How did you know you had PCOS?
After years of confusion, blood tests showed the PCOS. My sis was diagnosed last year too. For years she didn’t believe she had it, since she was taking the pill, which is known to mask symtoms. Interestingly, PCOS is a sydrome, meaning a collection of symtoms, rather than a “disease” persay. One can have all or some of the symtoms. When I say that a high raw diet reversed my PCOS, I mean that my symtoms have faded: Ovary pain, severe pms, abnormal weight gain, acne, etc.There is hope.
I thought I would mention here, I don’t advocate that anyone discontinue medications, some conditions truly warrent them, make life liveable & more fruitful. However, I do believe that many people thru a healthy diet, lifestyle change, and overall improvement of thier body’s ecology & terrain, can reverse the ravages of disease…thereby negating the need for continued medical treatment.
Personally, I know my PCOS was heriditary. My sister has it too, and if one goes by only visible symtoms, my mom and grandma had it too…(they didn’t know about PCOS in those days, and mom is long past menapause now!
I know that when I first started researching PCOS & detox I underwent HUGE cleansing from my ovaries. My periods were all at once heavy and painful, and I would be nautious and constipated all the the same time. My regular doc at that time had been saying I was “kinda cookoo” claiming it was mostly in my head. I had lots of phantom pains that would fade in and out of severity…But, within 6 months I was bleeding much more regularly, and I really think that was due to using the natural progesterone cream…I used the between 1998-2002 I think. Then, after speaking with a nurse, I decided as young as I am (at the time I was 30,) I knew I should try to wean off it, and hope that my system was regulated.
In 2003 I went raw, and have no real return of the major symtoms. I haven’t had my blood tested regularly for my hormone levels since going raw, so perhaps I still have higher levels of theAndrogens at times, but, as I said, I feel so much more in touch with my body, that I don’t believe Iam in the same place as I was back then. Certainly don’t have the strange ovarian pains and chronic cystitis reoccuring anymore! [2006 test showed my progesterone still a bit low, but estrogens were balanced and DHEA & Androgens were decreasing.]
I really believe, and this is something that was reiterated by my last practitioner as well, detoxification goes a long way in aleviating this disorder. If I am genetically predisposed, does that really mean I am DOOMED to suffer from it? Perhaps it is a predisposition, that when the body is taken care of properly won’t manifest. (Kinda like how they say certain babies lack certain liver enzymes to detoxify mercury, and when given vaccine inoculations which use mercury as a preservative they develop autism…?) I don’t know, I only know that if I work to keep my blood sugar stable, and keep my body clean, I don’t see symtoms…Since they have shown a real clear link between PCOS and blood sugar/syndrome X, I for one believe there is a dietary connection.
