I spoke with a homeopath in Orange County about PCOS. He advised me to rub progesterone cream (I use Kokoro) on my ovary area every day like the bottle says. I use a nickle size dollup. He also gave me cinnimon (Planetary Formulas) and Maitake Mushroom for IR. When I went off Met, I did this and it seemed to work to drop 10 pounds but I stalled there. I was also living in the country in the sticks so I have no idea how I would have handled stress on that suppliment living in the city, but in the country I was even with my moods.
Here's the trick with progesterone. It takes 40 days or so to build up in your system. It will accumulate in the fat tissue like estrogen but the only reason you are estrogen dominant is beacuse your progesterone is low. If you raise the progesterone, the estrogen dominance wont be sooo dominant and it will help lower testosterone.
Now for the cinnimon and maitake mushroom. You can not eat carbs, especially the flour, rice, pasta - anything white. It just won't work if you do that. You also have to take much more than the bottle recommends. 3-4 pills of cinnimon with EVERY MEAL, not just 3-4 pills daily. And 2-3 pills of Maitake Mushroom with every mean as well. Usually with herbs, you have to up the dose 3xs to get the effect.
Also, do exersize of some sort. I'd still this but in doing some major relationship damage control, I opted for metformin because it works faster than the herbs. I couldn't wait for herbs to take effect and do it naturally because I was trying to rescue a relationshp from my mood swings and compulsiveness. Also, Matake Mushroom, the brand name brand is 30 bucks. Cinnimon is cheap and progesterone expensive. It's cheaper to buy Metformin at Walmart for me right now. |
