Hello fellow researchers of ways to recover from PCOS or syndrome X:
check this out: http://www.minndak.com they produce buckwheat products and have
a patent on the technology to single out the beneficial components of
buckwheat to be used as a "nutraceutical" ie, food as medicine. I am
currently consuming as much buckwheat, chick peas, oranges etc. that
contain d-chiro inositol as I can incorporate into my diet. I haven't
noticed any reduction of symptoms except that when I do this "do", I
don't do the "don'ts" that is I don't crave carbohydrates and self
medicate on them. Good luck to us all. Of course you have all seen the
http://www.insmed.com site.
