 "The Whole Story"
 PCOS and infertility can go hand in hand. PCOS
(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a major cause of infertility.
A symptom of the condition
can be nine or fewer menstrual cycles per year. The disorder may also
cause heavier than normal bleeding during periods.
These conditions are the result of the ovaries failing to produce hormones
that keep the menstrual cycle regular. Because women with PCOS don't have
regular periods, many are unable to ovulate and become pregnant.
Insulin Resistance is a root
cause of PCOS, which prevents the efficient conversion of food into
energy because the walls of your cells have become de-sensitized to insulin.
This causes glucose and insulin levels in your blood stream to become severely
unbalanced, leading to an increase in free-floating glucose, which is sent
to your liver and converted to excess body fat. As a result, you may suffer from weight
gain and obesity, which, in turn, can lead not only to PCOS but also to
other serious health conditions like Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2
Diabetes.
| "I started taking Insulite PCOS system
in early November 2005 after hearing about you through the
internet and by the end of December I was pregnant. I am just
thrilled that I have been so lucky and don't know what I would
have done if I hadn't discovered Insulite and I want to thank
you all very much for helping me achieve my wish."

An estimated 5-10 percent of all women in their childbearing years have
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The numbers are rising along with America's twin epidemics of obesity
and inactivity. Researchers had long wondered why PCOS sufferers shared
a constellation of health problems, ranging from stubborn obesity and heart
disease to breast and uterine (endometrial) cancers and a 7-10 times higher
risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.
Because the symptoms vary so widely and you may not display all the
symptoms, doctors still very often misdiagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. In fact, 8 out of
every 10 women with PCOS could have Insulin Resistance, resulting in higher-than-normal
insulin levels which may act on the ovaries by increasing male hormones.
The end result is that a PCOS sufferer may stop ovulating, as well gain
weight, develop skin conditions like acne and skin tags and grow abnormal
facial and body hair. Other symptoms include decreased sex drive, high
cholesterol levels, exhaustion or lack of mental alertness, depression
and anxiety, sleep apnea (breathing problems during sleeping) and thyroid
complications.
| "After everything I had read I never thought we could conceive naturally, and am absolutely stunned, amazed, and blessed to have conceived after being on the Insulite System for only two months.... to actually be pregnant with no medical or pharmaceutical intervention, such as Clomid is truly awesome. I hope other women achieve such beautiful results on the system also. I really don't know how to say thank you!"

Since there is no single solution that reverses Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or Insulin Resistance,
you must rely on a multi-faceted approach. A complete system, including
nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease specific),
a realistic exercise program, nutritional guidance and a support network
that can help you change unhealthy lifestyle choices, is required to address
these conditions.
If left unchecked, Insulin Resistance and obesity may create excess insulin
in your blood stream, a key symptom of PCOS which, as a result produces
an abnormal amount of the male hormone testosterone. The increased presence
of testosterone may prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg each month,
thus causing infertility.
Insulin Resistance, obesity and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are
causative factors behind infertility, which the Insulite
PCOS System can help to reverse. It is specifically designed to lower your
testosterone levels and reduce weight gain by reversing the symptoms
of PCOS in combination with a balanced, nutritious diet and regular
exercise. By decreasing testosterone, it's possible for you to reduce ovarian cysts
and help re-establish the delicate balance of your hormones, thereby enhancing
the likelihood of ovulation, without which there is no chance of becoming
pregnant.

Asked Questions (FAQs) on infertility.
