Basically what everyone else has written is correct. It is the leading endocrinological disease in women of child bearing age (5-10% of this population). Some basic important facts of the syndrome: (1) insulin resistance This seems to be inherent to the syndrome. However, overweight/obesity will worsen this, and can lead to diabetes. Control of blood sugar is very important. (2) ammenorhea This is usually what gets women into a doctor's office in the first place, and how PCOS gets discovered in a woman. (3) lifestyle modification (like what you are doing)...helps immensely. There have been many peer reviewed studies (citation if you want) that compare lifestyle modification with pharmacological intervention. They generally find the two are equal, but there are no side effects (or trips to pharmacy and copayments) for lifestyle modification. (4) Different counsels have different diagnostic criteria, but it is generally diagnosed if patients have high levels of androgens in their system/high insulin levels. It is true that it is a mystery how PCOS begins, but prevailing thought now is that insulin resistance leads to high insulin levels, which basically wreck havoc on the pituitary gland, which begins a cascade of signal proteins/hormones ending in high androgen (testosterone) levels. Good luck with everything. Let me know if anything else you need. Hey, i did my master’s thesis on PCOS. Basically what everyone else has written is correct.

It's a wonderful natural remedy!! I've been taking it for anemia and it has stopped my menstrual cramps completely! I mention it because I think when I was researching it online I saw some people refer to it for PCOS. Two sites I found are: http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/blackstrap-molasses.html and http://www.earthclinic.com/. Hope this helps! Have you looked into blackstrap molasses?
