You're probably aware that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a condition I have dealt with in my life, and also one from which many other women are suffering. I believe the latest statistics show that 1 in 10 American women have PCOS, and 1 in 4 women of Arabic and Indian decent are also dealing with this condition. From what I've observed, more women have it than are diagnosed, probably because getting a formal diagnosis is tricky. What you may not already know is that I have made it my sole focus to help other women with PCOS. I completely healed my body, and I never took an ounce of medication to do so. This is what I want for all women with PCOS: To overcome this horrible condition without using any synthetic (aka man-made) medications. I wrote Freedom from PCOS to share with other women how they, too, can take the steps I took to reverse this condition and live an purposeful, healthful, and balanced life. The book will launch May 15, 2010, but I want to give you some sneak-peeks of the book over the next two weeks. The biggest burden that lays on my heart is the long-term effects of PCOS. It's so scary to think what could happen to us if we don't somehow restore the function of the pituitary gland, so our hormones can naturally balance and weight loss can be achieved. You probably are aware that some of the side effects of PCOS include weight gain, sugar and carb cravings and fatigue. What you may not be aware of is that if your weight is not controlled, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that more than 50% of women with PCOS will have Diabetes by the age of 40. I was astounded to find this information! Moreover, side effects such as irregular or absent menses, ovarian cysts, and other hormonal problems can lead to infertility and endometrial cancer! "When you look at a large population of women with the polycystic ovary syndrome, there is a clear reduction in quality of life, driven primarily by hirsutism and excess weight." This is a quote from Dr. Azziz, who now serves as Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Professor in the Department of Medicine at The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He goes on to say that the quality of life for women with PCOS is improved with therapy treatments. Now, I'm not familiar with Dr. Azziz, but I am sure his method of treatments includes the conventional birth control pills/Metformin/etc. routine. Here's what I know: There is a natural, holistic way to treat PCOS that results in weight loss, reduced androgen/testosterone levels (no more facial hair), restored menses, balanced hormones, increased energy, and more. I know because I, along with many other women, have done it. PCOS does NOT have to be treated with prescription meds! In fact, taking these medications will never allow your body to naturally restore your health. There are 3 major steps I took to get where I am now and live a PCOS-free life.
