Summary: Just try the 3 day diet
Review: Buy the book, follow it (I actually cheat regularily, and still get great results), you will not be sorry.Even if you think you don't like fish it is probably due to eating something other than fresh alaskan salmon grilled carefully. You can do anything for 3 days, and the results will speak for itself better than any review I could write. If you are really really against fish, there is an alternative suggested (flax) but I would try grilling some fresh alaskan salmon before you go that route. Anyway, after the 3 day diet I went into the office and had _everyone_ who I work with say something about how I looked without any prompting, 3 of them actually said I looked younger. I've tried everything before this diet, and the black circles under my eyes I've had since my early 20s are gone now, just gone. Buy the book, follow it (I actually cheat regularily, and still get great results), you will not be sorry.

Summary: It Works
Review: It is fiddly, it takes some time, it means a change to your basic shopping and lifestyle - it will attract attention in restaurants when everyone else is tearing the bread apart and sipping their wine while you have the big glass of water. I started doing it but didn't really expect anything too dramatic and I'm lazy so I often don't follow it to the letter. I still drink a bit of coffee and sometimes skip breakfast, I use the creams (not all of them) and can't afford the supplements so I make do with some supplements and a few from the supermarket. I still have a weakness for little snacks which involve crackers and crisps too. However, this water, salmon, berries, melon thing and the creams have got something going for them. Recently a stranger said "your skin is incredible". I caught sight of myself in a window and I was suprised at my high cheekbones and the way my skin looks stronger and plumper and yet more defined. My face looks quite different actually. Hmmm interesting. My body is changing in a similar way and while this is all early days yet and I'm yet to beat some of my lazy habits I intend to keep dropping more of those carbs out of my diet and powering up on all the good stuff. I'd really rather do this than have injections, face lifts and the like at some stage and prevention is better than cure. When I think about how much money I would spend in my younger days on alcohol, cigarettes (when I smoked) and junk food - not to mention all the fashion buys that didn't work out due to body size I think that if you deducted all that from the "costs" of Perricone products etc it's not quite as bad as you think - add in the benefits of feeling amazing and energetic then really you have to be ahead on this one.

Summary: I tried the three-day diet and ended up loosing my dinner!!!
Review: I really liked The Wrinkle Cure, so I bought this next book. I am a healthy, athletic 42 year-old who tries to eat a reasonably well-rounded, healthy diet. I decided to try the three-day diet along with using most of the recommended supplements for the three days. The first day, I was absolutely starving by mid-afternoon and wishing that the planned dinner included some whole grains, or something carbo-oriented. By the second day, by mid-afternoon I had lost my appetite, except for a craving for dairy products. After I ate the prescribed dinner on the second day, I lost my appetite completely. Shortly afterwards, I threw up a couple times! Blech!!! Needless to say, I am looking a little rough this morning and am very happily munching on a blueberry muffin. Nothing has ever tasted this good! No glow to my skin although I did loose 5 pounds of water wieght. To be fair, I suppose I could have eaten bad fish, cantalope, etc., but I suspect not, because I think I would have had trouble all night long were that the case. I think either the supplements or the monotony and unbalanced nature of this diet caused my problem. Sorry, I am not impressed!

Summary: THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!!
Review: Put simply, I tried the 30 day prescription and it has worked wonders on my body! I was 192, and since I have stopped eating foods with a high glycemic index I am now 160! Soon I'll be at my ideal weight which is 140 at 21% body fat. Most importantly, I feel healthier and I know I am. I even used to have SEVERE acne, and now it has almost completely gone away! Perricone is right, inflammation is what causes problems with our body. I consider this book the HEALTH BIBLE! =)

Summary: It works!
Review: Well, I don't know about the vitamins and the skin products (though I bought them) but the book makes sense (almost too much technical detail) and I lost 10 pounds! Could use more recipies though...

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: After watching Dr. Perricone on PBS, I decided to purchase the book and take it from there. I am in the scientific field and was impressed with Perricone's scietific literature references (all from solid, credible sources). After reading the book, decided to give the supplement program a try. I already eat very healthy (salmon fantatic for years) and excercise 6x a week with weights and cycling. So, the only realy modification was the supplement program. My plan was to try it for one month and if I didn't notice a difference, I would stop the program. Well, that was 7 months ago. Very quickly after I started the program, I noticed a huge uplift in energy levels and in the following months I noticed a major increase in sex drive. I am a male, 42 years old, good shape, and healthy. The bottom line: I am absolutely convinced that his program is on target. It's not easy to follow and requires some planning, but the payoff is huge. Buy the book and follow the program. Give it time. You WILL notice a difference. This book has become my healthy lifestyle guide.

Summary: A must if you want to improve your look and health!
Review: The thing I loved so much about this book was that, even if you don't do everything the book recommends (I just take 5 of the vitamens mentioned, and I cut down a little on the bad foods ^_^), you will still see results. I used to have horrible scared oily skin. After 2 and a half months of just doing a few of the things mentioned in this book, I have dropped 10 pounds, my skin is practically oil-free, I no longer break out terribly the way I use to, my acne scaring is almost gone, my pores have shrunk, my face is more toned, smoother, and I have MUCH more color in my face than before (I was real pale and sick looking). I am never letting this book go. I make the suggested meals (in the book) once or twice a week. I don't eat fish (which the book really promotes), so I substitude it with chicken or turkey. No biggy. All the meals the Doctor mentiones are simple to make, even my 12 year old sister can make them. Nothing exotic or strange. Like I said before, you don't have to eat the meals all the time. You really begin to notice a difference after a week and a half. Though, you have to remember: This takes EFFORT on YOUR part. Don't be lazy. Reading the book will not make you healthier or give you better skin; actually DOING WHAT IS RECOMMENDED in the book is what will get you to your goal. It's an easy read (unless you're a part of the large number of adults that read at a fourth grade level). I recommend it for to anyone that wants to improve their looks and health. This book should get a 10 star rating.

Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Review: I have to say this book caught my interest right off, especially after paging through it and seeing the difference in so many faces, in so short a period of time. Could this be true? There had to be a catch and I was going to find it, or so I thought. Dr Perricone reveals his theory that aging is caused by inflammation at the cellular level and is speeded along with our life styles, such as poor nutrition, pollution and stress, to name a few.
He explains how we can change our dietary habits, take in the proper vitamins, exercise
correctly and totally rejuvenate our body.
This was worth reading.
He shares with you case studies, shows you before and after pictures, gives you names of vitamins and tells you what they are good for and what the symptoms are if you are lacking these. He even shows you how to exercise properly, all bringing you to a new and healthier body. Very good! The only problem I had with the entire regiment was the diet. I do not like fish, cannot eat it, and that is one of the main
staples in his food chain. I need an alternative Dr. Perricone, any suggestions?
If that stronghold is overcome I would gladly give his system a whirl. I believe he is really on to something and I'd like to give it a try. All in all this was a great read, informative
from page one on. I highly recommend this book, I believe it will help many people live a happier and healthier life. One final thought, if you were to receive this book as a gift for Mother's Day as I did, just what would your reaction be?
Was my child trying to tell me I was turning into an old hag and this book might help?;or,was he truly concerned for my future and my health? Perhaps I will never know that answer, but one thing is for sure, I did enjoy the knowledge this book gave to me, and for that I say, "Thank you!"

Summary: I'm Sold
Review: All of my life I have been the poster boy for bad skin. Itchy, scaly, irritable, inflamed.... Very frustrating. At times maddening. My local dermatologist told me that I had an unusual combination of skin problems that would be a life long maintenance problem for me. He gave me some perscriptions but warned me that there was only so much that could be done. The drugs & creams were only marginally successful and were expensive and a hassle. So the battle continued. Recently I saw Dr. Perricone doing some fund raising program on a PBS station while visiting Washington DC. He said a lot of things that seemed to make sense (of course they always do), so I looked him up on Amazon and read the reviews. Then in desperation and hope for improvement of my life long skin problems I decided to buy the book and give it a try. I read it carefully and then set out to implement his program. It took a while to gather up all the necessary suppliments at the Vitamin Shoppe. There are a lot of them. I did the three day crash program to see what would happen. Let me tell you, the change was DRAMATIC!!!! I really could not believe it. Now, I don't know if I look like I have had a face lift or any younger, but I don't care (Although some have said they notice a difference in my face). Much of the frustrating skin problem I have suffered with all of my life has improved greatly. This Program has changed my life and removed one of the great burdens I have carried all these years. I only wish I would have discovered this guy earlier. Now for the criticisms. Is it expensive? Whoa nelly. It is. There are a lot of expensive foods and suppliments to buy. Is it a pain? Well, you do have to take an awful lot of suppliment pills but I actually find this more convenient than dealing with the perscriptions I used to use, and it is all over the counter. Fewer doctor visits. Is the diet restrictive? Yes it is, but no pain, no gain. Besides, better to eat to live than live to eat. I find that the diet works for me and I only fall off of it rarely. Is my skin now perfect? No. I still fight with some issues, but they are minor compared to the way it was before. My skin has improved a thousand fold and my frustration levels have dropped precipitously. All I can say is that I am sold. I guess in this case I really do get what I pay for. Sure, I would like it to be cheaper and less complicated, but I would rather spend the money and effort than go back to the way my skin was before. So I will suck up the cost and stick with this. As long as I have a life long maintenance problem with my skin, at least I can be happy knowing that the maintenance is working and the money well spent. If I could I would give Dr. Perricone 1000 stars. He has made that much of a difference for me!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This plan has already worked for me and my skin looks incredible after being on the program for a few months. I would highly recommend this book to my friends looking to regain that youthful appearance!
