DESCRIPTION: Dr. Nicholas Perricone has helped millions of people maintain younger looking skin. But in order to truly look and feel younger, readers must preserve their entire body, not just their skin. Now, Dr. Perricone reveals a groundbreaking, 28-day program that promises to help readers stay young forever. The secret is neuropeptides, the biggest breakthrough in anti-aging medicine. The book explains the science behind neuropeptides and the incredible results that can be achieved by regulating and controlling these chemicals in the body. Dr. Perricone reveals a structured program designed to remove wrinkles, speed up metabolism and weight loss, and enhance mood, brain function, and overall health. This three-pronged attack on aging includes Dr. Perricone's exclusive list of 10 superfoods to rejuvenate the body, revolutionary nutritional supplements, and state-of-the-art topical applications. THE PERRICONE PROMISE is the book everyone must own--no matter what their age. |

Americancivilwar.com Review |

For women seeking complexion perfection, Dr. Nicholas Perricone is the name to know; actress Courteney Cox counts herself among his many devotees. In The Perricone Promise, he claims that his 28-day program will help stop and even reverse the aging process, making anyone who follows his advice "look and feel ten years younger." Perricone says the brain and the skin both start out as the same embryonic tissue, so it follows that any efforts aimed at improving one's complexion will also improve one's memory and overall sense of well-being. To this end, he recommends a three-pronged approach: a very specific 28-day diet; supplements taken morning, noon, and night; and his own line of "topical" cosmetics, all aimed at boosting the body's levels of "peptides and neuropeptides." These substances, according to Perricone, are not only the building blocks of the skin's collagen, but an integral part of the functioning of the immune system, and may prevent inflammation in the body that's associated with such illnesses as arthritis and heart disease. Perricone's diet sensibly includes a "rainbow" of fruits and vegetables and the liberal use of herbs and spices, and shuns any foods browned or cooked at high temperatures. But unfortunately, some of the food combinations sound less than appetizing (typical snack: "1-2 ounces sliced turkey or chicken breast, 3 olives, 3 strawberries, 8 ounces water"). His eponymous supplements and cosmetics are also pretty pricey, but as far as Perricone's fans are concerned, when it comes to putting the brakes on the aging process, you get what you pay for. --Erica Jorgensen |

Perricone Diet- Great Info and... |
I read the book, well written and informative and started the eating plan today. You do NOT have to buy the skin care line, or his over-priced versions of the supplements. I got most (not all) of the supplements locally for about $75.00 for a 2 month supply. That easily replaces mindlessly eating junk at $32.00 a month. And since most of my misc. medical stuff is inflammatory related, I will be happy to get relief! A friend did this and said she had a big change after 4 weeks, energy-wise, plus more. AND you DON'T have to eat just FISH. There's lots of ideas/recipes for lean chicken, turkey and vegetarian dishes. If you can cook (or not), it's not that hard...
Evidently Perricone sold his business a while back, hence no new books. I also couldn't find any active online support groups, etc. Oh well...

The straight goods on skin rejuvenation |
Finally, a medical professional with the conviction to say what he knows works instead of being middle-of-the-road on the issues of skin care. While some of the recommendations are expensive, I liked the simple solutions and explanations for improving skin. Some of the information is from the 70's which, at the time, was frowned on my much of the medical community. Good on Nicholas Perricone for sticking to his guns and bringing us this information.

Very Informative |
|
This book is excellent and has indepth information about foods that help to reduce inflamation in the body. The products Dr. Perricone made and promotes are very expensive but the information itself is helpful. The diet he sets up is good and mostly uses common everyday whole foods and is very doable. I highly recommend it for the content and diet. |
