I would recommend asking your doctor about your thyroid levels as well because women with PCOS are prone to having thyroid problems and one of the symptoms can be thinning hair as well.
But as far as information for alternative treatments for PCOS check out the messageboards at this site: http://www.pcosupport.org
They also have information on e-mail lists one can join. One of them is for those that want to do alternative treatment for PCOS.

The best thing to use is Metformin and birth control. If you won't be using that, it is a bit more difficult to loose the weight. Try to stay away from carbs, sugars and greasy food. Your body can't process this food. Once you start loosing the weight, you should start a period.

Try cinnamon. And tea. Don't know why, but I've heard it works. You can try Metformin(usually used for Diabetes) and be on birth control as well...that's what I did. I didn't notice any weight loss, though, so I stopped taking it.

I'm not big on alternative medicine, so I really don't know. But there are drug medications that can help.
Glucophage is the best one.
