My Naturopathic Doctor, Jackie Yurko, (in Edmonton) has been amazing ! !

I went off the birth control pill (Diane-35) in August 2004 after being on it for 5 years (I developed awful side-effects, but didn't think the pill was the culprit after so many side-effect free years). By January 2005, I still hadn't got my period back and was suffering from severe hormonal ups and downs, anger/rage, PMS like symptoms only 10x worse - definately did not feel like myself. I have always been treated for my PCOS by traditional doctors (for 10 years, since my diagnosis). After all the horrible side-effects of Diane-35, I felt like I was finished with all their prescriptions and easy fixes. So, I sought out answers on this website and others like it for alternative therapies. I was overwhelmed at the prospect of a whole new approach to treating my disease, so my next step was to find an expert that could fine tune a plan for my specific needs and issues. This is where Dr. Jackie Yurko came in. She has totally given me my life back without side-effects. She also has been the only doctor that has taken the time to listen to me on a consistant basis. I have a say in how I treat and manage my PCOS (which is NOVEL) --- I just can't thank her enough.
