Hi everyone,
I felt I should post here about what has given me some relief from very aggravating PCOS symptoms. I'm a long-time lurker and very infrequent poster on Cure-Zone - but I have learned a lot from this site...
I'm a bit of an atypical PCOSer - I'm not overweight - I'm about 5'2" and weigh 110 lbs... I'm very petite and fair with light blond hair and small bones... and yet I still have quite excessive facial hair growth (quite a beard and mustache of dark-brown, very thick hair), I have multiple cysts on both ovaries, I have very irregular, anovulatory periods, breakthrough bleeding or hemorraging and really really bad mood swings/PMS type symptoms... I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 13 or 14, and I'm 38 now. I'm probably still skinny because I eat extremely low-carb (no wheat, essentially).
I have tried many many supplements, birth-control pills, metformin/glucophage, so-called insulin stabilizers and "miracle cures." You name it, I've tried it. But interestingly, things got a lot better for me when I stopped trying to put stuff into my body and started working on getting things OUT.
I used to poo only about twice a week and thought this was totally normal... uh wrong. When I started doing enemas (especially ACV enemas), colonics, Colon Cleanses etc., and focused on getting myself to go at least once a day, my PCOS symptoms got a lot better. My bleeding stopped being so out of control, my ovarian pain was reduced greatly, my mood cleared up, my Sugar tolerance improved (occasionally I cheat with chocolate, so I know how I feel after I eat sugar), and I swear, I felt like even the facial hair was not growing in as quickly.
If you think about it - it makes a certain amount of sense. Ovaries are really close to the large intestine - in fact, everything's really close and packed in pretty tight in there. It can't be good for them to sit around next to a bunch of old waste. Also, keeping things moving and getting out of your system improves your digestion which is bound to impact your insulin sensitivity. And it is true that the liver metabolizes estrogen and gets it out of your body - if the liver is clogged and having a hard time - you will have hormonal imbalance issues. Once digestion clears up the liver might not be so stressed...
So what I do is try to keep things moving - eat low carb (no Sugar (aside from the occasional cheat), NO Aspartame (that stuff is pure evil), no wheat), plenty of veggies and protein, take enemas, colonics, colon cleansers, yeast fighters (I think systemic yeast has a lot to do with PCOS - but I can't prove it), probiotics, Liver Flushes and the occasional cup of coffee if I'm really constipated one day.
This has all helped - it hasn't cured me, but I hope if I keep it up I might continue to improve. Just my two cents - but if anyone has a quick miracle cure for PCOS, I'm all ears.
Best to everyone,
AJL

This is a reply to # 144,126Huh... its VERY interesting that you say that....
i don't have any fillings or dental work whatsoever - never even had a cavity - so i never really thought about mercury toxicity even though i know that "incurable" candida often comes from merc. tox.... and my candida is really really really resistant to treatment, let me tell you (i've tried everything).
but the thing is - i grew up in new york city - and i've lived here most my life, right in manhattan... so i'm beginning to wonder if breathing all those car fumes and exhaust all my life might not have overloaded me with heavy metals somehow? i've had a hair analysis done and i don't think it showed much... but is it true that merc. poisoning doesn't really show up in blood or hair tests?
may i ask, what makes you say that alot of people with candida and pcos have a mercury problem? is this something you've picked up from reading the boards here or do you have other sources? (i only ask because if there's more places to read up on this i'd love to know about them! i love doing research).
thanks so much for posting - you've given me a lot to think about - maybe i'll try a few chelation detoxes or something... and thanks for any further info.
best,

This is a reply to # 144,127oh, and i did smoke for many years too - camel filters no less - i smoked for about fifteen years, on and off. i know smoking increases your metal load - but it usually increases your cadmium - and i've read the symptoms for cadmium poisoning and they're not like my symptoms... but then who knows?
thing is, i haven't smoked in over 8 years now... so why is my candida worse now?
just thinking out loud - thanks for getting me to consider this angle.

This is a reply to # 144,127I don't know of a definative source. Since I know I have mercury and lead toxicity, candida and a mild form of PCOS, I belong to yahoogroups for all of these. You would be surprised how often people with PCOS will say, by the way, I also have candida and mercury fillings, etc. One of the women from the mercury list was going to start a PCOS list. It's just an association I made from being a long time lurker on the lists.
The best source for more information on metal toxicity, is the autism-mercury group: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/
It is mainly for adults chelating children, but adults are welcome too. There are two others, with somewhat less traffic
Adult-metal chelation
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/adult-metal-chelation/
Frequent-Dose Chelation
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/frequent-dose-chelation/?yguid...
If you are interested in doing any chelation with DMSA, DMPS, ALA or EDTA, it is important that you join and read the first group. I am saying this from personal experience. I had a doctor chelate me without knowing it while I still had fillings in and became extremely ill. I'm still recovering from that. Please pay attention to the dosing schedule. Most others use too much dose given not frequently enough. ALA must be given every 3 hours, DMSA every 4 hours, and DMPS every 8 hours, yes, even at night. The idea is to keep a constant level of a very low dose of chelator to avoid the bad side effects of redistribution. They also talk about other methods like clay baths, sauna, etc.
Even if you don't have metal fillings, you could still have the toxicity if you ate enough fish, from vaccinations and your mother having metal fillings, vaccinations or RhoGam injections while she was pregant with you.
Hope this helps,

This is a reply to # 144,130wow! this is incredibly helpful information. thanks soooo much. i will def. check out and read those yahoo boards and start to think about chelating...
but before i do chelate - i'd like more evidence that i really do have heavy metal toxicity - now its true i grew up in manhattan (lots of cars), my mom had lots of merc fillings, (don't know if she had 'em when she was preg though - or if they came after the kids - i'll ask her), and i smoked for 15 years or so... but is that really enough for merc. tox? no use treating something if it ain't there...
may i ask you how you 'know' you have metal toxicity? b/c i've done two hair analyses now and while they do show low minerals - they don't show any high metals, per se...
just a question. if you're still out there - any info you can give me would be great.
thanks sooo much for pointing out this possibility.

This is a reply to # 144,132Mercury toxicity shows up in the hair because it upsets the balance of normal minerals like calcium/phosphorus and zinc/copper, etc. Other metals evidently do not do this. You can still have mercury toxicity because it can be sequestered elsewhere in the body.
So a hair test showing an imbalance of essential elements, and a history of:
eating seafood
silver metal fillings in yourself or your mother while pregnant
vaccinations
RhoGam given to yourself or your mother while pregnant
using personal care products (hair dyes,soaps, tattoos etc) or cleaning products or foods containing mercury (I know maraschino cherries are one). You can do an internet search for the complete list.
I know cigarettes are associated with another metal toxicity, it may be cadmium but I'm not sure.
I highly recommend Andy Cutler's book, or hanging out on the yahoo list called Autism-Mercury. BTW, there is aluminum in antipersperants and baking powder.
Best wishes and good luck to you.

This is a reply to # 144,122THANK YOU sooo much for sharing this information!! I have long thought there to be a link between eating my fiber bars and how I felt overall, and your post has confirmed this for me. I am 27 yrs old and have been through your trial as well, but thankfully you've saved me 10 years of anguish!! *********Hugggggggggsss******* I know there are alot of younger women who freak out and go on all the medication etc., but for those of us who want to manage it as naturally as possible, you are a huge encouragement!! Thanks again! lol
