Editorial Review:

The New York Times bestselling author of The Wrinkle Cure presents an astonishing program to reverse the aging process--inside and out.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone has helped millions of people maintain younger looking skin. But in order to truly look and feel younger, readers must preserve the entire body, not just the 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. Perricones 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.
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

The Perricone Promise:

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

good:

The book is in excellent condition....A little hard to do this diet on your own, buying products on your own except the spices...

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... more info
