One of the areas in which scientific, natural medicine excels is in dealing with Polycystic ovary syndrome (often called polycystic ovarian syndrome), or PCOS.
I need to begin this article with a brief discussion of philosophy—more precisely conventional medical philosophy versus natural medicine philosophy.
What I’m about to say is in no way intended to be a criticism of anyone or any profession. I will merely state certain obvious facts:
Medical professionals often label diseases as being “incurable”, or having “no known cure”, simply because they have no cure for them.
Medical professionals often make statements like “the cause is unknown”, simply because they do not know the cause.
In these statements, the fact that there are proven, scientific natural treatments, methods, and knowledge is completely disregarded. As though they simply did not exist.
I would prefer they would say something like the following: “We, those of us who practice and study allopathic (conventional) medicine, do not have a cure, or we do not know the cause of your disorder, but there are other methods, other healthcare professions, other realms of knowledge.
But they almost never do.
My reason for writing the above is that in conventional medicine the cause of PCOS is considered to be unknown and there is considered to be no cure.
I disagree.
I am not criticizing, I am simply offering an alternative approach to a very serious problem, and I will repeat the statement with which I began this article:
