an Angel. You can use this testimony to everybody you wish to contact.

I regret that I didn't know about Ramon's wife's cysts a few months instead of weeks before she had that surgery. All I can tell you is the product has very high anti-oxidants, 19 fruits you probably never eat, and the highest anti-inflammatory properties of any food out there. It's not pills. You can try to duplicate that yourself or email me at levakj@bellsouth.net if you wish.
Good afternoon. I was reading this post regarding ovarian cysts. Last week my doctor detected an ovarian cyst. I have been looking around for answers (natural ways) and so far this is what I've found:
1 cup of honey 100% natural
1 cup of tequila
1 cup of lime juice
1 cup of Aloe vera (peel it and extract the pulp)
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and blend for about 5 minutes. Store in glass container with cover and let is stand for one day. Take 2oz fasting (before breakfast) every day until the mixture finishes.
I got this recipe from a friend. She and her daughter both had ovarian cysts and they treated them with this remedy. For my friend, it took a month to see results, her daughter was okay after 15 days.
I just started using this treatment, so cannot tell you it works, but I am giving it a try. You can barely taste the tequila (I do not drink alcoholic beverages) but just in case, I am waking up at 4am to drink it so I can get up to work without a hung over ^_^
Let me know if anyone has used this remedy before.
Hi James,
There is a very good web-site called Woman to Woman, that address many of the health concerns of woman from a natural treatment perspective. I have found it to be very informative and extremely helpful. http://www.womentowomen.com/default.aspx
Dyna,
Did your honey-tequila drink work for you? How long did it take before you saw results? Did you go back to the doctor? What was his reaction? Please update!!
James,
I've been searching this sight to read as much as I can on PCOS until the library books I ordered come in. Here's the names of the books that are available in our area. Perhaps they'll be helful to you and your wife.
