Product Description
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.
Amazon.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

• What An Amazing Book!

"Sadly many of our food choices are directly responsible for wrinkles, degenerative diseases, and accelerated aging." ~ Nicholas Perricone, M.D.
"The Perricone Promise" is a great book for anyone who wants to make antiaging a priority in their life. I've been following a lot of the advice in this book and it definitely works. While some of the supplements are pretty expensive ($45 for a bottle of Thymic Peptides - 20 pills - Wellness Thymic Peptide) I'm taking many other antiaging supplements that are reasonably priced.
Source Naturals Astaxanthin, 2 mg, Softgels, 120 softgels
EFA Gold EPA-18 200 sgels
Source Naturals Coenzyme Q10, 200 mg, Softgels, 60 softgels
Enzymatic Therapy 7-keto Dhea, 60 Capsules - this is not mentioned in this book. You may want to read: The Metabolic Plan: Stay Younger Longer
Kal DMAE 100 mg 100 Tablet
Source Naturals Skin Eternal Hyaluronic Acid, 50 mg, Tablets , 120 tablets - this is not mentioned in this book either but it works to make you look younger.
By taking the advice in this book you can not only repair the skin but you can also decrease the chance of having cancer. To make this user friendly Nicholas Perricone gives lists of foods you should eat to look ten years younger. He also provides lots of recipes. Some of the recipes include:
Mediterranean Turkey Soup
Curried Shrimp
Lemon Chicken
Grilled Indian Chicken
Buckwheat Pilaf
These recipes are used in the menu section. There are 28 days worth of menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is an emphasis on protein in each meal and even when snacking. Like before bed he recommends you eat a hard-boiled egg. Most of the breakfasts are either eggs, salmon or buckwheat cereal.
I like the way the book is organized. It is a fairly fast read considering some of the more complex chapters on supplements. The book begins with recommended foods then it moves on to suggested supplements. The section on topicals is where things get a little expensive. While it is true that Nicholas Perricone promotes his products throughout this book he does it in a way that is helpful not intrusive. Some of the products he sells cost hundreds of dollars but they must work. For me, I just take the advice I can afford.
If you are looking for less expensive products that work fairly well I'd recommend anything by Derma E. I've been using Derma E Pycnogenol Eye Gel, .5 oz gel for years and have seen good results. I also like Alpha Lipoderm Alpha Lipoic / Green Tea Advanced Repair Complex - 2 oz. - Cream.
If you are really serious about antiaging then you may also want to read:

The Metabolic Plan: Stay Younger Longer - this book changed my life! After I read it I was so excited about it I sent my copy to a friend. So now I need to buy myself a second copy.

• The Perricone Promise
17 June, 2009
I don't believe the book was rated correctly by the book seller. The book arrived with many of the pages written on and many others folded for future reference by the previous user(s), none of which were in the condition review. Maybe I am spoiled because I have gotten such excellent products before through Amazon. Didn't pay very much, but I would have been willing to pay more to get a book in better condition if I had known.Barbara
