I have been meaning to put together some of the information I have come across
in my

~ This is a good overview of PCOS with supplement and herbal recommendations:
http://www.marilynglenville.com/general/polycystic.htm
~ Good page about using the herb Vitex (chasteberry):
http://www.ovarian-cysts-pcos.com/vitex.html
~ This site has a lot of herbal resources, you'll need to do the footwork
though:

~ PCOS, diet, and insulin resistance:
http://www.womentowomen.com/insulinresistance/pcos.aspx

I also recommend checking out these great books:

Healing by Christiane Northrup
